Abstract
This study was carried out to the structure of plant community from Sinseongam to Jungdaesa in Odaesan National Park, furthermore, it seeks to curate the basic data for planning of the Abies holophylla's forest management in Odaesan National Park. In order to identify the current ecological environment, this study explored the actual vegetation as primary research and set to twenty plots(i.e. $400m^2$) for analysing detailed structure of plant communities. The research methodology was qualitative analysis, therefore it used TWINSPAN and DCA analysis tools. Especially, TWINSPAN performed well in several comparisons of classification techniques, DCA is one of the ordination technique showed that the plant communities. The plant community was analysed classification and ordination by TWINSPAN and DCA, moreover it was analysed the structure of plant community such as importance percentage of woody species, DBH class distribution, the index of diversity and rate of sample tree growth. The main vegetation was A. holophylla-Quercus mongolica forest and Deciduous broad-leaved forest in the communities where located in low altitude and valley, whereas main vegetation where located in high altitude and slope was Q. mongolica forest. The research site's plant communities were classified four groups. In all of communities, A. holophylla was dominant species in main canopy layer, furthermore, the three communities (community I, II, III) are growing up next generation of A. holophylla excluding community IV. The communities (community I, II, III) can be sustained current status which dominates the A. holophylla communities, simultaneously, there might be expanded the Deciduous broad-leaved communities by Carpinus cordata, Betula schmidtii and so on. While, it showed that the community IV tended to be weaken the forces of A. holophylla, therefore the community IV can be transferred to C. cordata-Deciduous broad-leaved communities in the future. The age of sample trees was 79~128(i.e. A. holophylla), 75~87(i.e. Pinus koraiensis) and 190 years(i.e. Ulmus davidiana var. japonica). The index of Shannon's Species diversity (H') were ranged from 0.3889 to 1.3332 in the communities.
본 연구는 오대산국립공원 신성암에서 중대사 구간을 대상으로 식물군집구조를 밝히고 향후 전나무림 관리를 위한 기초자료를 구축하고자 하였다. 조사구는 총 20개 조사구($400m^2$)를 설정하였다. 연구대상지 주변지역에 대한 현존식생 현황을 파악하였고, 군집분류는 TWINSPAN에 의한 classification과 DCA에 의한 ordination 분석을 하였으며, 식물군집구조 분석은 상대우점치, 흉고직경급별 분포, 표본목 수령 및 생장량, 종다양도 분석 등을 실시하였다. 현존식생 유형은 총 14개 유형으로 구분되었으며, 해발고가 낮은 계곡부에는 전나무-신갈나무림과 낙엽활엽수림이, 해발고가 높은 사면부에는 신갈나무림이 주요 식생이었다. 군집분류 결과, 총 네 개의 군집으로 분류되었으며, 교목층에서는 네 개의 군집 모두 전나무가 우점하였고, 군집 IV를 제외한 3개 군집에서 전나무가 차대를 형성하고 있었다. 군집 I, II, III의 경우 전나무가 우점하는 현재의 군집이 지속적으로 유지되면서, 까치박달 등 낙엽활엽수의 세력이 확장될 것으로 판단되며, 군집 IV의 경우 장기적으로 전나무의 세력약화와 까치박달-낙엽활엽수 군집으로의 변화가 예상되었다. 전나무는 79~128년생, 잣나무는 75~87년생, 느릅나무는 190년생이었으며, 전나무의 생장은 시간이 지남에 따라 다소 둔화되었다. Shannon의 종다양도지수는 0.3889~1.3332이었다.
