Abstract

This study was carried out to analyze the vegetation properties, soil characteristics, and ordination of Stewartia koreana community of Mt. Jirisan in Korea. The S. koreana community was classified into S. koreana-Quercus mongolica serrata community, S. koreana-Quercus mongolica community, and Typical community. In specific, S. koreana-Q. serrata community was classified into two subgroups such as Carpinus laxiflora subcommunity and typical subcommunity. The S. koreana community was found out to be located at an elevation of 409m to 1,604m. The Results of importance value on the S. koreana community consisted of the following in order: 75.47% of S. koreana, the highest, 21.83% of Q. serrata, 18.65% of Q. mongolica, 18.19% of Acer pseudosieboldianum, 10.56% of Rhododendron schlippenbachii, 10.36% of Styrax japonicus. In the targeted study sites, soil organic matter, total nitrogen, available phosphate, exchangeable potassium, soil moisture and soil pH were 3.15~39.1%, 0.37~11.7%, 0.9~45.4mg/kg, $0.09{\sim}1.48cmol^+/kg$, 19.28~55.47% and 4.08~5.65, respectively. The results of the correlation between communities and soil conditions of S. koreana community by DCCA ordination method are as follows: S. koreana-Q. serrata community was found in the highest elevation and followed in order S. koreana typical community, S. koreana-Q. serrata typical subcommunity, and C. laxiflora subcommunity.

본 연구는 지리산지역의 노각나무림을 대상으로 식물사회학적 방법으로 군락을 분류하고, 식생과 토양과의 상관관계를 밝히고자 구배분석을 실시하였다. 노각나무림은 노각나무-졸참나무군락, 노각나무-신갈나무군락, 노각나무전형군락으로 분류되었으며, 노각나무-졸참나무군락은 서어나무아군락과 전형아군락으로 구분되었다. 노각나무는 해발고 409m에서 최고 1,604m까지 자생하였다. 노각나무군락의 중요치 분석결과 노각나무가 75.47%로 가장 높았으며, 졸참나무 21.83%, 신갈나무 18.65%, 당단풍나무 18.19%, 철쭉 10.56%, 때죽나무 10.36% 순으로 나타났다. 본 조사지의 토양분석 결과 평균적으로 유기물함량 3.15~39.1%, 전질소함량 0.37~11.7%, 유효인산함량 0.9~45.4mg/kg, 치환성 양이온 $K^+$ $0.09{\sim}1.48cmol^+/kg$, 토양 수분 19.28~55.47%, 토양 pH는 4.08~5.65인 것으로 조사되었다. DCCA ordination을 이용한 노각나무군락과 환경요인과의 상관관계 분석결과, 해발고에 의해 노각나무-신갈나무군락, 노각나무전형군락, 노각나무-졸참나무전형아군락, 서어나무아군락 순으로 분포하였다.
