Abstract

Factors affecting spatial distribution of halophytes were analyzed in June 2012 at the Goraebul coastal dunes. In the Goraebul sand dune, distribution of halophytes was divided into three groups. The first group belonging to Elymus mollis, Carex kobomugi, Calystegia soldanella, Ixeris repens and Glehnia littoralis was distributed in the ridge of primary sand dune and dune slack. The second group belonging to Lathyrus japonicus and Zoysia macrostachya was distributed in the dune slack. The third group belonging to Pinus thunbergii, Vitex rotundifolia and Linaria japonicus was distributed in the pine forest of the secondary sand dune. E. mollis, C. kobomugi, C. soldanella, I. repens and G. littoralis was distributed in relatively unstable habitat of sand dunes due to the large amount of sand movement. V. rotundifolia was distributed in a relatively stable habitat. Factors that have the greatest influence on distribution of halophytes in the Goraebul sand dunes are distance from the seashore, topography, and the pine forest. The Goraebul sand dune is a relatively well-preserved area with minimal human intervention. Therefore, different distribution of physico-chemical factors by natural processes is essential to spatial distribution of halophytes than other sand dunes in Korea. Significant natural processes in the Goraebul sand dunes were advance and retreat of coastlines from waves, erosion and sedimentation of sand due to wind and waves, and dispersal of seawater.

고래불 해안사구에서 2012년 6월에 염생식물의 공간분포에 영향을 주는 요인을 분석하였다. 해안에 인접하여 일차사구가 그리고 초본식생과 송림이 만나는 경계선에 2차사구가 형성되어 있다. 고래불 사구에서 염생식물은 크게 전사구와 사구저지에 분포하는 갯그령, 통보리사초, 갯메꽃, 갯씀바귀 및 갯방풍의 한 그룹, 사구저지에 주로 분포하는 갯완두와 왕잔디의 두 번째 그룹, 그리고 배후사구인 송림 내에 분포하는 곰솔, 순비기나무 및 해란초의 세 번째 그룹으로 구분할 수 있다. 해안으로부터 거리에 따른 염생식물의 분포는 갯씀바귀 - 갯그령 - 통보리사초 - 갯메꽃 - 갯방풍 - 왕잔디 - 갯완두 - 해란초 - 순비기나무의 순이었다. 모래의 이동이 많아서 사구 내에서 비교적 불안정하고 변화가 많은 서식지에는 갯그령, 통보리사초, 갯메꽃, 갯씀바귀 및 갯방풍이 주로 분포하였다. 순비기나무는 안정된 서식지에 분포하였다. 고래불 사구에서 염생식물의 분포에 가장 중요하게 영향을 주는 요인은 해안으로부터 거리, 지형 그리고 송림의 분포라고 결론지을 수 있다. 고래불 사구는 상대적으로 인간의 간섭이 적고 식생이 잘 보전된 지역이다. 따라서 다른 사구 지역에 비해 인간의 간섭보다는 자연적인 과정들에 의한 물리화학적 요인들의 상이한 분포가 염생식물의 공간분포에 더욱 중요하다. 고래불 사구에서 중요한 자연적인 과정들은 파랑에 의한 해안선의 전진과 후퇴, 바람과 파랑으로 인한 모래의 침식과 퇴적 그리고 해수의 산포이다.
