Abstract

The purpose of this study is to assess the degree of vegetation recovery such as the vegetation change and the effect of artificial restoration measures according to the number of years since the restoration works at the damaged Jungbong and Nuebong area in Mudeungsan National Park. We set up a total of 21 survey areas including 11 monitoring areas to analyze the flora, relative dominance, species diversity, and similarity in the restored site after relocation of Zungbong army base in 1996 and the restored site after the demolition of Neeebong telecommunication facility in 1999 and 10 control areas in the adjacent natural forest to assess the vegetation recovery in the restored sites and the nearby natural forest. The Mean Similarity Index of seed composition was relatively low at 3.5% in the Jungbong restoration site 17 years after the restoration, and the height of shrub layer, in which azaleas and furred azaleas appeared, recovered to the level of 82.6%. We concluded that it is necessary to continue monitoring the restored sites to develop the recovery assessment method and recovery work technology for sub-alpine areas in Mudeungsan National Park and other national park areas.

본 연구의 목적은 무등산국립공원 식생복원사업후 경과년수에 따라 식생변화상태, 인위적 복원조치에 대한 효과 등 식생회복정도를 평가하는데 있다. 1996년에 시행한 중봉 군부대 이전 복원공사지역과 1999년에 누에봉 방송통신시설 철거 복원공사지역에 식물상, 상대우점치, 종다양도, 유사도 등을 분석하기 위해 모니터링 시험구 11개소, 복원공사지역 인근 자연림에 대조구 10개소 등 총 21개소의 조사구를 설치하여 복원공사지역과 주변 자연림간 식생회복 정도를 평가하였다. 복원 후 17년이 경과한 중봉 군부대 이전 복원공사지역은 종구성의 유사도지수 평균치가 3.5%로 낮았으나 관목층의 수고는 112%의 수준으로 회복되었다. 복원 후 14년이 경과한 누에봉 방송통신시설 철거 복원공사지역의 유사도지수 평균치는 5.05%이었고 산철쭉과 털진달래가 출현하는 관목층의 수고는 82.6% 수준으로 회복되었다. 무등산국립공원과 다른 국립공원지역의 아고산대 복원평가방법과 복원공사기술개발을 위하여 복원공사지역의 지속적인 모니터링이 필요하다.
