We conducted the study on the relationship between the distribution of coastal sand dune plants and edaphic factors from the shoreline to inland in sand dune ecosystem. The application of TWINSPAN classification based on 10 species, led to the recognition of three vegetative groups (A-C), which associated with their habitats (foredune, hummuck in semistable zone and stable zone). The associations were separated along soil gradient far from the seashore. The relationships between species composition and environmental gradients were explained by canonical correspondence analysis (CCA). Distance from the shoreline was an important indicator to determine soil properties (pH, total ion contents, sand particle sizes, organic matters and nitrogen contents) from the seaward area to inland area and distribution pattern of coastal sand dune plants. Group A is foredune zone, characterized by Calystegia soldanella; group included typical foredune species such as Elymus mollis, Carex kobomugi, Ixeris repens, C. soldanella and Glehnia littoralis. Group B on semi-stabilized zone was characterized by Vitex rotundifolia, a perennial woody shrub. This group was associated the proportion of fine sand size (100 to 250 μm). The results on the proportion of soil particle size showed a transition in sand composition, particularly with respect to the proportion of fine sand size that occurred from the foredune ridge at 32.5 m to the Vitex rotundifolia community at 57.5 m from the shoreline. Group C on stabilized zone was characterized by Zoysia macrostachya, Lathyrus japonicus and Cynodon dactylon and were associated soil organic matter and nitrogen contents. The spatial distribution of plants in the Goraebul coastal sand dune system may result from the interactions between the plant species and environmental heterogeneity.

신두리 사구지대에서 30여년 동안의 항공사친을 분석하여 지표피복상태의 변화와 전사구열과 미피복사구를 중심으로 사구지형의 변화패턴을 분석하였다. 연구결과 삼림사구의 면적은 지속적으로 증가한 반면 미 피복사구의 면적은 감소하였다. 또한 전사구열의 위치는 북부에서 방조제 축조 이후에 전진하였으나 사구지대 중앙부에서는 약 80m 후퇴하였다. 2차 사구 지대의 미피복사구는 면적 감소와 함께 전면부가 침식되어 육지쪽으로 이동하는 패턴을 나타냈다. 이러한 지표피복변화와 지형변화는 신두리 사구지대가 조림사업이나 해안개발과 같은 인위적인 행위에 의해 영향을 받는 것과 동시에 신두리 사구지대로 유입하는 모래양이 점차 감소하면서 식생에 의해 미피복사구가 정착되는 과정에 있음을 의미한다.

한국 대부분의 해안사구 지역은 방사림이 조성되어 있으며, 방사림을 보전해야한다는 의견이 많다. 그렇지만 해안사구가 지닌 해안생태계 영양 순환의 역할이나 다양한 생물의 서식처 역할의 측면에서 방사림에 의한 식생피복 단순화에 대해 재고할 필요가 있다. 방사림이 조성되어 있는 서해안 병술안 해안사구지대의 퇴적물을 대상으로, 바다로부터의 이격 정도, 식생피복, 그리고 사구 미지형의 측면으로 나누어 물리 화학적 살펴보았다. 배아사구와 전사구 간 퇴적물의 물리 화학적 특성은 큰 차이를 보였지만 전사구와 2차사구 간 특성의 차이는 크지 않았다. 곰솔림과 혼합림으로 나누어 비교했을 때 물리 화학적 특성이 서로 극명하게 다르지 않았다. 마지막으로 사구열과 사구저지를 비교하였을 때에도 지화학적 다양성은 뚜렷하지 않았다. 외형적으로 확인되는 공간적 다양성에도 불구하고 퇴적물의 지화학적 다양성이 연계되어 나타나지 않는 것은 전사구까지 조밀하게 조림된 방사림의 영향으로 판단된다. 따라서 해안사구의 본연의 특성을 회복하기 위해서는 방사림의 일부를 지형적 생태적으로 역동적이며 다양하도록 조성해 나가는 방안을 고려할 필요가 있다.

The characteristics and burial ages of sand sediments on the Jiduri coast in Daechung-myeon, Ongjin-gun, Incheon were investigated. Daecheong Island is the area where the characteristics of the rocky coast and sand coast are shown. Various studies have been conducted on the Okjukdong sand dune that appears in the north of the island. However, there has been no study on the sandy sedimentary topography of the Jiduri and Moraewul area in the south. The sandy sedimentary terrain of Jiduri is divided into sandy beaches, sand dunes and sand deposits along the slope including climbing dune. Overall, the depth of sandy sediments in Jiduri is not deep. The characteristics of sandy sediments and burial ages were investigated at an elevation of about 23 m above sea level at the back of Jiduli Beach and 46 m above sea level at the ridge line between Jiduri and Moraewol. From the Jiduri coast to the hillside behind, the average grain size decreases and the sorting becomes better as it moves from the intertidal zone to the beach and the foredune. This indicates the selective sand transport by the wind and can be judged by the terrain formed under the current sedimentation environment. The average grain size at the upper part of the section of JD-1 (elevation of about 23m MSL) was $1.6918{\varphi}$ of medium sand. The sorting was $0.4584{\varphi}$, skewness was -1.0491 and kurtosis was -1.2411, respectively. Particularly, the average particle size of the crosssection issomewhat uniform, but the color of the constituent material changes from brown to black. In the case of JD-2 (about 46 m MSL), the mean grain size of the section was $1.7943{\varphi}$, the sorting was 0.4931, the skewness was -1.1163, and the kurtosis was 1.2133. On the other hand, the brown and black layers of JD-1 exhibited a burial age of $0.1{\pm}0.0ka$ and the JD-2 had a burial age of $0.7{\pm}0.0ka$.
