본 연구는 하천 경관요소 중에서 비교적 단시간에 걸쳐 변화하는 사주 지형과 식생 분포의 역동적 형성과정을 밝히기 위해 수행되었으며, 연구 대상 하천은 2002년 이후 생태계보전지역으로 관리되고 있는 탄천 하류부 구간이다. 이를 위해서 사주지형의 변화는 항공사진과 경관사진을 통해 그 형성과정을 파악하고 현재 사주 지형 위에 형성된 식생의 분포를 현장조사를 통해 분석하였다. 분석한 연구 결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 1980년대 후반에 직강화 되었던 하도 내에서 1990년대에 들어 사주의 발달이 현저하여 다양한 형태의 사주가 형성되었고 이는 지속적으로 변화하였다. 초기에 사주가 형성되고 시간이 경과함에 따라, 하도 내 흐름 특성에 따라 사주의 면적과 높이가 변하였다. 둘째, 식생의 분포에 있어서는 물과 접촉 빈도가 높은 하안부는 교란의 정도가 심하기 때문에 무식생 상태이거나, 간헐적인 식생이 분포하여 피도가 낮게 나타났으며, 고수부지 쪽으로 형성된 사주에는 목본류나 정수식물군락이 활착되면서 식생 피도가 높게 나타나 안정식생역을 형성하였다. 셋째, 사주와 식생형성과정의 관계는 사주의 형태와 식생의 안정성 여부에 따라 저수로변 사주, 불안정 식생 저수로변사주, 안정식생 하중주 그리고 불안정식생 하중주 4가지 유형으로 나타났다. 본 연구를 통해 밝힌 하도 내 사주와 하천식생의 형성과정에 있어서의 상호관계는 모래하상의 하천부지에서 식물종이나 식재위치 선정에 유용할 것이나, 하천생태계 복원을 위한 실행사업의 식재 지침으로 활용되기 위해서는 다양한 특성을 지닌 하천에 대한 보다 폭 넓은 사례연구가 뒷받침되어야 할 것이다.

본 연구는 목포 유달산을 중심으로 한 인근 도서에 분포하는 왕자귀나무군락의 식생구조 및 입지환경 특성을 밝히고자 실시되었다. 목포 유달산의 왕자귀나무군락(군락 I)은 상대적으로 해발고가 높은 곳에 위치했고, 주요 수종의 수령은 30년 정도였다. 이 군락은 지속적인 교란으로 식생발달 초기단계의 식생구조를 보였다. 바닷가 인근 평지의 모래토양에 형성된 군락 IV는 주요 수종의 수령이 9년 정도였다. 이 군락은 비교적 최근 인위적으로 교란된 곳에 열악한 환경에 적응력이 강한 왕자귀나무가 유입되어 순림을 형성한 것으로 추측된다. 그 외 군락(II, III)은 왕자귀나무와 낙엽성 참나무류가 서로 경쟁하는 식생상황을 보였으며, 주요 수종의 수령은 13~30년이었다. 상대적으로 식생구조가 발달한 왕자귀나무군락일수록 바닷가 인근에 해발고가 높은 급경사에 위치했다. 식생발달 초기단계에는 임상으로 유입되는 광합성 유효광이 많아 관목층에 왕자귀나무의 치수발생 및 생장량이 높았다. 왕자귀나무는 바닷가 훼손지나 척박한 토양에 적응력이 강해 이러한 곳에 출현할 가능성이 높았다. 하지만, 식생구조가 발달하여 지력이 높을수록 낙엽성 참나무류와의 경쟁에 밀려 왕자귀나무의 세력이 약해졌다.

The structure and dynamics of Korean red pine stands established in the riparian zone were studied in the Tsang stream in Mt. Seorak National Park, in east-central Korea. Pine stands were classified into four successional stages, the initial, establishing, competitive, and stabilizing stages, based on the age distribution of a dominant tree, Pinus densiflora, the vegetation stratification, and the microtopography of the riverine environment. The stages usually corresponded to disturbance frequencies, depending on the horizontal and vertical distances from the watercourse. Stands of the initial and establishing stages lacked tree or subtree layers, or both. As stands progressed through the developmental stages, soil particle size became finer and moisture retention capacity was improved. The stand ordination reflected the developmental stage, and the species ordination differentiated species specializing in relatively dry and wet habitats. The results of the analysis of vegetation dynamics provided ecological information which will be useful for understanding the developmental processes of vegetation established in riparian zones. Species diversity indices usually increased across developmental stages, following the typical pattern for successional processes. We discuss the importance and necessity of riparian vegetation in Korea, where most riparian forests have disappeared due to excessive human land use.

This study was carried out to suggest the baseline data necessary for vegetation restoration at riverine wetland within stream corridor. We used the prevalence index for wetland assessment by applying the method of weighted averages with index values based on five hydrophyte indicator status as defined by estimated probability occurred in wetland. We selected near nature and urbanized reach of Gap and Yanghwa streams as experimental site. Although two sites have some different disturbance and characteristics of watershed, they showed that similarity of vegetation community including three dominant species - Salix koreensis, Phragmites communis, Miscanthus sacchariflorus - was very high. But in case of Yanghwa stream, various kinds of emergent plants along wetted condition were distinctly occurred, resulted from difference of hydrological regime and substrate, etc. Degree of naturalness of vegetation at the sampled areas indicated that near nature area of Gap stream and all area of Yanghwa stream were fitted as riverine wetland, while urbanized area of Gap stream has changed into upland condition. In conclusion assessment system using prevalence index would be considered an effective method for evaluating of natural states of riverine wetland, but further integrated consideration of physical, hydrological, and biological factors of stream process, and also with considering the difference between those qualitative data of vegetation community.

Riparian vegetation gives basic habitats for animal and other biological organisms. It is one of essential landscapes in river ecosystem. This floral study was conducted to give basic information for management of the Geum river ecosystem. We discovered total 69 plant communities out of 40 sites studied and mean 8 plant communities were analysed per study site. Salix koreensis and Salix subfragilis community were dominant of all communities at tree layer and Salix gracilistyla and Rubus parvifolius were dominant communities at shrub layer. Phalaris arundinacea, Phragmites japonica, Miscanthus sacchariflorus and Artemisia princeps var. orientalis appeared most as perennial grasses and Humulus japonicus, Persicaria thunbergii and Persicaria hydropiper appeared most as annual grasses. Robinia pseudoacacia, Amorpha fruticosa and Bidens frondosa were frequently present as exotic species. Grass communities were higher than tree communities because of human disturbance by artificial banks. The number of species was 182 appeared as 53 families 144 species, 34 varieties and 4 forma and mean species number was 25.5 per site. The most abundant site was Yanggang bridge site (14 vegetation association, 49 species) and the least abundant site was Namdaechon, Muju site (3 vegetation association, 12 species). We suggest that continuous riparian vegetation monitoring should be carried out to manage water environment ecologically.

A survey was conducted on the vegetation of Judo and Gamagseum in warm temperate zone of Southern Korea. They are covered with natural vegetation, evergreen forest dominated with Castanopsis cuspiadata in Judo and Machilus thunbergii in Gamagseum. Judo is a small island, ca. 1.75 ha, located within the Wando port. Since the flora of Wando including the Judo was reported in 1924, some investigator have reported evergreen trees of Judo. But the list of plant species of Judo is still unavailable. Gamagseum, located at the 15km morth of Judo, is a small island, ca. 1.45 ha, cosisting of two islands, Dae-o-do and So-o-do in low tide, and the report of its flora and any other survery on its is almost none. The vegetatons of Judo and Gamagseum are an example of natural forest vegetation occured rarely in warm temperate zone because of human disturbance in the southern coast zone of the Korean Peninsula. However, the ecological study of those vegetation has not ever been made, and the ecological or plant geographical situations of their vegetation is not clear. To determine the vegetation type, listing of plant species in the islands, calculation of basal area of trees over DBH=4.5cm, Raunkiaer's life form, leaf size class, Pte.-Q and etc., were studied. Total plant species of Judo was 110 species and that of Gamagseum was 99 species. In Judo, Castanopsis cuspidata was 1384 individuals among 2359 individuals over DBH=4.5cm, and in Gamagseum, Machilus thunbergii was remarkably abundant and Castanopsis cuspidata could not be found.

An invasive disturbance species has caused harm to biodiversity and ecosystem. To address the issue, identifying the characteristics of a habitat for invasive disturbance species is considered for forest management. This study analyzed a status of plant species by field survey based on belt transect method in the capital areas and established a predictive model for invasive disturbance species by logistic regression. As results of the study, the number of herb, vine, and invasive disturbance species and a canopy cover of tree would decrease from the forest edge to core areas (p<0.001). The predictive model was derived with variables of altitude, Topographic Wetness Index, distance to forest edge, and canopy cover of tree. It can be useful in estimating the presence or absence of species and predicting its spatial distribution. Further studies are needed to identify the pathway of introduction, spread, and possibility of germination for understanding the status of invasive disturbance species in more depth.

Landscape structure, habitat types, vegetation structure and biodiversity in the Bokha stream chosen as a reference stream were investigated to get ecological information necessary for restoration of urban stream degraded by excessive artificial interference. Landscape structure showed a slight change between before and after flooding. Habitat types of nine sorts were identified based on ecological information obtained from field survey such as micro-topography, hydrological characteristics, disturbance regime, and so on. Each habitat holds specific organisms to each site. Consequently, the number of plant communities, and species of benthos and fish increased as the kinds of habitat type increase. Ordination of habitat types based on vegetation, benthos, and fish data reorganized them into three groups of pool types of two kinds depending on whether they are connected to the water course or not and riffle one. Vegetation showed different stratification and species composition depending on topographical position in relation to disturbance cycle. Based on the results from this study, relationship between environmental heterogeneity and biodiversity was discussed and a restoration plan was suggested in a viewpoint of vegetation.

A field survey was carried out targeting 59 pine wilt disease control areas distributed in Andong, and the ecological characteristics of the areas affected by pine wilt disease were analyzed using vegetation information, ecological information, and land use information. Vegetation characteristics of Pine wilt disease affected forest area showed a 3-layer vegetation structure, high percentage of accidental occurrence species (37%) and secondary vegetation species (59.6%), appearing 12 taxa naturalized plants and 3 taxa ecosystem disturbance organisms designated by the Ministry of Environment. Ecological information of Pine wilt affected area showed frequent occurrence of water stress in south and west slopes, low lying grounds in mountains, and in well-drained soils. Also, surrounding the area has been used as roads, tombs, and cultivation where intensive human activities were the cause of disturbance and stress to the pine forest. It was analyzed that the pine forest in Andong city suffered extensive damage due to the onset of pine wilt disease while the pine trees were weakened due to continuous human activities. Conclusively, the spread and onset of pine wilt disease are worsened by artificial factors than natural environmental conditions.
