韩国的乡村林木与农业生物多样性(英文)

韩国的乡村林木处于偏远村庄附近,单独的树木或一片树林,往往构成风水因素。乡村林木也有野生动物生境的功能,有益于农业生物多样性。本文中,乡村林木分为4种类型(天然林、半天然林、半人工林、人工林)23个主要树种(优势种或次优势种)。赤松(Pinus densiflora)在50个地点是优势种,光叶榉(Zelkova serrata)在45个地点为优势种。乡村林木立地植物共分125科、519属、1081种。尽管乡村林木占地面积极小,占100 000 km2韩国国土面积的0.00278%,但这种生态系统具有重要的生物多样性和生境保护功能。乡村林木不仅是保育生物多样性的一个基础,还能为韩国提供生态系统服务。

Village Woods and Agricultural Biodiversity in South Korea

In South Korea vilage woods are composed of an isolated tree or a number of trees, located near rural vilages and which have an apparent fengshui shape. Vilage woods also function as wildlife habitat and promote agricultural biodiversity. Here vilage woods were classiifed in to four types （natural forest, semi-natural forest, half-natural forest and artiifcial forest） and 23 main tree species（dominant or sub-dominant species） identiifed.Pinus densilfora is dominant at 50 sites, and Zelkova serrata is dominant at 45 sites. Across village woods, emerged plants comprise 125 families, 519 genus and 1081 species. In spite of the extremely small area of village wood, 100 000 km2 or 0.00278% Korea’s territory, this ecosystem has an important biodiversity and habitat conservation function. Vilage woods are not only a base for conserving biodiversity, but also deliver ecosystem services in South Korea.
