Abstract

This study was carried for the purpose of using basic data for vegetation management plans by analyzing the current status of herbaceous community and Salix spp. community at Janghang Wetland in Han-river estuary. In order to investigate the vegetation status, the 50 plots were investigated and analyzed using the quadrat and Braun-Branquet method. In the herbaceous community, were found a total of 31 taxa of 11 families, 24 genera, 28 species, and 3 variants. A total of 42 taxa of 16 families, 33 genera, 39 species and 3 variants were appeared in the Salix subfragilis community, and a total of 46 taxa with classification of 19 families, 37 genera, 43 species, and 3 varieties were founded in the Salix koreensis community. As for the analysis of life-form and dominance, the hydatophytes was relatively high in the Salix subfragilis community, the hemicryptothytes was high in herbaceous community and therophytes was high in Salix koreensis community. As a result of correlation analysis of electrical conductivity(EC) and exchangeable sodium(Na+) in the soil, hydatophytes and hemicryptothytes showed a negative correlation, and therophytes showed a positive correlation. Therefore, it was analyzed that Salix koreensis and therophytes have a high rate of appearance in relatively dry and salty soil. Salix subfragilis, hydatophytes, and hemicryptothytes have a high rate of appearance in low salt concentrations and wet areas.

본 연구는 한강 하구 장항습지 초본 군락과 버드나무속 군락의 식생분포 특성을 조사하여 식생 관리를 위한 기초자료로 활용하기 위해 수행되었다. 식생 분포 특성을 파악하기 위해 방형구법과 브라운브랑케 방법으로 총 50개소 조사구를 조사·분석하였다. 조사결과 초본군집의 식물상은 11과 24속 28종 3변종 총 31분류군이 조사되었다. 선버들 군락의 식물상은 16과 33속 39종 3변종으로 총 42분류군, 버드나무 군락의 식물상은 19과 37속 43종 3변종으로 총 46분류군이 조사되었다. 생활형 및 우점도 분석 결과 선버들 군락에서는 수생식물의 출현비율과 우점도가 높고, 초본 군락에서는 반지중식물, 버드나무 군락에서는 일년생식물의 비율이 높게 나타났다. 토양내 전기전도도(EC)와 치환성나트륨(Na+) 분석결과, 버드나무 군락의 토양은 상대적으로 높은 염분함량을 나타냈고, 선버들 군락과 초본 군락의 토양은 낮은 함량으로 확인되었다. 생활형과 토양 염분의 상관관계 분석 결과, 수생식물과 반지중식물은 음의 상관관계, 일년생식물은 양의 상관관계를 나타냈다. 따라서 상대적으로 건조하고 염분 함량이 높은 환경에서는 버드나무와 일년생식물의 출현비율이 높고, 염분농도가 낮고 습윤한 지역에서는 선버들과 수생식물, 반지중식물의 출현비율이 높은 것으로 분석되었다.
