The Character of Community Structure and Distribution for Thuja koraiensis Nakai, South Korea

The study was investigated in vegetation and environmental factors of Thuja koraiensis habitats where provided for ecological evidence data for conservation and management. Study plots were located at altitudes of 1,000∼1,588 m with inclinations of 10∼30°. A total of 150 taxa was identified 22 quadrates in 6 study sites. The highest basal area was analyzed in Mt. Gariwangsan 49.98 m2/ha with the lowest Mt. Hwaaksan 3.46 m2/ha. Thuja koraiensis forest was classified into two communities; Abeis nephrolepis-Taxus cuspidata community, Betula ermanii-Thuja koraiensis community. As a result of Multi-Response Permutation Procedures test, there was significant difference among the communities.
