Abstract

The purpose of this study was to quantitatively analyze and investigate changes in the structural characteristics of the warm-temperate evergreen broad-leaved forest community in Mt. Cheomchalsan on Jindo Island. The Mt. Cheomchalsan has high conservation value because the representative warm temperate species such as Quercus acuta and Castanopsis sieboldii are distributed there. The community classification with TWINSPAN and DCA identified 4 communities: C. sieboldii community (I), C. sieboldii-Q. Salicina community (II), Q. acuta-C.sieboldii community (III), and deciduous broad-leaved trees-evergreen broad-leaved trees community (IV). According to the results of the mean importance percentage (MIP) analysis, C. sieboldii, Q. salicina, and Q. acuta were dominant species in the canopy layer, Camellia japonica, Ligustrum japonicum, and Cinnamomum yabunikkei were dominant in the understory layer, and Trachelospermum asiaticum, C. japonica, and C. sieboldii were dominant in the shrub layer. The comparison of the results of the diameter of breast height (DBH) analysis with the past data showed that the ratio of large-sized trees in the C. sieboldii and Q. acuta, which dominated the canopy layer, increased. However, there was no difference in the distribution of C. japonica and L. japonicum in the understory layer. In the future, it is necessary to generate a precision inhabiting vegetation map around the Natural Reserve to understand the actual habitation of evergreen broad-leaved trees and rezone the protective districts of evergreen broad-leaved trees forest with the watershed concept to preserve the evergreen broad-leaved forests of Mt. Cheomchalsan in Jindo.

본 연구는 진도 첨찰산을 대상으로 보전가치가 큰 난온대 상록활엽수림의 식생구조를 정량적으로 파악함과 동시에 변화상을 규명하고자 진행하였다. TWINSPAN과 DCA에 의한 군락분류결과, 구실잣밤나무군락(I), 구실잣밤나무-참가시나무군락(II), 붉가시나무-구실잣밤나무군락(III), 낙엽활엽수-상록활엽수혼효군락(IV)으로 구분되었다. 조사된 진도 첨찰산 상록활엽수림의 전체 MIP분석 결과, 교목층에서 구실잣밤나무, 참가시나무, 붉가시나무, 아교목층에서 동백나무, 광나무, 생달나무, 관목층에서 마삭줄, 동백나무, 구실잣밤나무가 우점하고 있었다. 주요 상록수종을 대상으로 흉고직경급별 분포를 분석하여 과거 자료와 비교한 결과, 상층을 우점하고 있는 구실잣밤나무, 붉가시나무는 대경목 비율이 늘어난 반면, 아교목성상의 동백나무, 광나무의 흉고직경급별 분포 차이는 나타나지 않았다. 향후 진도 첨찰산 상록활엽수림의 보전을 위해서는 천연기념물 보호구역을 중심으로 정밀현존식생도 제작과 함께 실제 상록활엽수 분포지역을 파악한 후, 유역권 개념이 포함된 첨찰산 상록활엽수림의 보호구역 재설정이 필요하다고 판단된다.
