Comparisons of Flora and Vegetation Distribution in Main and Abandoned Channels

본류와 폐천의 식물상과 식생분포의 비교

  • Published : 2009.04.30

Abstract

We investigated characteristics of channel morphology, flora and vegetation distribution at the main and the abandoned channels of the Hwangguji Stream and the Cheongmi Stream. The analysis of aerial photographs and old topographical maps showed that the abandoned channels were made by cut-off from the main channel due to the construction of artificial levee. The total number of species and percentage of exotic plants at the main channels were higher than those at the abandoned channels. At the abandoned channel, the percentage of species number of hydrophytes and hygrophytes was higher than those at the main channels in the both stream. The results of principal component analysis (PCA) showed that the floral structure between at the main and the abandoned channel was more similar in the Hwangguji Stream than that in the Cheongmi Stream. The relative distribution areas of hydrophytes and hygrophytes at two abandoned channels were much higher than those at the main channels in the both stream. The dominant plant was an emergent macrophyte, Zizania latifolia at two abandoned channels. Therefore, flora and vegetation at the abandoned channel showed more hydric and lentic characteristics and provided diversity on the landscape level.

황구지천과 청미천의 본류와 폐천에서 하도형태, 식물상 및 식생분포 특성을 분석하였다. 항공사진과 옛 지형도를 분석한 결과, 폐천은 제방축조에 의해 사행하도가 단절되어 형성된 것으로 나타났다. 전체 식물종수와 귀화식물 백분율은 본류가 폐천에 비해 높았다. 두 폐천에서 수생, 습생식물 종수의 백분율은 각각의 본류에서 보다 높았다. 주성분분석결과 폐천과 본류 사이의 식물상 구조는 황구지천이 청미천에 비해 비교적 유사하게 나타났다. 두 폐천에서 수생, 습생 식물 분포 면적비율은 각각의 본류에 비해 높았다. 두 폐천에서 우점식물은 정수식물인 줄이었다. 따라서 폐천의 식물상과 식생분포는 습생, 정수 생태계의 특성을 나타내었으며 경관수준에서 다양성을 제공하였다.
