The characters of Chamaecyparis obtusa community extended around the Mt. Gyeryoung in Geoje-cik were investigated for several ecological parameters and the results can be summarized as fellows. Chamaecyparis obtusa is prevailing in the plantation area, whereas Pinus densiflora and Quercus mongolica are prevailing in its outskirts. Plant biomass and net production which estimated from degree of green naturality and Miami's model were much higher in the plantation than those of the natural forest. However, the mean species diversity of plantation was lower than that of natural populations. In stratification of investigated areas, overstory tree layer was dominant in the zone of plantation and dominant layers in the natural forest were understory tree layer, shrub, and herb.
