Abstract

This study was conducted to highlight the necessity for a stand density control management plan in consideration of the shape ratio of Pinus densiflora and Larix kaempferi in Korea. A total of 2,112 Pinus densiflora samples and 2,030 Larix kaempferi samples were cut, and their diameter at breast height (DBH), height, and clear length were measured for regional shape ratio (height/DBH) comparison and analysis.The shape ratio of Pinus densiflora was 72.3% in the Gangwon district, 64.0% in the central district, and 70.8% on average, indicating a higher percentage of Pinus densiflora in Gangwon than in the central area. Regionally, Yeongju had the highest percentage at 78.4%, with Yeongwol indicating 77.5%. Measured by diameter, results showed a presence of 90.4% for small diameter trees (6-16 cm), 71.7% for medium diameter trees (18-28 cm), and 56.1% for large diameter trees (30 cm). As density increased, the shape ratio of height to tree trunk diameter also increased; below 70% indicated a more stable trunk, while a result above 80% indicated trunks prone to wind hazards and snowstorms, and, therefore, the need for density control in partial areas. The overall shape ratio of Larix kaempferi was 90.6%. Pyeongchang indicated a 108.5% ratio, Yeongju 105.4%, and Danyang 100.5%, respectively.According to diameter class, small diameter trees showed 104.9% occurrence, medium diameter trees 92.7%, and large diameter trees 73.4%. The shape ratio of Larix kaempferi was higher than 80% overall, indicating vulnerability to wind hazards and snowstorms. Therefore, appropriate stand density management is required.

본 연구는 우리나라 소나무와 일본잎갈나무의 지역별 형상비를 고려한 임분 밀도 관리의 필요성과 관리 방안을 제시하기 위하여 수행되었다. 전국을 대상으로 소나무 2,112본, 일본잎갈나무 2,030본을 벌채하여 흉고직경 및 수고, 지하고를 측정하고 지역별 형상비(수고/흉고직경)를 비교 분석하였다. 소나무의 형상비는 강원지방 소나무 72.3%, 중부지방소나무 64.0%, 소나무 평균 70.8%로 강원지방소나무가 중부지방소나무에 비하여 높게 나타났다. 지역별로는 영주 78.4%, 영월 77.5%순으로 높게 나타났으며, 직경별로는 소경목 90.4%, 중경목 71.7%, 대경목 56.1%로 나타났다. 형상비는 밀도가 높아질수록 수간의 직경에 대한 수고의 비율(형상비)이 높아지며, 70% 이하면 안정성이 높으나 80%를 초과하면 풍해 및 폭설피해로 위험해지기 때문에 일부 지역에서는 임분 밀도관리가 필요하다. 일본잎갈나무의 전체 평균 형상비는 90.6%이며, 지역별로는 평창 108.5%, 영주 105.4%, 단양 100.5% 순으로 나타났다. 경급별로는 소경목 104.9%, 중경목 92.7%, 대경목 73.4%로 전체적으로 일본잎갈나무의 형상비가 80% 이상으로 풍해 및 폭설피해의 위험에 노출되어 있어 빠른 시일 내에 적정 임분 밀도의 관리의 시업이 요구되어 진다.
