부산일대 곰솔림과 소나무림의 생육 밀도에 관한 연구

The climate change is expected to weaken the habitat of Pinus densiflora and P. thunbergii , but they are still in high demand for planting. This study aims to suggest the rational community planting design based on natural forests’ community structure in the southeastern region of Korea (warm temperate zone). For this study, we surveyed 22 plots of Pinus densiflora community and 60 plots of P. thunbergii community in Busan Metropolitan City which is located in the southeastern part of the Korean peninsula. We investigated the diameter of breath hight (DBH) and population of each tree layer in a 100m² quadrat and used a regression analysis to derive a regression equation for estimating the mean number of planting individuals in each DBH. The coefficient between canopy layer’s DBH and growth individuals per unit area (100m²) was 0.700 for P. thunbergii communities and 0.533 for P. densiflora communities, indicating very high explanatory power by single factor. The predicted regression equation of between DBH and growth density was Ｙ= 31.176ｅ -0.055χ (χ=DBH, Υ=growth individuals per 100m²) for P. thunbergii communities and Ｙ= 38.351ｅ -0.059χ for P. densiflora communities. Planting densities of P. densiflora communities and P. thunbergii communities in southeast region were higher than the central region.
