운문산 자연휴식년제구역 일원의 식물상과 용도를 파악하고자 2007년 11월부터 2009년 10월까지 월 평균 2회이상 조사하였다. 조사결과 운문산 일원에 분포하는 관속식물은 98과 304속 514종 3아종 68변종 20품종으로 총 605분류군이었다. 이중 희귀 및 멸종위기야생식물은 21분류군, 특산식물은 29분류군, 식물구계학적 특정식물종은 노랑무늬붓꽃과 천마 등 70분류군으로 나타났다. 귀화식물은 23분류군으로 나타났다. 용도별 구성은 식용 225분류군(37.2%), 약용 191분류군(31.6%), 관상용 64분류군(10.6%), 목초용 46분류군(7.6%), 목재용 18분류군(3.0%), 섬유용 14분류군(2.3%), 공업용 3분류군(0.5%)로 나타났다. 자연자원관리를 위하여 자연체험학습장으로 설정하여 불필요한 간섭을 최소화하고, 생태계의 변화에 대한 지속적인 모니터링을 통하여 효율적인 관리대책을 마련하는 방안이 요구된다.
This study was carried out to investigate the distribution of vascular plants and their use from 2007 to 2009 in Mt. Unmum(Cheongdo-gun, Gyeongsangbuk-Do). The vascular plants were summarized as 605 taxa including 98 families, 304 genus, 514 species, 3 subspecies, 68 varieties, and 20 forma. Among the investigated 605 taxa, 21 rare and endangered plants, 29 Korean endemic plants were included. Based on the list of specially designated plants by Ministry of Environment, 70 taxa included Iris odaesanensis and Gastrodia elata were recorded in the investigated area. The naturalized plants were identified as 23 taxa and the percent of naturalized index(NI) was 3.8% of total 605 taxa vascular plants. Usage of 605 taxa were consists of 225 taxa(37.2%) of edible plants, 191 taxa(31.6%) of medicinal plants, 64 taxa(10.6%) of ornamental plants, 46 taxa(7.6%) of pasture plants, 18 taxa(3.0%) of timber plants, 14 taxa(2.3%) of fiber plants, and 3 taxa(0.5%) of industrial plants. To management of natural resource, we suppose that it is required to establish an ecological learning area to minimize human disturbance and an effective managemet strategy by continuous monitoring for ecosystem change.
