Abstract

This study was conducted to select the indicator species (plant) according to the topographical characteristics in the Picea jezoensis forests, endangered subalpine coniferous trees. In South Korea and China (close to Baekdusan), the southern tree line limit of Picea jezoensis has meaningful geographical and latitudinal values for analyzing the ecological characteristics of P. jezoensis forests. Latitude greatly affects the geographical values of plant ecology, and the difference in latitude and habitat affects the change in species composition in forests. With prolonged environmental change, the habitat of subalpine plants will become smaller, and the plants may become extinct. As the P. jezoensis forests of South Korea and China, in particular, are in danger of disappearing without protection, it is important to monitor the population and develop a conservation strategy. Eighty-seven circular plots were established in P. jezoensis forests in South Korea and China. Through processes such as MRPP-test and NMS ordination, indicator species were selected based on this, and basic data for biodiversity assessment were presented. As a result of the Indicator Species Analysis (ISA), 5 taxa were selected from the upperstory vegetation and 18 taxa from the understory vegetation at the altitude(p<0.05). Indicator species by aspect were analyzed as 3 taxa for upperstory vegetation and 16 taxa for understory vegetation (p<0.05). In the case of indicator species according to the slope, 6 taxa for upper vegetation and 24 taxa for understory vegetation were selected(p<0.05). As for the indicator species according to their habitat, 8 taxa in upper vegetation and 65 taxa on understory vegetation were selected. As a result of MRPP-test, it was analyzed that the species composition was heterogeneous in the group of understory vegetation than that of upperstory vegetation. As a result of NMS ordination, the correlation with environmental factors of indicator species was analyzed by rock exposure for upperstory vegetation and latitude for understory vegetation (cut off level=0.3).

이번 연구는 멸종위기에 처한 아고산 침엽수인 가문비나무의 지형특성에 따른 지표종을 선정하고, 생물다양성 평가에 필요한 과학적 근거자료를 마련하고자 진행되었다. 남한과 중국 내 가문비나무림은 남방한계선으로 지리적 가치가 높은 지역이다. 위도는 식물생태계의 지리적 가치에 큰 영향을 미치며, 위도와 서식지의 차이는 산림의 종구성 변화에 영향을 미친다. 지리적 차이뿐 아니라 환경변화로 아고산 식물서식지는 점차 쇠퇴하여 결국 멸종위기에 처한다. 이러한 측면에서, 지리적 가치가 높은 한국과 중국의 가문비나무림에 대한 개체군 모니터링으로 지표종을 선정할 필요가 있으며, 지표종에 대한 다양한 분석을 통해 생물다양성 평가의 기초자료를 구축할 필요가 있다. 개체군 모니터링은 한국과 중국의 가문비나무림에 87개의 원형조사구(400m2)를 설치하여 수행하였고, MRPP-test, NMS ordination 등의 과정을 통해 이에 근거하여 지표종을 선정 한 후 생물다양성 평가의 기초자료를 제시하였다. 지표종분석(Indicator Species Analysis) 결과, 해발고도별 지표종으로 상층식생에서 5분류군, 하층식생에서 18분류군을 선정하였다(p<0.05). 사면방위별 지표종으로는 상층식생 3분류군, 하층식생 16분류군을 선정하였다(p<0.05). 사면경사도별 지표종으로는 상층식생 6분류군, 하층식생 24분류군을 선정하였다(p<0.05). 자생지별 지표종으로는 상층식생 8분류군과 하층식생 65분류군을 선정하였다. 지표종들에 대한 MRPP-test 결과, 상층식생보다 하층식생에서 종조성이 다소 이질적인 것으로 분석되었다. NMS ordination 결과, 상층식생의 암석노출도와 하층식생의 위도에 따라 지표종의 환경적 요인과의 상관관계가 유의한 것으로 나타났다.
