본 연구는 진주 남강변의 식물상 조사를 통하여 남강 수변지역의 식생 관리방안 도출에 필요한 기초정보를 제공하기 위하여 실시하였다. 식물상 조사는 총 5개 지역(Ⅰ: 진양호~천수교, Ⅱ: 천수교~진양교, Ⅲ: 진양교~상평교, Ⅳ: 남강교~금산교, Ⅴ: 대곡면~장박교)으로 나누어 실시하였다. 관속식물은 98과 320속 496종 1아종 43변종 9품종, 총 549종이 출현하였으며, 이는 우리나라 관속식물 4,881종의 약 11.2%에 해당한다. 벼과가 69종(12%)으로 가장 많이 출현하였으며, 다음으로 국화과 57종(10.4%), 콩과 35종(6.4%), 사초과 28종(5.1%), 장미과 25종(4.6%)의 순이었다. 지표식물은 30종(5.47%)이 출현 하였으며, 이중에서 일년생과 반지중식물의 비율이 높은 것으로 나타났다. 일년생식물은 159종(29%), 지중식물은 58종(10.5%), 반지중식물은 109종(19.8%)이 출현하였다. 지상식물은 관목 41종(7.48%), 아교목 32종(5.83), 교목 65종(11.8%)이 출현하였다. 수생식물과 착생식물은 각각 50종(9.12%)과 4종(0.72%)이 출현하였다. 희귀식물은 10과 10속 9종 1변종 10분류군이 출현하였으며, 구계학적특정식물은 37과 50속 52종 2변종으로 총 54분류군이 출현하였다. 한국특산식물은 8과 9속 10종으로 총 10분류군, 귀화식물은 22과 57속 73종 3변종 총 76분류군, 생태계 교란종은 총 5과 8속 8종 1변종으로 총 9분류군이 출현하였다.

The goal of this study is to provide the basic vegetation information necessary for the vegetation management plan of Namgang river side. Survey of the flora was carried out vegetation survey on 5 routes. A total of 549 taxa comprising of 98 families, 320 genus, 496 species, 1 subspecies, 43 varieties and 9 forma were investigated and it corresponds to about 11.2% of 4,881 vascular plant species in Korean peninsular. Gramineae was the most abundant as 69 species (12%), followed by Compositae as 57 species (10.4%), Leguminosae as 35 species (6.4%), Cyperaceae as 28 species (5.1%), and Rosaceae as 25 species (4.6%). A total of 30 indicator plants appeared. Annual plants, geophyte, and hemicryptophyte were 159 species (29%), 58 species (10.5%), and 109 species (19.8%), respectively. Shrub, subtree, and tree species were 41 (7.48%), 32 (5.83%), and 65 species (11.8%), respectively. A total of 50 taxa (9.12%) of aquatic plants and a total of 4 taxa (0.72%) of epiphyte were surveyed. A total of 10 taxa of rare plants comprising of 10 families, 10 genus, 9 species, and 1 variety were investigated. The floristic special plants were investigated to be 54 taxa including 37 families, 50 genus, 52 species, and 2 varieties. A total of 10 taxa of endemic plants to Korea were found. Naturalized plant species were 76 taxa including 22 families, 57 genus, 73 species, and 3 varieties in this area. A total of 9 taxa of invasive alien species including 5 families, 8 genus, and 1 variety were investigated.
