무인도서의 식생과 식생보전가치등급 -경상남도 거제시·창원시를 중심으로-

Abstract

This research was carried out from July to August 2013 to figure out the assessment class of Geoje and Changwon Kyeongnam's vegetation and conservation values. The physiognomic classification divided the area into 5 types as follows: the deciduous broad-leaved forests, evergreen coniferous forest, evergreen broad-leaved forest, artificial afforestation and herb vegetation. According to the result of this classification using the Braun-Branquet method, plant communities can be categorized into fifteen different communities, such as the Quercus aliena, Rosa wichuraiana, Albizzia julibrissin, Pinus densiflora, Pinus thunbergii, Pinus thunbergii-Eurya japonica, Pinus densiflora-Pinus thunbergii, Elaeagnus macrophylla, Juniperus chinensis, Ailanthus altissima, Prunus sargentii, Salix gracilistyla var. purpurascens, Salix gracilistyla var. purpurascens -Pueraria thunbergiana, Pteridium aquilinum var. latiusculum, Pteridium aquilinum var. and the latiusculum-Artemisia princeps community. The natural environment in uninhabited islands has an important implication from the geographical, historical, cultural and biological aspect. Thus a systematic survey on uninhabited islands can provide us with significant information. Based on the systematic survey, management methods and preservation countermeasures should be established in line with the increase in visitors.
