Conservation Status and Restoration of the Evergreen Broad-leaved forests in the Warm Temperate Region, Korea( I ) - Distribution of the Evergreen Broad-laved Forests and Category of Degraded Levels -
대부분 훼손된 한반도 난온대 상록활엽수림의 보전실태 파악 및 복원 방안을 모색하기 위해서 상록활엽수림 분포와 산림식생유형을 파악하고, 훼손등급 기준을 설정하였다. 기존 문헌과 현존식생도를 토대로 파악한 한반도의 상록활엽수림 면적은 약 10,285ha이었다 난온대 지역인 남해안과 내륙일대 등의 32개 지역에서 산림식생유형을 파악한 결과 상록활엽수림은 26개 유형, 준상록활엽수림은 13개 유형, 낙엽활엽수림은 9개 유형, 상록침엽수림은 4개 유형, 총 52개 산림식생유형으로 구분되었다. 난온대 수종의 상대우점치와 수종 수에따라 훼손등급을 8개 등급, 14개 세부훼손등급으로 세분하여 훼손등급 기준을 설정하였다.
In order to understand the condition of mostly-degraded evergreen broad-leaved forests(EBLF) and to make a restoration plan of EBLF in the Korean warm temperate, the distribution of EBLF and forest vegetation types have been investigated and the categories of degraded levels have been set. The coverage of the EBLF in the Korean peninsula was approximately 10,285ha based on the existing literature review and the actual vegetation map. Forest vegetation types have been investigated at thirty-two area of the south coast and inland in the warm temperate region. As a result, The forest vegetation was classified as 52 types; 26 types of EBLF, 13 types of semi-evergreen broad-leaved forests, 9 types of deciduous broad-leaved forests, 4 types of evergreen coniferous forests. The categories of degraded levels were divided into 8 levels and 14 sub-levels according to the importance percentage(I.P.) and the number of warm temperate species.
