This study was carried out to obtain basic ecological information required for wetland restoration in Korea
where wetland is very deficient. To arrive at the objective, we collected the basic ecological information for
wetland restoration in four Doombeongs located on Goesan of Chungcheongbuk-do (province), central Korea
where maintains relatively integrate feature of Doombeong. Synthesized horizontal distribution of vegetation
based on vegetation established naturally except that established by artificial interference, Potamogeton distinctus
community, Spirodela polyrhiza community, Sagittaria aginashi community, Trapa japonica community, Scirpus
triangulatus community, and Sparganium japonicum community, Persicaria thunbergii community, Juncus
effusus var. decipiens community, Ludwigia prostrata community, Humulus japonicus community, Persicaria
nodosa community, Miscanthus sacchariflorus community, Phragmites communis – P. japonica community, and
Scirpus radicans community, S. gracilistyla community, Spiraea prunifolia for. simpliciflora community, and
Rosa multiflora community, and Salix koreensis community and Acer tataricum subsp. ginnala community
tended to be established in aquatic zone, herbaceous plant dominated vegetation zone, shrub dominated
vegetation zone, and tree and sub-tree dominated vegetation zone, respectively. As the result of DCA
ordination based on vegetation data collected from several Doombeongs and their surrounding areas, plant
communities tended to be classified into aquatic, wetland, and riparian plant dominated stands. Spatial niche
and species composition of major plant communities composing those stands were suggested as the reference
information for creating ecological pond as a type of wetland. Further, the importance of wetland and the
necessity of wetland restoration was discussed based on functions that the wetland displays.
