This study aimed to investigate the flora of Jinjosan Mt. (Uljin-gun, Gyeongsangbuk-do). The vascular plants were surveyed 9 times between March 2019 and April 2020. The results of this survey revealed a total of 414 taxa comprising of 87 families, 274 genera, 365 species, 12 subspecies, 32 varieties, and 5 forms. Among them, 9 taxa were Korean endemic plants and 5 taxa were rare plants of Korea. In addition, the specific plants by floristic region were 66 taxa including 1 taxon of grade IV, 18 taxa of grade III, 24 taxa of grade II, and 23 taxa of grade I. Additionally, eight taxa were classified as plants adaptable to climate change. Thirty-one taxa were of alien plants and three taxa were of ecosystem disturbance species, which were also investigated. The percentage of naturalized plants species and the urbanization index were estimated to be 7.5% and 5.0%, respectively. Our results provide basic data on vascular plants flora, and will guide the conservation processes of plant resources such as plant diversity and distributional changes in Jinjosan Mt.

본 연구는 강원도 영월군에 위치하는 한반도습지에 분포하는 관속식물상을 파악하여 내륙습지 생태계의 식물 자원 관리보전을 위한 기초자료로 활용하고자 하였다. 조사는 2019년 4월부터 2020년 5월까지 총 9회에 걸쳐 수행하였다. 조사결과 분포가 확인된 관속식물은 93과 309 속 456종 10아종 37변종 5품종 등 총 508분류군이었다. 이 중 멸종위기 야생식물은 II급에 해당하는 2분류군이 확인 되었으며, 희귀식물은 8분류군이었다. 특산식물은 8분류 군이었으며, 식물구계학적 특정식물은 V등급에 3분류군, IV등급에 10분류군, III등급에 15분류군, II등급에 17분류군 그리고 I등급에 26분류군으로 총 71분류군이었다. 귀 화식물은 57분류군이 확인되었으며, 이에 의한 귀화율은 11.2%, 도시화지수는 17.8%로 산출되었고, 생태계교란 야생식물은 5분류군이 분포하는 것으로 조사되었다. 본 연구결과는 람사르습지에 등재되어 있어 보전가치가 매우 높은 한반도 습지의 효율적인 관리를 위한 유용한 기초자료로 활용될 것으로 판단된다.

This study was carried out to investigate the flora of Mt. Baegam (1,099 m) from March, 2014 to July, 2015. The vascular plants were summarized as 506 taxa, including 90 families, 293 genera, 435 species, 5 subspecies, 58 varieties and 8 forms. Among the investigated 506 taxa, 14 Korean endemic, 16 rare plants and 80 specially designated plants (Ⅴ degree: 3 taxa, Ⅳ degree: 7 taxa, Ⅲ degree: 22 taxa, Ⅱdegree: 21 taxa, Ⅰ degree: 27 taxa) by the Ministry of Environment were also included. The naturalized plants were 36 taxa including 3 ecosystem disturbance wild plant. The urbanization index and percent of naturalized plants species were estimated as 11.2% and 7.1%, respectively. Useful plants of 506 taxa listed consists of 207 taxa (40.9%) of edible plants, 200 taxa (39.5%) of pasture plants, 146 taxa (28.9%) of medicinal plants, 58 taxa (11.5%) of ornamental plants and 15 taxa (3.0%) of timber plants, respectively.

This study intended to investigate environmental factors including soil and vegetation in order to understand the environmental and ecological characteristics of 12 different habitats of Iris odaesanensis. These habitats, according to investigations, are mostly located at elevation of 280 m to 1,555 m with angles of inclination ranging from 2 degree to 30 degrees. A total of 273 vascular plants are identified in 23 quadrates of 12 habitats. Dominant species of woody plants in 12 habitats are represented as Quercus mongolica in the tree layer (T1) and the subtree (T2) layer, and Lespedeza maximowiczii, Lindera obtusiloba, Rhododendron schlippenbachii in the shrub (S) layer. The importance value of Iris odaesanensis is 9.65%, as regards the herbaceous layer, and 6 highly ranked species such as Carex siderosticta (3.92%), Meehania urticifolia (2.67%), Spodiopogon cotulifer (2.58%), Aconitum pseudolaeve (2.51%), Carex bostrychostigma (2.28%) and Disporum smilacinum (2.09%) are considered to be an affinity with Iris odaesanensis in their habitats. The degree of their average species diversity is 1.32, and that of dominance and evenness are 0.08 and 0.89, respectively. The type of soil is sandy loam and loam, and the average field capacity of soil is 28.31%. Their average organic matter is 16.71%, soil pH 5.29, and available phosphorus is 9.29%. Correlation coefficients analysis based on environmental factors, vegetation and soil analysis shows that the coverage of Iris odaesanensis is correlated with pH and dominance, and species richness is positive related with species diversity.
