Abstract

The subalpine zone which is vulnerable to climate change could be functioning as a habitat for northern plant species especially in the Korean peninsula. In this study, classification of phytosociological community type and investigation on flora of vascular plants of Daecheongbong area in Mt. Seorak were carried out in order to provide a basic information for an ecological restoration and management of the vegetation through community ecological approach. Vegetation data were collected from 31 of quadrates from May to October, 2016. We analyzed vegetation types with phytosociological method, importance value with Curtis & McIntosh method, CCA using PC-ORD program tool, and flora of vascular plants. As a result, the forest vegetation was classified into Abies nephrolepis community. The community was divided 3 groups such as Pinus pumila group, Rhododendron brachycarpum group and Angelica decursiva group. Therefore, the vegetation had 3 kinds of units. The differential species group, it was classified into total of 7 species group units including Thuja koraiensis and Smilacina bicolor differential species group. The mean importance percentage (MIP) in VU 1 was shown Pinus koraiensis (24.1), A. nephrolepis (23.6) and Betula ermanii (10.5), and in VU 2, it was P. koraiensis (26.2), A. nephrolepis (20.8) and B. ermanii (10.5), and in VU 3, it was P. koraiensis (22.2), A. nephrolepis (16.4), B. ermanii (13.5) in the order, respectively. As for importance values of P. koraiensis and A. nephrolepis representative competition species, were different at each layers. The former (46.7) was higher than the latter (26.1) in tree layer, but the latter was higher than the former in subtree and, shrub and herb layers of VU 1. VU 2 and VU 3 also indicated the same tendency. P. pumila group and A. decursiva group were shown to have positive correlation with altitude and present species, respectively. The designated as the endemic plant was 11 taxa and, as the rare plant 24 taxa and 62.5% of vascular plant was northern plant species. It is necessary to continue further long-term monitoring of 3 vegetation units, IV of main competition species (P. koraiensis and A. nephrolepis) with stratum and main specific species (rare plants and endemic plants) considering vegetation science and, population and community ecology approaches.

기후변화에 취약한 한반도 아고산대는 한대성 북방계식물의 서식처이다. 본 연구는 아고산대 산림의 군집생태학적 접근을 통한 복원 및 관리방안의 기초자료 제공목적으로 설악산 대청봉 일대 산림식생의 군집구조 및 식물상을 구명하였다. 2016년 5월부터 10월까지 31개소의 식생조사를 실시하였고, 식물사회학적 식생유형분류, 중요치, CCA를 분석하였다. 그 결과 식생유형분류체계는 분비나무군락에서 군단위로 눈잣나무군, 만병초군, 바디나물군, 이상 총 3개의 식생유형(VU)으로 분류되었다. 식별종군으로는 눈측백 식별종군, 자주솜대 식별종군을 포함하여 총 7개 종군유형으로 분류되었다. 평균 상대우점치 분석(MIP) 결과, VU 1의 MIP는 잣나무(24.1), 분비나무(23.6), 사스래나무(10.5) 등, VU 2의 MIP는 잣나무(26.2), 분비나무(20.8), 사스래나무(10.5) 등, VU 3의 MIP는 잣나무(22.2), 분비나무(16.4), 사스래나무(13.5) 등의 순이었다. 층위별 주요 경쟁수종인 잣나무와 분비나무의 중요치는 VU 1의 교목층에서 잣나무가 46.7, 분비나무는 26.1로 잣나무가 우세하나 아교목층, 관목층, 초본층에서는 분비나무의 중요치가 잣나무에 비해 높았고, VU 2와 VU 3에서도 교목층은 잣나무의 중요치가 높았지만 아교목층 이하에서는 낮은 값을 나타냈다. CCA ordination 분석 결과, 눈잣나무군은 해발고, 바디나물군은 출현종수와 다소 정의 상관관계를 가지는 것으로 나타났다. 산림청 지정 특산식물은 11분류군, 희귀식물은 24분류군으로 북방계 식물의 비율이 62.5%로 나타났다. 결론적으로 본 연구에서 분류된 3개의 식생단위와 분비나무 및 잣나무의 층위별 중요치 변화에 대한 식생학적 접근의 장기 모니터링이 필요하고, 희귀특산식물에 대한 개체군 및 군집생태학적 관리가 필요할 것으로 사료되었다.
