본 연구는 이차림 잠재식생 변화의 기초자료로 제공하기 위하여 예산군의 침엽수림과 활엽수림 지상부 (현존식물)와 지하부 (매토종자 발아식물) 식생을 파악하고 비교하였다. 매토종자 발아의 관속식물은 침엽수림이 20과 27속에 딸린 28종 1변종의 29분류군이었고, 활엽수림은 18과 32속에 딸린 34종 2변종의 36분류군이었다. 국화과는 침엽수림과 활엽수림 모두 가장 많이 발아한 매토종자의 식물 집단이었고, 조사구 출현빈도는 침엽수림의 방동사니와 활엽수림의 고들빼기가 높게 나타났다. 토심별 분류군은 침엽수림이 토심 0~10cm, 활엽수림이 토심 0~5cm에서 가장 많았고, 개체수는 침엽수림과 활엽수림 모두 토심 0~2cm에서 가장 많이 나타났으며 토심이 깊을수록 감소하였다. 매토종자의 발아 개체수가 가장 많은 식물은 침엽수림과 활엽수림 모두 고들빼기이었다. 지상부와 지하부의 유사도지수는 평균 0.22로서 낮았으며, 침엽수림과 활엽수림은 유사도지수가 평균 0.40으로서 지상부와 지하부 비교보다 유사성이 높게 나타났다.

Purpose of this study was to evaluate germination characteristics of soil seed bank in rural stream topsoil using seedling emergence method in order to provide data for future ecological restoration of stream utilizing topsoil. There were 24 families, 52 genera, 61 taxa of soil seed bank flora found in topsoil from 6 rural streams. The most frequently found taxa were Compositae (12 taxa) followed by Gramineae (8 taxa), Caryophyllaceae (5 taxa), Cruciferae (4 taxa), Scrophulariaceae, Labiatae, Polygonaceae and Cyperaceae. Plant with the most number of germination was Stellaria aquatica followed by Erigeron annuus, Imperata cylindrica var. koenigii, Poa annua, Cyperus microiria and Veronica undulata. Naturalized plants found were Erigeron annuus, Rumex crispus, Oenothera odorata, Cerastium glomeratum, Bidens frondosa, Erigeron philadelphicus, etc.

This study was carried out to evaluate the physicochemical properties of topsoil from forest development area. The results of physicochemical properties of topsoil from forest development area shown on the average loamy sand~sandy clay loam in soil texture, 5.3~7.1 in pH, 0.02~0.18 dS/m in EC, 0.7~1.8% in OM, 0.03~0.11% in T-N, 11~15 cmol+/kg in CEC, 0.02~0.04 cmol+/kg in K+, 4.51~8.18 cmol+/kg in Ca2+, 0.93~2.77 cmol+/kg in Mg2+, 6~49 mg/kg in available phosphate. And the results of physicochemical properties of topsoil from forest non-development area shown on the average sandy loam~sandy clay loam in soil texture, 4.4~5.3 in pH, 0.03~0.05 dS/m in EC, 3.1~4.6% in OM, 0.13~0.23% in T-N, 14~18 cmol+/kg in CEC, 0.02~0.04 cmol+/kg in K+, 0.78~3.82 cmol+/kg in Ca2+, 0.29~1.31 cmol+/kg in Mg2+, 3~31 mg/kg in Av. P2O5. On the other hand, forest development area of topsoil sand content higher than 8~18% sand content than the forest non-development area. This trend is thought to be the absence of topsoil management development projects. Consequently, the results suggested a high potential of recycling of the topsoil from forest non-development area for planting soil. Therefore, in construction of the conservation and management of topsoil from forest non-development area is very important.
