Abstract
The phytosociological study was carried out to investigate the structural characteristics of coastal vegetaion in South Korea. The vegetation data of total 102 sites were analyzed by the $Z{\ddot{u}}rich$-Montpellier school's method. Eleven community of coastal vegetation were recognized : Vitex rotundifolia-Rosa wichuraiana community, Calystegia soldanella community, Carex kobomugi-Elymus mollis community, Zoysia sinica community, Suaeda maritima community, Suaeda australis community, Suaeda glauca-Atriplex gmelinii community, Suaeda japonica community, Phragmites communis community and Calamagrostis epigeios community. Principal componant analysis (PCA) showed the similar result with phytosoiological classification.
