This study using TWINSPAN and Ordination target Mt. Mireuk analyzed the relationship between vegetation and environment. In addition, direction of the succession to predict the future by examining diameter of breast height and actual vegetation and proposed vegetation landscape management plan that meets them. As a result of the classification by TWINSPAN, communities of vegetation landscapes were composed in six communities such as Quercus mongolica, Pinus densiflora, Q. variabilis, Q. serrata, Q. acutissima, P. thunbergii community. DCCA ordination analysis, and distribution of Q. mongolica community where there is high altitude and low P. densiflora community. The analysis is expected to be diameter of breast height of vegetation Mt. Mireuk result, the dense P. densiflora dominated in large objects, but the young forward the succession to a high density object and Q. mongolica community of intermediate objects progress. The vegetation landscape was subdivided into the priority management zone, core management zone, restoration management zone, and buffer management zone. In particular, the study suggests the ecotone of Mt. Mireuk, which, as it borders Mireuksaji, seems to require management to be redeveloped into a forest of world cultural heritage, should be configured into a scenery forest using Pinus densiflora. We also suggest management of visitors via year breaks for hiking roads, as well as the removal of artificial vegetation species and control of density, which will lead to succession.
본 연구는 충청북도 괴산, 옥천 및 보은 지역에 분포하는 산림습원의 유형을 분류하고 습원에 형성된 식물군락을 분류하였으며 식생과 환경의 상관관계를 실시하였다. 산림습원의 유형은 묵논급 완경사 습지, 산지계곡 습지, 묵논 습지, 산지 완경사 습지 및 농지 연못 습지로 구분되었다. 산림습원의 식물군락은 오리나무군락, 버드나무-왕버들군락, 버드나무군락 및 층층나무군락으로 이루어졌다. 중요치는 버드나무 105.84%, 왕버들 13.60%, 산뽕나무 11.30%, 오리나무 10.12%, 신나무 9.53% 등의 순으로 나타났다. 식생과 환경요인과의 상관분석 결과 층층나무군락이 해발고가 높은 곳에서 분포하고 있었다. 전체 조사구에서 159종의 식물 이 출현하였다. 오리나무군락, 버드나무-왕버들군락, 버드나무군락 및 층층나무군락에서 공통적으로 출현한 종은 버드나 무, 신나무, 찔레꽃, 청가시덩굴, 주름조개풀, 꼭두서니, 개고사리, 물봉선, 산딸기, 개망초 및 사위질빵 등 이었다.
