Abstract

This research carried out forest community classification on the basis of the methods of ZM school, in order to furnish useful information needed for forest management, and for afforestation and preservations of Abies koreana forest which was Korean native species, and the research results could be summarized as follows. Abies koreana forest was divided into 10 vegetation units ; This forest was divided into Abies koreana-Quercus mongolica community and Abies koreana-Sasa quelpartensis community. Abies koreana-Quercus mongolica community was divided into Tripterygium regelii group, Patrinia saniculaefolia group, and Typical group, and Tripterygium regelii group seas divided into Typical subgroup. Pimpinella brachycarpa subgroup, and Hemirocallis fulva subgroup. Abies koreana-Sasa quelpartensis community was divided into Berberis koreana group, Trachelospermum asiaticum var. intermedium group, and Typical group. Berberis koreana group was divided into Typical subgroup and Hepatica asiatica subgroup, and Tranchelospermum asiaticum var. intermedium group was divided into Hepatica asiatica subgroup and Typical subgroup. According to the results of the analysis by coincidence method, Abies koreana-Quercus mongolica community represented in Mt. Chiri, Mt. Deokyu and Mt. Kaya which were located in the Sobaek mountains, Abies koreana-Sasa quelpartensis community represented in Mt. Hanla. Therefore it was thought that Abies koreana forest was classified by geographical position, and vegetation units of Abies koreana forest tended to be classified by the altitude and topography. As for DBH and height of Abies koreana, mean DBH and height of Abies koreana-Quercus mongolica community were each 28.4cm, 10.6m that were larger than mean DBH and mean height(each 23.6cm, 6.3m) of Sasa quelpartensis community. Among Abies koreana-Quercus mongolica community, Patrinia saniculae-folia group had the smallest mean DBH and mean height(20cm, 5m), and among Abies koreana-Sasa quelpartensis community, Typical group had the smallest mean DBH and mean height(4cm, 3m).

우리나라 특산 수종인 구상나무림(林)의 보존과 조림 및 임업경영에 필요한 정보를 체계화 시킬 목적으로 ZM방식을 통한 군락분류를 하였던 바 다음과 같이 요약할 수 있었다. 구상나무림(林)은 구상나무-신갈나무군락과 구상나무 제주조릿대군락으로 구분되었으며 구상나무 신갈나무군락은 미역줄나무군, 금마타리군 및 전형군으로 구분되었고, 미역줄나무군은 전형소군, 참나물소군 미 원추리 소군으로 구분되었다. 구상나무-제주조릿대군락은 매발톱나무군, 마삭줄군 및 전형군으로 구분되었으며 매발톱나무군은 전형소군과 노루귀소군으로, 마삭줄근은 노루귀소군과 전형소군으로 구분되는 등 총 10개의 식생단위로 구분되었다. 일치법으로 검토한 바 구상나무-신갈나무군락은 소백산맥에 위치하는 지리산, 덕유산, 가야산에서 출현하였고, 구상나무-제주조릿대군락은 한라산에서 출현하는 등 지리적으로 구분되었고, 군락단위간에는 해발과 지형이 복합적으로 영향을 미치는 경향이었다. 식생단위와 구상나무의 흉고직경 및 수고간에는 구상나무-신갈나무군락의 평균흉고직경과 평균수고가 각각 28.4cm, 10.6m로서 구상나무-제주조릿대군락의 평균흉고직경과 수고가 23.6cm, 6.3m인데 비하여 큰 편이었고 구상나무-신갈나무군락 중에서는 금마티리군이 평균흉고직경과 수고가 20cm, 5m로서 가장 작었으며, 구상나무-제주조릿대군락 중에서는 전형군의 평균흉고직경과 수고가 4cm와 3m로서 가장 작았다.
