Abstract

Deutzia paniculata is an endemic species to the Korean Peninsula. Despite of importance for conservation, the population structure and habitat characteristics of D. paniculata have not been determined yet. We analyzed the ecological characteristics of the species based on the literature review and field survey. Field survey was conducted on May to October 2014 during which 11 quadrats of size $15{\times}15m$ were studied in six regions. Each of the quadrats were further divided into $5{\times}5m$ small quadrats and population characteristics were recorded. The population and habitat characteristics were analyzed, including species abundance (density and coverage), demographic attributes (flowering rates and fruiting plants), vegetation (structure, species composition), light availability (transmitted light and canopy openness) and soil characteristics (temperature and humidity). We found that D. paniculata mainly distributed in Gyeongsangdo (including Taebaek in Gangwondo) along a broad elevational range of 290~959 m (mean: 493 m) above sea level. In preferred habitat the species grows within the slope range of $7^{\circ}$ and $35^{\circ}$ with the average of $16^{\circ}$. D. paniculata was generally distributed on talus deposits and low adjacent slopes. The average number of individual plants per small quadrat was 12.5 with the mean density $0.5stems\;m^{-2}$. The vegetative reproduction was frequent in D. paniculata and mean flowering rate was as low as 15%. Altogether 138 taxa were found in whole observation area with the dominant tree species mainly spring ephemerals, such as Cornus controversa (importance value: 25.5%) and Fraxinus rhynchophylla (importance value: 15.8%). Although, C. controversa usually grows on steep slopes and F. rhynchophylla mostly distributed at high-altitudes, however, both species distributed in disturbed environments and among talus deposits. Thus based on our results, we concluded that D. paniculata is a disturbance-prone species, primarily existing in habitats subjected to natural disturbances, such as floods. The species occurs less at anthropogenically disturbed sites, thus there is no apparent threat to the populations and habitat of D. paniculata.

꼬리말발도리는 한반도 특산식물임에도 불구하고 종의 분포, 개체군 및 자생지 특성, 그리고 이것에 기초한 종 보전 연구를 찾아보기 어렵다. 본 연구는 꼬리말발도리를 대상으로 종 분포 및 생태 특성을 분석하였다. 꼬리말발도리의 분포 특성은 문헌, 표본 및 현장 조사 자료를 참고하였다. 현장 조사는 6개 지역에서 11개의 대방형구 ($15{\times}15m$)와 33개 소방형구 ($5{\times}5m$)의 자생 집단을 대상으로 2014년 5월부터 10월까지 실시하였다. 개체군 특성으로 풍부성(밀도, 피도), demographic 속성 (개화율 및 결실율)이 조사되었으며, 자생지 특성으로 식생 (구조 및 종조성), 임내광량 (광량, 수관열림도) 및 토양 (온 습도, 이화학 속성) 특성을 분석하였다. 꼬리말발도리는 경상도 (강원도 태백 포함)가 분포 중심이었으며, 넓은 해발 분포 범위 (평균 493 m, 및 해발 290~959 m 범위)를 나타내었다. 꼬리말발도리 자생지의 평균 사면경사는 $16^{\circ}$ ($7{\sim}35^{\circ}$ 범위)이었으며, 주로 너덜 계곡 입지 및 그곳과 접한 사면하부에 분포하였다. 꼬리말발도리 개체군의 소방형구 ($5m{\times}5m$) 내에서 평균 12.5개체가 출현하였고, $m^2$당 평균밀도는 0.5를 보였다. 평균 개화율은 15%로 낮은 개화율을 보이며 영양생식에 의한 번식이 빈번히 이루어지는 것으로 판단된다. 꼬리말발도리 자생지의 조사구 수준 식물상은 138분류군이었다. 꼬리말발도리 자생지의 식생은 너덜 입지환경을 잘 반영하는 층층나무 (중요치 25.5%) 및 물푸레나무 (중요치 15.8%)가 우점하는 서식지로 나타났다. 층층나무 유형은 급경사 지역, 그리고 물푸레나무 유형은 주로 높은 해발고도에 분포하는 특성이 관찰되었다. 연구 결과, 꼬리말발도리는 인간 활동보다는 범람과 같은 자연 교란, 기후변화 및 진화 생태학적인 요인에 의해 개체수의 변동이 예상되는 종으로 판단되며, 개체군 및 자생지의 지속성을 위협하는 뚜렷한 증거는 찾아볼 수 없었다.
