Abstract
Community structure varies not only in space but also in time. We stand in one position which located at Sinhung-ri, Sacheon-ci and observe the flora of area as time passes. This area begins after disturbance on sites where organisms are already present like secondary succession. In 2001, there are invaded by Trapa japonica, Salvinia natans, and Potamogon cristatus. Four or five years later, this abandoned areas support of clover, pine, and oak, resulting in a shifting pattern of species dominance and diversity through time. Patterns of community structure such as species composition and ecological diversity have shown through seasons and five years, that is the topic of this study. The values of turnover (TO) were changes through time intervals at three regions. The gradual and seemingly directional change in the structure of the community through time from aquatic like to field. Thus, we can observe the process of secondary succession at Sinhung-ri in the very short time.
