Abstract

This study was conducted to investigate the vegetation of Chilbaldo, Jeollanam-do, South Korea from 17 May, to 20 August, 2011. According to the ZM school method, the vegetation can be classified into 7 communities which are as follows. The decideuous broad-leaved forest : Rubus schizostylus community, the afforest forest ; Ficus carica community, the herbaceous plants; Miscanthus sinensis community, Carex boottiana community, Artemisia princeps community, Achyranthes japonica community and Brassica juncea var. integrifolia community. This paper compares the change of major community in 2011 to the one in 2000. The result was that the Miscanthus sinensis community, Artemisia princeps community, Rubus schizostylus community, Ficus carica community, Achyranthes japonica community and Brassica juncea var. integrifolia community was gradually magnified. In contrast, the Carex boottiana community, Parthenocissus tricuspidata community and Trachelospermum asiaticum var. majus community were reduced. We described each community's floristic, structural and environmental features closely. Based on the descriptions, the actual vegetation map was completed at a 1:5,000 scale. In order to conserve the vegetation of Chilbaldo, the most important thing is to establish an ecological learning area. By continuously monitering the ecosystem change, this will minimize human disturbance and attain effective management strategy.
