Abstract
This study was conducted to get basic information about making windbreak forest around Saemanguem reclaimed lands by analyzing the vegetation structure of 8 windbreak forests along the west coast of Korea and considering the methods of structural improvement. The total plants existing in the study areas were 25 families 40genus 43 species, and every tree layer consisted of only one tree species, Pinus thunbergii. There were 2 windbreak stands consisted of a species, and 2 consisted of multiple layer with a species. While, 4 windbreak stands consist of various species with several species. To make ecological system and functions of windbreak forests stabler, TL, STL and SL should be together in the vertical point, moreover, TL should be appeared at the in side and SL should be planted at the out side in the horizontal point. It is considered that mixed stand forest might be suitable for increasing the windbreak forest's functions and decreasing damage caused by disease and insects.
