Abstract

This study examined the status of the vegetation around Gangcheonsan provincial park located in Sunchang-gun in Jeollabuk-do and Damyang-gun in Jeollanam-do from June 4 to October 12, 2011. Gangcheonsan vegetation was arranged 9 plant communities in accordance with data of 28 releves. Major forest vegetation included Quercus variabilis communityand Quercus variabilis-Quercus serrata community, Pinus densiflora community, and Pinus densiflora-Quercus variabilis community (evergreen coniferous forest in all), and Phyllostachys nigra var. henonis community (plantation). Wetland vegetation included Salix gracilistyla community (riverbank forests), Phragmites japonica community, and Polygonia thunbergii community. Gangcheonsan Provincial Park has beautiful scenery that is in harmony with fantastically-shaped rocks, waterfalls, and valleys and conserves a specific plant community habitat distributed through the forest wetlands including its valleys. It is necessary to conduct long-term monitoring with its focus on Pinus densiflora community, Lycoris koreana community, and Lycoris squamigera community in the provincial park to grasp the characteristics of ecological inhabit changes in major communities and provide active methods for conservation, restoration, and publicity.

본 조사는 2009년부터 2011년까지 전라북도 순창군과 전남 담양군 일대에 강천산 군립공원의 식생 현황을 조사하였다. 강천산 군립공원의 식생은 총 28개의 식생자료를 바탕으로 9개의 군락으로 분류되었으며, 주요 삼림식생은 산지낙엽활엽수림인 굴참나무군락 및 졸참나무-굴참나무군락, 산지침엽수림은 소나무군락, 소나무-굴참나무군락, 소나무-상수리나무군락 및 솜대군락으로 나타났다. 습지식생은 갯버들군락, 고마리군락, 달뿌리풀군락 등이 나타났다. 강천산 군립공원은 기암괴석, 폭포, 계곡 등이 어우러져 자연경관이 우수하며, 산지계곡습지에 분포하는 특정식물군락 서식지가 잘 보전되어 있다. 강천산군립공원 내에 자생하고 있는 소나무군락, 백양꽃군락 및 석산군락 조성지를 중심으로 장기모니터링을 실시함으로서 주요 군락의 생태적 서식지 변화에 대한 특성을 파악하여, 적극적인 보전, 복원, 홍보 방안 마련이 필요하다.
