Abstract

This study was conducted to suggest vegetation management plan for Gugok landscape maintenance and improvement by deducing the vegetation landscape factors inherent in Yongha Gugok and understanding vegetation structure through the investigate of existing vegetation and plant community structure of Yongha valley in Woraksan National Park. There were broad and flat rocks, natural layered stones, clear water, light stones, stream, valleys, waterfalls, Pinus densiflora and Acer pseudosieboldianum as a result of deducing natural factors on poetry. There were P. densiflora and A. pseudosieboldianum appeared as one of main vegetation landscape elements. The actual vegetation analysis results were as followed. The natural vegetation occupied 67.5% and it was classified as P. densiflora community, Quercus variabilis community, Q. variabilis-P. densiflora community, Q. variabilis-Q. serrata community, Q. serrata community, Q. mongolica community, Q. mongolica-P. densiflora community, Deciduous broad-leaved tree community. The artificial vegetation(18.7%) was classified as Q. serrata community-Larix kaempferi community, Q. mongolica- Castanea crenata community, L. kaempferi community, L. kaempferi-C. crenata community, fruticeta, L. kaempferi-Q. mongolica community. The grassland area(2.0%) was classified as Miscanthus sinensis community, Phragmites communis community, and other areas were classified as landscape tree planting area, farm, orchard, residential area. The representative vegetation were P. densiflora community, Q. variabilis-Q. serrata community, L. kaempferi community, Deciduous broad-leaved tree community in Yongha Gugok. The species diversity index of Shannon was 0.6274~0.9908 on the whole. Yongha Gugok, as a symbol of succession on confucianism and reverence for nature, should be preserved natural valley landscape being clean and wijungchuksa at the end of Joseon Dynasty and Japanese Colonial era. In this historical and cultural Gugok, vegetation landscape management plan is needed to landscape maintenance with P. densiflora community, density control with L. kaempferi community. And it is considered when natural disasters and artificial damages happened, P. densiflora-oriented vegetation restoration plan should be applied in order to restore.

본 연구는 월악산국립공원 용하계곡을 대상으로 용하구곡 시문에 내재되어 있는 식생경관 요소를 도출하고, 현존식생, 식물군집구조를 조사하여 식생구조를 파악, 국립공원 내 구곡경관의 유지 및 개선을 위한 식생 관리방안을 제시하고자 하였다. 시문을 통하여 자연경관요소를 도출한 결과, 너럭바위, 자연첩석, 맑은 물, 밝은 돌, 시냇물, 골짜기, 폭포, 소나무, 당단풍으로 나타났으며, 주요 식생경관 요소로서 소나무와 당단풍으로 도출되었다. 현존식생 조사 결과, 자연식생은 67.5%로 소나무군집, 굴참나무군집, 굴참나무-소나무군집, 굴참나무-졸참나무군집, 졸참나무군집, 신갈나무군집, 신갈나무-소나무군집, 낙엽활엽수군집으로 분류되었다. 인공식생(18.7%)은 졸참나무-일본잎갈나무군집, 신갈나무-밤나무군집, 일본잎갈나무군집, 일본잎갈나무-밤나무군집, 관목림, 일본잎갈나무-신갈나무군집이 분류되었으며, 초지지역(2.0%)은 참억새군집, 갈대군집, 기타지역(11.9%)은 조경수식재지, 밭, 과수원, 주거지역으로 구분되었다. 용하구곡의 대표식생은 소나무군집, 굴참나무-졸참나무군집, 일본잎갈나무군집, 낙엽활엽수군집이었으며 Shannon의 종다양도는 전체적으로 0.6274~0.9908이었다. 용하구곡은 도통계승과 자연애의 표상이며, 조선말과 일제강점기의 위정척사사상이 담겨있는 청정지역으로 자연성이 높은 계곡경관의 보전이 이루어져야 한다. 이와 같은 역사 문화적 구곡의 식생경관 관리방안을 위하여 소나무군집은 경관유지, 일본잎갈나무군집은 자연천이 유도를 위한 밀도관리가 필요하며, 자연재해 및 인위적 훼손시, 계곡부 식생복원을 위하여 역사 문화적 식생경관인 소나무 중심의 식생복원계획이 적용되어져야 할 것으로 사료되었다.
