Abstract

The objective of this study was to estimate the changes of stand structure before and after applying the three different silvicultural treatments such as selection cutting system, two-storied system, and shelterwood system. This study has been conducted in the natural deciduous forests in Pyeongchang of Gangwon Province, Korea. Nine permanent sampling plots of 0.09 ha were established in the forests and each of the three silvicultural treatments was applied to three sampling points. Some tree variables were measured in each stand before and after the silvicultural treatments were applied. With these data, stand attributes were estimated in each stand before and after applying the silvicultural treatments. In this study, a competition index was used to analyze the differences among structures of stands managed by three different silvicultural treatments. Hegyi's distance-dependent competition index was estimated and compared to analyze the differences of stand structures among the stands before and after silvicultural treatments. A method using a height angle $50^{\circ}$ from the base of the subject tree was adopted as the selection method of competitor trees. Duncan's multiple range test and t-test were then employed to statistically analyze the difference of stand structure among the stands. The results revealed that competition status among trees in the stand seems to be improved after applying the silvicultural treatments. There are significant differences in the competition index between before and after silvicultural treatments for each stand. According to the evaluation of competition index, it was confirmed that spatial structure of the stands was improved by applying the silvicultural treatments.

본 연구는 강원도 평창군 가리왕산 일대의 천연 활엽수림을 대상으로 택벌림화 작업, 이단림화 작업, 그리고 산벌림화 작업의 3가지 작업방법별 시업 전과 시업 후의 경쟁지수 변화를 평가함으로써 산림생태계 경영에 필요한 정보를 제공하기 위해 수행하였다. 이를 위해 $30m{\times}30m$(0.09 ha) 크기의 고정표본점을 각 작업방법별로 3반복으로 설치하고 시업 전과 시업 후의 정밀 임분조사를 실시하였다. 이와 같이 조사된 자료에 근거하여 Hegyi의 거리종속 경쟁지수를 추정하였으며, 경쟁목의 범위는 중심목의 지표로부터 $50^{\circ}$로 시준된 각도에 의해 경쟁목을 선정하는 방법을 사용하였다. 각 작업방법별 그리고 시업 전후의 임분구조 변화를 평가하기 위해 Duncan의 다중검정과 t-검정을 실시하였다. 작업방법별 시업전후의 경쟁지수를 분석한 결과 작업방법에 관계없이 시업을 통해 임분구조가 개선된 것으로 평가되었다. 또한 시업 전과 시업 후의 경쟁지수는 통계적인 차이를 보여 각 작업방법별 임분의 공간 구조는 시업을 통해 개선된 것을 확인할 수 있었다.
