This study was conducted to analyze the stand structure and growth characteristics along different elevations of Pinus koraiensis natural forests located at mean elevation 1,300 m (site1), 900 m (site2) and 600 m (site3) on Mt. Seorak. Mean DBH and height of P. koraiensis were 25.4 cm and 12.3 m in site1, while that of site2 and 3 were over 40 cm and 20 m, respectively. For this reason, there was 5 times difference of single tree volume between site1 and other sites(p<0.05). Mean ringwidth increment of P. koraiensis was 1.1 mm/yr in site1, 1.5 mm/yr in site2 and 2.6 mm/yr in site3. However, recent growth of ringwidth has increased by 8.6% in site1, whereas site2 and 3 have fallen by approximately 50% over the last 10 years. These results signify that the growth and distribution of natural P. koraiensis are effected by different climatic environment along elevations.

Old-growth mixed-conifer forests in Bhutan are characterized by remarkable tree species compositional heterogeneity. However, our knowledge of tree species assemblages and their structural attributes in these forests has been limited. Therefore, forest classification has been reliant on a single dominant species. This study aimed to distinguish tree species assemblages in an old-growth mixed conifer forest in Western Bhutan and to describe their natural compositional and stand structural characteristics. Furthermore, the regeneration status of species was investigated and the quantity and quality of accumulated coarse woody debris were assessed. Ninety simple random sampling plots were surveyed in the study site between 3,000 and 3,600 meters above sea level. Tree, standing deadwood, regeneration, and coarse woody debris data were collected. Seven tree species assemblages were distinguished by Hierarchical Cluster Analysis and Indicator Species Analysis, representing five previously undescribed tree species associations with unique set of consistent species. Principal Component Analysis revealed two transitional pathways of species dominance along an altitudinal gradient, highly determined by relative topographic position. The level of stand stratification varied within a very wide range, corresponding to physiognomic composition. Rotated-sigmoid and negative exponential diameter distributions were formed by overstorey species with modal, and understorey species with negative exponential distribution. Overstorey dominant species showed extreme nurse log dependence during regeneration, which supports the formation of their modal distribution by an early natural selection process. This allows the coexistence of overstorey and understorey dominant species, increasing the sensitivity of these primary ecosystems to forest management.

본 연구는 경주 단석산 상부 남사면의 상수리나무 우점 식분의 군집구조 변화를 파악하기 위하여 고정 방형구 20개를 설치하고 1999년부터 2018년까지 5회의 매목조사를 실시하였다. 밀도는 1999년에 0.33에서 2012년에 0.20으로 감소하였으나 2018년에는 0.24로 다소 증가하였다. 전체 수목의 흉고직경계분포를 보면, 1999년에는 역J자 유사한 모양의 분포를 나타내었으나 그 후 분포가 변화되어 2018년에는 어린 개체들에서는 역J자 모양이, 성숙한 개체들에서는 종 모양이 나타나 전체적으로는 두 곡선이 연결된 형태의 분포를 나타내었다. 흉고직경 13cm이하에서는 수목들의 경쟁이 심하였으나 그 이상에서는 완화되는 것으로 나타났다. 최우점종인 상수리나무의 흉고직경계 분포는 종 모양의 분포를 보였고, 시간이 지남에 따라 흉고직경이 큰 쪽으로 분포가 이동하지만 개체수는 줄어들었고, 신갈나무는 낮은 종 모양의 분포가 점점 높아지는 변화를 보였다. 흉고직경계분포의 변화로 볼 때, 단석산의 상수리나무 식분은 이차천이의 초기 단계에서 중간 단계로 삼림천이가 진행 중인 것으로 판단이 되며, 현재 본 식분의 최우점종은 상수리나무이고 준우점종은 신갈나무이지만, 향후 신갈나무가 최우점종인 식분으로의 천이가 진행될 것으로 예상된다.

This study was carried out to clarify changes in community structure of Quercus acutissima dominant stand on the south slope of Mt. Danseok-san with fixed twenty quadrates. Five field surveys were conducted from Aug. 1999 to May 2018. During the period, the density lessened to 0.20 in 2012 comparing with 0.33 in 1999. However recent field study in 2018 showed moderate rising to 0.24. In 1999, the DBH class distribution of all trees formed reverse J curve. However, the reverse J curve was torn down, forming bell curve. In 2018, the curve showed similar shape of reverse J shape on the group of young trees, forming bell shape on the group of mature trees. It reveals that DBH 13cm is on the threshold of trees competition trend where the downtrend in the trees are on uptrend. The most dominant Q. acutissima formed bell curve. The peak of the curve shows the shift to the right of the graph as it gets lower by year.In case of Q. mongolica, shows a change in the shape of a low bell as the distribution curve increases. The oak stand in this study is in the process of changing from the initial stage of the secondary forest succession to the intermediate stage. The most dominant tree is Q. acutissima, and the sub-dominant tree is Q. mongolica in present. Considering the age distribution of the two competing tree species, the succession of this stand is expected to transfer to the Q. mongolica-dominant community.

The purpose of this research was to figure out the stand structure and growth characteristic with relation to DBH, height, and volume in sixteen Pinus koraiensis plantations of Gangwon province region. Age class was diversely distributed from age class II (16 yr) to age class VIII (77 yr), and, in terms of site index, sixteen regions were superior: nine regions ‘high’, seven regions ‘middle’. The distribution of DBH by sites appeared a bell-shaped curve, and the number of trees was the most in diameter section of 18-22 cm. The dispersion of DBH was various with age and widest ranging from 18 cm to 58 cm in age class VII-VIII. The distribution of height was also a bell-shaped curve with the smaller deviation than the distribution of DBH, and most of trees were in height section of 14-18 m. The correlation of DBH and height was high (r=0.75), and the volume bigger than 1.0 m3 was presented from DBH 35 cm, height 20 m.

Shorea robusta is threatened these days due to poor regeneration potential. No systematic attempts were made in India, to understand dynamism of its natural regeneration and to suggest management inputs to encourage its regeneration. The present study deals with the natural regeneration with particular reference to crop composition and community structure in East Mandla Forest Division in Madhya Pradesh, India. The results indicated that the regeneration of Shorea robusta (seedlings per ha) varied from 916 to 21847. Besides this adequate regeneration of Shorea robusta, the distribution pattern of individuals of Shorea robusta trees in different girth classes was also seemed to be uninterrupted in most of the stands studied. This trend of uninterrupted distribution of Shorea robusta in different growth phases with plenty of established regeneration is the healthy sign of establishment and growth of Shorea robusta crop in the past in this area.

Since the demands not only for value-added timber but the environmental functions of forests had been increased, native tree species has been, and is rapidly being replaced by foreign tree species in many parts of the world. However, the studies on population structure and regeneration characteristics of native tree species were not conducted enough. Regeneration of Kalopanax septemlobus growing among other hardwoods in natural forests is very difficult because of its low seed viability and germination rate. The study examined the distribution of mature trees of K. septemlobus and their regeneration pattern at the 1.12 ha study plot in natural deciduous broad-leaved forest of Mt. Jeombong. The density and mean DBH of K. septemlobus was 97 trees per ha and 32 cm, respectively. The spatial distribution of K. septemlobus showed a random pattern (aggregation index is 0.935) in the 1.12 ha study plot. The age of 90 trees among 99 sample trees of K. septemlobus ranged from 90 to 110 years and represented a single cohort, thus suggesting that K. septemlobus in advance regeneration has regenerated as a result of disturbances such as canopy opening.

Based on the data representing four typical Korean pine forest types, the age structure, DBH distribution, species composition, and forking rule were systemically analyzed for old-growth Korean pine forest in Liangshui Nature Reserve, northeast China. The age structure of Korean pine trees was strongly uneven-aged with one dominated peak following normal distribution, and age of trees varied from 100 to 180 years within a stand. The DBH and height differences in same age class (20 years) varied from 28 cm~64 cm and 5 to 20 m, respectively. Many conifer and hard wood species, such as spruce, fir, costata birch, basswood, oak, and elm, were mixed with dominated trees of Korean pine. The canopy of the old-growth Korean pine forest can be divided into two layers, and differences of mean age and height between Layer I and Layer II were ranged 80~150 years and 7~13 m, respectively. The Weibull function was used to model the diameter distribution and performed well to describe size-class distribution either with a single peak in over-story canopy and inverse J-shape in under-story canopy for old-growth Korean pine stands. The forking height of Korean pine trees ranged from 16m to 24 m (mean 19.4 m) and tree age about 120 to 160 years old. The results will provide a scientific basis to protect and recover the ecosystem of natural old-growth Korean pine and also provide the model in management of Korean pine plantation.

Background: Korean white pine (Pinus koraiensis) is a major commercial species, and the importance of the oak trees (Quercus spp.) is increasing due to various factors such as environmental and ecological values. However, more information is required to clearly understand the growth characteristics of these species especially regarding thinning intensity. This study was performed to provide the basic information to develop the silvicultural guideline and field manual by analyzing tree and stand characteristics in line with thinning intensity in the Korean white pine plantation and oak-dominated natural deciduous forest. Results: Diameter at breast height (DBH) and volume changes by the thinning intensity in the Korean white pine plantation were significantly different from those in the oak-dominated deciduous natural forest. In particular, DBH distribution in the pine stand appeared that there were more large diameter trees as the thinning intensity was higher. DBH periodic annual increment (PAI) of the pine stand was higher as the thinning intensity was stronger and the growth period was shorter. This trend was similarly shown in the natural deciduous forest, but the amount of PAI was smaller than in pine stand. The volume PAI after thinning was not decreased over time. In each stand type, the PAI tended to be lower as stand density was higher. The volume PAI in the pine stand was significantly higher than that in the oak-dominated natural deciduous forest. Dead trees occurred the most in the unthinned plots of each stand type, and those were higher in the natural deciduous forest. Ingrowth trees were observed only in the natural deciduous forest, and its distribution was the lowest in unthinned plots; Korean white pine as ingrowth occurred the most frequently among many tree species. Conclusions: Different effects of thinning treatment on DBH and volume PAI, mortality, and ingrowth were observed for each stand. With respect to forest growth, Korean white pine plantation was superior to the oak-dominated natural deciduous forest. The results of this study offer fundamental information for the development of silvicultural guidelines for Korean white pine plantations and oak-dominated natural deciduous forests in Korea.

Diameter distributions describe forest stand structure information. Prediction equations for percentiles of diameter distribution and parameter recovery procedures for the Weibull distribution function based on four percentile equations were applied to develop prediction system of even-aged slash pine stand structure development in terms of the number of stems per diameter class changes. Four percentiles of the cumulative diameter distribution were predicted as a function of stand characteristics. The predicted diameter distributions were tested against the observed diameter distributions using the Kolmogorov-Smirnov two sample test at the ${\alpha}$=0.05 level. Statistically, no significant differences were detected based on the data from 236 evaluation data sets. This stand level diameter distribution prediction system will be useful in slash pine stand structure modeling and in updating forest inventories for the long-term forest management planning.

Tree species diversity is an important aspect of forest ecosystem stability. Tree species inventories at defined sites and in minimum diameter classes give a reliable indicator of the diversity level as well as the structural stability level of a study site. This study was conducted to investigate the species composition and the stand structure of the natural forest, timber-harvested forest (logged-over forest) and degraded forest of the Oak-twin Township in the Bago Yoma Region of Myanmar. Natural forest showed the highest family and species richness in all the investigated forests. At the family level, Verbenaceae occupied the highest importance value index (IVI) in all the forest stands while teak (Tectona grandis Linn. f.) occupied the highest IVI at the species level. However, the small diameter classes of T. grandis and other commercial species were less than those of big diameter classes in all the investigated forests. This abnormal pattern of diameter distribution could be a problem for the sustainable production of commercial timber species in the near future.

The characterization of tree species and forest stand conditions is useful in the planning of activities aimed to conserve biodiversity. The main objective of this study was to describe tree species diversity, species composition and stand structure of tropical deciduous forests distributed in three regions in Myanmar. Forest inventory was conducted in the Oktwin teak bearing forest, the Letpanpin community forest and Alaungdaw Kathapa National Park. According to the Jackknife estimator of species richness, 85 species (${\pm}18.16$), 70 species (${\pm}5.88$) and 186 species (${\pm}17.10$) belonging to 31 families were found in the Oktwin teak bearing forest, 33 families in Letpanpin community forest and 53 families in Alaungdaw Kathapa national park, respectively. Shannon's diversity indices were significantly different among the forests (p<0.05). It ranged from 3.36 to 4.36. Mean tree density (n/ha) of the Oktwin teak bearing forest, Letpanpin community forest and Alaungdaw Kathapa National Park were 488 (${\pm}18.6$), 535 (${\pm}15.6$) and 412 (${\pm}14.1$), while basal areas per hectare were $46.96m^2({\pm}3.23),\;49.01m^2({\pm}5.08)\;and\;60.03m^2({\pm}3.88)$, respectively. At the family level, Verbenaceae, Myrtaceae and Combretaceae occupied the highest importance value index, while at the species level it was Tectona grandis, Lagerstoremia speciosa and Xylia xylocarpa.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of hardwood competitions in stand structure and dynamics by applying prediction models for unthinned loblolly pine (Pinus taeda L.) plantations. A parameter recovery procedure for the Weibull distribution function based on four percentile equations was applied to develop diameter distribution prediction models. Four percentiles of the cumulative diameter distribution prediction equations were predicted as a function of quadratic mean diameter plus competin hardwood trees perhectare varibales. According to the results of this study. it was found that as the amount of competing hardwood trees increased, diameter distributions in terms of stand structure dynamics tended to be more skewed to the right. Therefore, the influence of non-planted hardwood trees interspecific competitoin on planted loblolly pines showed negative effects on the stand structure and dynamics.

We investigated death rates, growth rates and recruitment of culms in two neighboring bamboo (Phyllostachys bamboosoides) stands nested in by two different bird species to analyze stand structure and to design conservation strategies. A third bamboo grove not used by birds, the Taewha stand, was included as a control stand. The bamboo stand occupied by birds in the family Ardeidae (the Ardeidae stand) had an approximately 1.5 times higher culm density than the stand occupied by birds in the family Corvidae (the Corvidae stand). The crude death rate and the number of newly emerged shoots were also higher in the Ardeidae stand than the Corvidae stand. The death rate for bamboo in the Ardeidae stand was not dependent on diameter at breast height (DBH) and was almost 40% for culms of all sizes, whereas most dead culms in the Corvidae stand were < 4 cm DBH. Consequently, we conclude that in the Ardeidae stand, density-independent causes of death are operating, while density-dependent factor are more important in the Corvidae site. The results of soil analysis in these stands suggest that the density-independent death pattern observed in the Ardeidae stand may be due to soil acidification resulting from wastes produced by the birds during breeding. On the other hand, the culm distribution and death patterns in the Corvidae stand suggest that the stand characteristics were not affected by the nesting birds. These results suggest that different conservation strategies must be applied to conserve bamboo groves used by ardeids and corvids for nesting.

Vegetative growth and changes within populations of Syneilesis palmata (THUNB>) MAX. Usannamul were monitored in two natural stands with different levels of incoming light. This perennial, shade-tolerant herb was measured for its plant size, petiole length, leaf breadth, and leaflet number over 11 years in a moderately shaded (SS) stand and over 7 years in a severely shaded (SS) stand. At the end of each growing season, a shoot primordium developed at the center of the root system. Correlation coefficients were mostly high between pairings of two properties -- total weight, petiole length, petiole weight, leaf breadth, leaf blade weight, leaf area, specific leaf area, and leaflet number. Mean annual mortality of this species was higher in SS (22.97%) than in MS (8.85%), but great fluctuations were seen from year by year. Mortality was lowest for medium-sized plants. Regarding petiole length, differences in mean annual growth rates were conspicuous, i.e., 2.6% in MS and 8.4% in SS, while growth rates for leaf breadth were 3.1% in MS and 24.2% in SS. Changes in plant frequency within individual size classes roughly showed a normal distribution curve. However, the mode varied year by year, and such changes were more remarkable in SS than in MS. Under severe shading, S. palmata had a higher growth rate and but also greater mortality than did plants under moderate shade. Therefore, one can conclude that the population structure in SS was unstable over time.

We describe a looper controller design for a hot strip finishing mill in steel plants. The main function of the looper system is to balance the mass flow of the strip by accumulating material in the middle of the stands. Another function is to control the strip tension which influences the width of the strip. To ensure strip quality, it is very important to control the tension of the hot strip finishing mill. However, because there is a mutual interaction between the looper angle and the strip tension, it is difficult to control the looper system. Previous researches examined only the operation of a single stand. But it is not sufficient to examine the operation and effect of whole stands because the operation is wholly interdependent. In this paper, we present a full model of the hot strip finishing mill in order to more effectively control strip tension. We propose several control methods for the full-stand hot strip finishing mill, denoted as conventional PI, PI with cross gain, and coefficient diagram method (CDM) PID control. In the real plants, there are some problems by using higher order controllers such as LQ, LQG and H$\_$$\infty$/. By comparison, the PID controller is very simple and easy to apply to all real plants. To that end, we present our findings on PID controls and their potential use in the hot strip finishing mill.

내설악 전나무 자연림 임분구조를 좀 더 체계적으로 이해하기 위하여 종다양성 추정에 사용되는 Shannon-Weaver-Index를 응용한 Herles의 구조표현인자 다양성 계산 방법을 도입하여 12개의 임분을 조사하였다. 임분 구조 변화는 당연히 phase의 변화에 종속되지만 개개인자들 간의 연관에서 자연림의 특성이 재확인되었다. 우선 내설악 전나무 자연림의 구조는 표현인자 다양성의 결과에서 보이는 것처럼 다양성이 상대적으로 낮은 것으로 나타났다. 인자 간의 상관에서 종다양성은 구조 변화 관련 전체 인자 (다양성)와 미약한 관계만 보이며, 어느 정도 설명이 가능한 연관을 보이는 것으로는 개체수였으며, 개체수가 증가할수록 임분구조 전체의 다양성은 떨어지는 결과를 보인다. 입목축적이나 고사목 축적은 대부분 조사구에서 천연갱신고도와 연관을 보이며 다른 인자와는 별다른 관계를 보이지 않는 것으로 나타났다. 타 구조표현인자 서로서로의 연관은 천연갱신고도와 관련하여 울폐도나 수관면적, 형태 등과 연관을 보였으며 수고나 흉고직경은 타 인자들과 별다른 연관을 보이지 않았다. 전체적으로 내설악 전나무림 구조변화 이해에 도움을 주는 결과를 가져왔지만 좀 더 많은 조사구에 대한 조사가 필요하리라 본다.

We investigated 12 plots using Herles' diversity of structure feature calculation method, which is based on the Shannon-Weaver-Index for estimation of species diversity. This study sought to facilitate a more systematic understanding of the structure of the forest stands in the Korean fir natural forest in Naeseorak. Although the change in the forest structure is dependent on the change in phase, factors of the natural forest were confirmed by associating individual structure features. As shown in the results of diversity of structure features, the diversity of the structure of the fir tree natural forest in Naeseorak was relatively low. The association between species diversity and overall factors (diversity) related with the change in the structure was found to be weak. The association between the number of trees and the diversity of forest structure stands was moderate, showing that the higher the number of trees, the less diverse the forest structure is. In most of the investigated plots, stem volume and volume of dead tree were associated with the height of natural regeneration, but these were not associated with other factors. Height of natural regeneration was found to be correlated to stand density, crown area and crown class, whereas tree height and BHD did not have any association with other factors. Overall, the results of the investigation are helpful in understanding the change in the structure of Korean fir natural forest. Further investigation with more plots is required.

본 연구는 산불 피해지에서 복원 방법 및 수종의 구성에 따라 미세 기후가 어떻게 변하는지에 관한 연구는 거의 이루어진 바 없어 산불 피해지에서 복원 방법 및 임분의 구성에 따라 임분 내 기상 패턴이 어떻게 변화하는지에 대해 구명하고자 수행되었다. 본 연구에서 사용된 독립 변수로 임분을 구성하는 수종의 종류와 생장, 임분 밀도, 그리고 피복율이며, 이에 따른 종속 변수로는 임분 내 광량, 기온, 습도, 토양 온도, 그리고 토양 수분 함량이었다. 기상 조건은 대부분 광 조건에 영향을 받는 종속 변수이나, 임분을 구성하는 수목의 생장과 피복률에도 변화하는 것으로 나타났다. 임분 내 습도는 임분 밀도와, 임분 내 기온과 수목의 수고와 음(-)의 상관 관계에 있는 것으로 나타나 임분 밀도와 수목의 생장이 증가할수록 임분 내부의 기온과 습도는 상대적으로 감소하는 경향을 보였다. 그러나 임분의 발달은 대부분 미세 기후의 전체 평균보다는 변동계수와 같은 편차를 줄이는 형태로 더 큰 영향을 주었으며, 수관 층의 수고와 임분 내 광량과 직접적인 관계에 있는 것을 감안하면($R^2$=0.87), 임분의 구조는 광량에는 직접적인 영향을, 다른 미세 기후에는 간접적인 영향을 준 것으로 사료된다. 한편 변동계수의 경우 삼척 지역이 고성 지역보다 상대적으로 높은 값을 보였으며, 수목의 생장에 따라 감소하는 경향을 보였다. 따라서 산불 발생 이후 시간 경과에 따라 상대적으로 안정된 상태를 지니는 것으로 해석되었다. 그러나, 현재 단계에서는 산불 피해 이후 숲의 발달에 따른 임분 내부의 기상 조건의 변화상을 뚜렷하게 확인하고 일반화하기에는 많은 어려움이 있어 이를 위해서는 보다 긴 시간에 걸쳐 많은 지점에서의 기상 조건과 임분 현황을 지속적으로 조사되어야 할 것이다. 이후 일반화된 자료를 활용한다면, 임분 구조와의 관계 해석은 물론, 하층 식생 출현 등에 대한 해석에 도움이 될 것으로 기대된다.

The study was conducted to determine the effects of forest restoration methods and stand structure on solar radiation, air temperature, relative humidity, soil temperature, and soil water content, based on volume, in forest stand after forest fire. The changes of the micro-climate elements in naturally and artificially restored forest after forest fire were measured in Goseong and Samcheok, Gangwon province. Pinus spp. were commonly appeared in ridges, barren lands or planted areas of the study sites while the other areas were dominated by Quercus spp. In the early stage, trees in the naturally regenerated site grow better than the trees in artificially rehabilitated site. However, the growth ratio rapidly decreased by time passed in natural regeneration area. The environmental conditions (solar radiation, air temperature, relative humidity, soil temperature and soil water content) were significantly different by the regions and the methods (p<.05). However, the coefficients of variations of the environmental conditions were not significantly different at 95% confidence level. As the coverage and tree height in crown layer increased, the relative humidity and soil water content were increased while the temperature and solar radiation were decreased. Especially, the relative humidity, solar radiation, and soil water content were clearly affected by the tree height and coverage ratio ($R^2$ means from 0.628 to 0.924). Even though the data should have collected at least more than 5 years in meteorological analysis, the two year results show some clear relationship between forest structure and microclimate elements.

경상북도 봉화군 장군봉 현존식생의 임분구조 특성을 규명하여 생태적 산림관리를 위한 기초정보를 제공하기 위해 2014년 7월부터 2015년 10월까지 식생조사를 실시하였다. 총 111개소의 식생조사자료를 토대로 상관우점종에 의한 식생유형을 분석한 결과, 천연림에서 신갈나무군락, 박달나무군락, 소나무군락, 굴참나무군락, 피나무군락으로 분류되었고, 인공조림지에서 잣나무군락, 일본잎갈나무군락, 물푸레나무군락, 자작나무군락으로 분류되었다. 중요치 분석 결과, 천연림의 사면부는 교목층에서 신갈나무 44.3, 소나무 12.1 등의 순으로, 아교목층에서는 신갈나무 27.6, 쇠물푸레 12.4 등의 순으로 각각 나타났고, 인공조림지의 사면부는 교목층에서 잣나무 22.6, 일본잎갈나무 15.4, 물푸레나무 13.3 등의 순으로, 아교목층에서 굴참나무 17.9, 담쟁이덩굴 14.1, 신갈나무 10.4 등의 순으로 각각 나타났으며, 덩굴성 식물의 중요치가 천연림에 비하여 인공조림지에서 높았다. 종다양성 지수는 계곡부에서는 천연림 2.334, 인공조림지 1.734, 사면부에서는 천연림 1.931, 인공조림지 1.927으로 각각 나타났다. 장군봉 일대 산림식생의 관리를 위해서는 지형과 상관군락단위별 차별화된 관리방법이 필요하고, 특히 인공조림지 내 덩굴식물의 높은 중요치를 줄일 수 있는 관리방안 등이 필요할 것으로 사료되었다.

The purpose of this study was to provide basic information on ecological forest management in Janggunbong, Bonghwa-Gun. Vegetation data were collected from Janggunbong, Bonghwa-Gun, from July, 2014 to October, 2015. We carried out an analysis of vegetation types on the physiognomically dominant species of 111 quadrates. In the natural forest area, the vegetation community was classified into Quercus mongolica, Betula schmidtii, Pinus densiflora, Quercus variabilis and Tilia amurensis. In the plantation area, the vegetation community was classified into Pinus koraiensis, Larix kaempferi, Fraxinus rhynchophylla and Betula platyphylla var. japonica. Based on the analysis of the importance value of the species in the slope area, it was seen that the tree layers of the natural forest were dominated by Quercus mongolica at 44.3, and Pinus densiflora at 12.1. The importance values of the subtree layer of the natural forest were found to be 27.6 for Quercus mongolica, and 12.4 for Fraxinus sieboldiana. Also, the importance values of the tree layers in the plantation areas were found to be 22.6 for Pinus koraiensis, 15.4 for Larix kaempferi, and 13.3 for Fraxinus rhynchophylla, while those of the subtree layers of the plantation area were found to be17.9 for Quercus variabilis, 14.1 for Parthenocissus tricuspidata, and 10.4 for Quercus mongolica in that order. Vine plants showed higher importance values in the plantation area than in the natural forest area. Species diversity in the valley area was 2.334 in the natural forest area, and 1.734 in the plantation area. That of natural forest area was 1.931, and that of plantation area was 1.927 in slope area. For management of the forest vegetation in Mt. Janggunbong, a distinct forest management plan, customized for each topography and physiognomical community unit should be made Particularly, the administration is required to consider strategies to reduce the higher importance value for vine plants in the plantation areas.
