강원도 인제군에 위치한 방태천의 하중주에 성립된 식생과 하상물질을 지도화한 후 양자를 비교하여 식생의 성립 배경을 밝혔다. 전체적인 식피율은 하중주의 내부에서 높고 가장자리에서 낮은 경향이었다. 선단부(상류 방향)와 후미(하류 방향)를 비교하면, 전자보다 후자에서 식피율이 높은 경향이었다. 교목은 유수에 의한 교란의 영향이 적은 하중주의 후미에 제한적으로 분포하였고, 아교목 역시 교란의 영향이 적은 하중주의 중앙 이하에 분포하였다. 관목은 하중주의 종단면에 따른 차이는 적었지만 횡단상으로는 차이를 보여 부수로가 흐르는 하중주의 우측(좌안)보다 주수로가 흐르는 좌측(우안)에 주로 분포하였다. 초본류의 경우는 하중주의 위치에 따른 차이 없이 전체적으로 고르게 분포하였다. 수고분포는 하류부근에서 높이가 높고 상류로 갈수록 낮아지는 경향이었다. 이러한 식생과 하상물질의 분포로 보아 하중주는 상류방향으로 새로 형성되는 것으로 평가되었다. 하중주에서 수집된 식생자료에 기초하여 식분을 서열화한 결과, 식분의 배열은 I축 상의 오른쪽에서 왼쪽으로 이동함에 따라 1년생 초본식생, 다년생초본, 관목 그리고 교목의 순서로 나타나 식생의 발달단계에 따라 분포하는 경향이었다. 식물군락 별 종 순위-우점도 곡선에서 종 풍부도는 소나무 군락, 달뿌리풀군락, 갯버들군락, 물푸레나무군락, 1년생 식물 우점군락 및 귀룽나무군락 순으로 높게 나타났다. 이상의 결과에서 보여지듯이 방태천은 하천의 상류에 해당하여 저질의 입자가 컸다. 따라서 그들은 굴러서 이동하므로 하중주는 주로 상류 방향으로 새로 형성되었다. 하중주의 후미에서 선단부를 향해 교목림지, 관목림지 및 초지의 순서로 배열된 식생의 공간배열이 하중주의 형성과정을 반영하였다. 그러나 하중주는 역동적인 공간으로서 유수에 의한 교란은 물론 부유사에 의한 교란도 빈번하게 받고 있다. 그러한 교란이 서식처 다양성을 이끌어내고, 궁극적으로 높은 생물다양성을 가져왔다.

As social environment of Korea was changing, the cremation is increased instead of traditional funeral culture. Therefore woodland burial appears new funeral culture in Korea. This research had been executed to find out the problem of soil and vegetation environments of woodland burial forest. The case study was worked at woodland burial in Incheon Family funeral services which was national pilot project. The problem of soil and vegetation environments were surveyed in slope, soil compaction, actual vegetation, vegetation communities, structure of forest communities and so on. The results from this study indicate that woodland burial construction didn't consider the damage and management of vegetation environment in Incheon Family funeral Services. Problems for the Law on funeral facilities of Korea is a lack of natural friendly standards for slope, management on structure of forest communities, facilities for users in it. It had steep topography, soil compaction, reduction of species diversity and poor plant growth on woodland burial in Incheon Family funeral Services. Therefore the users of it increase in the future, vegetation environment of woodland burial will be devastated. And so we need to improve standards of woodland burial construction and management to settle down burial culture of woodland burial in Korea.

등산객에 의한 많은 간섭을 받아온 설악산 대청봉의 아고산생태계에서 훼손된 식생의 복원에 필요한 기초자료를 제공하기 위하여 인간에 의한 답압에 따른 입지인자와 식생의 변화를 파악하였다. 본 조사지역에서 인간에 의한 간섭은 경사도 10° 미만의 완만한 남사면 지역에서 두드러졌다. 인간의 간섭은 식생의 키. 식피율 및 종다양성을 감소시켰고, 식생의 종조성의 변화를 통하여 식생구조의 변화를 유발하였다. 또한 인간의 간섭은 파괴된 식생으로 인한 낙엽생산이 감소하고, 고산지대 특유의 바람에 의한 낙엽의 이동으로 인하여 낙엽층과 유기물층의 발달이 저해되었다. 이는 토양수분함량을 감소시키고, 토양침식작용이 활발해져 토심이 얕아지고 표토층이 유실되면서 자갈이 지표면에 노출된 입지환경으로 변화시켰다.

The structure and dynamics of Korean red pine stands established in the riparian zone were studied in the Tsang stream in Mt. Seorak National Park, in east-central Korea. Pine stands were classified into four successional stages, the initial, establishing, competitive, and stabilizing stages, based on the age distribution of a dominant tree, Pinus densiflora, the vegetation stratification, and the microtopography of the riverine environment. The stages usually corresponded to disturbance frequencies, depending on the horizontal and vertical distances from the watercourse. Stands of the initial and establishing stages lacked tree or subtree layers, or both. As stands progressed through the developmental stages, soil particle size became finer and moisture retention capacity was improved. The stand ordination reflected the developmental stage, and the species ordination differentiated species specializing in relatively dry and wet habitats. The results of the analysis of vegetation dynamics provided ecological information which will be useful for understanding the developmental processes of vegetation established in riparian zones. Species diversity indices usually increased across developmental stages, following the typical pattern for successional processes. We discuss the importance and necessity of riparian vegetation in Korea, where most riparian forests have disappeared due to excessive human land use.

The present study was undertaken in middle altitudinal (1500 to 2500 masl) moist temperate forest of Mandal-Chopta area in the Garhwal region of Uttarakhand, India. The aim of the present study was to assess the variation in species composition and diversity in different vegetation layers viz. herb, shrub and tree, at different altitudes. Shannon-Wiener diversity index ($\bar{H}$), $Nha^{-1}$, total basal cover per hectare (G), Simpson concentration of dominance, Pielou Equitability, species richness (SR), Margalef index, Menheink index of species richness and ${\beta}$-diversity were calculated to understand community composition. Tree G ranged from 84.25 to 35.08 $m^2ha^{-1}$ and total stem density varied from 990 to 1470 Nha-1. Total SR (herb, shrub and trees) among different forest types ranged between 31 and 58. Maximum G of herb and shrub layers was recorded at lower altitudes between 1500 and 1650 masl. ${\beta}$-diversity was higher in herb layers as compared to tree and shrub layers. Dominance-diversity curves were also drawn to ascertain resource apportionment among various species in different forest types. Values of species diversity, $\bar{H}$, $Nha^{-1}$ and G were higher in the study area as compared to similar forests growing in other parts of Uttarakhand Himalaya.

This study explained vertical distributions and growth environments for woody vegetation. It had been degenerated by long-term volcanic activity of Sakurajima; vegetation and thicknesses of tephra layers and forest soils were investigated at 5 sites (250-700 m in altitude) with different altitudes localized at the northwestern-northern flanks of Sakurajima in Kagoshima Prefecture. The results in 2015 were compared with the vertical distribution of woody vegetation in 1963, when the volcanic activity of Sakurajima was relatively moderate. Thus, we investigated temporal changes in the vertical distribution of woody vegetation owing to volcanic activity over about 50 years (1963-2015). We indicated altitude decreased, the number of woody vegetation, number of species, sum of cross-sectional area of tree diameter at breast height, Fisher-Williams's diversity index ${\alpha}$, and forest soil thickness increased. However, these values were found to be degenerated when compared to climax forest values, and succession was incomplete. It seems that because the woody vegetation of the flank was affected by volcanic activity for a long time, exposing them to severe growth environments, areas with lower altitudes became distant from the craters of Sakurajima, thereby weakening the effect of volcanic activity in these areas at lower altitudes. a at the same altitudes over about 50 years (1963-2015) decreased by about 31-72%, and the sum of the cross-sectional area in tree diameter at breast heights decreased by about 14-62%. Thus, comparative growth environments for woody vegetation in 2015 were more severe than that of 1963, with respect to tephra layer thickness. In addition, for vegetation succession in the flank of Sakurajima, vegetation restoration should be promoted through the introduction of artificial woody plants covered by symbiotic microorganisms or organic materials.

Today, a trend that tries to return the artificial space of a river to a natural one is expanding. But in Korea, which lies in the monsoon climate zone, rivers endure flood damage every year. Moreover, climatic change from global warming causes severe variations in precipitation patterns. Until recently, river restoration practices in Korea have followed partial restoration. These restorative treatments transformed artificial structures of the stream to natural ones and introduced natural vegetation by imitating natural or semi-natural streams. Treatment transformed the riparian structure and increased the diversity of micro-topography and vegetation. Furthermore, restoration recovered species composition, increased species diversity, and inhibited the establishment of exotic species. In particular, the Suip stream, which was left to its natural process for approximately 50 years, recovered its natural features almost completely through passive restoration. An urban stream, the Yangjae, and a rural stream, the Dongmoon, were restored partially by applying ecological principles. On the contrary, technological treatment applied to recover flood damage induced species composition far from the natural vegetation and decreased species diversity. Additionally, this treatment increased exotic species. The same results were found also in benthic invertebrate and fish fauna. The above-mentioned results reflect the importance of ecological considerations in river management.

The early vegetational recovery and species diversity were investigaed in burned pine forest of Mt. Todoksn from 1986 to 1990. The changes of vegetation in the burned site occurred Miscanthus→Miscanthus-Lespedeza→Lespedeza community. The biological spectra based on SD(%) and SP(%) of the burned site were similar to the unburned site with H---e type. The degree of succession(DS) was gradually increased with succession in burned site. The species diversity index(H') and evenness index(e) were declining successional trend, nut dominance index(C) inclining successional trend in the burned site. The domiance-diversity curves of the burned site showed gradual decrease in diversity and evenness, and then slopes of them were progressively steep in early successional stage.
