Vegetation and landscape characteristics at the three highest summits of Republic of Korea, i.e. Seoraksan, Jirisan and Hallasan, are analyzed on the basis of species composition, physiognomy, vegetation distribution and structure of alpine plants, along with landform, geology, soil and habitat conditions. Dominant high mountain plants at three alpine and subalpine belts contain deciduous broadleaved shrub, Rhododendron mucronulatum var. ciliatum (31.6%), and evergreen coniferous small tree, Pinus pumila (26.3%) at Seoraksan, deciduous broadleaved tree, Betula ermanii (35.3%), evergreen coniferous tree, Picea jezoensis (23.5%) at Jirisan, and evergreen coniferous tree, Abies koreana (22.6%), deciduous broadleaved shrub, Rhododendron mucronulatum var. ciliatum, and Juniperus chinensis var. sargentii (19.4%) at Hallasan, respectively. Presence of diverse landscapes at the peak of Seoraksan, such as shrubland, grassland, dry land along with rocky areas, and open land may be the result of hostile local climate and geology. High proportion of grassland and wetland at the top of Jirisan may related to gneiss-based gentle topography and well developed soil deposits, which are beneficial to keep the moisture content high. Occurrence of grassland, shrubland, dry land, conifer vegetation, and rocky area at the summit of Hallasan may due to higher elevation, unique local climate, as well as volcanic origin geology and soil substrates. Presences of diverse boreal plant species with various physiognomy at alpine and subalpine belts, and wide range of landscapes, including rocky, grassland, shrubland, wetland, and conifer woodland, provide decisive clues to understand the natural history of Korea, and can be employed as an relevant environmental indicator of biodiversity and ecosystem stability.

The purpose of the this study was to provide basic data on reasonable management for Abies koreana in Mt. Jiri through analysis the ecological characteristics of Abies koreana forests on Seseok. Due to low soil pH (4.26), high organic matter (10.5%) and total N (0.32%), the soil properties of A. koreana forest on Seseok are different from those of other forest soil in Korea. According to the result of importance value analysis, A. koreana (70.5) for tree layer, A. koreana (37.6) and Rhododendron schlippenbachii (20.8) for subtree layer and A. koreana (12.6), Sasa borealis (11.5) and Acer pseudosieboldianum (11.2) for shrub layer were high, respectively. The species diversity of Shannon was 0.425 for tree layer, 0.869 for subtree layer and 1.320 for shrub layer. Evenness and dominance for all layers ranged from 0.365 to 0.894 and 0.187 to 0.635, respectively. Height growth according to DBH of A. koreana on Seseok was relative high. Annual mean tree ring growth of A. koreana showed up 1.372, 1.557 and 1.483 mm/yr for small, middle and large diameter tree, respectively. Considering the importance value, distribution of seedling, height growth and ring growth, A. koreana forest on Seseok in Mt. Jiri will be maintained as the major population from now on.

본 연구는 가야산 포천 계곡의 생태관광 자원 활용을 목적으로 현존 환경요인과 군집유형의 관계를 식물사회학적으로 분석하여 적절한 식생 관리 방안을 제시하기 위해 수행하였다. 조사결과, 가야산 포천 계곡에서 다음과 같은 5개 유형의 군집이 조사되었다. 소나무-신갈나무군락, 졸참나무-굴참나무군락, 일본잎갈나무-졸참나무군락, 소나무-밤나무군락, 갯버들-달뿌리풀군락으로 나타났다. 졸참나무-굴참나무군락은 다시 조사지에 따라 2가지의 하위군락으로 나타났다. 조사지 식생을 대상으로 생태관광자원 활용과 건전한 자연식생 유지를 위해 다음과 같은 식생관리방안을 제안하는 바이다. 나타난 식물군집의 교목층에 대한 인위적인 관리는 철저히 배제하여 현존식생을 유지하도록 하며, 금후 시간 경과에 따라 관목층에서 생육하는 교목성 수종이 아교목층 이상으로 성장하였을 때, 숲 관리 등의 인위적 관리를 실시하여 기존 식생구조를 최대한 유지하도록 한다. 연구 대상지의 생물다양성을 높이기 위해 관목층 이하 층위에서 특정 종의 우점을 배제하고 다양한 식물종이 우점도를 유지할 수 있도록 인위적인 관리를 지속적으로 실시한다.

Structure and dynamics of Abies koreana community in Mt. Gaya were studied to provide the basic data for conservation of Abies koreana community, an endemic species in Korea. A. koreana community of this study site was composed of tree layer (4~7m), subtree layer (2~4m), shrub layer (1~2m), and herb layer (below 1m). The heights of tree and subtree layers were low. Floristic composition showed that this study site was subalpine and dry site. In frequency distribution diagram of diameter classes of major species consisting of A. koreana community, those of both A. koreana and other species showed reverse J-shaped types. From these results, it was estimated that A. koreana community of this site might be maintained continuously as a stable climax state like present state. In the spatal distribution diagram of major species, saplings of A. koreana were established under the canopy of A. koreana and Pinus koraiensis and under the dead tree of A. koreana. From these results, it was known that A. koreana saplings were recruited before the community was disturbed and regeneration was accomplished by advance regeneration pattern, in which these saplings established before occurrence of disturbance fill with open site originated from death of mature tree. Growth of annual rings was variable among individuals, it was estimated that such variation was originated in that growth of each individual relates to microclimatic conditions rather than macroclimatic ones. Ecological longevity of A. koreana in this study site estimated by disturbance types and age of dead trees was about 120 years.

상록활엽수림의 식생구조 변화를 모니터링 하기 위하여 완도수목원에 20개의 고정시험구를 1996년에 설치했다. 20개의 고정시험구는 10개의 시험구와 대조구로 구분했으며, 시험구는 적정밀도로 택벌한 후 상록활엽수를 식재했다. 시험처리전 20개 고정시험구의 식생구조는 붉가시나무, 붉가시나무와 개서어나무, 소나무 등이 우점하였고, 소나무군락과 낙엽활엽수군락에서 붉가시나무군락으로 천이되는 식생구조를 나타냈다. 시험처리시험구는 붉가시나무와 소나무가 우점하는 식생구조로 바뀌었고, 관목층과 지피층의 출현종수, 개체수, 피도 등이 증가하였다.

월악산국립 공원지역의 탐방로 주연부식생 구조를 파악하기 위하여 주요 탐방로 5개 구간에 조사구 39개를 설치하여 식생 구조를 조사하였다. 탐방로별 교목층의 우점종은 신갈나무와 소나무, 굴참나무가 조사되었으며, 관목층의 주요 수종으로는 입지환경 요인이나 이용강도에 상관없이 동창구간을 제외한 모든 구간에서 조록싸리로 나타났다. 5개 탐방로 구간 간 유사도지수는 $41.65\%\~66.50\%$로 나타났다. 입지환경별 탐방로 주연부 수종의 차이는 크게 나타나지 않는 것으로 판단된다.

Lespedeza maximowiczii C. K. Schneid. (Fabaceae) is a deciduous shrub which is known to be distributed in the temperate forests of China, Korea and on Tsushima Island of Japan. Due to severe morphological variations within species, numerous examinations have been conducted for Korean L. maximowiczii. However, the morphology of Chinese plants has not been studied as thoroughly, despite doubts about their taxonomy. To clarify this taxonomic issue, we investigated morphological characters and undertook a Bayesian clustering analysis with microsatellite markers. The morphological and genetic traits of Chinese individuals varied considerably from those of typical L. maximowiczii growing in Korea. For example, petals of the former had a different shape and bore long claws, while the calyx lobes were diverged above the middle and the upper surface of the leaflet was pubescent. Their terete buds and spirally arranged bud scales were distinct from those within the series/section Heterolespedeza, which includes L. maximowiczii. Our Bayesian clustering analysis additionally included L. buergeri as an outgroup. Those results indicated that the Chinese samples clustered into a lineage separated from L. maximowiczii (optimum cluster, K = 2), despite the fact that the latter is grouped into the same lineage with L. buergeri. Therefore, we treat those Chinese plants as a new species with the name L. pseudomaximowiczii.

The actual vegetation and environmental impact grade of Daekwanrim in Hamyang were investigated and the structure of the plant community was analyzed by the classification of TWINSPAN and three kinds of multivariate ordination (PCA, RA, DCA) techniques.Twenty-eight plots were set up by the clumped sampling method in June of 1990. Carpinus laxiflora and C. tschonoskii communities covered 38% and Quercus species communities covered 39% of the total rea. Environmental impact class 3 and 4 area. Twenty-eight plots were divided into three groups according to the degree of damage by TWINSPAN and ordination techniques. The dominant species in the shrub layer of the heavily damaged site and the light damaged site were Styrax japonica and Sasamorpha purporanscens, so the sucessional trends should be disturbed. As a result of the analysis for the relationship between the stand scores of DCA and the environmental impact class, they had a tendancy to increase from the light damaged to heavily damaged site.

복사앵도나무는 벚나무속의 낙엽관목으로 우리나라 특산식물이다. 그러나 복사앵도나무의 학명은 라틴기재가 되지 않은 명칭으로 여기에 정당공표하였다. 복사앵도나무는 호석회식물로 북한에 한정되어 분포하는 것으로 알려져 왔는데, 최근 강원도의 면산과 자병산에서 새로운 분포지가 발견되었다.

Tripterygium wilfordii Hook.f. (Celastraceae), collected from Phia Oac-Phia Den National Park of Vietnam, is reported here as a new generic and species record for the flora of Vietnam. The genus Tripterygium differs from other genera of Celastraceae by its samara fruits, which become three-winged at maturity, and a scandent shrub. Taxonomic notes, descriptions, line drawing and photographs are provided, together with short notes on the distribution, ecology and phenology of Tripterygium wilfordii Hook.f. (Celastraceae).
