A study on the forest vegetation of Mt. Namsan, Seoul, was conducted from 1985 to 1986 for nature conservation.
In the classification by Z-M method two plant communities(Quercus mongolica comm. and Pinus densiflora comm.) and four plantations with different species and one mixed (native and planted species) stand were recognized by the floristic composition obtatined from 18 Releve at random.
By the results, the actual vegetation map and tree species distribution map of the mountain in scale 1 : 20,000 were prepared.
The analysis of community structure and species diversity showed that the northern slope of the mountain is largely covered with relative stable communities while the southern slope with unstable communities.
The forest vegetation destructed since the establishment of capital city in 1394, are moving now to the restoration courses under the legal supervision of Seoul city. However, an warning should be given to the undesirable plantation restricting forest succession suh as many sites at the southern slope.
