본 연구는 경북 영양군 검마산(해발 1,0l7m, 북위 36˚ 42' 30.0"~36˚ 45' 30.1", 동경 129˚ 12' 30.0"~129˚ 18' 00.0"E)의 관속식물 분포를 파악하기 위하여 수행되었다. 2004년 4월부터 2006년 10월까지 11회에 걸쳐 채집된 관속식물은 총 91과 318속 424종 3아종 73변종 13품종의 총 513종류로 정리되었으며, 이들을 유용성에 따라 구분하면 식용 243종류, 약용 307종류, 공업용 122종류, 관상용 85종류, 용도가 밝혀지지 않은 식물 77종류이었다. 특기할만한 식물로는 한국특산식물이 9종류, 환경부지정 법적 보호식물 4종류, 귀화식물이 21종류로서 귀화율은 4.1%, 도시화지수는 7.5%로 나타났다.
This study was carried out to clarify the distribution of vascular plants and their usefulness in Geommasan of Gyeongbuk (1,017m, 36˚ 42' 30.0"~36˚ 45' 30.1"N, 129˚ 12' 30.0"~129˚ 18' 00.0"E). The vascular plants collected 11 times (from April 2004 to October 2006) were consisted of total 513 taxa; 91 families, 318 genera, 424 species, 3 subspecies, 73 varieties and 13 forms. Among them, edible, medicinal, industrial, ornamental and unknown of usefulness plants were 243 taxa, 307 taxa, 122 taxa, 85 taxa, 77 taxa, respectively. Korean endemic plants of this area were 11 taxa, and Law-protected plants by Ministry of Environment were 4 taxa, The naturalized plants were 21 taxa, therefore naturalized ratio was 4.1%, and Urban index 7.5%.
