Plant Community Structure Snalysis in Chohangyoung Valley of Soraksan National Park

설악산 국립공원 저항령계곡 식물군집구조

To investigate the plant community structure of Chohangyoung valley in Soraksan National Park, thirty nine plots(each size was 100m$^{2}$) were set up and surveyed and to analyze the plant community characteristics of valley area and slope area, twenty five plots in five sites were set up and surveyed. According to DCA ordination techniques, the communities were six divided into community types, which were Pinus densiflora community, P. densiflora-Populus maximowiczii community, Po. maximowiczii-P. densiflora community, Po. maszimowiczii community, Fraxinus rhyuchophylla community, Quercus serrata community. Q. serrata community was only distrivuted at slope area and the others were distributied at valley area. The successional trend of six communities was not clearly inferred. Shannon's diversity was 0.9458~1.1769(unit area:500m$^{2}$), and soil acidity was pH 4.65~6.09 in surveyed areas. According to the belt-transect analysis, the dominant species of valley area were P. densiflora, Po. maximowiczii, but the dominant species of slope area was Q. serrata.

설악산 국립공원 저항령계곡의 식물군집구조를 분석하기 위하여 39개 조사구를 설정하였으며 아울러 계곡부와 사면부의 식물군집특성을 파악하기 위하여 5개 지역에 25개 조사구(1개 조사구당 100m$^{2}$)를 설정하고 식생조사를 실시하였다. 전체 39개 조사구는 DCA 분석에 의해 소나무군집, 소나무-황철나무군집, 황철나무-소나무군집, 황철나무군집, 물푸레나무군집, 졸참나무군집 6개 군집으로 분리되었고 졸참나무군집만 산림지역 사면부에 분포하였고 나머지 5개 군집은 계곡부에 위치하였다. 식물군집구조 분석결과 천이 예측은 명확하지 않았다. Shannon의 종다양도는 0.9458~1.1769이었고 토양산도는 전지역이 pH 4.65~6.09이었다. Belt-transect 조사분석결과 계곡부의 우점종은 소나무와 황철나무이었으며, 사면부의 우점종은 졸참나무이었다.
