Abstract

The purpose of this study was to survey structures and growth conditions of Pinus densiflora village groves, and to establish management strategies for their desirable growth and conservation. Twelve village groves were selected in western Gangwon province for the study. The age of the study groves ranged from 50 to 200 years. Average dbh (diameter at breast height) and density of trees for each study grove were 27~52cm and 0.5~9.3 trees/$100m^2$, respectively. Soil environments were favorable to Pinus densiflora growth in the majority of the study groves, but 2 study groves with sandy soils showed considerably poor nutrient contents. Low tree vitality was found in some of the study groves due to poor conditions of root growth from soil fill and trampling. There were detachment of cambial tissue and damage of stem cavity at 6 study groves, which were caused by artificial injury, careless pruning, and frost damage. Light disease damage by Rhizosphaera kalkhoffii and phomopsis blight were found at 6 study groves. Light pest damage by Thecodiplosis japonensis was also found at 6 study groves, but the pest damage at 2 study groves was relatively considerable. Thus, major factors limiting normal growth of Pinus densiflora village groves were infertility, soil fill and trampling, stem damage, and disease and pest. Desirable management strategies were explored to solve growth-related problems and to conserve the study groves. The management strategies included fertilization of organic matter and lime, removal of soil fill, soil plowing and graveling, wood-trail installation or woodchip mulching, supply of wood fences and protective frames, surgical operation for damaged stems, vitality enhancement, and trunk injection to improve growth environments or control stem damage and disease/pest.

본 연구의 목적은 마을 주변의 전통 소나무숲을 선정하여 숲의 구조와 생장실태를 조사하고, 양호한 생장과 보전을 위한 관리방안을 수립하는 것이었다. 연구대상 소나무숲은 강원도 영서지역에 분포하는 12개소를 선정하였다. 숲의 조성시기는 개소별로 최소 50~최대 200년 전이었고, 소나무의 평균 흉고직경과 밀도는 각각 27~52cm, 0.5~9.3주/$100m^2$이었다. 생장기반인 토양환경은 소나무 생장에 대개 양호한 편이었으나, 토성이 사토로서 보비력이 낮은 2개소의 경우 토양양분이 현저하게 낮았다. 일부 숲은 복토, 답압 등으로 인해 근계생장 장해에 따른 수세저하가 나타났다. 수간의 수피탈저 및 공동피해가 6개소에서 발생하였고, 그 원인은 인위적 외상, 전정 부주의, 동해 등이었다. 병해는 그을음잎마름병, 갈색무늬병 등이 6개소에서 발생하였고 피해정도는 경미하였다. 충해의 경우는 솔잎혹파리에 의한 피해로서 피해정도는 6개소에서 경미하였으나, 2개소에서는 상대적으로 더 현저하였다. 이와 같이, 연구대상 소나무숲의 생장저해를 야기하는 주 요인은 양분부족, 복토 및 답압, 수간훼손, 병충해 등이었다. 이들 원인별 문제점을 개선하여 해당 소나무숲을 보전할 관리방안을 모색하였다. 관리방안은 유기물과 석회 시용, 복토 제거, 토양굴기와 자갈포설, 목도설치 또는 우드칩 포장, 목책 및 보호틀 제공, 수간 외과수술, 수세강화, 수간주사 등 생장환경을 개선하거나 수간훼손과 병충해를 제어할 대책을 포함하였다.
