ECOLOGICAL IMPACTS OF FIRE AND POSTFIRE RESTORATION IN KOREA

Fire is a major driving force shaping and maintaining the integrity of various forest ecosystems. In particular, pine forests often depend on fire for sustainability, because fire removes the organic layer of the forest floor to prepare a desirable seedbed and helps eliminate competitors. The majority of Korean forests are dominated by pine species, because pine forests were historically protected for various purposes (e.g., source for building material), and pine species were widely planted in the 1960s and 1970s to restore the barren soil that resulted from the Korean War and excessive natural resource extraction since 1907. Fires, however, have been excluded from the modern Korean landscape for an extended time mainly due to an aggressive fire exclusion policy and low fuel loading to sustain crown fires. Consequently, it is not clearly known how dominant native species (e.g., Pinus densiflora, P. thunbergii, and Quercus mongolica) interact with fire in Korea and how fire influences interspecific competition among them. Naturally, the general public did not consider fire an integral and essential part of forest maintenance in Korea and believed it could only yield harmful results. Moreover, some people even believed that Korean forests could be maintained without fire. For the first time in modern history, Korea experienced a wildland fire [1,000 ha in 1996 (3,762 ha), which was followed by several large fires, including the Eastern Coastal Fire in 2000 that burned 23,794 ha (or approximately 0.4 % of Korea’s total forest) in 9 days. These series of fires concerned the general public for two reasons: (1) people became aware that large-scale fires ([1,000 ha) can occur in Korea, and (2) forest fire can threaten daily life because many people live very close to the forest (two thirds of Korea is forest). Climate change is also believed to increase wildfire intensity and size, and high fuel loading that is a result of a fire exclusion policy exacerbates it. These circumstances emphasize the need to understand fire regime and behavior in Korea. Various studies were also conducted pertaining to fire prevention and prediction and forest restoration and ecology over the last 15 years. Synthesizing and sharing current knowledge regarding fire science in Korea with the community will generate better synergism. This special issue contains five contributions intended to describe the effects of forest fires on forest ecosystems in eastern coastal areas of Korea and provide an overview of restoration projects. The first contribution, by Ahn et al. (2013) provides a review of studies in Korea over the last two decades and compares findings with other such studies worldwide. Their review covers various fire ecology topics (i.e., postfire stand dynamics, soil property, water quality, and fire effects on insects and soil fauna), as well as postfire restoration planning issues (i.e., pine restoration, fuel breaks, and soil erosion). This work summarizes up-to-date fire science studies in Korea and help readers understand the dynamics of fires in Korea. Moreover, it helps researchers identify future study needs.
