Abstract

The growth characteristics of Pinus thunbergii windbreak forest around Goosipo Beach, Sangha-Myon, Gochang-Gun, Jeollabuk-Do have been investigated, and the results are summarized as follows. The soil in the site was light acid sand with pH 5.7, and the mean sodium concentration of soils was 1.42dS/m. The tree diameter, height, crown width, and shape ratio(Height/DBH) were better with tree density was coming lower. Especially, the rate of shape ratio under 60 was more in sites with low tree density. This demonstrated that the trees have grown more soundly when the tree density was lower. The direction of main winds and distribution ratio of tree inclination had a correlation. The inclined trees are seemed to be influenced by main winds when they were younger and by Typhoon partly. Eighty one vascular plant species were found in the sites, and more number of herbaceous plants (57 taxa) lived there than woody plants (24 taxa). And more plant species of dune were found at the site where dune have developed well. Some thinning works need at high tree density areas in order to ensure effects of coastal windbreak.

전라북도 고창군 상하면 구시포해수욕장 주변에 위치한 곰솔 방풍림을 대상으로 곰솔림의 생장특성을 조사 하였는 바, 그 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 곰솔림의 토양은 모래의 함량이 많은 사토이고, 약산성(pH 5.73)이며, 토양염분농도는 1.42dS/m이다. 곰솔의 흉고직경, 수고, 수관폭, 형상비(수고/흉고직경)는 저밀도 임분, 중밀도 임분, 고밀도 임분의 순으로 양호하였고, 절간생장량은 고밀도 임분일수록 많았다. 특히 저밀도 입목밀도가 낮을수록 수관폭이 크고, 형상비 60 이하인 수목의 비율이 많았다. 이것은 입목밀도가 낮을수록 수목이 건전하게 생장하고 있음을 나타내는 것이다. 많은 수목이 여러 방향으로 기울어져 생육하고 있는데, 이것은 대부분의 수목이 생장 초기 단계에 바람의 영향을 받은 것이고 일부는 태풍의 영향을 받은 것으로 분석되었다. 수목의 기울기 방향의 분포율이 이 지역의 주풍방향과 상관성이 있는 것으로 분석되었다. 이 지역의 모래언덕과 곰솔림 내부에는 총 81분류군의 관속식물이 생육하고 있으며, 목본식물(24분류군)보다 초본류(57분류군)가 더 많았다. 사구식물의 경우 모래언덕이 잘 발달해 있는 명사십리 구역에는 10종류가 출현하였는데, 방파제 축조로 인해 모래언덕이 형성되지 않은 구시포해수욕장 구역은 3종의 사구식물만이 간헐적으로 출현하였다. 이 지역의 곰솔림이 건전하게 성장하고 유지되어 해안방풍림으로서의 기능을 충분히 발휘할 수 있게 하기 위해서는 고밀도와 중밀도 임분에 대한 적정한 간벌이 필요한 상태이다.
