박달목서군락의 식생구조 및 토양특성

This study was carried out to analyze vegetation and soil characteristic of Osmanthus insularis community, Geomundo. The Osmanthus insularis community was classified into three subcommunities: Mallotus japonicus subcommunity, Ficus erecta subcommunity, Raphiolepis umbellata subcommunity.

According to the DBH analysis. Osmanthus insularis showed formality distribution style among the entire community. Their dominance is expected to continue. But the young plant individual were low density, importance value reduced. In the study sites, soil organic matter, nitrogen, available phosphorous and soil pH were ranged from 19.11~24.62%, 0.73~1.18%, 11.61~27.98mg/kg and 6.11~6.37, respectively.
