Abstract

This study was carried out to elucidate floristic data of Chirisan National Park by performing practical field investigation for 1 year and literatures survey simultaneously in 2004. The data from field study were yielded based on voucher specimens. Total number and components of flora of Chirisan National Park is revealed as 1,825 taxa. Among 1,825 taxa, 708 taxa were identified in this field study, and these were comprised 37 orders, 109 families, 382 genera, 590 species 3 subspecies 95 varities 20 forms. Unconfirmed taxa in field but recorded previous literatures were 1,117 taxa, which consist of 41 orders 130 families 500 genera 901 species 9 subspecies 140 varities 67 forms. In conclusion, there may be provisionally 1,825 (708+1,117) taxa in Chirisan National Park. The 43 taxa were firstly found out in this field study. In the floristic data from field study, the number of Korean endemic plants were 31 taxa, the rare and endangered plants which was designated by Korea Forest Service were 21 taxa, the taxa that is more than the third degree among the floristic regional indicator plants which was designated by Korean Ministry of Environment were 40 taxa, and naturalized alien plants to Korea were 27 taxa respectively. Among 1,117 taxa which were not found in this study but recorded in 22 previous literatures, the number of Korean endemic plants were 45 taxa, the rare and endangered plants which was designated by Korea Forest Service were 45 taxa, the taxa that is more than the third degree among the floristic regional indicator plants which was designated by Ministry of Environment were 121 taxa, and naturalized alien plants to Korea were 31 taxa. It can be inferred that the vegetation of Chirisan National Park was changing by some factors and valuable plant resources were tend to diminishing by such as human interference and developments.

본 연구는 지리산 국립공원 지역에 대한 종합적인 식물상 연구로서 기존에 보고된 문헌들에 대한 고찰과 1년간의 실제적인 조사에 의해서 얻어진 표본자료를 근거로 하여 식물목록을 작성하였다. 실제 조사에서 밝혀진 지리산 국립공원지역의 관속식물 수는 실제 조사에서 확인된 분류군은 37목, 109과, 382속의 708분류군의 590종, 3아종, 95변종 및 20품종으로 이루어져 있었고, 22개의 문헌에만 나타나고 조사에서 확인되지 않은, 1,117분류군은 41목 130과 500속에 해당하는 901종 9아종 140변종 67품종 등으로 구성되어 있었다. 결론적으로 문헌 조사와 실제 야외 조사에서 밝혀진 지리산 소산식물의 총수는 1,825(708+1,117) 분류군으로 밝혀졌다. 이를 목록으로 제시하였다. 이 중에서 기존의 조사에서는 발견되지 않았으나 본 조사에서 최초로 밝혀진 분류군은 43분류군이었다. 실제 조사에서 확인된 식물들 중에서 한국특산 식물 31분류군, 산림청 지정 희귀 및 멸종위기식물 21분류군, 환경부 지정 식물구계학적 특정 식물종 중에서 3등급 이상에 해당하는 40분류군 등이 생육하고 있었으며, 27분류군의 한국 귀화식물이 밝혀졌다. 확인되지 않고 문헌조사에만 나타난 분류군 중에서 한국특산식물 45분류군, 산림청 지정 희귀 및 멸종위기식물 45분류군, 환경부 지정 식물구계학적 특정식물종 중에서 3등급 이상에 해당하는 121분류군 등이 생육하고 있으며 31분류군의 한국 귀화식물이 밝혀졌다. 이로 미루어 볼 때 지리산의 식생은 여러 가지 요인에 의해 서서히 변화되어 가고 있으며, 많은 중요한 식물 자원들이 사라져 가는 추세라고 판단되므로 이에 대한 대책 수립이 요구되어 진다.
