Abstract

Plants Social Network (PSN) was first used in recent studies to incorporate the plant sociology methods for the understanding of plant society with the social network analysis methods that have recently attracted attention in the social science and visualize and analyze a PSN. The process of construction and analysis on PSN proceeds in the order of setting up the survey area, investigating the appearance plants species on plots of 100㎡, analyzing the interspecific association, building the sociogram, and analyzing the network structure and centrality. This study established a PSN by investigating the appearance species after installing 708 plots to include various dominant vegetational physiognomies in Busan Metropolitan City, where coastal and inland vegetation could be observed simultaneously. The survey found a total of 195 species, including 42 species of evergreen, 151 species of deciduous trees, and 2 species of semi-evergreen trees. The interspecies binding analysis was performed with the focus on the total number of species. It showed the number of friendly species in the order of Eurya japonica (47 species), Trachelospermum asiaticum (46 species), Linder glauca (44 species), Sorbus alnifolia (44 species), and Ligustrum japonicum (41 species). Based on it, we generated a sociogram using Gephi 0.9.2 program. The sociogram was divided into groups that appeared mostly on the coast and those that did not, reflecting the geographical distribution characteristics of forest vegetation in Busan. The analysis of the network structured showed 1,709 links and an average of 17.5 species having interspecies binding with a species. The density was 0.09, the diameter was 5, and the average path distance was 2.268. We concluded that various PSNs should be established in the future for precise comparative analysis of network characteristics in the social science field. In the PSN of Busan Metropolitan City, Eurya japonica, Linder glauca, Ligustrum japonicum, and Trachelospermum asiaticum showed high centrality.

식물사회네트워크란 식물사회를 이해하기 위한 기존의 식물사회학적 방법과 사회과학에서 최근에 주목받고 있는 사회연결망 분석 방법을 접목하여 식물사회연결망을 시각화하고 분석하는 것을 말한다. 구축 및 분석 과정은 조사구 설정 및 출현 수종 조사, 종간결합분석, 소시오그램 작성, 네트워크 구조 및 중심성 분석 순으로 진행된다. 식물사회네트워크를 구축하기 위해 본 연구는 해안식생과 내륙식생을 동시에 볼 수 있는 부산광역시를 중심으로 다양한 상관우점식생이 포함되도록 708개 조사구를 설치하여 출현 수종을 조사하였다. 조사 결과, 출현한 수종은 모두 195종이었으며, 상록수 42종, 낙엽수 151종, 반상록수 2종으로 나탔으며, 전체 출현수종을 중심으로 종간결합분석을 실시하였다. 종간결합 분석 결과, 친화종수는 사스레피나무(47종), 마삭줄(46종), 감태나무(44종), 팥배나무(44종), 광나무(41종) 순으로 나타났으며, 이를 바탕으로 gephi 0.9.2. program을 활용하여 소시오그램을 작성하였다. 작성된 소시오그램은 해안에서 주로 출현하는 그룹과 그렇지 않은 그룹으로 나뉘어져 있어 부산광역시 산림식생의 지리적 분포특성을 반영하고 있었다. 네트워크 구조를 분석한 결과, 1,709개의 연결선(link)이 나타났고, 한 수종과 종간결합을 갖는 종수의 평균은 약 17.5개였다. 밀도는 0.09, 지름은 5, 평균 경로거리는 2.268로 분석되었는데, 사회과학분야의 네트워크 특성과 정밀한 비교 분석을 위해 앞으로 다양한 식물사회네트워크 구축이 진행되어야 할 것으로 판단되었다. 부산광역시 식물사회네트워크에서는 사스레피나무, 감태나무, 광나무, 마삭줄 등이 중심성이 높은 것으로 나타났다.
