임분특성에 따른 산불피해와 산불 피해지 처리에 따른 식생변화 = Severity of Forest Fire According to Forest Stand Characteristics and Vegetation Change According to Treatment in Damaged Stand by Forest Fire

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

We analysed stand characteristics of damaged area by forest fire and vegetation change according to treatment after forest fire in the east coastal region in Gangwon-do and Chungcheongnam-do. Most of Pinus spp. stands were heavily damaged, especially pure Pinμs densiflora stand was mostly damaged. But mixed stands of Quercus variablis and other Quercus spp. were damaged lightly. Effect of environmental factors for severity of forest fire was the greatest in degree of density, species, slope, respectively. In the stand where upperstory was removed, sprout of Quercus mongolica was highly generated, and species diversity, richness, eveness and relative important value were also high. In the stand where damaged trees in upperstory were left, vegetation change was slower than the story were those were removed. As a result, it would be better to conduct Quercus spp. mixed forest stand than pure coniferous forest stand for reduction of damage by forest fire and promotion of vegetation recovery. Also, it is necessary to remove upperstory of damaged forest stand by forest fire when restoration practice would be conducted.
