Abstract

The degree to which microenvironmental factors are linked to spatial patterns of vegetational factors within ecosystems has important consequences for our understanding of how ecosytems are structured and for conservation of rare species in ecosystems. We studied this relationships between the spatial patterns of microenvironmental factors and vegetational factors in temperate hardwood forest in Mt. Jumbong Biological Reserve Area, Korea. To do this, environmental and vegetational factors from 196 micropoints in a 0.49 ha plot were investigated. Most of all environmental factors and vegetational factors showed the variations among micropoints. Microtopographic factors, litter depth, soil moisture content and relative light intensity at this site were spatially dependent at a scale of 14∼62 m. Coverage of tree and shrub layer and species diversity of herb layer in autumn were spatially dependent at a scale of < 15 m. Species richness and species diversity of herb layer in spring and species richness of herb layer in autumn were spatially dependent at a scale of 28∼48 m. Multiple regression analysis showed that spatial patterns of species richness and species diversity of herb layer in spring and autumn were affected by litter depth, slope, subtree layer, shrub, Sasa borealis etc. The best predictor for the spatial patterns of species richness and species diversity of herb layer at this site was the spatial pattern of litter depth. Species richness and species diversity of herb layer showed strongly negative correlation with litter depth. We estimate that the spatial pattern of litter depth at this site were affected by direction of wind, microtopography and spatial pattern of shrub layer.

생태계 내에서 미소환경요인과 식생 요인의 상호관련성을 밝히는 일은 생태계의 구성원리와 생태계의 관리에 많은 도움을 준다. 생물권보전지역으로 지정된 점봉산 일대의 온대낙엽수림에서 식생요인과 환경요인의 공간적 이질성을 정량화하고, 임상식생의 공간분포에 미치는 미소환경요인의 영향을 파악하였다. 대부분의 환경요인과 식생요인은 영구방형구내 미소지소간에 변이를 나타내었다. 환경요인 중에서 공간의존도가 높은 요인들은 지형적요인(고도, 경사도), 낙엽층 두께, 토양수분 함량 및 상대광도이었고, 공간의존거리가 상대적으로 짧은 요인은 낙엽층 두께, 상대광도 및 마그네슘 함량이었다. 식생요인 중에서 아교목층의 피도, 가을 초본층의 피도 및 철쭉꽃의 피도를 제외하고는 모든 변수들의 공간의존도는 높은 편이었다. 교목층의 피도, 관목층의 피도 및 가을 초본층의 종다양성 지수의 공간의존거리는 15 m 이내이었고,초봄 초본층의 종풍부도와 종다양성지수 및 가을 초본층의 종풍부도의 공간의존거리는 28∼48 m이었다. 초봄과 가을 임상식물의 종풍부도와 종다양성지수의 공간분포에 영향을 주는 요인으로는 낙엽층 두께, 경사도, 아교목층의 피도, 관목층의 피도, 조릿대의 피도 등이었는데,그 중에서 가장 크게 영향을 주는 요인은 낙엽층 두께로서 낙엽층 두께가 두꺼운 곳일수록 종풍부도와 종다양성지수가 낮은 경향이었다. 본 조사지역에서 낙엽층의 공간 분포에 영향을 주는 요인들로는 바람의 방향, 미소지형 및 관목의 밀집정도로 추정되었다.
