Forest vegetation of Noinbong (1,338 m) in Odaesan National Park is classified into mountain forest vegetation. Mountain forest vegetation is subdivided into deciduous broad-leaved forest, mountain valley forest, coniferous forest, subalpine coniferous forest, subalpine deciduous forest, shrub forest, riparian forest, afforestation and other vegetation. Including 196 communities of mountain forest vegetation and 7 communities of other vegetation, the total of 203 communities were researched; mountain forest vegetation classified by physiognomy classification are 62 communities deciduous broad-leaved forest, 85 communities of mountain valley forest, 18 communities of coniferous forests, 3 communities of subalpine coniferous forests, 4 communities of subapine deciduous forests, 2 communities of shrub forests, 1 communities of riparian forests, 21 afforestation and 7 other vegetation. As for the distribution rate for surveyed main communities, Quercus mongolica, Quercus serrata, Quercus variabilis communities account for 54.856 percent of deciduous broad-leaved forest, Fraxinus mandshurica - Cornus controversa community takes up 15.482 percent of mountain valley forest, Pinus densiflora community holds 78.091 percent of mountain coniferous forest holds. In conclusion, minority species consisting of Quercus mongolica, Pinus densiflora, Tilia amurensis, Fraxinus mandshurica, Cornus controversa, Quercus serrata, and Quercus variabilis are distributed as dominant species of the uppermost part in a forest vegetation region in Odaesan National Park. In addition, because of vegetation succession and climate factors, numerous colonies formed by the two species are expected to be replaced by Quercus mongolica, Carpinus laxiflora and Fraxinus mandshurica which are climax species in the area.

습지는 다양한 생물종의 서식지를 제공하고 있다. 습지는 물과 영양분이 충분하기 때문에 식물이 서식하기 좋을 것 같지만 실제적으로 습지에서는 잦은 수위변동이 발생하므로 습지에서 식물은 생리적으로 가혹한 환경에 처해 있다고 할 수 있다. 따라서 습지 식물은 서식하는데 있어 수위의 영향을 많이 받는다고 할 수 있으며 습지 조성 및 관리에 있어 습지 식물의 서식환경을 분석하는 것이 필요하다. 이에 본 연구에서는 습지 식물종의 특징과 최적의 생육환경과의 관계를 규명하기 위해 식생서식환경을 침수심과 연계하여 분석하였다. 이를 위해 식물 군락이 잘 발달되어 있는 남한강의 비내섬 습지에 대해 유황분석을 수행하였고, 유황에 따른 유량을 모의하였다. 모의된 유량과 HEC-RAS 모형을 이용하여 유황별 홍수위를 산정하였다. 또한 RAS Mapper를 이용하여 침수심과 침수구역을 모의하고, 이를 통해 여러 생물군 중 침수심에 영향을 많이 받는 식물의 서식환경을 분석하였다. 분석 결과, 버드나무군락은 침수가 발생하지 않는 지역 및 0~0.8m의 침수심, 물억새군락은 침수가 발생하지 않는 지역 및 0~0.4m의 침수심, 쑥-망초군락과 달뿌리풀군락은 0~0.4m의 침수심, 그리고 환삼덩굴군락은 0~0.8m의 침수심이 발생하는 지역에서 서식하는 것으로 분석되었다. 본 연구는 유황에 따른 침수심에 대한 식생서식환경을 분석한 것으로 식생을 고려한 인공습지 조성이나 하천설계에 있어 기초적인 자료가 될 것으로 기대되며 보다 더 정확한 연구를 위해서는 장기모니터링을 통한 식생 자료의 축적 및 더 효과적인 수위-식생 연계분석 방법론에 대한 연구가 필요할 것으로 판단된다.

In the Sumeunmulbaengdui Wetland Protected Area of Jeju Island, there exists a unique pond, a so-called 'Ohmi', which is likely to be an oasis supporting the wildlife and escaped-livestock. We exquisitely described the diversity and distribution of plant community of the Ohmi. Despite its small area, six syntaxa were identified: Sphagnum community of peat bog type, Nymphoides coreana community of the floating-leaf limnetic vegetation, Scirpus triangulatus community and Schoenoplectus hotarui community of the littoral zone vegetation, and Deinostema violacea-Eleocharis congesta community and Eriocaulon atrum-miquelianum community of the ephemeral vegetation. A zonal distribution of plant communities along the water depth was recognized. The Sphagnum islets regarded as a typical component of peat bog, in Korea were first described at the center of the Ohmi. We conclude that the Ohmi is a primeval keystone habitat of the Sumeunmulbaengdui intermediate moor with a less oligotrophic ombrotrophic environment.

As for the distribution rate for surveyed main communities, Quercus mongolica, Quercus variabilis, Tilia amurensis communities account for 37.08 percent of deciduous broad-leaved forest, Juglans mandshurica, Fraxinus mandshurica, Cornus controversa, Populus koreana community takes up 1.59 percent of mountain valley forest, Pinus densiflora community holds 6.65 percent of mountain coniferous forest holds. In conclusion, minority species consisting of Quercus mongolica, Quercus variabilis, Tilia amurensis, Juglans mandshurica, Fraxinus mandshurica, Cornus controversa, Populus koreana, Pinus densiflora are distributed as dominant species of the uppermost part in a forest vegetation of Birobong in Odaesan National Park. In addition, because of vegetation succession and climate factors, numerous colonies formed by the two species are expected to be replaced by Quercus mongolica, Tilia amurensis and Juglans mandshurica which are climax species in the area. However, the distribution rate of deciduous broad-leaved forest seems to increase gradually due to global warming and artificial disturbance.

Backswamp is the section of a floodplain where deposits of fine silts and clays settle after a flood. In general, the wetland is composed of diverse ecosystems, and is characterized by ecotone. The purpose of this study was to analyze vegetation naturalness and to assess vegetation value by syntaxonomy and synecology of Useupje backswamp at Yeongsan river. As a result, the vegetation was divided into four physyiognomy types and 14 vegetation units depending on the species composition and habitats. The vegetation units confirmed in the study were as follow: Spirodela polyrhiza community as floating plant; Trapa bispinosa var. inuma community and Trapa bispinosa var. inumai-Nelumbo nucifera community as floating-leaved plant; Paspalum distichum community, Persicaria thunbergii community and Phalaridetum arundinaceae as lentic vegetation in the eulittoral zone; Scirpo fluviarilis-Zizanietum latifoliae and Typha angustata community in the emerged zone; Scirpetum tabernaemontani and Phragmitetum australis in the littoral zone; Carex dimorpholepis-Salix subfragilis community ecotone region of upland. According to the study, the vegetation distribution was highly affected by water level and artificial interference. Moreover, the development of vegetation units showed a significant relationship between species composition and habitats. Although vegetation value of Useupje resulted by vegetation naturalness was identified as the grade [III], the ecological value is expected to upward evaluation because of unique vegetation and geographical location.

생태계에서 식생의 중요성은 식물이 일차적인 생산자로서의 역할뿐만 아니라 홍수 조절과 토양 등 지형의 여러 가지 환경요인을 변화시킨다. 일정 구간의 식물상과 식생분포는 그 하천의 환경요인과 밀접하게 연관되어 있으며, 환경요인의 변화에 따라 식물상과 식생도 영향을 받게 된다. 특히, 홍수 전 후에는 수중 및 수변에 분포하는 식물들에게 극히 민감하게 작용되고, 그 영향도 광범위하게 나타난다. 자연생태계에 있어 식생의 변화양상은 환경요인의 변화에 따라 달리 형성된다. 즉, 일정지역의 식물상과 식생은 지형, 토양(하상 입경의 크기), 수리 특성 등과 밀접하게 연관되어 있으며 이들 요인이 변하면 식물상과 식생도 영향을 받아 식물군락의 공간적 분포범위가 구별된다. 특히, 하천에서는 유수에 의한 지형 형성 과정이 역동적이며, 유수량과 수위의 계절적 변화가 심하여 식생의 구조, 공간적 분포가 다양하게 나타난다. 우리는 서울의 대표적인 도심 하천 중 하나인 도림천을 대상으로 조사하였다. 도림천을 4구간으로 홍수전($4{\sim}7$월), 홍수 후($8{\sim}10$월)로 나누어 월별로 식생의 분포와 거동특성, 수리 수질적인 특성에 대해 결과를 도출하였으며, 연구 결과를 통해 식생 별 하상입경의 변화와 하상변동, 세굴 및 퇴적 등을 분석하였다.

Various ecosystem carry out fundamental function of material circulation and energy flow through interrelationship with many environmental factors. Therefore, it is crucial to scientifically understand the value of nature to deduce correlation between environmental factor and change of ecosystem function. In this study, we determined the accumulated ecosystem carbon and characteristics of soil respiration on grassland vegetation in Namahangang basin in Namhangang Basin. It was found that the rate of soil respiration was highly correlated with the soil temperature in all communities. The measured soil respiration rates were $1,539mgCO_2\;m^{-2}h^{-1}$, $1,200mgCO_2\;m^{-2}h^{-1}$, $1,215mgCO_2\;m^{-2}h^{-1}$ in Miscanthus sacchariflorus, Phragmites japonica, Salix koreensis communities, respectively. Also, carbon quantities accumulated in litter and soil layers were $40.6tCha^{-1}$ (1.9+38.7), $46.9tCha^{-1}$ (43.0+3.9), $31.2tCha^{-1}$ (28.9+2.3) in M. sacchariflorus, P. japonica, S. koreensis communities, respectively.
