Abstract

The purpose of this study was to analyze annual tree ring growth characteristics for major tree species distributed in Chungbuk province. A total of 800 sample trees from 56 permanent sampling plots measured by the 5th Korean National Forest Inventory Program in 2007 was used for the calculation of annual growth rates. According to the results of this study, the species of Robinia pseudoacacia(2.30mm/yr) showed the best annual tree ring growth rates and the others are Quercus serrata(2.27mm/yr)>Prunus sargentii(1.98mm/yr)> and Larix leptolepis(1.98mm/yr) in order. Most of the major tree species in Chungbuk province, as tree age and stand density increased, annual tree ring growth rates tended to decreased. This information could be very useful for forest managers to understand annual tree ring growth characteristics in Chungbuk province.

본 연구는 2007년도 조사된 국가산림자원조사 자료를 이용하여 충북지방에 분포하는 주요 수종에 대하여 평균 연륜생장량과 연륜생장량에 영향을 미치는 인자들과의 상관관계를 분석하고자 하였다. 충북지역에서 조사된 고정표본점은 총 56개소로 다양한 수종이 분포하였으며 그 중 개체수 분포 비율이 높은 10개 수종에 대하여 총 800본의 연륜생장량이 조사된 목편 자료를 대상으로 분석하였다. 충북지방에서 평균 연륜생장량이 가장 높은 수종은 아까시나무(2.30mm/yr)로 나타났고, 그 다음으로는 졸참나무(2.27mm/yr)>산벚나무(1.98mm/yr)>일본잎갈나무(1.98mm/yr) 순으로 나타났다. 대부분 주요 수종들의 경우, 영급과 임분밀도가 증가함에 따라 평균 연륜생장량은 감소하는 경향으로 나타났다.
