Abstract
물푸레나무(Fraxinus rhynchophylla Hance)의 천연하종 갱신과 치수의 초기 생존 특성을 파악하기 위하여 강원도 가리왕산 지역 천연 활엽수림에서 물푸레나무를 대상으로 2011-2013년 3년 간 하종량, 2012-2014년의 치수 발생, 치수의 수명 분포(Lifespan distribution), 치수 생존과 고사, 초본 식생과의 관계를 분석하였다. 하종량과 치수 발생량은 연도별 유의한 차이를보였고(p < .05). 하종량이 증가한 이듬해는 치수 발생량이 증가하였다. 2013년 하종량과 2014년 치수 발생량은 유의한 상관관계를 보였고(p < .05), 이는 하종 이듬해 발아하는 물푸레나무의 치수 발생 특성과 일치한다. 치수는 늦봄에서 초여름 사이에발생하였으며, 2014년은 발생 치수 중 78%가 초여름에 한꺼번에 발생하였다. 물푸레나무 치수는 발생 직후 대부분이 고사하였다. 2012년 8월 발생한 치수 집단은 초기 두 달 동안 56%가 고사하였고, 2014년 7월 발생한 치수 집단은 1개월 동안 38%가 고사하였다. 하층의 초본 식생으로 인한 피음과 지하부 경쟁은 치수 고사의 주요 원인이었다. 천연 활엽수림의 물푸레나무는 특정 해에종자가 많이 열리는 해거리 경향을 보였고, 다량 결실 이듬해는 임상에 다량의 치수가 발생하였으나, 발생 당년 대부분이 고사하였다. 물푸레나무는 치수 고사율이 높으나, 주기적으로 다량의 치수가 발생하고 살아남은 소수의 치수가 활착에 성공하여 갱신하는전략을 가진다. 우리나라에는 다양한 자생 교목 수종이 서식하나 이들 수종의 천연갱신에 대한 정보는 제한적이다. 우리나라의천연림 관리 및 복원을 위해서는 다양한 자생 수종의 천연갱신에 대한 연구가 필요하다.
Diverse native tree species are distributed in Korean forests; however, information on their regeneration strategies is limited. This study analyzed seed rain from 2011 to 2013, seedling emergence, seedling survival, lifespan distribution, and the relationship between seedling mortality and herbaceous vegetation for 3 years, from 2012 to 2014, to understand the natural regeneration and early survival characteristics of Fraxinus rhynchophylla Hance in natural broad-leaved forests. Seed rain and emerged seedling density significantly differed among the years (p < .05). An increase in seed rain was followed by an increase in seedling emergence in the following year. Seed rain in 2013 and seedling emergence in 2014 showed a significant correlation (p < .05), confirming the trait of F. rhynchophylla seeds that germinate in the following year after seed production. Seedlings emerged in late spring and early summer. Of the seedlings, 78% emerged in the early summer of 2014. Most seedlings died immediately after emergence. Of the seedlings that emerged in August 2012, 56% died within 2 months, and 38% of those that emerged in July 2014 died within 1 month. Shade and competition against ground vegetation chiefly affected the seedling survival of F. rhynchophylla. Fraxinus rhynchophylla showed mast seeding, with a large number of seed production in a particular year. A surge of seedling emergence followed in the early summer of the next year. However, most seedlings died in the same year of emergence. Fraxinus rhynchophylla has a high seedling mortality, but mast seeding and the resulting high seedling emergence produce a few survived seedlings, enabling the continuation of the F. rhynchophylla population. Efforts and research on the natural regeneration of native tree species are required to effectively manage natural forests in Korea.
