잣나무 천연림의 생태적 관리를 위한 기초 자료를 얻고자 설악산 대청봉 일대의 잣나무 천연림을 대상으로 본 연구를 수행하였던 바 설악산 잣나무 천연림의 군락유형은 잣나무군락에서 단풍취군과 철쭉군으로 분류되었고, 단풍취군은 시닥나무소군과 실새풀소군으로 세분되어졌다. 본 조사지의 중요치 결과를 보면 잣나무, 분비나무, 청시닥나무, 사스래나무, 당단풍, 마가목, 신갈나무 순으로 중요치가 높게 나타났다. 본 조사지역의 종다양도의 범위는 0.44에서 0.86이고, 종내경쟁보다는 종간의 경쟁이 심한 것으로 나타났다. 또한 15개 매목조사구에서 DBH 10cm이하의 잣나무는 35개체로 거의 나타나지 않고 있었으며, 잣나무가 현재 상층임관을 점하고 있으나 하층목의 우점도가 낮아 그대로 방치하면 차대림은 다른 종으로 천이될 것으로 사료되었다. 또한 본 조사지의 잣나무 개체는 직경생장에 있어서 느린 생장과 빠른 생장의 시기가 교대로 나타났으며, 이는 주기적인 교란이 발생하였음을 반영하는 것으로 사료되었다.

The purpose of this study was to explain relationship between community structure and their environment variables in Mt. Hwaak. Samples were collected by 101 plots using ZM phytosociological method and followed by cluster, importance value and canonical correspondence analysis. The forest vegetation classified into 8 community types such as Pinus densiflora community, Berberis amurensis community, Betula ermani community, Betula schmidtii community, Larix leptolepis community, Pinus koraiensis community, Cornus controversa community and Salix koreensis community. Altitude was considered as the highest factor correlated to the community types. Berberis amurensis community and Betula ermani community were located in upper slope area of high elevation, Cornus controversa community and Salix koreensis community in valley area, and Pinus densiflora community in ridge area, respectively.

The purpose of the study is to find the problems related to the current state of the stand age classes and the method of calculating it defined in the existing forest type map and propose the more accurate method of calculating the stand age classes. The object for the study was selected as the forest scattered around the Geesan village Paju city in Kyunggi province. For the accurate method of calculating the stand age classes, such items as, the type of actual vegetation, establishment of grid-type standard area scaled down at the level of the 5% of the actual area, the types, number, DBH and age of tree found by the plots, were investigated. It was found out actual vegetation was divided into the total 24 types and the 20 types of them belonged to the growing tree areas. As the plots, the 125 places(unit area: 400 ㎡) were established. the types of the trees found were distributed in the range where the minimum was 1 type, the maximum was 9, the mean was 4.4±1.5, and the mode was 4 types. The number of the trees found was distributed in the range where the minimum was 17, the maximum was 125, the mean was 4.4±1.5, and the mode was 70. In the DBH, the minimum was 6 cm, the maximum was 30 cm, the mean was 13 cm and the mode was 10 cm. As the result of measuring the age of the 5 trees corresponding to the value of the mode in DBH, selected among the dominant species by the plots, less than 20 years was 17 places, the 115 places were included in the range from 21 to 30 years, and more than 31 years was the 6 places.
