Abstract

This study was conducted to analyze character of distribution of plants by landforms and altitude in Mt. myeonbong. The chemical properties of soil in this study sites were as follows; pH 4.86, organic 52.53 g/㎏, P2O5 7.57 ㎎/㎏, potassium 0.18 cmol+/㎏, calcium 2.45 cmol+/㎏ and magnesium 0.49 cmol+/㎏. Generalists in the upper layer were analyzed as follows; Quercus mongolica, Pinus densiflora, Quercus variabilis, and specialists; Carpinus cordata, Tilia amurensis, Morus bombycis etc. In the middle layer, generalists were Betula schmidtii, Quercus mongolica, Sorbus alnifolia and specialists; Lindera erythrocarpa, Quercus serrata, Staphylea bumalda etc. Generalist of shrubs; Lindera obtusiloba, Rhododendron mucronulatum, Sorbus alnifolia, and specialists; Morus bombycis, Pinus densiflora, Deutzia glabrata etc. Generalists of herbaceous layer; Rhus tricocarpa, Lespedeza maximowiczii, Polygonatum odoratum var. pluriflorum and specialists; Liparis kumokiri, Davallia mariesii and Chrysosplenium flagelliferum etc.
