Abstract

The succession process in terms of species composition and stand structure was directly tracked for 10 years in permanent plots of five Korean cool-temperate forests having different stand ages and topography: Pinus-Quercus forest (PQ), Quercus-Tilia forest (QT), Broadleaved-Abies mixed forest (BA), Populus-Salix forest (PS), and subalpine forest (SA). Although the 10-year change in mature forests was small, succession was detected by applying the pre-developed climax index. The species composition based on the climax index implied that PQ is at pioneer stage, QT and PS are at intermediate stage, while BA and SA are at the late-successional stage. The stems were regulated in a density-dependent manner; severer in forests such as PQ and QT with high initial densities, and severer in the dense mid-story than in the upper-story. Consequently, the basal area increased in the upper-story and decreased in the mid-story. As the abundance of species with higher climax index increased, succession exhibited a progressive direction. However, SA suffered chronic disturbances, and showed fluctuations. During the study, BA and PS were also damaged but they were resilient to site-related natural disturbances. Our findings through a 10-year permanent-plot study may have meaningful implications for explaining mature forest succession in other regions of Korea.

寒温带台山国家公园五种森林类型的十年演替过程

摘要在韩国五种不同林龄和地形的冷温带森林的永久性地块中，对物种组成和林分结构的演替过程进行了为期 10 年的直接跟踪：这五片森林分别是：松树-柞树林（PQ）、柞树-椴树林（QT）、阔叶树-悬铃木混交林（BA）、杨树-柳杉林（PS）和亚高山林（SA）。虽然成熟林的 10 年变化很小，但通过应用预先开发的高潮指数，还是检测到了演替。基于高潮指数的物种组成表明，PQ 处于先锋阶段，QT 和 PS 处于中间阶段，而 BA 和 SA 则处于晚演替阶段。茎的生长受密度的影响；在 PQ 和 QT 等初始密度较高的森林中，茎的生长受密度的影响更严重；在中层密林中，茎的生长受密度的影响比在上层密林中更严重。因此，基部面积在上层增加，而在中层减少。随着高潮指数较高物种数量的增加，演替呈现出渐进的方向。然而，SA 长期受到干扰，表现出波动性。在研究过程中，BA 和 PS 也受到了破坏，但它们对与场地相关的自然干扰具有较强的恢复能力。我们通过为期 10 年的永久性地块研究得出的结果可能对解释韩国其他地区的成熟林演替具有重要意义。

期刊介绍： Journal of Plant Biology, an official publication of the Botanical Society of Korea, is an international journal devoted to basic researches in biochemistry, cellular biology, development, ecology, genetics, molecular biology, physiology, and systematics of plants. The Journal publishes the following categories of paper: Original articles -- For publication in Journal of Plant Biology the manuscript must provide a significant new contribution to our understanding of plants. All areas of plant biology are welcome. No limit on the length, but a concise presentation is encouraged. Reviews -- Invited by the EiC. Brief Communications -- Concise but independent report representing significant contribution to plant science. The Botanical Society of Korea was founded on November 30, 1957 to promote studies, disseminate and exchange information on the field of plant biology. The first issue of The Korean Journal of Botany, the official publication of the society, was published on April 1, 1958. It was published twice a year, but quarterly from 5th volume in 1962. In 1994, it was renamed to Journal of Plant Biology and published in English since 1996. The journal entered its 50th year of publication in 2007.
