ABSTRACT

This study aimed to elucidate how the wood anatomical characteristics of Alnus hirsuta,native to the Korean Peninsula, respond to recent climatic factors such as temperature andprecipitation. Wood samples were collected from five areas including Ulleung, Inje, Namwon, precipitation, confirming the high climate sensitivity of Alnus hirsuta. These results can be used asbasic data for predicting the distribution shift and growth characteristic changes due to climatechange, and suggest that Alnus hirsuta can contribute to ecosystem management as a climate sensitiveindicator species. Sancheong, and Seogwipo. Growth rate of annual rings, frequency, length, area of vessels, frequencyof ray, and fiber length were measured and analyzed. The results of the analysis showed that withhigh temperature and precipitation, the growth amount of annual rings and the area and length ofvessel significantly increased, which reflected the anatomical adaptations that promoted watertransport efficiency and growth. On the other hand, the frequency ofray and the length of fibertendedto decrease under high temperature and high precipitation, suggesting that the storage and mechanicalsupport functions were relatively suppressed. In the Pearson correlation analysis with climateelements, most of the anatomical characters showed significant relationships with temperature and
