Abstract

This study carried out the plant sociological survey of Abies nephrolepis forest in Mt. Seorak, which is in danger of deterioration due to the accelerated climate change. We examined seventy quadrats obtained from the survey and used the TWINSPAN technique to classify communities. We then performed the DCA method for the sequence analysis and analyzed the characteristics of each community. A. nephrolepis forest of Mt. Seorak is composed of four communities (A. nephrolepis-Lonicera caerulea var. edulis community, A. nephrolepis-Acer komarovii community, A. nephrolepis-Ac. pseudosieboldianum community, and A. nephrolepis-Betula costata community). Each community showed a different distribution according to location because different microenvironments are formed depending on location such as altitude and slope direction, resulting in different species composition. Each community showed differences in environmental characteristics such as altitude, rock ratio, soil characteristics, and litter layer thickness. As a result, there were significant differences between communities in the number of species and individuals, coverage, tree size, and species diversity, as well as differences in species composition. The A. nephrolepis-L. caerulea var. edulis and A. nephrolepis-Ac. komarovii communities were located in high altitude with high rock ratios and had little development of tree layer. On the other hand, the A. nephrolepis-Ac. pseudosieboldianum and A. nephrolepis-B. costata communities were relatively in low altitude with high soil ratio and had the development of tree layer with high species diversity.

본 연구에서는 최근 가속화되고 있는 기후변화로 인하여 쇠퇴가 우려되는 설악산 분비나무림을 대상으로 식물사회학적 연구를 수행하였다. 현장조사에서 획득된 70개 방형구 조사결과에 대해 TWINSPAN 기법을 이용하여 군락을 분류하고, DCA 방법으로 서열을 분석한 후 각 군락이 갖는 특성을 분석하였다. 설악산 분비나무림은 4개 군락(분비나무-댕댕이나무군락, 분비나무-시닥나무군락, 분비나무-당단풍나무군락, 분비나무-거제수나무군락)으로 구분되었다. 각 군락은 입지에 따라 분포 유형을 달리하였으며, 이는 해발고도, 사면 등 입지환경에 따라 서로 다른 미소환경이 형성됨으로써 종조성이 달리지기 때문이다. 각 군락은 분포 고도, 암석비율, 토양특성, 낙엽층 두께 등의 환경에서 차이를 보였으며, 그 결과로 종구성의 차이뿐만 아니라 출현종수 및 개체수, 식피율, 수목규격, 종다양도 등에서 군락 간 유의미한 차이를 보였다. 분비나무-댕댕이나무군락과 분비나무-시닥나무군락은 높은 고도의 암석비율이 높은 곳에 입지하며 교목층 발달이 미약하였다. 반면, 분비나무-당단풍나무군락과 분비나무-거제수나무군락은 분포 고도가 상대적으로 낮고 토양비율이 높았으며, 교목층이 발달하고 종다양도가 높게 나타났다.
