Abstract
The study of site characteristics and vegetation structure was carried out to provide basic data for conservation and reasonable management of Korean endemic Corylopsis coreana communities in Jukgok and Ogok-myeon in Gokseong, Jeonnam Province. In C. coreana communities, average soil pH was 5.05, and the content of organic matter, total N and available P was 5.22%, 0.24% and 3.25ppm, respectively. According to the importance value of each layer, Pinus densiflora, uercus variabilis of Jukgok and uercus mongolica, serrata, and Pinus densiflora of Ogok area in the tree layer were high. In the subtree and shrub layer at two study sites, C. coreana has the highest importance value. In subtree layer at the two study sites, species diversity, evenness and dominance ranged from 0.567 to 0.779, 0.401 to 0.509 and 0.491 to 0.509, respectively. The distribution patterns by Morisita's index showed that C. coreana in two study sites was randomly distributed in the subtree and shrub layers.
