본 연구는 경상북도 춘양지방 금강소나무림(이하 춘양목소나무림)의 식생구조 및 생육밀도를 밝히기 위하여 36개 조사구(단위면적: 100$m^2$)를 설치하고 식생조사를 실시하였다. 36개 조사구는 교목층의 흉고직경의 크기에 따라 군집을 분류한 결과. 군집 I (대경목), 군집 II (대경목), 군집 III(중경목), 군집 IV(소경목)의 4개 소나무군집으로 분리되었고, 교목층은 소나무, 아교목층은 쇠물푸레와 신갈나무, 관목층은 철쭉꽃과 진달래가 우점하였다. 4개 군집의 종다양도는 0.4320~0.9487(단위면적: 400$m^2$)로 낮은 상태이었으며 군집간 유사성이 높았다. 생육밀도 분석결과 흉고단면적은 평균흉고직경 이 작은 군집일수록 낮았으며, 평균흉고직경, 개체수, 최단거 리 간의 회귀분석결과 생육거리(m) = 0.0934$\times$흉고직경(cm)+0.6117, 개체수=242.47$\times$흉고직경(cm)$^{-1.1009}$, 생육거리=9.643$\times$개체수$^{-0.7016}$이었다. 아울러 본 군집들은 수령 30~50년생, 낙엽층 두께 0.5~2.5cm, 관목피도율 20% 정도로 송이생육에 적합한 것으로 판단되었다.
Thirty-six plots (each size 100m2) have been set up and surveyed to investigate the plant community structure and the ecological density of Pinus densiflora for. eracta(Chunyang-type) community in Seobyeok-ri, Chungyang-myeon, bonghwa-gun, Kyeongsangbuk-do. Four communities, Community I (large DBH class), Community II (large DBH class), Community III (middle DBH class), Community IV(small DBH class), were classified into by mean DBH and mean height. Pinus densiflora for. eracta dominate in canopy layer, Fraxinus sieboldiana and Quercus mongolica dominate in understory layer, Rhododendron Schlippenbachii and R. mucronulatum dominate in shrub layer. It turned out that thefour communiteis had low species diversity(0.4320~0.9487; unit: 400$m^2$) and high similarity. By the result of ecological density analysis. the mean basal area was proportionated to mean DBH (cm) size. By the result of simple regression analysis between mean DBH(cm), mean distance(m), and the number of individual were as follow: Ecological distance(m) = 0.0934$\times$ DBH(cm) +0.6117, Number of individual=242.47$\times$ DBH(cm)$^{-1.009}$, Ecological distance=9.643$\times$No. of individua $l^{-0.7016}$. In addition to four communities were suitable to the growth of Tricholoma matsutake because average species were about 30~50 years old, litter layer was 0.5~2.5cm and the ratio of coverage shrub was 20% .
