Abstract

This study has analyzed the vegetation composition in the areas using different slope revetment techniques of riverbanks, in a way to improve the vegetation induction in the future considering the ecological aspects of the induction in Garaeyoul Village, Gangdong-gu, Seoul. The result of the vegetation distribution in each different slope revetment technique was analyzed, that the naturalized herb was dominant in the pole block accounting for 70.7%, while native herb was dominant in the lawn block occupying 48.5% and in the crib block occupying 55.7%. The vegetation coverage measured by different slope revetment techniques was highest in the crib block(average 97.5%), followed by the lawn block(average 95.3%) and pole block(average 27.9%). The vegetation base area was the most wide in the crib block and the most narrowest in the pole block. The result of community analysis in areas using different slope revetment techniques, dry herbs and vine herbs were dominated and the coverage was very poor in the pole block. In the lawn block, the barb was fragmented into narrow areas due to the blocks, which prevented the creation of large-scale plant communities. In the crib block, Miscanthus sacchariflorus, Fescue arundinacea and Aster pilosus, which also consisted of large-scale communities. Average dry weight was also measured by each slope revetment technique. The weight was heaviest in the crib block with $187.63g/m^2$, followed by the lawn block($137.65g/m^2$) and pole block($6.75g/m^2$). The soil moisture contents in the crib block and lawn block was 16.3% and 15.2%, respectively, while that of the pole block was 4.7%, which revealed the highly dry condition of the pole block soil. The analysis result of soil chemical property showed that there was little difference in soil texture, soile acidity(pH), and exchangeable ion content, however, the soil organic matter(OM) content and available $P_2O_5$ were highest in the pole block. In the future, in order to induce more vegetation into river banks and walls, a proper construction method should be applied so that the vegetation area can be expanded as much as possible, considering the safety of the banks.

본 연구는 강동구 가래여울마을 한강제방을 대상으로 호안공법에 따른 자연적인 식생유입 현황을 분석하여 생태적인 측면을 고려한 제방 호안 식생유도를 목적으로 수행하였다. 제방 호안공법별 식생 분포 특성을 분석한 결과 장대블록에는 귀화초본이 70.7%로 우점하였고 잔디블록에는 자생초본군락이 48.5%, 방틀블록은 자생초본군락 55.7%로 자생초 본군락 면적은 방틀블록에서 가장 넓었다. 제방 호안공법별 식생피도는 장대블록이 평균 27.9%로 가장 낮았고 잔디블록(평균 95.3%), 방틀블록(평균 97.5%)순으로 높았다. 식생기반면적에서는 장대블록이 가장 협소하였으며 방틀블록이 가장 넓었다. 식물군집구조에서 장대블록은 건조초본 및 덩굴성초본이 주로 우점하였고 식생피도도 낮았으며 잔디블록은 다양한 종이 소규모군락을 형성하였다. 방틀블록은 식생기반 면적이 가장 넓어 다년생 초본인 물억새, 큰김의털,미국쑥부쟁이 등이 넓은 면적의 군락을 형성하였다. 호안공법별 평균 건물중은 장대블록은 $6.75g/m^2$, 잔디블록은 $137.65g/m^2$, 방틀블록은 $187.63g/m^2$으로 방틀블록 식물 건물중이 가장 많았다. 토양특성에서 토양 수분함량은 방틀블록 16.3%, 잔디블록 15.2%인 반면 장대블록은 4.7%로 토양이 매우 건조하였다. 토양 이화학적 특성 분석결과 토성, 토양산도(pH), 치환성 양이온 함량은 호안공법별로 큰 차이가 없었으며 토양유기물 함량(OM)과 유효인산(Available $P_2O_5$)은 장대블록에서 가장 높은 수치를 보였다. 따라서 향후 하천제방 호안녹화의 경우 제방의 안전을 고려하여 가능한 식생기반 면적을 넓혀주어 자연적인 식생 유입이 가능하도록 제방 호안공법 적용이 필요하였다.
