본 연구는 상관에 의한 현존식생 및 종조성표 분류법과 배열법의 군집분류법을 적용하여 치악산국립공원 구역의 식생천이 경과에 따라 변화된 식물군락구조를 분석하였다. 현존식생은 신갈나무림(33.1%)이 가장 넓은 면적을 차지하였으며 다음으로 혼효림(16.2%), 일본잎갈나무림(15.6%), 낙연활엽수림(14.7%), 소나무림(11.1%), 잣나무림(2.3%), 리기다소나무림(0.1%)순이었다. 식생은 당단풍-신갈나무군락, 층층나무-까치박달군락, 졸참나무군락, 소나무군락 및 식재림으로 분류되었다. 당단풍-신갈나무군락은 하위단위 군락으로 서어나무-조릿대군락, 물푸레나무군락, 노린재나무-대사초군락이 구분되었다. 종조성표의 분류법과 배열법의 식물군락 분류는 유사하였다. 식생천이는 산중턱 이상에서 신갈나무(교목층)-당단풍(아교목층)-철쭉(관목층)이 결합하여 극상림을 이룰 것으로 예측되었다.

This study was conducted to evaluate the changed vegetational community structure according to vegetational succession in Chiaksan National Park of Korea by applying ordination and classification method of floristic composition along with the actual vegetation by correlation. As for the ratio of actual vegetation, Mongolian oak forest(33.1%) was the highest, followed by mixed forest(16.2%), Japanese larch forest(15.6%), deciduous broad-leaved forest(14.7%), red pine forest(11.1%), Korean pine forest(2.3%) and Pitch pine forest(0.1%), respectively. The vegetation was classified into Acer pseudosieboidianum-Quercus mongolica community, Cornus controversa-Carpinus cordata community, Quercus sonata community, Pinus densiflora community and afforestation. The Acer pseudosieboldianum-Quercus mongolica community-a subordinately ranked community-was divided into Carpinus laxiflora-Sassa borealis community, Fraxinus rhynchophylla community and Symplocos chinensis for. pilosa-Carex siderosticta community. The results of community classification using by ordination and classification method of floristic composition were similar to each other. The vegetational succession, with the combination of Quercus mongolica, Acer pseudosieboldianum and Rhododendron schlippenbachii, was predicted to form a climax forest from above the hillside.
