Abstract
The succession process in terms of species composition and stand structure was directly tracked for 10 years in permanent plots of five Korean cool-temperate forests having different stand ages and topography: Pinus-Quercus forest (PQ), Quercus-Tilia forest (QT), Broadleaved-Abies mixed forest (BA), Populus-Salix forest (PS), and subalpine forest (SA). Although the 10-year change in mature forests was small, succession was detected by applying the pre-developed climax index. The species composition based on the climax index implied that PQ is at pioneer stage, QT and PS are at intermediate stage, while BA and SA are at the late-successional stage. The stems were regulated in a density-dependent manner; severer in forests such as PQ and QT with high initial densities, and severer in the dense mid-story than in the upper-story. Consequently, the basal area increased in the upper-story and decreased in the mid-story. As the abundance of species with higher climax index increased, succession exhibited a progressive direction. However, SA suffered chronic disturbances, and showed fluctuations. During the study, BA and PS were also damaged but they were resilient to site-related natural disturbances. Our findings through a 10-year permanent-plot study may have meaningful implications for explaining mature forest succession in other regions of Korea.
期刊介绍：
Journal of Plant Biology, an official publication of the Botanical Society of Korea, is an international journal devoted to basic researches in biochemistry, cellular biology, development, ecology, genetics, molecular biology, physiology, and systematics of plants.
The Journal publishes the following categories of paper:
Original articles -- For publication in Journal of Plant Biology the manuscript must provide a significant new contribution to our understanding of plants. All areas of plant biology are welcome. No limit on the length, but a concise presentation is encouraged.
Reviews -- Invited by the EiC.
Brief Communications -- Concise but independent report representing significant contribution to plant science.
The Botanical Society of Korea was founded on November 30, 1957 to promote studies, disseminate and exchange information on the field of plant biology. The first issue of The Korean Journal of Botany, the official publication of the society, was published on April 1, 1958. It was published twice a year, but quarterly from 5th volume in 1962. In 1994, it was renamed to Journal of Plant Biology and published in English since 1996. The journal entered its 50th year of publication in 2007.
