Abstract

The purpose of this study was to interpret ecological characteristics and to estimate successional trend for seven classified forest cover types (Quercus mongolica pure forest, Q. mongolica-Q. serrata forest, Mixed mesophytic forest, Abies koreana-Q. mongolica forest, Fraxinus mandshurica forest, Q. serrata forest, and Carpinus laxiflora forest) in the natural forest of Western Jirisan. Q. mongolica pure forest and A. koreana-Q. mongolica forest which were distributed in a high-altitude ridge had the lowest species diversity index. On the other hand, mixed mesophytic forest and F. mandshurica forest which were mainly distributed in the valley had higher index. Based on characteristics of species diversity and topographic conditions, successional trends for forest cover types were estimated as follows; 1) Q. mongolica pure forest and A. koreana-Q. mongolica forest would be changed toward Q. mongolica-A. koreana forest. 2) Q. mongolica-Q. serrata forest, distributed between ridge and mid-slope, would be changed toward Q. mongolica-C. laxiflora-C. cordata forest. 3) Q. serrata forest, distributed in mid-slope, would be changed toward Q. serrata-Q. mongolica-C. laxiflora forest. 4) Mixed mesophytic forest, F. mandshurica forest and C. laxiflora forest, distributed in valley, would maintain the current condition in terms of species composition.

본 연구는 지리산 서부권역의 천연림을 대상으로 7가지로 분류된 산림피복유형(신갈나무 순림형, 신갈나무-졸참나무림형, 중생혼합림형, 구상나무-신갈나무림형, 들메나무림형, 졸참나무림형, 서어나무림형)별로 생태적 특성을 설명하고, 각 유형별로 천이경향을 추정하였다. 고도가 높은 능선에 분포하는 신갈나무 순림형과 구상나무-신갈나무림형의 종다양성지수가 가장 낮게 나왔으며, 계곡에 주로 분포하는 중생혼합림형과 들메나무림형의 종다양성지수가 높게 나타났다. 종다양성과 지형조건을 바탕으로 추정한 산림피복유형들의 천이경향은 다음과 같다. 1) 능선부의 신갈나무 순림형과 구상나무-신갈나무림형은 신갈나무-구상나무림형으로, 2) 능선부과 산복부 사이의 신갈나무-졸참나무림형은 신갈나무-서어나무-까치박달림형으로, 3) 산복부의 졸참나무림형은 졸참나무-신갈나무-서어나무림형으로 천이가 진행 될 것이라 예상된다. 4) 주로 계곡에 분포하고 있는 중생혼합림형, 들메나무림형, 서어나무림형은 현재의 상태를 계속적으로 유지할 것으로 파악되었다.
