Analysis of tree taxa found in site of forest restoration projects in Korea
The monitoring data conducted on 72 forest restoration sites in Korea that have implemented the projects from 2008 to 2020 has been analyzed to identify the trees that are mainly found in those sites. First, taxa with overlapping appearances by site were excluded and a list including growth types was developed. The frequency of appearances by taxon was identified by classifying 27 sites according to the forest landscape and ecosystem management area in order to prevent regional bias of the sites and the main tree species were identified through laws and references. The research has identified 225 taxa trees throughout the entire research sites. In terms of growth type, in the following order, deciduous 187 taxa (83.1%), evergreen 34 taxa (15.1%) and semi-evergreen 4 taxa (1.8%). Arboreal was 121 taxa (53.8%), shrub 77 taxa (34.2%) and vine 27 taxa (12.7%) in the said order. The frequency of appearance in the 27 sites is in descending order: Lespedeza bicolor Turcz., Rubus crataegifolius Bunge, Pinus densiflora Siebold & Zucc. etc. The main tree species were 59 taxa (26.2%) of native plants for forest restoration designated by the Korea Forest Service, 49 taxa (21.8%) of trees recommended for reforestation, and 12 taxa (5.3%) of temperate evergreen broadleaf trees. The study result would contribute to identifying the problems of the tree taxa appearing in the restoration sites and to select trees for the future restoration projects.
