Abstract

|
Species composition, life form, biomass and soil properties of the halophyte communities were investigated from July to September, 1982.
At the reclaimed land of Sanho-ri, sand dune of Jido, salt marsh of Suncheon Bay, and Somjin River estuary of Baealdo, species numbers were 26, 14, 13 and 7, and dominant species were Salicornia herbaceae, Carex pumila and Suaeda japonica, respectively. Species composition of the 4 investigated areas was 13 families, 25 genera and 39 species, and of them, 10 families, 21 genera and 24 species were attributed to halophytes.
Out of 22 life forms, the representative for Jido was G-D_4-R_(1-3)-e.t and those for the other sites were Th-D_4-R_5-e.
Above ground biomass of all species for Sanho-ri, Jido, Suncheon Bay and Baealdo were 441.3, 202.0, 150.7 and 353.3 g.dw/㎡ and the ratios of above ground biomass halophytes to all species were 93.5, 92.7, 90.8 and 100%, respectively. The leading dominant species formed a continuum according to the salt gradiant.
The similarity between Baealdo and Suncheon Bay was relatively high, and Jido was quite different from the others in species composition.
Aster tripolium was stenohaline and appeared at the low salt concentration, but Suaeda maritima and Suaeda asparagoides were curyhaline and occured at the relatively high salt concentration.
