2024 Forest Foliage Prediction Map.,
,
, ‘[Herald Economy= by Lee Gwon-hyeong] The Korea Forest Service (Director Lim Sang-sub) announced the ‘2024 Forest Foliage Prediction Map’ on the 23rd, which includes the peak foliage times of pine trees, deciduous trees, and maple trees distributed throughout Korea.’,
,
, ‘The Korea Forest Service announces the ‘Forest Foliage Prediction Map’ based on biological seasonal data observed at 112 sites nationwide in collaboration with the National Arboretum and 9 regional public arboretums every year, as well as the mountainous weather information of the National Institute of Forest Science.’,
,
, ‘Looking at the peak foliage times by species, it was shown as ▷pine trees(October 28) ▷deciduous trees(October 29) ▷maple trees(October 31). There may be differences by region, but it is expected that the foliage will be somewhat later compared to last year, especially the peak foliage time of the Japanese cork oak is expected to be about 5 days later than the past 2 years.’,
,
, ‘This is mainly due to the average temperature in June to August this year rising by about 1.3℃ compared to the 10-year average from 2009 to 2023, and it is found to show regional differences due to geographical factors such as latitude and altitude, as well as abnormal weather conditions such as heatwaves and heavy rains.’,
,
, ‘Korea Forest Service’s Choi Young-tae, Director of Forest Protection, stated, “It has been found that the foliage season is getting later due to the prolonged hot weather caused by climate change,” and said, “To further increase the accuracy of the prediction map, we plan to gradually expand the observation points and target species at forest ecological management centers nationwide.”‘,
