Abstract
This study was carried out to examine the process of plant succession through vegetation invasion and to select appropriate endemic plant species for rapid stabilization and good visual effect on cut-slopes of forest roads. Establishing total of sixty $1m{\times}1m$ sample plots. fifteen for each forest road constructed in the year of '93 (six-year-old), '95(four-year-old), '97(two-year-old), and '98(one-year-old), the ecological attributes of invading vegetation on cut-slopes were analyzed. The results are summarized as follows: 1. The rate of vegetation coverage was highly associated with soil hardness and aspect of cut-slope. Higher rate of vegetation coverage was caused by larger number of invading plant species. 2. The dominant woody species were Rubus crataegifolius, Rhus chinensis, Lespedeza bicolor, Salix hulteni, Alnus hirsuta, and Pinus densiflora. The visual attractive for the fruit of Rubus crataegifolius and the autumn coloration of Rhus chinensis was noteworthy. The dominant herbaceous species were Youngia sonchifolia, Spodiopogon sibiricus, and Lysimachia clethroides in all study forest roads. Spring flower of Potentilla freyniana and Viola rossii: summer flower of Lysimachia clethroides, Commelina communis, Glycine soja. Persicaria sieboldi, and Oenothera odorata: and autumn flower of Artemisia stolonifera and Impatiens textori were abundant and remarkable. 3. The diversity index of woody species tended to be increased as years passed after construction, and that of herbaceous species were decreased. 4. The dominance of Th of dormancy form was early high in the first year of construction, getting decreased thereafter. And that of MM + M + N was increased as years passed after construction. but that of Ch+H+G+Th+HH was decreased. 5. The degrees of succession were estimated by 359, 111, 97, and 87 for the construction year of '93, '95, '97, and '98. respectively, increased as years passed after construction.
임도 절토사면에서의 자연식생의 침입과정과 천이과정을 구명하고, 침입속도가 빠르며 경관상으로 우수한 향토 식물종을 선발하기 위하여 '93, '95, '97, '98년도에 개설된 임도에 각각 15개, 총 60개의 $1m{\times}1m$ 표본구를 설치하고 침입식생의 생태적 특성을 분석한 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 1. 절토사면의 식생 피복률은 입지인자 중 토양경도, 사면경사도와 고도의 상관을 나타냈고, 피복률이 높을수록 침입식물의 종수는 많은 것으로 나타났다. 2. 절토사면에서 목본류는 산딸기, 붉나무, 싸리, 호랑버들, 물오리나무, 소나무가 주요 우점수종으로 나타났고, 그중 산딸기는 열매로, 붉나무는 단풍으로 경관적 가치가 높았으며, 초본류는 고들빼기, 큰기름새, 큰까치수영이 모든 개설연도에서 우점도가 높았다. 고들빼기는 우점도가 높았을 뿐만 아니라 개화시기도 길었고 (5~10 월), 봄에는 세잎양지꽃, 고깔제비꽃, 여름에는 큰까치수영, 닭의 장풀, 돌콩, 미꾸리낚시, 달맞이꽃, 가을에는 넓은잎외잎쑥, 물봉선이 개화하면서 우점하였다. 3. 임도 개설 후, 시간이 지남에 따라 목본류의 종다양성지수는 증가하였고, 초본류는 감소하는 경향을 보였다. 4. 휴면형에 속하는 Th 생활형의 우점도는 임도 개설 초기에 높게 나타났으나, 그후 낮아지는 경향이 있었다. MM+M+N은 개설시간이 지남에 따라 증가하였고. Ch+H+G+Th+HH는 감소하였다. 5. 천이도는 '93, '95, '97, '98년도에 개설한 임도가 각각 359, 111, 97, 87로 임도 개설 연수가 지남에 따라 증가하였다.
