Abstract
In this study we investigated the relationship between characteristics of vegetative growth of three species of Viola (V. rossii, V. japonica, and V. dissecta var. chaerophylloides) and light in order to explain how these three species could live together under a closed space in a forest. This studywas carried out at five sites in Mudeung-san (Mt.) on 1994, 1995, and 2000 and additional investigations were performed on 2007 and 2010 at the same sites. In order to find the relationship, three main investigations were conducted: counting number of individuals for each investigated year, measuring dry mass and counting developed leaves per plant, and finding presenting patterns of each species with reference to incidence of light. As a result, we found that three species could share the closed space in a forest because of their different adaptive strategies like V. rossii as Kstrategist, V. japonica as r-strategist, and V. dissecta var. chaerophylloides as an intermediator between two species.
