Abstract

The aim of this study is to research spatial diffusion, a condition for spread of Ailanthus altissima, and conduct flora analysis to provide useful information for management of it. Three research spots where the community dominance value was found to be high and habitat was homogeneous according to a 2010 in-depth species study were selected, and census was conducted using a line-transect method. The diffusion area included 1,435 $m^2$ in Yangpyeong, 1,118 $m^2$ in Gimcheon and 760 $m^2$ in Sancheong, in order of increasing size, and a total of 510 trees were found to be randomly diffused in space. An average of 83.2% of Ailanthus altissima were found to be included in DBH classes I (1.0-3.4 cm) and II (3.5-6.4 cm), showing that young trees were dominant in Ailanthus altissima communities and there was an age diffusion pattern according to degree of disturbance in habitats. A total of 41 families 75 genera and 91 species of flora made up the list, and Therophytes were most widely found in all of the three areas. This shows that habitats in these areas have recently been disturbed. It was evaluated that elimination of roadside population and mountainous area population was necessary to prevent diffusion of Ailanthus altissima.

본 연구는 가죽나무의 확산에 필수적으로 요구되는 공간분포를 조사하고 입지특성, 식물상 분석을 실시하여 관리에 유용한 정보를 제공하는데 목적이 있다. 조사지점은 군락의 우점도가 높고, 생육입지가 균질한 유형을 고려하여 김천, 산청과 양평의 3장소를 선정하여 Line-transect 방법으로 전수조사를 실시하였다. 분포 면적 크기는 양평 1,435 $m^2$, 김천 1,118 $m^2$, 산청 760 $m^2$ 순으로 확인되었으며 총 510개체가 공간상에서 무작위(random)적으로 분포하는 것으로 나타났다. 전체 흉고직경(DBH) 계급범위(Class) 중 I(1.0-3.4 cm), II(3.5-6.4 cm))에 포함되는 가죽나무는 평균 83.2%로 가죽나무군락은 직경이 작은 개체가 우점하며 생육지의 교란정도에 따른 분포 패턴이 밝혀졌다. 식물상은 총 43과 75속 91종이 조사되었으며 3지역 모두 일년생식물(Th)이 가장 높게 나타나, 생육지가 최근에 교란이 발생된 지역임을 알 수 있었다. 가죽나무개체군의 확산을 방지하기 위해선 도로변 개체군 제거와 동시에 산지개체군제거가 필요할 것으로 판단되었다.
