홍도 상록활엽수림을 식물사회학적 방법으로 군락을 분류하고, 방형구법을 사용하여 구배분석을 실시하였다. 식물사 회학적으로 군락을 분류한 결과 붉가시나무군락, 굴거리군락, 소사나무군락으로 분류되었다. 토양특성은 유기물, 전질소, 유효인산, 치환성 K, 치환성 Ca, 치환성 Mg, 양이온치환용량(CEC)의 함량이 6.49~13.71%, 0.19~0.46%, 26.19~10.63(mg/kg), 0.24~0.56(cmol+/kg), 0.68~3.19(cmol+/kg), 0.83~1.82(cmol+/kg), 9.74~22.55(cmol+/kg) 이며, pH는 4.04~4.14로 약산생토양인 것으로 분석되었다. 소사나무군락은 해발고가 가장 높고, 붉가시나무군학과 굴거리 군락은 다소 낮은 해발고에 분포하는 것으로 나타났으며, 붉가시나무군락이 굴거리군락보다 전질소, CEC, 치환성 Ca 함량이 다소 많은 입지에 분포하는 것으로 나타났다.
This study used a bio-social approach in classifying the vegetation communities of evergreen broad-leaved forest in Hongdo island of Korea, and the results are as follows: Quercus acuta community, Daphniphyllum macropodum community, and Carpinus coreana community. The composition of soil properties in the same areas are as follows:soil organic matter, total nitrogen, available phosphorous, exchangeable K, exchangeable Ca, exchangeable Mg contained, cation exchange capacity, and soil pH. The capacities of these chemical properties of the soil ranged from 6.49~13.71%, 0.1 9~0.46%, 26.1 9~10.63(mg/kg), 0.24~0.56(cmol+/kg), 0.68~3.19(cmol+/kg), 0.83~1.82(cmol+/kg), 9.74~22.55(cmol+/kg), and 4.04~4.14 respectively. The Carpinus coreana community was found in the high elevation areas; Quercus acuta community, and Darphniphyllum macropodum community were also found in the low elevation. However, Quercus acuta communiη, compared with Daphnihyllum macropodum community, was found in the areas that contained more total nitrogen, cation exchange capacity, and exchangeable Ca.
