본 연구의 결과 식생조사용 DB 구축 결과와 식생조 사 결과를 반영한 식생도 구축 결과는 활엽수림이 71.965%, 71.184%로 거의 같았으며, 침엽수림(16.010%, 15.747%), 혼효림(10.619%, 12.085%), 암벽식생(0.015%, 0.002%) 분포비율의 차이가 크지 않았다. 식생조사 결 과가 반영된 정밀식생도 중 식생 상관대분류에서 나타 난 식생유형은 산지낙엽활엽수림이 전체의 60.096%를 차지하고 있어 가장 넓은 분포역을 나타내고 있었으며, 산지침엽수림 (16.332%), 산지습성림 (15.887%), 식재림 (3.558%) 순으로 분포비율이 높았다. 국립공원내에서 평가된 식생보전등급은 I등급과 II등급 지역이 각각 61.80%, 33.55%로써 전체 면적의 95.35%로써 생태자 연도 1등급 지역에 속하는 높은 식생보전가치를 지니고 있는 것으로 분석되었다.
특히 극상림, 특이식생, 아고산대식생 등 I등급 지역의 분포비율이 높은 것은 다양한 기질특성, 높은 고도, 낮 은 인위적 교란의 정도, 산의 정상부 능선지역에 형성된 아고산대식생과 기후적∙지형적 특성을 반영한 식생을 형성하고 있기 때문인 것으로 보인다.
This study, which was conducted from Apr. 2013 to Jan. 2014, was carried out as part of a project of making a more detailed ecological zoning map with 1/5,000 scale. The necessity of electronic vegetation map with large scale has arisen in order to make the best use of basic research findings on resource monitoring of National Parks and to enhance efficiency in National Park management. In order to improve accuracy and speed of vegetation research process, the data base for vegetation research was categorized into five groups, namely broad-leaved forest, coniferous forest, mixed forest, rock vegetation and miscellaneous one. And then a vegetation map for vegetation research was created for the research on the site.
What is in the database for vegetation research and the vegetation map reflecting findings from vegetation research showed similar distribution rate for broad-leaved forest with 71.965% and 71.184%, respectively. The distribution rate of coniferous forest (16.010%, 15.747%), mixed forest (10.619%, 12.085%), and rock vegetation (0.015%, 0.002%) did not have much difference. In a detailed vegetation map reflecting vegetation research findings, the broad-leaved mountain forest was the most widely distributed with 60.096% based on the physiognomy classification. It was followed by mountain coniferous forest (16.332%), mountain valley forest (15.887%), and plantation forest (3.558%)
As for vegetation conservation classification evaluated in the national park, grade I and grade II areas took up 200.44 km2, 61.80% and 108.80 km2, 33.55% respectively. The combined area of these two amounts to 95.35%, making this area the first grade area in ecological nature status. This means that this area is highly worth preserving its vegetation.
The high rate of gradeⅠarea such as climax forests, unique vegetation, and subalpine vegetation seems to be attributable to diverse innate characteristics of Odaesan National Park, high altitude, low level of artificial disturbance, the subalpine zone formed on the ridge of the mountain top, and their vegetation formation, which reflects climatic and geological characteristics, despite continuous disturbance by mountain climbing.
