Abstract

Riverine wetlands are an important element of the river ecosystem and account for approximately 38% of the inland wetlands surveyed so far. The Shincheon Wetland located in Mangyeong River is also a channel wetland as the flow rate is slowed by the constructed weirs, leading to sediment accumulation. To identify the conservation value and ecological characteristics of Shincheon Wetland, its vegetation and plant diversity were identified using a phytosociological method, and a total of 45 vegetation-related datasets were collected. Overall, 24 plant communities, comprising a total of 153 taxa (49 families, 117 genera, 146 species, 2 subspecies, 5 varieties) were identified. The plant with the highest appearance rate in the communities was Humulus japonicus Siebold & Zucc. In addition, annual herb species, including Rumex crispus L., Bromusjaponicus Thunb., Erigeron annuus (L.) Pers., and Artemisia indica Willd. were frequently observed to be growing in the secondary grassland. Naturalized plants were surveyed in the 38 taxa; the urbanization index was 10.3% and the naturalized index was 24.8%. Plant communities were largely classified into submerged vegetation, floating and floating-leaved vegetation, annual and biennial vegetation, perennial herb vegetation, and woody vegetation. The distribution of plant communities reflecting various habitats, including the lentic and lotic zone maintaining a constant water depth, littoral zone experiencing intermittent water level fluctuations, and dry floodplain environment was also confirmed. Overall, plant community development plays an important role in the habitat for wild animals; therefore, it is expected to positively impact biodiversity enhancement.

하도습지는 하천 생태계의 중요한 요소로 지금까지 조사된 내륙습지 목록의 약 38%를 차지하고 있다. 만경강에 위치한 신천습지 또한 보 축조로 유속이 느려지고 퇴적물이 쌓이면서 형성된 하도습지이다. 신천습지의 보전 가치와 생태적 특성을 규명하고자 식물사회학적 방법을 활용하여 식생 및 식물 다양성을 파악하였으며, 총 45개의 식생자료가 수집되었다. 총 153분류군(49과 117속 146종 2아종 5변종)으로 구성된 24개 식물군락이 구분되었다. 종조성적으로 군락별 출현율이 가장 높은 식물은 환삼덩굴로 확인되었다. 그리고 소리쟁이, 참새귀리, 개망초, 쑥 등과 같이 이차초지에서 생육하는 일년생 초본 식물종이 빈번하게 관찰되었다. 귀화식물은 38분류군이 조사되었고 도시화지수는 10.3%, 귀화율은 24.8%로 분석되었다. 식물군락은 크게 침수식생, 부엽 및 부유식생, 일이년초본식생, 다년생초본식생, 목본식생으로 분류되었다. 일정 수심을 유지하며 유속이 느린 유수역과 정수역, 간헐적 수위변동을 경험하는 연안대, 건조한 고수부지 환경 등 다양한 서식공간을 반영하는 식물군락의 분포가 확인되었다. 이와 같은 식물군락 발달은 야생생물에게도 서식처로서 중요한 역할을 하므로 생물다양성 증진에도 긍정적인 영향을 끼칠 것으로 판단된다.
