Abstract

Baekdudaegan field survey has been proposed and presented as a various plan such as field survey analysis, management and restoration plan, etc. Whereas, the concerns of the Jeongmaek has increased continuously, nevertheless there is no research of present condition for Jeongmaek. This paper is to contribute to suggest for management and restoration as a basic study of vegetation structure in Yongso valley. We set up 30 plots($100m^2$) to verify the vegetation structure. As a result of classification analysis used by DCA, the type of 5 communities i.e. Pinus densiflora community, Betula schmidtii community, Populus maximowiczii community, Quercus mongolica community, Q. variabilis community were the most representative of Yongso valley vegetation communities. P. densiflora community was mainly distributed in the ridge of mountain, ridge of steep slope and stony area. In that reason, they avoid to compete with B. schmidtii community and Q. spp. community. In addition, the appearance of Rhododendron micranthum was mainly characteristics in the P. densiflora community. Species diversity indices(H') of groups were ranged from 0.7914~0.9942, the tree ages were 30~115 years. According to these results, the forests of Yongso valley not only form muti-layer vegetation structures but also have a great ecological value for protection and preservation.

백두대간에 대한 관심은 현황조사 및 분석, 관리 및 복원 방안 등 다양한 연구결과를 도출한 반면, 지맥인 정맥에 대한 관심은 증가하고 있으나 현황연구는 없는 상태이다. 본 연구는 향후 관리 및 복원방안을 제안하기 위한 기초연구로서 낙동정맥 중 용소골의 식생구조를 밝히고자 $10m{\times}10m(100m^2)$ 조사구 30개소를 설치하여 조사하였다. 상대우점치 및 평균상대우점치에 의한 군집분류 결과 소나무군집, 박달나무군집, 황철나무군집, 신갈나무군집, 굴참나무군집의 5개 유형이 용소골 계곡을 대표하는 군집이었다. 소나무군집은 능선부에 주로 분포하며 꼬리진달래가 출현하는 것이 특징이었고 박달나무군집은 참나무류와 경쟁을 피할 수 있는 능선부 급경사지와 완만한 전석지에 분포하였다. 단위면적당($400m^2$) 종다양도는 0.7914~0.9442이었으며 수령은 30~115년으로 층위구조가 형성된 보호가치가 있는 숲이었다.
