Abstract

The purpose of this study is to secure objective and precise data through ecosystem monitoring, to reveal ecological characteristics through comparison and analysis with past survey data, and to accumulate basic data for diagnosing the current situation and predicting changes in the ecosystem. The target site is the 'Quercus mongolica forest on the Buksa-myeon of Namsan', which was designated as an Ecological Landscape Conservation Area (ELCA) of Seoul in July 2006. The research contents are analysis of soil environment change (1986~2016), change of actual vegetation (1978~2016), and change of plant community structure (1994~2016). A total of 8 fixed surveys (400~1,200m2) were established in 1994 and 2000. Analysis items are importance value, species and population, and Shannon's species diversity. The soil environment of Namsan is acidic (pH 4.40 in 2016), which is expected to have a negative impact on tree growth and vegetation structure due to its low capacity for exchangeable cations. Quercus mongolica forest in Namsan is mainly distributed on the northern slopes. The actual vegetation area changed from 49.4% in 1978 → 80.7% in 1986 → 82.4% in 2000 → 88.3% in 2005 → 88.3% in 2009 → 70.3% in 2016. In 2016, the forest decreased by 18% compared to 2009. While there was increased growth of Quercus mongolica in the tree layer from 2009 to 2016, the overall decline in vegetation area was due to logging and fumigation management following the spread of oak wilt in 2012. As for the changes in the plant community structure, Quercus mongolica of the tree layer was damaged by oak wilt, and the potential vegetation that can form the next generation was ambiguous. In the subtree layer, the force of urbanization tree species such as Styrax japonicus, Sorbus alnifolia, and Acer palmatum. was maintained or increased. In the shrub layer, the number of trees and species increased significantly due to the open tree crown, and accordingly, the species diversity of Shannon for woody plants also increased. In Quercus mongolica forest of Namsan, various ecological changes are occurring due to the effects of urban environments such as air pollution and acid rain, the limitation of Quercus mongolica pure forest due to oak wilt, and the introduction of exotic species, thus, it is necessary to establish a management plan through continuous monitoring.

본 연구의 목적은 서울시 남산 신갈나무림을 대상으로 과거 조사자료와의 비교·분석을 통해 생태적 특성을 밝히고, 현황 진단 및 생태계 변화 예측을 위한 기초자료를 축적하는데 있다. 연구대상지는 2006년 7월 서울시 생태·경관보전지역으로 지정된 '남산 북사면 신갈나무림'이다. 연구내용은 토양환경 변화(1986~2016) 분석, 현존식생 변화(1978~2016) 분석, 식물군집구조 변화(1994~2016) 분석이다. 식물군집구조 고정조사구는 1994년과 2000년에 설정한 총 8개 고정조사구(400~1,200m2)를 대상으로 하였으며, 분석항목은 상대우점치, 종수 및 개체수, Shannon의 종다양도이다. 남산 토양환경은 산성 토양(pH 4.40)으로 치환성양이온 용량이 낮아 수목 생육에 부정적 영향을 미칠 것으로 예측되었다. 남산의 신갈나무림은 주로 북사면 일대에 분포하며, 현존식생 면적은 49.4%(1978년) → 80.7%(1986년) → 82.4%(2000년) → 88.3%(2005년) → 70.3%(2016년)로 변화하였으며, 2016년에는 2005년과 비교해 세력이 18% 감소하였다. 이러한 변화는 교목층 신갈나무의 생장에 의해 세력이 증가하였다가 2012년 참나무시들음병 확산에 따른 벌채 및 훈증 관리로 그 세력이 크게 감소되었기 때문이다. 식물군집구조 변화 내용은 대부분 참나무시들음병으로 교목층 신갈나무가 훼손되었고, 차대를 형성할 수 있는 잠재식생이 나타나고 있지 않았다. 아교목층은 도시환경 적응 수종인 때죽나무, 팥배나무 등의 세력이 유지 또는 증가하였다. 관목층은 개방된 상층 수관에 의해 종수 및 개체수가 크게 증가하여 군집별 Shannon의 종다양도도 증가하였다. 남산 신갈나무림은 대기오염 및 산성비 등 도시환경의 영향, 참나무시들음병에 의한 신갈나무 단순림의 한계, 외래종의 유입 등 다양한 생태계 변화가 나타나고 있어 지속적인 모니터링을 통한 관리방안 수립이 필요하다.
