본(本) 시험(試驗)은 관리(管理)를 포기(抛棄)한 산지초지(山地草地)의 식생천이(植生遷移)를 조사(調査)하여 산지초지(山地草地) 관리(管理)에 이용(利用)코자 1993년부터 1996년까지 경기도 여주 야산지(野山地)에 조성(造成)한 초지(草地)에서 수행(遂行)되었던 바, 그 결과(結果)를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 1. 초지(草地)의 식생(植生)은 정지초지(整地草地)는 관리포기 후 l년차에, 임간초지(林間草地)는 방치후(放置後) 2년차에 식생이 가장 많이 변하였다. 2. 관리(管理)를 중단(中斷)한 후 초지식생(草地植生)의 생활형(生活型)은 미세지형(微細地形) 정지초지(整地草地)나 임간초지(林間草地) 공히 반지중식물(半地中植物), 지중식물(地中植物), 지표식물(地表植物)은 점차 감소하였으나, 1년생(年生) 식물(植物)과 어린나무를 포함한 관목류(灌木類)는 현저히 증가되었다. 3. 식생(植生)그룹간의 유사성(類似性)은 식생구성(植生構成) 초종(草種)에 따라 크게 영향을 받았는데, 이와 관련하여 초지(草地)의 식생구성(植生構成)이 비슷한 군락(群落)이 유클리드 거리계수(距離係數)가 가깝게 집단(集團)을 형성하였으며, 유사성(類似性)이 낮은 식생(植生)그룹은 유클리드 거리계수(距離係數)가 보다 먼 곳에서 서로 묶여지는 경향을 보였다. 미세지형(微細地形) 정지초지(整地草地)나 임간초지(林間草地) 공히 관리를 중단(中斷)하면 개량초지(改良草地)와는 다른 산지야초지(山地野草地)나 임야(林野)로 천이(遷移)되었다.

This study was conducted to find out the vegetational succession in abandoned hilly pasture, in Yeoju, Kyonggi Province from April, 1993 to October, 1996. The experiment was arranged as vegetation survey (Pflanzenaufuahme) with two different pastures((1) with forkcrane planed pasture and (2) forest pasture). After the abandoned management of pasture, the botanical composition of planed pasture and forest pasture was greatly changed into the type of natural vegetation in the first year and in the second years, respectively. The biomass of life forms of hemicryptophytes, geophytes and chamaephytes was greatly decreased, on the other hand, that of therophytes and nanophanerophytes after abandoned management of planed and forest pasture in three years was slightly increased than those of the vegetation with pasture management. The similarity coefficients among vegetation groups during the survey were greatly affected by botanical composition. The clustering analysis was showed that the communities of relatively similar botanical composition were grouped closely, and the other communities were clustered farther to the same group although the degree of similarity between communities was low. The communities of hilly pasture after abandoned management were gradually successive into the type of natural grassland or forest community in three years.
