“…While preferences for slope gradients may differ for each wildlife species, a common preference for gentle slopes can be observed in many mammalian species in Korea [ 42 ], including Siberian roe deer ( Capreolus pygargus ) [ 43 ], leopard cat [ 17 ], Korean water deer [ 15 , 44 ], and wild boar ( Sus scrofa ) [ 45 ]. Compared to other neighboring provinces, the adequate forests with gentle slope gradients found within the study region can serve as ecological corridors, facilitating movement [ 44 ], enhancing the availability of water [ 43 ] and food resources [ 44 ], providing sites for resting and hunting [ 46 ], and for avoiding mountainous carnivores [ 15 ] and human conflicts [ 17 ].…”

This study was conducted as an effort to examine the association between mammalian species richness and environmental, anthropogenic, and bioclimate factors in the Province of Chungnam, Korea, using a stacked species distribution model (SSDM) approach. An SSDM model was constructed using an extensive dataset collected from 1357 mammal sampling points and their corresponding forest, geographical, anthropogenic, and bioclimatic information. Distance to forest edge, elevation, slope, population density, and distance to water channels were identified as important variables for determining species richness, whereas the impact of bioclimate variables was less important. The endemism map showed a strong correlation with species richness, suggesting the important role of endemic species. Overestimation was observed in areas with lower species richness. However, the findings of the study still demonstrated that valuable insights can be obtained through the use of the SSDM, which may be helpful to land managers, aiding in the effective management of wildlife habitats, particularly in regions with an abundance of species richness and endemism.

“…Roe deer's altitudinal preferences reportedly differ with habitat conditions (Mysterud 1999, Qin 2011, Park and Lee 2014). In this study, roe deer tended to occupy high‐altitude areas above 800–1000 m a.s.l.. Altitude can affect roe deer's ecology in several ways, including changes in microclimate (Mysterud et al 1997, Pagon et al 2013).…”

Understanding climatic effect on wildlife is essential to prediction and management of climate change's impact on the ecosystem. The climatic effect can interact with other environmental factors. This study was aimed to determine effects of climate and altitude on Siberian roe deer Capreolus pygargus activity in temperate forests of South Korea. We conducted camera trapping to investigate roe deer's activity level from spring to fall. Logistic regressions were used to determine effects of diel period, temperature, rain, and altitude on the activity level. A negative relationship was noted between temperature and the activity level due to thermoregulatory costs. Roe deer activity exhibited nocturnal and crepuscular patterns during summer and the other seasons, respectively, possibly due to heat stress in summer. In addition, the effect of temperature differed between high‐ and low‐altitude areas. In low‐altitude areas, temperature affected negatively the activity level throughout the study period. Conversely, in high‐altitude areas, temperature affected activity level only in summer and early fall. Lower temperatures in higher altitudes favoured roe deer activity, resulting in roe deer's preference towards higher altitude areas. However, roe deer's movement toward lower altitudes was observed in summer. Reduced heat stress by changing activity pattern allowed them to access lower altitude areas with greater resource availability during summer. This study revealed how roe deer activity varied across seasons and altitudes, considering the interactions among weather, microclimate and resource availability. It provides insight into how montane species adapt to various climatic conditions, and this could have important implications for wildlife management and conservation efforts.

“…The wildlife generally consider the gradient of slope as an essential factor for hiding or rearing their infants upon selecting their habitat, and the preferred slope gradients are varied with species (Congalton et al 1993). The roe deer was found to inhabit areas with slope gradients of 20-30 (Park and Lee 2014), and the other study reported that ecological corridor for the movement of roe deer is most appropriate to build with slope gradients of 24-32 (Jeong 2011). In the case of boars' habitat, there is a preference to inhabit areas with a relatively gentle slope (less than 20 ) (Keimyung University 2015).…”

“…Generally, there is higher moisture content and soil fertility on the north and east slope compared to the others. Due to these certain condition in the north and east slope, lots of invasion and vigorous growth of the vegetation have encouraged the wildlife movement and hiding (Chen et al 1999, Park andLee 2014).…”

Existing forest roads that are the base infrastructure foundation for forest management have been built with a focus on structural stability rather than ecological impact. In recent, however, the concerns on the ecological and environmental impacts on the forest road construction has been increased with the emphasis of sustainable forest management and the improvement of public awareness. Especially, the cut slopes that occurred on the forest road construction are known to affect the movement and habitat of wild animals living in the forest. This study aims to establish environmental and structural standards for the cut slopes by identifying the effect of forest road cut slopes on the movement of wild animals based on a survey of national forest roads in South Korea (30 km in total). Seven factors associated with forest road cut slopes, including cut slope length, cut slope gradient, soil type, longitudinal position, crossing position, aspect, and vegetation coverage, as well as wildlife tracks were investigated. As a result of statistical analysis using cross tabulation to determine the correlation of wildlife tracks with each cut slope factor, five factors (soil type, cut slope gradient, cut slope length, vegetation coverage, and crossing position) were significantly identified. Using these five factors, a prediction model to predict whether wildlife move or not on the cut slope was developed, and the discriminant hit ratio was 76.0%. Thus, using such models, there is a need to develop the guidelines of forest road installation considering the wildlife movement and of ecological corridor installation for more eco-friendly forest road construction and design in the future.
