Abstract

This study was carried out to classify the current forest cover types and to propose the successional trends in the natural forest of Mt. Deogyu. The vegetation data were collected by the point-centered quarter method. The forest cover types were classified by various multivariate statistical analysis methods such as cluster analysis, indicator species analysis and multiple discriminant analysis. This forests were classified into five forest types by the species composition of upper layer and topographic positions: Quercus mongolica forest in the ridge, Fraxinus mandushurica-F. rhynchophylla-Cornus controversa forest and F. mandushurica forest in the valley, the Q. serrata - Pinus densiflora - Q. mongolica forest and P. densiflora forest in the low-slope. As a result of the forest successional trends depending on ecological and environmental characteristics in each forest type, the current forest types were expected that the forest succession would be proceeded toward Q. mongolica forest, F. mandshurica forest, mixed mesophytic forest, and oak-Carpinus laxiflora forest.

덕유산 백암봉 일대의 천연림을 대상으로 산림형을 구분하고, 각 산림형별 생태적 특성을 파악하여 천이경향을 제시하였다. 사분각법을 이용하여 225개의 표본점에서 식생자료를 수집하였으며, 다양한 다변량 통계분석(Cluster분석, 지표종분석, 다중판별분석 등)을 실시하여 산림형을 구분하였다. 그 결과, 연구대상지는 5개의 산림형으로 분류되었고, 상층의 우점비율 및 입지환경에 따라 능선부에서는 신갈나무림, 계곡부에서는 들메나무-물푸레나무-층층나무림과 들메나무림, 사면하부에서는 졸참나무-소나무-신갈나무림, 소나무림 등이 분포하여 입지조건에 따라 수종구성 차이가 뚜렷한 것으로 나타났다. 산림유형별 생태적, 환경적 특성을 근거로 천이경향을 추정한 결과, 현재의 산림형은 신갈나무림, 들메나무림, 중생혼합림, 참나무-서어나무림 등으로 천이가 진행될 것으로 예상되었다.
