Abstract

The distribution of floodplain vegetation is mainly affected by hydrological and hydraulic processes. In this study, we investigated changes in the vegetation distribution due to flood discharge alteration, and the relationship between the vegetation types and the flood frequency during the last ten-year period in the Cheongmi-cheon Stream. Flood discharge of the Cheongmi-cheon Stream tended to decrease from 2006 to 2016. It has greatly decreased to less than $160m^3/s$ since 2013. This resulted in the settlement of Phragmites japonica to the wide sand bar at the Cheongmi-cheon Stream, even though it had sparse vegetation before 2013. The sand bar was fully covered with P. japonica in 2016. Vegetation communities in the floodplain were classified by dominant species, i.e. the annual-hygrophytic, the perennial hygrophytic and the mesophytic communities. Analysis of the relationship between the vegetation communities and the flood frequency shows the annual hygrophytes, perennial hygrophytes and the mesophytes communities distributed in the range of under 1 year, 1-10 year and over 7 year flood inundation area, respectively. In conclusion, distribution of the floodplain vegetation is closely related with the flood discharge and frequency in the Cheongmi-cheon Stream.

하천에서 식생의 분포는 수리적 특성에 영향을 받는다. 본 연구에서는 청미천에서 홍수 유량의 변화에 의한 식생분포의 변화 및 식생 유형과 지난 10년 동안의 홍수 빈도와의 관계에 대하여 연구하였다. 청미천에서 2006년부터 2016년까지 홍수 유량은 감소하는 경향을 보였다. 특히 2013년 이후로는 $160m^3/s$ 이하로 크게 감소하였다. 이러한 홍수 유량의 감소는 2013년 이전에는 식생이 드물게 분포하였던 청미천 점동 구간의 넓은 사주에 달뿌리풀 (Phragmites japonica)의 정착을 야기하였다. 2016년에는 사주의 대부분이 달뿌리풀로 뒤덮였다. 조사대상구간 홍수터의 식생은 우점하는 종에 의해 1년생 습생식물 군집, 다년생 습생식물 군집 및 중건생식물 군집으로 분류되었다. 식생 유형과 홍수 빈도의 상관 관계를 분석한 결과, 1년생 습생식물, 다년생 습생식물 및 중건생식물 군집은 각각 1년이하의 홍수 범람 범위, 1년에서 10년 빈도의 홍수 범람 범위, 그리고 7년 이상의 홍수 범람 범위에서 분포하였다. 결론적으로, 청미천에서 홍수터 식생의 분포는 홍수 유량 및 빈도와 밀접하게 연관되어 있었다.
