Abstract

This study analyzed on the characteristics of community structure, species composition, population conditions and annual mean radial growth of Taxus cuspidata in the subalpine zone of the Seoraksan, Deokyusan, and Hallasan National Parks. Deokyusan and Hallasan sites had three layers of stratification structure without tree layer in it and four layer in Seoraksan site. The major dominant species in the order of importance value were as follows: T. cuspidata, Acer tschonoskii var. rubripes, Quercus mongolica, Abies koreana and Sorbus commixta. The trees (> 5 cm DBH) of T. cuspidata were extremely high with 986.0 individuals/ha at the Hallasan site. Average DBH class were 42.0 cm at the Hallasan site and mainly showed large class. The populations of seedlings and saplings with 357.3 individuals/ha, and juvenile with 128.6 individuals/ha, as a succession tree, were found to be the highest at the Hallasan site. In the size frequency distribution, the populations of T. cuspidata in Mt. Halla site showed a reverse J-shaped curve and it was estimated that T. cuspidata community of this site might be maintained continuously as a stable state like present state. Annual mean radial growth of T. cuspidata populations at Seoraksan, Deokyusan, and Hallasan sites showed up as 1.27 mm/year, 0.93 mm/year and 0.89 mm/year respectively.

본 연구는 설악산, 덕유산, 한라산국립공원의 아고산대에 분포하는 주목개체군의 군락구조와 종조성, 개체군동태, 연륜생장을 조사, 분석하였다. 각 조사지별 계층구조는 덕유산과 한라산은 교목층이 없는 3층구조를, 설악산지역에서는 4층구조로 분포하였다. 중요치를 통한 주요 분포 수종은 주목을 비롯하여 시닥나무, 신갈나무, 구상나무, 마가목 등으로 나타났다. 주목의 개체(DBH > 5 cm) 밀도는 한라산지역에서 986.0개체/ha로 가장 높게 나타났으며, 평균 흉고직경은 설악산지역이 42.0 cm로 대경목의 개체들이 주로 분포하였다. 유묘와 치수, 그리고 후계목으로서 유목의 밀도는 357.3개체/ha와 128.6개체/ha로 한라산지역에서 각각 가장 높게 나타났다. 흉고직경 분포에서는 한라산지역의 주목개체군이 역J자형의 유형을 보이고 있어 현 식생상태의 지속적 유지가 가능할 것으로 판단된다. 연평균 연륜생장은 설악산, 덕유산, 한라산지역이 1.27 mm/연, 0.93 mm/연, 0.89 mm/연 순으로 각각 나타났다.
