Abstract

As being actual physiognomical vegetation on Daegwang sand dune in Imjado, the widest area is occupied by Pinus thunbergii community planted as windbreak forest whereas those communities such as Robinia pseudoacacia community, Elymus mollis community, Imperata cylindrica var. koenigii - Elymus mollis community, Carex kobomugi community, Ischaemum antephoroides community, Imperata cylindrica var. koenigii community, Phragmites communis community, Imperata cylindrica var. koenigii - Calamagrostis epigeios community occupy as band shape or patch. According to the result of the data collected and analyzed based on phytosociological method regarding 74 plots of survey area, the species composition of Daegwang sand dune vegetation is classified total 10 vegetation units comprises 7 communities and 5 groups. The 7 communities are classified into Pinus thunbergii community, Robinia pseudoacacia community, Rosa rugosa var. rugosa community, Ischaemum antephoroides community, Carex kobomugi community, Calamagrostis epigeios community, and the sub-units of Pinus thunbergii communities are classified into 3 groups of Pteridium aquilinum var. latiusculum group, Elymus mollis group, Pinus thunbergii topical group and the sub-units of Calamagrostis epigeios communities are classified into 2 groups of Phragmites communis group, Calamagrostis epigeios tipical group. The zonation of vegetation from coastal line indicated with the order of Elymus mollis - Carex kobomugi, Carex pumila, Lathyrus japonicus - Calystegia soldanella - Vitex rotundifolia, Lathyrus japonicus, Ischaemum antephoroides - Rosa rugosa var. rugosa. According to the analysis result of longitudinal section, it was found to be those types with wide width herbaceous vegetation of foredune, smooth slope of foredune, lots of dune ridges with no structure were less vulnerable to erosion of sand dune and advantageous to its recovery.

임자도 대광사구의 현존상관식생은 해안 방풍림으로 조성된 곰솔군락이 가장 넓게 분포하고 아까시나무군락, 갯그령군락, 띠-갯그령군락, 통보리사초군락, 갯쇠보리군락, 띠군락, 갈대군락, 띠-산조풀군락이 띠모양 또는 파편화로 분포하였다. 조사지점 74개소에 대해 식물사회학적 방법으로 자료를 수집 및 분석한 결과, 대광사구식생의 종조성은 7개군락, 5개군으로 총 10개 식생단위로 유형화되었다. 7개 군락은 곰솔군락, 갯그령군락, 아까시나무군락, 해당화군락, 갯쇠보리군락, 통보리사초군락, 산조풀군락으로 구분되었으며, 곰솔군락의 하위단위로 고사리군, 갯그령군, 곰솔전형군의 3개군과 산조풀군락의 하위단위로 갈대군, 산조풀전형군의 2개군으로 구분되었다. 종의 해안선으로부터 대상분포는 갯그령 - 통보리사초, 좀보리사초 - 갯완두 - 갯메꽃 - 순비기나무, 갯완두, 갯쇠보리 - 해당화 순으로 나타났다. 종단면을 분석한 결과, 전사구의 초본식생의 폭이 넓고, 전사구 전면부의 경사가 완만하며, 사구열이 많고, 구조물이 없는 유형이 사구의 침식에 덜 취약하고, 회복에 유리한 것으로 나타났다.
