Comparison of species composition among Picea jezoensis (Siebold & Zucc.) carriere forests in Northeast Asia (from China to South Korea)

초록

In this study, we aimed to provide basic data on the vegetation structure of the Picea jezoensis forest of Gyebangsan, Sobaeksan, Deogyusan, and Jirisan in South Korea and Baekdusan in China and to compare the abiotic and biotic factors correlated with the species composition of Picea jezoensis forests from South Korea and China. The Picea jezoensis forest stand structure was more stable in the Baekdusan region of China than in South Korea. In Sobaeksan, South Korea, a severe decline in Picea jezoensis was observed, and the basal area occupied by the species (2.89 +/- 1.11 m(2)/ha; approximately 8% of the total basal area) was lower than that occupied by broad-leaved trees.
