본 조사는 2002년 7월부터 9월까지 진도군 가사도에서 도서연안 폐염전의 식생 현황을 조사하기 위하여 Braun-Blanquet and Elenberg의 방법에 따라 21개의 방형구(1×1m, 1×2m)를 설치하여 생태학적 조사하였다. 조사된 폐염전의 관속식물은 17과 48종이며, 이중에서 염생식물은 20종(42%), 중성식물은 28종 (58%)이 나타났다. 또한 폐염전에서 서식지의 교란은 염생식물의 교란으로 나타났으며, 이 지역에서 귀화식물은 오리새, 달맞이꽃, 망초, 코스모스 등의 23종이 분포하고, 이중에서 중성식물이 20종(71%) 분포하고 있었다. 식생군락은 염생식물 초지군락은 갯질경군락, 갯개미자리군락, 칠면초군락, 습지 초지군락은 갈대군락, 천일사초군락, 가는잎모새달군락, 중성 초지군락은 실망초군락과 갯당근군락 등으로 구분되었다. 각 군락들의 폐염전에서 식생의 구조, 분포, 변화에 대해서 설명하고, 식생표와 현존식생도를 작성하였다.

In this study, an on-site survey was conducted around Gasado island at Jodo-myeon, Jindo-gun, Jeonnam during July 2 to 25, 2002. The naturalized plants investigated in the surveyed sites were revealed 15 families and 39 species, including Althaea rosea and Oxalis articulata, which are ornamental plants. Only 10 species appeared in Imjado island among the surveyed sites the surveyed sites and Imjado Island, including Elymus sibiricus, Lolium perenne, Chenopodium album, Oxalis articulata, Oxalis corymbosa, Oenothera odorata, Xanthium strumarium, Bidens frondosa, Ambrosia artemisiaefolia var. elatior, and Taraxacum officinale. 6 species were distributed only in Gasado island, Jindo-gun, which included include Festuca myuros, Chenopodium ambrosioides, Amorpha fruiticosa, Malva neglecta, Calendula arvensis, and Carthamus tinctorius. 18 species were showed in Soheuksan island.; Yeosu area, 29 species; Imja Island in Sinan-gun, 34 species, and Gasado Island in Jindo-gun revealed 39 species. It is believed that the species of naturalized plants have been expanded compared to the other areas because of close location to the inland and large population fastiy. The Urbanization Index(UI) of this area was found to be 19.5. The naturalized plant communites in these surveyed sites were classified into Rumex crispus, Elymus sibiricus, and Lolium perenne community according to the vegetation table. Furthermore, they formed a community around areas that received great artificial influence from human dwellings or roads due to the characteristics of species distribution
