“…However, compared to Bukhansan National Park, and the mountains Cheongnyangsan, Namsan, Gwanaksan, Ansan, and Bongsan in the Seoul metropolitan region, where species diversity was 1.0 or higher (Lee et al, 2021;Jang et al, 2013;Han et al, 2022;Kang and Bang, 2001), those communities had lower diversity overall. There are findings that the low species diversity is attributable to a decrease in the number of species in the shrub and herb layers over time, leading to a simplification of the plant community structure (Kim et al, 2021), but there seems to be a differ-ence since Mt.…”

“…Among the planted stands distributed in urban forests, it was suggested that communities dominated by Pinus rigida or Robinia pseudoacacia are likely to change when native species appear in the lower layers, but the succession will not proceed smoothly (Lee et al, 2021). However, in the lower layers of this study site, as Quercus mongolica is becoming dominant, succession to a Quercus mongolica community can be expected (Jang et al, 2013). Meanwhile, Pinus rigida, a plantation species native to North America, occupied approx.…”

“…In terms of vegetation, natural forests are generally dominated by Carpinus laxiflora or deciduous Quercus spp., but forest vegetation in or near cities has a distorted structure, including development in peripheral areas, dominance of exotic species, and unformed lower layers due to excessive use (Park et al, 2009;Lee et al, 1997;Yi and Choi, 2000). For Seoul, it was reported that although natural vegetation was dominant, the inside of forests is colonized by exotic species including Pinus rigida, Robinia pseudoacacia, and Castanea crenata, and has the characteristic of being dominated by tree species that are highly adaptable to the urban environment (Lee et al, 2005;Lee et al, 2006aLee et al, , 2006bJang et al, 2013;Kong et al, 2014;Han et al, 2014;Ro et al, 2015). As the mountains Cheongnyangsan, Bulgoksan, and Bulamsan located in the Seoul Metropolitan region were dominated by Pinus rigida, Robinia pseudoacacia, and Larix kaempferi rather than natural vegetation, it was suggested that they need to be managed to restore biodiversity (Oh et al, 1988;Lee et al, 2021;Lee and Shim, 2017).…”

“…In a study on the vegetation structure of urban forests, it was reported that forests near the Seoul metropolitan region were supposed to be dominated by native tree species including Carpinus laxiflora, Quercus acutissima, and Quercus serrata, but severe urbanization and use by residents have resulted in such vegetation being rare (Park et al, 2009;Lee et al, 1997). Although mountains located in downtown Seoul, including Namsan, Gwanaksan, Daemosan, and Suraksan, have natural vegetation such as Quercus mongolica, Pinus densiflora and Quercus acutissima, they appear to have been damaged by the colonization of invasive species including Robinia pseudoacacia and Pinus rigida (Lee et al, 2006a;Jang et al, 2013;Kong et al, 2014). In addition, even in the mountains Cheongnyangsan, Bulgoksan, and Bulamsan, as planted tree species including Pinus rigida, Robinia pseudoacacia, and Larix kaempferi are more dominant than natural vegetation, it was suggested that vegetation management is required (Oh et al, 1988;Lee et al, 2021;Lee and Shim, 2017).…”

Background and objective: Urban forests fulfill a range of functions, including promoting leisure activities and improving urban landscapes, but are different in structure from natural forests. In the case of forests near the Seoul metropolitan region, forests dominated by native tree species must be formed, but vegetation management that involves in minimal intervention is essential due to external disturbances, artificially planted species, and invasive species. This study was conducted to preferentially survey the vegetation status of Mt. Chilbosan, Gyeonggi-do with the goal of contributing to the sound use and management of the mountain.Methods: Eighty quadrats were established, and the species names and characteristics for each stratum were surveyed by dividing them into canopy, understory, and shrub layer. Based on the surveyed vegetation data, communities were classified through TWINSPAN or DCA analysis, and the characteristics of each community were examined.Results: The plant communities were classified into a total of 7 dominant groups: Quercus mongolica, Quercus mongolica-Pinus rigida, Pinus rigida-Pinus densiflora, Pinus rigida-Quercus spp., Castanea crenata-Quercus acutissima, Robinia pseudoacacia, and Pinus koraiensis. Communities dominated by Quercus mongolica and Pinus rigida had similar species and vegetation structures. Communities dominated by artificially planted tree species such as Castanea crenata, Robinia pseudoacacia, and Pinus koraiensis are distributed around the forest edges or frequently used hiking trails and are damaged by various disturbances. Overall, not only is it difficult for succession to proceed due to external influences and soil acidification, but because species with high adaptability to acidity are also expected to emerge, making long-term monitoring necessary.Conclusion: Mt. Chilbosan had a good environment, but it was disturbed by a low elevation, a drop in the groundwater level due to surrounding development, and an increase in visitors. To improve the current state, it is necessary to induce and manage the transition to native forests adapted to the urban environment by reflecting the vegetation structure's characteristics and changes.

Review on the succession process of Pinus densiflora forests in South Korea: progressive and disturbance-driven succession

et al. 2020

Background: Most of the Pinus densiflora forests, occupying the largest area, have been restored in South Korea since the 1970s. As young pioneer forests, the succession process is under way. Since the forests are distributed nationwide and are vulnerable to disturbances, the process may differ depending on the geography and/or site conditions. Therefore, we reviewed the direction, the seral communities, and the late-successional species of progressive and disturbance-driven succession nationwide in the cool-temperate zone through meta-analysis and empirical observations. Main text: As a result of a meta-analysis of the direct succession and vertical structure, we found that the P. densiflora forest is in a directionally progressive succession, changing to the broadleaved forest after forming a mixed forest with its overwhelming successor, Quercus species (particularly Q. mongolica and Q. serrata). In dry stands in a relative sense, the Quercus species was favored occupying over 80% of the abundance of the succeeding species. Therefore, in dry stands, it is presumed that Quercus-dominated stage would last for a long time due to the current dominance and long life span, and eventually, it settles as Quercus-broadleaved forest with a site change. Contrary to this, it is presumed that in mesic stands where Quercus species do not occur or have low abundance, the late-successional broadleaved species settle early to form a co-dominant forest with multiple species. Due to geographical limits, the species composition of the two late-successional forests is different. Disturbances such as insect pests and fire retrogressed vulnerable P. densiflora forest for a while. However, it was mostly restored to the Quercus forest and is expected to be incorporated in the pathway of the dry stand. Conclusions: We revealed the succession process of P. densiflora forests according to geography and moisture and found that stand moisture had a decisive effect on the species and abundance of the successor. Although the P. densiflora forest is undergoing structural changes, the forest is still young; so within a few decades, physiognomy is not likely to change. Therefore, the decrease in the forest area may be due to other causes such as disturbances and forest conversion rather than due to succession.
