Abstract

This study aim that definite the relationship between coastal environment and different sand bar communities, as well as to analyze their spatial distribution of barrier island in the Nakdong river estuary. Survey method follow by Braun-Blanquet(1965) and there a total of 118 relev$\acute{e}$'s were undertaken. Definition of the relationships between species and environmental variables with Canonical Correlation Analysis(CCoA) and that to applied these relev$\acute{e}$'s with the RIM(Kim and Kim, 2006) program and that to classification used the SYN-TAX 2000 program(Podani 1979). On the basis of about 118 phytosociological releve's, the vegetation of xeric and hydric type was arranged in twelve plant communities: Xeric type-Pinus thunbergii community,Vitex rotundifolia community, Carex pumila community, Imperata cylindrica var. koenigii community, Miscanthus sacchariflorus community and Calystegia soldanella community, Hydric type-Salix dependens-Calamagrostis epigeios community, Calamagrostis epigeios-Phragmites communis community, Phragmites communis-Ischaemum aristatum community, Phragmites communis community, Scirpus planiculmis community and Suaeda glauca-S. japonica community.These plant communities represents sand dune vegetation and salt marsh vegetation. Widely distributing types in the actual vegetation map were sea club-rush community, reed community in salt marsh, and dry grassland. The edge in the coastal sand bars has zonation that almost distribution by the reed community in salt marsh. But outside of it were distributed sea club-rush community. Dry grassland type distributes higher zone of the center in coastal sand bars. Respectively, the coastal sand dune and salt marsh vegetation types were distributed ocean and inland on the frontier of it.

본 연구는 낙동강 하구역 연안 사주섬 식생의 발달과 분포 특성을 규명하고자 시행하였다. 총 118개의 식생자료를 획득되었다. 좌표결정법에 의해 식물종과 환경요소들 간의 관계를 규명하였으며, 이를 위해 RIM 등의 프로그램을 이용하였다. 총 12개의 식물군락이 구분되었으며, 건생형과 습생형으로 대분류 되었다. 이들 식물군락은 사주와 염습지를 대표하는 하는 식생형으로 건생형은 해송군락, 순비기나무군락, 좀보리사초군락, 띠군락, 물억새군락, 갯메꽃군락, 습생형은 개수양버들-산조풀군락, 갈대-산조풀군락, 쇠보리-갈대군락, 갈대군락, 새섬매자기군락, 나문재-칠면초군락 등으로 구분되었다. 공간적으로 건생형 초본과 염습지의 갈대군락 및 새섬매자기군락이 가장 넓게 분포하고 있었다. 해안 사주의 대부분은 갈대군락이 대상으로 분포하며, 해안가에서는 새섬매자기군락이 관찰되었다. 현존식생도에서 가장 넓은 면적을 구성하는 식생유형은 새섬매자기군락, 염습지 갈대군락, 건생초원식생이다. 대부분의 사주섬 가장자리에는 염습지 갈대군락이 대상으로 분포하며, 그 외곽에 새섬매자기군락이 발달하고 있다. 해안 사구식생과 염습지 식생은 각각 말단사주섬의 전방과 후방 지역에 분포하였다.
