Abstract

This study was conducted to identify structural characteristics of the evergreen broad-leaved forests distributed in Hak-dong, Geojae island. For a survey, 52 sites were set up in areas with changes in the vegetation community or location environment where Cinnamomum yabunikkei, Neolitsea sericea, and Machilus thunbergii dominated or appeared in the canopy, sub-canopy, or shrub layer. The community classification with TWINSPAN identified the following communities: N. sericea-C. yabunikkei, C. yabunikkei-Camellia japonica, Ca. japonica, Quercus variabilis-Ca. japonica, Pinus thunbergii-Ca. japonica, Castanopsis sieboldii, P. thunbergii, and Platycarya strobilacea-Mallotus japonicus. Considering the result of the study that succession series of warm-temperate forest reflecting the latent natural vegetation is the transition of conifers and deciduous broad-leaved forest to evergreen broad-leaved forest, the communities predominated by the communities predominated by the communities predominated by P. thunbergii, Q. variabilis, and Pl. strobilacea are likely to transform into the evergreen forest predominated by N. sericea and C. yabunikkei. The sites where C. yabunikkei, N. sericea, and Castanopsis sieboldii are dominant in the canopy and sub-canopy layers are likely to maintain the status quo if there is no artificial disturbance. The relationship between the impact of the environmental factors and the vegetation distribution showed silt among the physical properties of the soil directly or indirectly affected it, which was judged to be due to the fact that it was located on a steep slope. The soil acidity (pH) was 5-5.84, electrical conductivity 0.047-0.139 dS/m, and organic matter content was 3.32-12.06%. Although there were differences by the colony, they were generally low.

본 연구는 거제도 학동 일대에 분포하는 상록활엽수림의 식물군집구조 특성을 파악하기 위하여 진행하였다. 조사구는 교목층, 아교목층, 관목층에 생달나무, 참식나무, 후박나무 등이 우점하거나 출현하는 식생군락 또는 입지환경의 변화가 있는 지역을 대상으로 52개의 방형구를 설정하였다. TWINSPAN에 의한 군락 분류 결과, 참식나무-생달나무군락, 생달나무-동백나무군락, 동백나무군락, 굴참나무-동백나무군락, 동백나무-생달나무군락, 구실잣밤나무군락, 곰솔군락, 굴피나무-예덕나무군락으로 구분되었다. 잠재자연식생을 반영한 난대림의 천이계열은 상록침엽수와 낙엽활엽수는 상록활엽수로 이행된다라는 연구 결과를 반영한다면, 곰솔, 굴피나무, 굴참나무 등이 우점하는 군락은 생달나무, 참식나무 등의 상록활엽수림으로 진행될 것으로 추정되었다. 교목층과 아교목층에서 생달나무, 참식나무, 구실잣밤나무의 세력이 우세한 지역은 인위적인 교란이 없다면 현상태를 유지할 것이다. 환경요인과 식생분포간의 관계를 살펴보면, 토양의 물리적 특성 중 점토가 직간접적으로 영향을 미쳤는데 이는 급경사지에 입지하였기 때문인 것으로 판단되었다. 그 외에 토양산도(pH) 5~5.84, 전기전도도 0.047~0.139dS/m, 유기물함량 3.32~12.06%로 군락별 차이는 있었으나 전반적으로 낮았다.
