Study of Dominance-Diversity on Quercus mongolica Forests in Kangwon-do

강원도 신갈나무 군락의 우점도 다양성에 관한 연구

The objective of this study was to analyze dominance-diversity of Quercus mongolica community which characterize the boreal-temperate deciduous forest in Korea. Employing the releve method of Muller-Domboes and Ellenberg, 100 quadrats were sampled in the natural forest of Mt. Odae, Mt. Chumbong and Mt. Jungwang in Kangwon-do, where Quercus mongolica community is in the situation of climax or subclimax. On the basis of Braun-Blanquet method, field survey, which accounts ffor the characters of the species structure of Quercus mongolica community, was carried out between 1991 and 1994. Quercus mongolica community was relatively in a stable condition because of the even distribution of its various indices: the species diversity index was 0.4~1.2; the species richness index was 2~11; the evenness index was 0.6~0.9. The dominance-diversity curve were comparatively of lognormal distrivution with a gentle slope in all communities. The species sewuence curve for Quercus mongolica - Lindera obtusiloba community had relatively a steep slope, which meant that the evenness of the community would be low. The species sequence curve for Quercus mongolica - Carpinus cordata community had a slow slope, which meant that the evenness and the stability of the community would be high.

본 연구는 강원도 오대산, 점봉산, 중왕산 지역의 신갈나무림을 대상으로 우점도 다양성 지수를 조사하였다. 신갈나무 군락은 종다양도 지수가 0.4~1.2, 종풍부도 지수가 2~11, 균재도 지수가 0.6~0.9로 어느 한 값에 치우치지 않는 것으로 나타나 비교적 안정된 상태의 것으로 판단된다. 종서열 중요치 곡선은 모든 군락에서 대수정규분포에 접근하고 있으며, 비교적 기울기가 완만하였다. 그리고 신갈나무-생강나무 군락의 기울기가 비교적 급하게 나타나 균등성이 낮았으며, 신갈나무-까치박달나무 군락의 종서열 중요치 곡선의 기울기가 완만하게 나타나 균등성이 높고 군락의 안정성이 클 것으로 판단된다.
