Abstract

This study was designed to come up with a way of managing a cultural landscape forest by conducting research on the vegetation structure and growth characteristics. This study's target site, which was 45,201㎡ in size, was Pinus densiflora forest for Sugumagi placed at the entrance of Unmun Temple, Sinwon-ri, Unmun-myeon, and Cheongdo-gun in the southernmost part of Gyeongsangbuk-do, Korea. Sugumagi means the water of the valley flows far away, and where no downstream is visible according to feng shui. The historical sources of the Sugumagi Pinus densiflora forest at the entrance of Unmun Temple isn't clear. It waw only found at that location. The Pinus densiflora forest at the entrance of Unmun Temple is located in the waterway in terms of Feng Shui. The present condition of growth was investigated through a grid surveys of 98 trees and Pinus densiflora growth. As a result of the analysis of growth status, Pinus densiflora, Larix leptolepis, Zelkova serrata, Celtis sinensis, and Rhus javanica were distributed in the conopy layer, and 28 species including Ailanthus altissima were grown in the understroy layer, and 92 species, including Ampelopsis brevipedunculata, in the shrub layer. The plant community structure was divided into low, medium and high-density Pinus densiflora forests in the study area, based on the number in the conopy layer and the grade of and the trees analyzed. As a result of the analysis, the Pinus densiflora dominated the low, medium and high-density Pinus densiflora forests, and there were no competitive species. The relative dominance of the low-density Pinus densiflora forests was 46.9% on average, medium-density was 62.6% and 50.2% was found in high-density. The mean species diversity of Shannon in the low-density study was 0.7055, medium-density study was 0.8966 and the average species diversity of Shannon in the high-density study was 0.8317. The analysis of the age and growth of 25 sample trees in the Sugumagi Pinus densiflora forest shows that the distribution of the chest diameter (DBH) of the sample Pinus densiflora is 38 to 77cm with the average chest diameter being 61.1cm. The age was 84-161 years and the average was 114 years. In the Pinus densiflora forest, most(670,659, or 98.3%) of the tree trunk wound was collected for rosins during the Japanese colonia Era, Of the total 670, 659 were Pinus densiflora, 98.3% of the total. 394 were surgically repaired in 2005. For the preservation of the Sugumagi Pinus densiflora forest, dead trees should be replaced with substitute trees appropriate to the middle and south topography. It is demanded that foreign species such as Larix leptolepis in the research area should be removed and Pinus densiflora that underwent surgical operations should be regularly sterilized. It is also emphasized that the management of insecticide is important.

본 연구는 수구막이 소나무림을 대상으로 식생구조 및 생육특성 연구를 통한 문화경관림의 관리방안 수립을 목적으로 수행하였다. 연구 대상지는 경상북도 최남단에 위치한 청도군 운문면 신원리 운문사 입구의 수구막이 소나무림으로 면적은 45,201㎡이다. 운문사입구 수구막이 소나무림의 역사적 근거에 대한 사료는 전무하였고, 선형연구를 통해 운문사 입구 소나무림이 위치하고 있는 곳이 풍수지리적으로 수구에 위치하고 있음을 알 수 있었다. 생육현황은 조사구 98개에 대한 격자조사를 통해 전체 수목현황과 소나무 생육상태를 조사하였다. 생육현황 분석결과, 교목층에 소나무, 일본잎갈나무, 느티나무, 팽나무, 붉나무가 분포하였고, 아교목층에서는 가죽나무 등 28종, 관목층은 개머루 등 92종이 생육하고 있었다. 소나무 식물군집 구조는 교목층 소나무 주수와 경급을 기준으로 연구대상지 내 소나무림의 저밀도, 중밀도, 고밀도로 구분하여 비교분석하였다. 분석결과 저밀도, 중밀도, 고밀도 소나무림 공히 교목층은 소나무가 우점하였고, 경쟁수종은 없었다. 저밀도의 소나무림 상대우점치는 평균 46.9이었고, 중밀도는 평균 62.6%, 고밀도는 평균 50.2%이었다. 저밀도 조사구의 Shannon의 종다양도는 평균 0.7055이었고, 중밀도는 평균 0.8966, 고밀도는 평균 0.8317이었다. 수구막이 소나무림의 표본목 25주에 대한 연륜 및 생장량을 분석한 결과, 표본목 흉고직경(DBH) 분포는 38~77cm이었으며 평균 흉고직경은 61.1cm이었다. 수령은 84~161년이었고 표본목 평균 수령은 114년이었다. 수구막이 소나무에는 일제강점기에 송진 채취를 목적으로 낸 수간상처가 대부분 있다. 현황을 보면 전체 670주 중 송진 채취목이 659주로 전체의 98.3%이다. 그중 394주는 2005년에 외과수술을 실시하였다. 수구막이 소나무림의 보존을 위해 고사목은 대체목으로 수형을 고려하여 중남부평지형 소나무로 복원하고, 대상지내 일본잎갈나무 등 외래종 제거와 외과수술을 한 소나무는 정기적인 살균·살충의 관리방안을 제시하였다.
