Abstract

This study was performed to evaluate the Ip-am wetland located in the Naejang National Park by analyzing vegetation and landscape and to suggest management plans. We carried out field survey in 2013 and analyzed aerial photos in 1976 and 2010 for landscape change. As a result, the places that were paddy fields in the past were dominated by 5 communities such as Salix koreensis Community (21.6%), Persicaria thunbergii Community (2.8%), Phragmites communis Community (1.1%), Molinia japonica Community (4.9%), Persicaria thunbergii-Molinia japonica Community (0.5%). On the other hand, the places that were upper fields in the past were occupied mostly by Rosa multiflora Community (6.8%), Humulus japonicus-Rosa multiflora Community (42.0%), Humulus japonicus Community (10.6%). In order to maintain and manage the wetland, water should be supplied continuously by making use of the six among the seven reservoirs located in the upper part through the hydrological survey should be accomplished. In addition, it was necessary to reinforce the banks for minimizing water outflow. It contributes to prevent dry peat and decrease in decomposition speed. Thus, it is hard to invade and settle of terrestrial plants and then secondary succession would be delayed.

내장산국립공원에 위치한 입암습지의 식생 조사 및 경관 분석을 통해 습지의 상태를 평가하고, 관리방안을 제시하기 위해 본 연구를 실시하였다. 야외 조사 및 1976년도와 2010년도 항공사진을 이용하여 경관 분석을 실시한 결과, 과거에 논이었던 곳은 현재 습지를 대표하는 버드나무군락(21.6%), 고마리군락(2.8%), 갈대군락(1.1%), 진퍼리새군락(4.9%), 진퍼리새-고마리군락(0.5%) 등의 습지식생이 차지하고 있었고, 밭이었던 곳은 현재 찔레꽃군락(6.8%), 환삼덩굴-찔레꽃군락(42.0%), 환삼덩굴군락(10.6%)이 대부분의 면적을 차지하고 있었다. 전체의 30.9% 분포비율을 나타내는 입암습지의 지속적 관리를 위해서는 수리 수문학적 조사를 통해 습지로 물이 지속적으로 공급될 수 있도록 물길을 유도하고 제6수중보를 활용하여 유량을 확보한 후 갈수기에 공급하도록 한다. 또한 과거에 설치한 둑을 보강하여 수분 유출 최소화, 이탄 건조 방지 및 분해속도를 저감시켜 육상식물의 침입 및 정착을 제한하여 자연적 천이의 속도를 지연시킬 수 있도록 해야 한다.
