Abstract

This study was conducted to obtain information relevant to resolving problems related to artificially introduced plants in ecological restoration projects. We investigated artificially introduced plants and plants growing naturally from its surroundings in the active restoration sites of the Ecosystem Conservation Fund Return Project (ECFRP) of the Ministry of Environment and the Civilian Control Zone Forest Restoration Project (CCZFRP) of the Korea Forest Service. We also analyzed the characteristics of native, exotic, and cultivated plants in addition to their Raunkiaer's life forms. Furthermore, we compared the planted areas and inhabited areas, as well as the characteristics of the habitats of native plants among the planted plants. We found that among the plants planted in the ECFRP, 50.4% were native, 6.8% were exotic, and 42.9% were cultivated. Meanwhile, in the CCZFRP, 78.6% were native, 21.4% were exotic. We also noted that many native plants were found in the planted areas that were far from their habitats. In addition, we identified many native plants that were planted in areas judged to have characteristics different from that of their natural habitat. In the case of Raunkiaer's life forms, the planted plants showed high ratios of megaphanerophytes (MM) and microphanerophytes (N), while the invasive plants showed high ratios of therophytes (Th) and hemicryptophytes (H). When restoring the ecosystem, the ratio of planting native plants should be higher than that of exotic or cultivated plants. Moreover, the habitats and ecological characteristics should be considered when selecting native plants to enhance the effect of ecological restoration.

본 연구는 생태복원사업의 식재 및 유입식물의 현황을 파악하여 식재식물의 문제점을 해결하기 위한 기초자료로 활용하기 위해 수행하였다. 적극적 복원을 실시한 환경부 생태계보전협력금 반환사업지역과 산림청 민간인 통제선 이북지역 산림복원사업지역에서 식재 및 유입식물을 조사하여 자생, 외래, 재배의 특성을 분석하였다. 또한, 식재식물 중 자생식물의 식재 및 서식 지역, 서식지 특성 비교·분석, 생활형 특성을 분석하였다. 분석결과 생보협 사업의 식재식물 중 자생식물은 50.4%, 외래식물은 6.8%, 재배식물은 42.9%이었다. 민북 사업에서 식재식물 중 자생식물은 78.6%, 외래식물은 21.4%이었고, 재배식물은 없었다. 식재 지역과 서식 지역의 거리가 가깝지 않고 서식지 특성이 상이한 곳에 식재되었다고 판단되는 자생식물도 여러 종 확인되었다. 라운키에르 생활형의 경우 식재식물은 대형지상(MM)과 미소지상(N)식물의 비율이 높았고, 유입식물은 일년생(Th)과 반지중(H)식물의 비율이 높았다. 따라서 생태복원 시 외래 및 재배식물 보다 자생식물의 식재 비율을 높이고, 자생식물 선정 시 서식지와 생태적 특성을 고려하여 생태복원의 효과를 높여야 할 것이다.
