Abstract

This study was carried out to classify and describe the vegetation of algific talus in Korea by methods of the ZM school of Phytosociology. A part of slope or a hollow at the foot of talus in which cool air exhausts from underground through gaps of accumulated rock debris is called algific talus. From the sixty three stands obtained, the following two community and their four subcommunity were recognized: A. Quercus variabilis - Cystopteris fragilis com. B. Quercus mongolica - Betula schmidtii com. B-1. Quercus serrata - Urtica angustifolia subcom. B-2. Sorbus commixta - Spiraea chamaedryfolia subcom. B-3. Zabelia biflora - Astilboides tabularis subcom. B-4. Typical subcom. A. Quercus variabilis - Cystopteris fragilis com.. As a result of DCCA ordination, Quercus variabilis - Cystopteris fragilis com. has Quercus variabilis, Ligustrum var. obtusifolium, Zelkova serrata, Viburnum carlesii etc. as differential species, which showed the higher correlation with area of high Warmth index (WI) and precipitation than Quercus mongolica - Betula schmidtii com. has Quercus mongolica, Sorbaria var. sorbifolia, Magnolia sieboldii, Acer pseudosieboldianum, Rosa acicularis etc. as differential species. Sorbus commixta - Spiraea chamaedryfolia subcom. has Spiraea chamaedryfolia, Sorbus commixta, Rosa koreana, Vaccinium var. hirtum, Acer tegmentosum, Dryopteris expansa, Abies holophylla etc. as differential species. and Typical subcom in Quercus mongolica - Betula schmidtii com. were distributed in higher altitude and precipitation area than others. Zabelia biflora - Astilboides tabularis subcom. has Spiraea chinensis, Zabelia biflora, Astilboides tabularis, Gymnocarpium jessoense, Saussurea mongolica, Larix kaempferi etc. as differential species, which was distributed in area with high amounts of sunlight exposure by human activities.

본 연구는 한반도 풍혈지 식생에 대하여 ZM학파의 식물사회학적 방법을 통해 식물군락의 특성을 밝히고 풍혈지의 보전 및 관리에 필요한 기초자료를 제공을 목적으로 수행되었다. 풍혈지는 지하에 저온층이 존재하는 크고 작은 바위들의 집적지로서, 지표면에 열려진 공극으로부터 자연적인 냉풍이 불어 나와 국소적으로 저온환경이 형성된 지역이다. 63개 식생조사 자료를 이용하여 풍혈지의 식물군락을 구분한 결과, A. 굴참나무-한들고사리군락, B. 신갈나무-박달나무군락, B-1. 졸참나무-가는잎쐐기풀하위군락, B-2. 마가목-인가목조팝나무하위군락, B-3. 털댕강나무-개병풍하위군락, B-4. 전형하위군락의 2개 군락 4개 하위군락으로 구분되었다. DCCA분석 결과, 굴참나무, 쥐똥나무, 느티나무, 분꽃나무 등을 구분종으로 하는 굴참나무-한들고사리군락은 신갈나무, 쉬땅나무, 함박꽃나무, 당단풍나무, 민둥인가목 등을 구분종으로 하는 신갈나무-박달나무군락보다 온량지수와 강수량이 많은 지역과 높은 상관관계를 나타냈다. 인가목조팝나무, 마가목, 흰인가목, 산앵도나무, 산겨릅나무, 퍼진고사리, 전나무을 구분종으로 하는 마가목-인가목조팝나무하위군락과 구분종을 가지고 있지 않은 전형하위군락은 다른 하위군락에 비하여 높은 해발과 많은 강수량 지역에 분포하였으며, 당조팝나무, 털댕강나무, 개병풍, 산토끼고사리, 북분취, 일본잎갈나무 등을 구분종으로 하는 털댕강나무-개병풍하위군락은 인간활동에 의하여 일광 노출이 많은 지역에 분포하였다.
