소백산국립공원을 대상으로 2008년 5월부터 2008년 9월까지 109개소의 방형구를 설정하여 ZM 식물사회학적 방법으로 산림식생유형을 분류한 결과 최상위 단계에서 신갈나무군락군 유형으로 분류되었다. 신갈나무군락군은 소나무군락, 청시닥나무군락, 층층나무군락, 일본잎갈나무군락, 잣나무군락으로 분류되었다. 소나무군락은 굴참나무군과 피나무군으로 세분되었고, 청시닥나무군락은 떡버들군과 사스래나무군으로 세분되었으며, 사스래나무군은 주목소군과 사스래나무전형소군이 하급식생단위로 나타났다. 따라서 소백산국립공원 일대의 산림식생유형은 1개 군락군, 5개 군락, 4개 군, 2개 소군으로 분류되어, 총 8개의 식생단위가 나타났으며, 이러한 식생단위 분포는 해발고와 지형에 있어 유의한 상관관계를 보이고 있었다.
This study was carried out to classify forest vegetation structure of Sobaeksan National Park from May to October in 2008 using the methodology of the ZM school's phytosociological analysis. The forest vegetation was classified into 1 community groups such as Quercus mongolica community group. Quercus mongolica community group was subdivided into 3 community such as Pinus densiflora community, Acer barbinerve community and Cornus controversa community. Pinus densiflora community was subdivided into Quercus variabilis group and Tilia amurensis group. Acer barbinerve community was also subdivided into Salix hallaisanensis group and Betula ermani group(subdivided into Taxus cuspidata subgroup and Betula ermani typical subgroup). Artificial forest type indicated 2 communities such as Larix leptolepis community and Pinus koraiensis community. Accordingly, the vegetation pattern of the surveyed areas were classified into 1 community groups, 5 communities, 4 groups, and 2 subgroups and the forest vegetation was classified into 8 units in total. The vegetation unit distributions was strongly correlated with sea level and topography in this research area.
