Abstract

On the basis of vegetation data by point quarter sampling method, the natural forest of Jirisan(Mt.) was classified into eight forest types by cluster analysis. They were Quercus mogolica forest type, Fraxinus mandshurica - Betula costata forest type, Mixed mesophytic forest type, Abies koreana forest type, Carpinus laxiflora forest type, Quercus serrata forest type, Pinus densiflora forest type, and Quercus variabilis forest type. Then, succession index was estimated for each forest type so as to evaluate succession process comparatively among forest types. The results showed that Carpinus laxiflora forest type had highest succession index of 219.7, followed by Mixed mesophytic forest type with little difference of the index of 218.3. Pinus densiflora forest type had lowest index. Succession indices were hardly correlated with species diversity indices of forest types. We presumed that the higher value of succession index a forest type had, the closer toward the climax forest. However, the estimated index was not supposed to be absolute level of successional stage, but it could play a role of comparative assessment in the position of the seral stage among forest types.

본 연구는 지리산 일대 천연림에서 점표본법인 사분법에 의해서 수집한 식생자료를 바탕으로 cluster 분석법을 이용하여 산림형을 분류하였다. 연구 대상림은 신갈나무림형, 들메나무-거제수나무림형, 중생혼합림형, 구상나무림형, 서어나무림형, 졸참나무림형, 소나무림형, 굴참나무림형 등 8개의 산림형으로 분류되었다. 분류된 8개의 산림형들의 천이 진행 정도를 비교 평가하기 위하여 각 산림형별로 천이지수를 산출하였다. 연구 결과, 서어나무림형의 천이지수가 219.7로 산출되어 가장 높았고, 미미한 차이의 천이지수 218.3이 산출된 중생혼합림이 그 뒤를 이었으며, 소나무림형의 천이지수가 가장 낮았다. 산림형들의 천이지수와 종다양성지수와의 비례적인 관계는 찾기 어려웠다. 가정적으로, 천이지수가 높은 산림형은 극상림에 보다 가까이 근접한 것으로 사료된다. 그러나 추정된 천이지수는 천이 단계를 가늠하는 절대적인 기준으로 삼을 수는 없지만, 산림형들 간에 천이 계열 상의 위치를 비교 평가할 수 있는 참고자료의 역할을 할 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.
