낙남정맥 마루금 일대의 식생상황을 파악하기 위해 환경조건과 인위적 영향을 고려하여 중점조사지 6개 지역(길마재, 무량산, 여항산, 무학산, 천주산, 신어산)을 선정하여 방형구 132개소(면적 $100m^2$)를 설치하여 출현수종 및 주요 환경인자를 조사해 식생구조 특성을 분석하였다. TWINSPAN기법으로 분리된 군락은 신갈나무-굴참나무군락, 소나무-떡갈나무군락, 신갈나무-소나무군락, 편백림, 소나무-곰솔군락, 잣나무림, 철쭉재배품종-참싸리림이었다. 소나무-떡갈나무군락, 신갈나무-소나무군락, 소나무-곰솔군락은 하층에 낙엽성 참나무류의 세력이 강해 낙엽성 참나무류로의 식생천이가 예상된다. 편백림과 잣나무림, 철쭉재배품종-참싸리림은 인위적으로 조성된 인공림으로 조림수종의 우점도가 높아 당분간 현상태로 유지될 것이다. 낙남정맥의 식생은 대부분 2차림이거나 임목생산과 사방녹화를 위해 조성된 인공림이었다. 특히, 산정상부와 고지대는 대부분 신갈나무, 떡갈나무 등의 낙엽성 참나무류가 우점하거나 일부 소나무군락은 낙엽성 참나무류와의 세력경쟁을 벌이고 있었다. 반면, 저지대나 도시와 인접해 있는 지역은 곰솔, 편백, 잣나무, 철쭉재배품종 등이 식재되어 인위적인 간섭이 심한 편이었다.

Background: The sprouts of oak species play an important role in maintaining the oak community in a disturbed environment. In this study, we cut 1-year-old oak in three times during the 3 years and measured the sprout responses to know sprouting ability of six deciduous oaks in Korea. Results: Oak sprouts have appeared in spring and fall, and some of the sprouts had lifespan as short as a month. As the number of cutting increases, sprout number of Quercus acutissima increased whereas the other oak species decreased or died. The average number of sprouts over the 3 years was from 1.4 (Quercus mongolica) to 2.2 (Q. acutissima) per individual. Quercus serrata died after the second cutting, and Quercus dentata died after the third cutting. So, the two species have the lowest sprouting ability among six oak species. The sprouts grew actively during fall and slowly in summer. The sprout length during the 3 years was in the following descending order: Q. acutissima, Quercus aliena, Q. dentata, and Q. mongolica. Sprout of Q. acutissima and Q. aliena generated steadily over the 3 years, and sprout of Quercus variabilis and Q. mongolica was changed by year. After the 3 years, the number of sprouts increased only in Q. acutissima but sprout number of the other five oak species decreased. The sprout length of Q. acutissima, Q. aliena, and Q. variabilis increased, but sprout length of the other three oak species decreased. The average survival rate of saplings over the 3 years was in the following descending order: Q. acutissima, Q. aliena, Q. variabilis, and Q. mongolica. Conclusions: As a result, the sprouting ability of Q. acutissima was the highest. Such level of sprouting ability may be the evidence of how Q. acutissima community exists as a dominant species in a disturbed environment in lowlands of Korea peninsula.

The Korean peninsula belongs to the temperate forest biome dominated by many deciduous oaks. We quantitatively and qualitatively studied vertical and horizontal distributions and habitat characteristics on the major oak species such as Quercus mongolica, Q. serrata, Q. variabilis, Q. dentata, Q. aliena and Q. acutissima. A total of 5,278 samples were analyzed with a species coverage and 6 principal environmental variables extracted from public database of nationwide natural environment survey. Correlation analysis was accomplished by the CANOCO using Canonical Correspondence Analysis and the Pearson correlation coefficient using PASW Statistics. The hierarchical distribution tendency of six oaks was finalized using the Goodman-Kruskal lambda coefficient of non-metric multidimensional scaling by SYN-TAX 2000. The utmost factor on the distributional segregation of oak species was the elevation, i.e. temperature. Q. serrata and Q. mongolica show clearly a diametrical distribution patterns with zonal distribution. Q. variabilis was determined as a thermophilic and xerophilous species that is a component of not only natural pseudo-climax forest but also secondary forest. The highest frequency of the dominant forest was found Q. mongolica. Whereas, Q. serrata showed the highest frequency of individual tree but the relatively lower frequency of dominant forest, which is resulted from the original habitat loss. By the benefit of the traditional Soopjeong-E, Q. acutissima dominant forests were remained rather largely. Individuals of Q. dentata occurred horizontally nationwide, but its dominant forest was the poorest. Dominant forest of Q. aliena, which is a natural vegetation, was the most rare due to a limited potential habitat.

강원도 태백시에서 부산광역시까지 이어지는 낙동정맥 마루금 일대의 식생상황을 파악하기 위해, 낙동정맥의 환경조건과 인위적 영향을 고려해 중점조사지 6곳을 선정해 식생조사를 실시했다. TWINSPAN에 의한 군락분류 결과, 거제수나무-신갈나무군락, 신갈나무군락, 소나무-신갈나무군락, 소나무군락, 낙엽성 참나무류-소나무군락, 낙엽성 참나무류군락, 곰솔림, 잣나무-리기다소나무림, 편백-사방오리림 등 9개로 유형화되었다. 강원도 태백시의 백병산에서는 온대북부 기후대의 환경특성을 반영한 거제수나무-신갈나무군락이 출현했고, 부산광역시의 구덕산은 해안에 인접한 지역으로 곰솔림이 분포했다. 구덕산은 도심에 위치해 있고 해발고도가 낮아 사람들이 자주 찾는 곳으로서 임목생산 및 사방녹화를 위한 편백, 곰솔 등과 조경수가 심어져 자연성이 낮은 편이었다. 그 외 중점조사지에서는 남한의 정맥을 대표하는 산림식생유형인 신갈나무우점군락, 소나무우점군락, 낙엽성 참나무류군락이 주로 분포해, 타 정맥과 산림식생유형이 크게 다르지 않았다. 낙동정맥은 남북방향으로 길게 늘어져 있어 온대북부 기후대부터 난온대 기후대까지의 식생변화가 뚜렷하게 나타난 것이 특징적이었다.
