Abstract

In order to investigate vertical plant distribution on Osaek valley of Mt. Seorak by temperature change, vascular plants of fourteen areas with 100-meter-high difference were surveyed from the Osaekgyo(345m alt.) to the Daecheongbong(1708m alt.). A total of 449 taxa belonging to 94 families, 279 genera, 397 species, 5 subspecies, 45 varieties, and 2 forma were vegetated on survey areas. Around 500 m high did species diversity of vascular plants decrease rapidly. The Detrended correspondence analysis(DCA) divided distribution of vascular plants into five groups; areas below 500m alt., 500~900m alt., 900~1400m alt., 1,400~1,600m alt., and areas above 1,600m alt.. These results showed that vegetation of vascular plants on investigated areas has high correlation with climate elements of temperature. Vascular plants should be crowded within their own optimal ranges of vegetation. Climate change would result in shift of these distribution ranges, and thus vegetation shift will be happened accordingly.

설악산 오색계곡의 고도별 온도변화에 따른 관속식물의 수직분포 및 분포변화를 파악하기 위해 오색교(325m)에서 대청봉(1,708m)까지 해발 100m단위로 등분하여 14개 구간에 대한 식물목록을 작성하였다. 2010년 6월부터 2011년 5월까지 조사한 결과 관속식물은 94과 279속 397종 5아종 45변종 2품종 총 449분류군으로 조사되었다. 해발 500m(WI=$79.0^{\circ}C{\cdot}month$)를 경계로 관속식물의 출현종 수가 급격히 감소하였다. DCA방법에 의한 구간 간의 식물종 분포의 유사도는 고도에 따른 온도변화와 높은 상관관계를 나타내는 제1축(Eig.=0.70)에 대하여 해발 500m(WI=79.0), 900m(WI=63.6), 1,400m(WI=44.8), 1,600m(WI=38.2)를 경계로 5개 그룹으로 구분되어 배열되었다. 한편, 제2축(Eig.=0.27)에 대하여 해발 1,100m를 경계로 구분되어 배열되었다. 따라서 고도에 따른 구간 간의 관속식물 분포의 유사성 및 상이성을 확인함으로써, 관속식물 종들의 고도별 생존분포 양상을 파악할 수 있었다. 이와 같이 식물종의 분포가 변화하는 것은 온도에 직접적인 영향을 받고 있음을 확인할 수 있었다. 식물종은 생육지역의 온도에 따라 생존에 필수적인 호적범위 내에서 분포하므로 기후변화로 인한 기온상승은 현재 식물종의 분포변화를 변경시킬 것으로 예상된다.
