Studies of Species Composition and Standing Crop and Soil Nutrients in Conifer of Kwangnung Forests

광릉의 송백림에 있어서 종다양성, 현존량 및 토양양분에 관한 연구

The study of standing crop of the ground vegetation under the coniferous stands was pursuited in regard of soil nutrients at Kwangnung plantation from May to Octoher, 1971 and 1991. The coniferous stands implied pine and larch associations of which the young stands of each as-sociation were 9~12 years and the older one 40~70 years. The larch stands were more plentiful in species than in the pine stands and the Festuca ovina and Oplismenus burmannii each were dominant species of pine and larch stands. The standing crop of pine stands is from 98.02g /$m^2$ to 385.32g /$m^2$ The standing crops of those stands showed great increase from June to August when the air temperature and rainfall were fairly high. The standing crop has correlation to total nitrogen and organic matter in the soil.
