Abstract

The species of Corydalis cornupetala Y.H.Kim et J.H.Jeong Which is belong to the Corydaliaceae is only distributed at the Gyaejeong Forest in Gyeongsan. As one of the spring ephemeral plants, this species has limited growing period. The present study is on site characteristics and vegetation structure in the wild habitats of Corydalis cornupetala Y.H.Kim et J.H.Jeong and offers basic information on habitat conservation including recovery plan. The soil texture is silty loam and soil acidity is ranged as pH 5.4~5.9. The electric conductivity was 0.22-0.50 ds/m and soil organic content is ranged as 7.61~15.78 %. Fifty nine vascular plants were identified from 5 quadrats. According to the two way cluster analysis applied by the PC-ORD, the community was classified as Acer ginnala, Vicia amoena and Stellaria aquatica. The habitat of Corydalis cornupetala Y.H.Kim et J.H.Jeong was determined by the dissimilarity indices rather than the species number of appearance. Species diversity was 1.26, and dominance and evenness were found to be 0.08 and 0.92, respectively.

쇠뿔현호색은 현호색과 현호색속 현호색절의 다년생 초본으로 우리나라 경산시 계정숲에만 제한적으로 분포하는 특산식물종이며, 춘계단명식물로 제한된 생육기간과 자원으로 생활전략을 가지고 있다. 본 연구는 쇠뿔현호색(Corydalis cornupetala Y.H.Kim et J.H.Jeong) 개체군을 대상으로 자생지의 입지 특성과 식생구조를 파악하여 쇠뿔현호색 개체군 및 생태연구에 대한 기틀을 마련하고 자생지 보전을 위한 복원 계획 수립의 기초 자료를 제공하고자 한다. 토성은 미사질식양토이며, 토양산도는 pH 5.4~5.9로 약산성, 전기전도도는 0.22~0.50ds/m, 토양유기물함량은 7.61~15.78%로 나타났다. 토양분석결과 양이온치환용량이 우리나라 산림토양의 평균치보다 높게 나타났는데, 이는 방형구에서 유독 칼슘과 마그네슘의 함량이 높게 나타난 결과라 사료된다. 식생분석결과 5개 방형구 내에서 조사된 관속식물은 총 59분류군이었다. 군락분류의 경우 PC-ORD를 이용한 이단계 군락분석 결과 신나무, 갈퀴나물 및 쇠별꽃 군락으로 분류되었다. 쇠뿔현호색의 자생지는 출현종의 수보다는 우점하는 종의 상이성에 따라 집단의 유연관계가 결정되었다. 종다양도는 평균 1.26로 산출되었으며, 우점도와 균등도는 각각 0.08와 0.92이었다.
