Abstract

The cactus habitat in Jeju Island has a phytogeographically specific distribution in the East Asian region, and forms a unique landscape as the only native cactus (Opuntia ficus-indica (L.) Mill.) habitat in Korea. However, there has been no detailed investigation on the distribution of cacti in the habitat and no investigation on the diversity of the mixed composition of plants in the habitats and their correlation with the distribution of cactus populations. This study attempted to investigate the diversity of vascular plants in the Wollyeong-ri cactus habitat and record the actual distribution and trends of cactus distribution. In addition to the distribution characteristics of cacti, we also discuss the characteristics of species reflecting the characteristics of the habitat among the mixed population of plant species, as well as the biological and environmental factors that threaten the maintenance of cactus populations or require management for preservation of cacti. Considering the phenological character, we conducted the field surveys for flora identification six times between June 2015 and September 2017. The Engler classification system was used for the arrangement sequence and names of plants, and the Korean Plant Names Index was adopted for the Korean name of the species. The study results showed that the Wolryung-ri cactus habitat in Jeju Island has the characteristic physiognomy of an area dominated by cactus. For the vascular plants, a total of 125 taxa were identified, including 53 families, 104 genera, 109 species, 15 varieties and 1 forma. Endangered plants specified by the Ministry of Environment were not found. Two species, Cyrtomium falcatum and Asplenium incisum, were identified as the ferns, and no gymnosperms were found. In addition, 123 taxa of angiosperms, 91 taxa of dicotyledones and 32 taxa of monocotyledons were identified. The distributions of cacti were confirmed in 289 meshes corresponding to 59.3% of the total 487 meshes in the cactus protected area, which showed various coverage distributions ranging from 5% to 95%. Most of the meshes where no cacti were found are coastal areas with exposed basalt rocks where the soil depth has not developed or extremely restricted due to repeated waves, or areas where artificial facilities, grasslands, and observation paths have been constructed. On the other hand, there were 71 lattice points in 14.5% of the total area where the cactus showed 70% or higher dominance. Cacti are randomly distributed in these areas. They have adapted to the microhabitat environment and are found to be opportunistically distributed along the growable locations. Considering that the reproduction of cacti in the habitat is mostly dependent on parthenogenesis, the present distribution seems to reflect the potentially distributable regions of cacti in the habitat. Based on the results of field surveys, a management plan for conservation and protection of the protected areas has been proposed.

제주 선인장군락지는 동아시아 지역에서 식물지리학적으로 특이적인 분포를 보이고 있으며, 국내 유일한 자생지로 특유의 고유경관을 형성하고 있다. 그럼에도 불구하고 자생지 일대의 선인장 분포 현황에 관한 정밀조사가 이루어진 바 없으며, 서식지 내 혼생식물의 다양성 및 선인장 개체군 분포와의 상호 관계에 관한 조사가 이루어진 바 없다. 본 연구는 월령리 선인장군락지 내 관속식물의 다양성을 파악하고 선인장의 분포 실태 및 출현 경향을 기록하고자 하였다. 선인장의 분포 특성과 함께 혼생 식물종 가운데 서식처의 특성을 반영하는 종의 특성과 선인장 개체군의 유지에 위협이 되거나, 선인장 보존에 있어서 관리의 대상이 되는 생물 및 환경 요소에 관하여 논의하고자 한다. 식물상 확인을 위한 현장조사는 2015년 6월부터 2017년 9월까지 식물계절을 고려하여 총 6회에 걸쳐 이루어졌다. 식물에 대한 배열순서와 학명의 기재는 Engler 분류체계에 따라 정리하였으며, 종의 한글명은 한국표준식물목록을 채택하였다. 연구결과 제주 월령리 선인장군락지는 선인장이 우점하는 지역 고유의 특징적인 상관을 형성하고 있었다. 관속식물상은 53과 104속 109종 15변종 1품종으로 총 125분류군을 확인하였다. 환경부 지정 멸종위기식물은 분포하지 않았다. 양치식물은 꼬리고사리, 도깨비쇠고비로 2종이 확인하였으며, 나자식물은 서식하지 않았다. 피자식물이 총 123분류군이 나타났으며, 쌍자엽식물이 91분류군, 단자엽식물이 32분류군으로 밝혀졌다. 선인장 보호지역 내 전체 487개 격자 중 59.3%에 해당하는 289개 격자에서 선인장 분포를 확인하였으며, 5-95%의 다양한 피도분포를 보였다. 미출현 격자의 대부분은 현무암 암반이 노출된 해안지역으로, 반복적인 파도의 영향을 받아 토심이 발달하지 못하거나 극히 제한적인 지역과 인위적 시설물 또는 초지, 관찰로 등이 조성된 지역이었다. 반면 선인장이 70% 이상 높은 우점도를 보이는 구간은 총 71개 격자 지점으로 전체의 14.5%를 차지하고 있었다. 선인장은 보호 지역 내에서 무작위분포를 나타내며, 미소서식처 환경에 적응되어 생육가능입지를 따라 기회주의적으로 분포하고 있는 것으로 확인되었다. 군락지 내 선인장은 대부분 단위생식(parthenogenesis)에 의존되어 있음을 고려할 때 현재의 분포는 군락지 내 선인장의 잠재분포가능 영역을 투영하는 결과로 판단된다. 현장조사결과를 바탕으로 보호지역 보존 및 보호를 위한 관리방안을 제안하였다.
