소백산 천동계곡 삼림의 식물군집구조분석을 위하여 20개소에 조사구(1개조사구당 20×25m)를 설정하고 식생조사를 실시하여 얻은 자료에 대하여 TWINSPAM에 의한 classification과 DCA ordination기법을 적용하여 분석하였고 환경인자와 식생과의 관계를 CCA기법으로 분석하였다. TWINSPAN 과 DCA에 의하여 4개 군집인 소나무군집, 굴참나무-신갈나무-소나무군집, 신갈나무군집, 물푸레나무군집으로 분리되었다. 교목상층군의 천이는 소나무→신갈나무, 굴참나무→물푸레나무로 추정되었다. CCA에 의한 ordination분석에서는 토양내의 pH. 유기물함량, Ca++함량, Mg++함량과 제 1, 2축과의 상관성이 인정되었고, 유기물, Mg++함량과 물푸레나무군집 그리고 pH와 소나무군집과의 상관관계가 인정되었다. 그러나 환경인자와 수종과의 관계는 명료하지 않았다.

A survey of the Chundong valley forest in Mt. Sobaek was conducted using 20 sample plots of 500m2 size. The classification by TWINSPAN and DCA, CCA ordination techniques were applied to the study area in order to classify them into several groups based on woody plants and environmental variables. By TWINSPAN techniques, the plant community were divided into four groups. The dividing groups are Pinus densiflora community, Qurcus variabilis -Q. mongolica -P. densiflora community, Fraxinus rhynchophylla community. The successional trends of tree species by DCA ordination techniques and DBH class distribution analysis seems to be from P. densiflora through Q. mongolica. Q. variabilis to F rhynchophylla. The correlation between the score of first two axes and soil pH, soil humus, soil calcium concentration, soil magnesium concentration was significantly positive in CCA ordination. The positive correlation between the score of first two axes of F. rhynchophylla community and soil humus, soil magnesium concentration and between ones of P. densiflora community and soil pH were calculated. But there is no correlation between species and environmental variables.
