Abstract

This study was conducted to identify the vegetation structure of the Abies nephrolepis forests by analyzing species composition in Mt. Doota and Mt. Cheongok in the Gangwon region with the phytosociological method. In order to perform a field investigation, 18 survey areas with an area of about 400 m2 were set up for the stands where A. nephrolepis grow wild. Communities were classified through TWINSPAN and visualized using DCA (Detrended Correspondence Analysis). Species diversity analysis, importance value analysis, and DBH class analysis were employed to identify the characteristics of each community. As a result, the A. nephrolepis forests in Mt. Doota and Mt. Cheongok have been classified into 4 communities; GroupI, II, III and IV. GroupIis Quercus mongolica-A. nephrolepis competitive forest dominated by Q. mongolica and A. nephrolepis in the order. Group II is A. nephrolepis-Betula ermanii competitive forest dominated by A. nephrolepis, Sorbus commixta, and B. ermanii in the order. Group III is dominated by A. nephrolepis, but is expected to have competition between A. nephrolepis and Q. mongolica in the future due to the mass occurrence of Q. mongolica saplings. A. nephrolepis, S. commixta, and Q. mongolica are the dominant species in Group IV, and A. nephrolepis is the major dominant species in all layers. The species diversity of the A. nephrolepis forests in Mt. Doota and Mt. Cheongok is lower than other A. nephrolepis forests in Mt. Seorak, Maruguem, and Mt. Odae. It is necessary to establish conservation measures and to continuously monitor the A. nephrolepis forests in Mt. Doota and Mt. Cheongokis due to the harsh environment and the competition that may occur between A. nephrolepis and deciduous trees such as Q. mongolica in the future.

강원 지역 두타산과 청옥산에 자생 중인 분비나무림의 종조성 분석을 통한 식생 구조를 파악하기 위해 식물사회학적 방법에 따른 현장조사와 군집 분류를 시행하였다. 분비나무가 자생하고 있는 임분을 대상으로 약 400m2 면적의 조사구 18개소를 설정하고 현장조사를 시행하였으며, 이원지표종분석(TWINSPAN)을 통하여 군집을 분류하고 DCA(Detrended Correspondence Analysis)를 통해 시각화하였으며, 분류된 군집 별 종다양도 분석, 중요치 분석, 흉고직경급 분포도 분석을 통해 각 군집 별 특성을 파악하고자 하였다. 그 결과, 강원도 두타산과 청옥산의 분비나무림은 Group I,II,III,IV 등 총 4개의 군집으로 분류되었다. Group I은 신갈나무, 분비나무 등의 순으로 우점하는 신갈나무-분비나무 경쟁림이며, Group II는 분비나무, 마가목, 사스래나무 등의 순으로 우점하는 분비나무-사스래나무 경쟁림이다. Group III는 분비나무가 우점하나, 다수 존재하는 낮은 직경급 신갈나무로 인해 앞으로 분비나무-신갈나무의 경쟁이 예상되며, Group IV는 분비나무, 마가목, 신갈나무 등의 순으로 우점하며 분비나무가 모든 층위에서 우점중인 임분으로 조사되었다. 강원도 두타산과 청옥산 일대 분비나무림의 종다양도는 설악산, 백두대간 닭목령-댓재구간, 오대산 등 타지역 분비나무림의 종다양도에 비해 대체로 낮았으며, 열악한 생육환경과 신갈나무 등 활엽수종과의 경쟁관계가 예상되어 지속적인 모니터링과 보전대책 수립이 필요하다.
