담배나방의 알의 고추화 담배에서의 포장내 공간분포와 식물내 분포 특성을 조사하였다. 식물체 1주를 표본단위로 할 때 고추포장에서의 알의 공간분포는 집중분포 유형 (a=1.3915,b=1.1648)을 보였으나 담배포장에서는 균일분포 유형(a=1.6.35, b=0.6880)을 보였다. 알의 고추 부위별 빈도는 잎(76.2%), 과실(16.8%), 줄기(6.5%), 꽃(0.45)의 순서로 대부분 잎에 위치를 하였다. 잎에서는 70.1%가 잎의 앞면, 25.2%가 잎의 뒷면에 위치하였다. 담배의 경우도 대부분 잎에 위치하였으나, 잎 앞면과 잎 뒷면이 각각 33.7%와 66.3%로 잎뒷면에 더 많이 위치하였다.

This study analyzed the status of climate-change indicator plants native to the main islands of the Korean peninsula, while elucidating their distribution characteristics. Information on flora from over 129 island locations, comprising more than 100 species of native plants, was collected, compiled into a database, and utilized as raw data. The distribution of 193 climate-change indicator plants was confirmed. The distribution area of broadleaf evergreen trees and ferns, including Mallotus japonicus and Cyrtomium falcatum, was relatively wide. In contrast, the distribution of common northern plants such as Corydalis turtschaninovii and Malus baccata was limited. If global warming persists, northern plant distribution is expected to decrease rapidly in the Korean Peninsula island region, while the northern limit line of the southern plants is expected to migrate further northward. During this process, it is likely that the plant congregation structure and species diversity within the island region will change dynamically. In this study, comparative analyses between species and regions were conducted by assessing the relative frequency of their occurrence, and six types of botanical geographic distribution patterns were noted.

본 연구는 팔공산자연공원 갓바위지구에 분포하는 관속식물상을 조사함과 아울러 자연자원의 보존과 관리를 위한 기초자료를 제공하기 위해 수행하였다. 갓바위지구를 대상으로 2015년 4월부터 2017년 10월까지 식물상을 조사한 결과는 다음과 같다. 조사한 자료를 바탕으로 식물상 목록을 작성한 결과, 전체 식물상은 75과 167속 214종 3아종 18변종 3품종으로 총 238분류군이 확인되었으며, 2012년 확인된 관속식물상 59과 108속 117종 14변종 3품종 등 총 134분류군(You, 2012)과는 다소 차이가 있었다. 식물구계학적 특정종은 20종, 귀화식물은 총 18종이 확인되었다. 조사지역을 지형적 특성, 이용적 특성, 수광량 등에 따라 3개 권역으로 구분 조사를 실시한 결과 출현 식물종수는 A 구간(119종)<C 구간(147종)<B 구간(161종)순으로 나타났으나 식물상 다양성은 A 구간(126.60)<B 구간(127.78)<C 구간(132.43) 순으로 확인되었다. 즉, C 구간이 A·B 구간에 비해 다양한 종과 속을 포함하고 있는 것으로 분석되었다. 갓바위지구는 팔공산의 다른 지구와 비교시 다양한 식물상이 관찰되지는 않았으나 생태학적으로 중요종인 특정 식물종 등이 서식하고 있고 지구 곳곳에 다양한 지형자원이 산재되어 있으므로 중요종의 서식처 보호 및 자연자원 보존을 위한 관리계획 수립이 필요하며, 인위적 간섭과 교란정도가 상대적으로 높은 A·B 지역은 환경 압력을 저감시킬 수 있도록 등산로 폐쇄, 휴식년제 도입, 훼손지 복원, 귀화식물에 대한 장기 모니터링 등 건전한 산림생태계 복원을 위한 노력이 필요할 것으로 판단된다.

Mt. Bonghwa reaches a height of 800 m (2,870 ft) and stands on the flank of Mt. Daeam-san, which has an elevation of 1,304 m (4,278 ft). It is important to survey the flora of Bonghwa-san in that it is a way to make out what kind of plant species exist in DMZ due to the geographical characteristics of Bonghwa-san adjacent to Korean DMZ.

Aquatic plants serve the crucial function of helping to balance water reservoir ecosystem, as they filter and remove major minerals required for algal growth such as nitrogen, ammonia, and nitrates. Aquatic plants provide food, shade, and protection for the aquatic biome in and around the reservoir. Thus, it is important to accurately determine the existence and areal extent of the aquatic plants. In the present study drone-based facilities were used for this purpose. In the Muncheon water reservoir, Gyeongbuk, the Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) and Surface Algal Bloom Index (SABI) were used to determine the existence status of the aquatic plants. The data so obtained exhibited reasonable accuracy; drone-based facilities can be used in future to identify the areal extent of aquatic plants.

South Korea is the northernmost distributional territory on the Camellietea japonicae (evergreen broad-leaved forests of the warm-temperate zone) in East Asia. A total of 40 stands were collected in terms of an ecologically-naturalized wild tea population (WTP), and their species composition was analyzed by Zürich-Montpellier School’s method with preliminary regard to forest canopy idendtification. Stand types were characterized by ecological flora’s criteria such as Raunkiaer’s life-form, neophyte, zonal distribution, and nativeness of species. Expansion of WTP distribution into the interior of the peninsula was recognized, than expected. The highest and northernmost WTPs have been recorded at Mt. Palgong, Daegu (390 m a.s.l.) and Iksan Jeonbuk (latitude 36° 03′ 33″), respectively. Altitudinal and latitudinal WTP distribution of Korea under continental climate shows lower than Japanese situation under oceanic climate. Community structure generally involved a few human interferences. Syngeographically WTP distribution was limited on the warm-temperate zone and the southernmost cool-temperate southern·submontane zone. First driving force on distributional expansion of the WTP was anthropogenic, particularly in the northernmost distribution area. We finally confirmed an actual existence of the WTP in South Korea and suggested a long-term monitoring on the WTPs in national view of in-situ genetic resources with higher frost-resistance.

The purpose of this study is to offer the flora data for conserving the biodiversity of Gyeongju National Park by objective surveying and analysing the flora distributed in Mt. Gumi District, Gyeongju National Park, South Korea. The flora of Mt. Gumi were surmmarized as 476 taxa including 97 families, 297 genera, 419 species, 3 subspecies, 46 varieties and 8 forms. The rare plants were 6 taxa such as Aristolochia contorta, Paeonia lactiflora var. trichocarpa, Potentilla discolor, Berchemia berchemiaefolia, Trigonotis icumae and Iris odaesanensis. The Korean endemic plants were 9 taxa such as Carpinus laxiflora, Pseudostellaria coreana, Philadelphus schrenkii, Indigofera koreana, Lespedeza maritima, Vicia chosenensis, Galium koreanum, Lonicera subsessilis and Weigela subsessilis. The specific plants by floristic region were 38 taxa such as Salix chaenomeloides (I), Hylomecon vernalis (I), Oxalis obtriangulata (I), Viola orientalis (II), Adoxa moschatellina (II), Cirsium chanroenicum (II), Vitex negundo var. incisa (III) and so forth. The naturalized plants were 36 taxa such as Fallopia dumetorum, Chenopodium album, Lepidium virginicum, Amorpha fruticosa, Euphorbia supina, Carduus crispus, Erigeron strigosus, Festuca myuros and so forth. The invasive aline plant was Aster pilosus. The target plants adaptable to climate change were 8 taxa such as Artemisia rubripes, Carpesium macrocephalum and so forth.

Metcalfa pruinosa was considered to be a very harmful invasive species, due to its high species density in nature and wide range of its host plants. M. pruinosa was distributed in 28 sites among 143 sites. M. pruinosa has wide range and diverse host plants of 52 families 110 species including crop, fruits and forest trees. At present, the identified host plant of M. pruinosa are composed of 62 families and 145 species in total since their first appearance was reported. M. pruinosa was found in roadside 46.7%, followed by forests 33.3% and orchard 20%. Nymphs and adults cause damage to crop and orchard by sucking juice, outbreak of fungi through secretion of wax, and reduction of plant assimilation due to the nectar of nymphs. Also, it reduces the merchantable quality of fruits and thus causes economic damage. It is judged that M. pruinosa has been moved along major road via the traffic vehicles.

We investigated the spatial and temporal variations of phytoplankton in Youngil Bay as well as the effect of water physico-chemical parameters. Water samples at three stations were collected and measured monthly from May to November in 2010. The taxa of phytoplankton observed in this study were classified as 33 Bacillariophyceae, 23 Dinophyceae, 1 Euglenophyceae, 2 Crysophyceae and 1 Cryptophyceae. The highest biomass of phytoplankton was observed at inner station in September, which was characterized high concentration of dissolved inorganic phosphate(DIP) in surface water after rainfall. Nutrient concentrations, chlorophyll-a and phytoplankton biomass values showed the marked trend to decrease from the inner bay to the outer bay. Pearson's correlation co-efficient between salinity and other water parameters including chlorophyll-a, pH and DIP showed the strong negative relationship r=-0.82, r=-0.78 and r=-0.75 (p＜0.01), respectively. These results indicate that the water quality of Youngil Bay could be stimulated by nutrient enriched input from Hyeogsan River discharge, and the spatial and temporal distribution of phytoplankton biomass principally limited to DIP concentration from Hyeogsan river.

Corythucha marmorata Uhler was newly recorded in Korea as a invasive species at Pohang-si, Gyeongsangbuk-do, Korea in 2011 and at Changwon-si, Gyeongsangnam-do, Korea in 2012. Adults of this species show reticular forewings with a lot of transparent membranes and also show pterigoid process of paranotum with strong processes. This invasive species was originated from North America, and then intruded into Europe and Japan. This species is presumed became an epidemic horticultural pest at present and it is injuring almost of Asteraceae leaves. It was presumed that the invasion of Corythucha marmorata into Korea was prior to September of 2011.

This study was conducted for clarifying distribution and characteristics of marshy Ericaceae plants on Mt. Changbai in China. The marshy Ericaceae plants in wetland of Mt. Changbai were investigated on about 1400 m altitude. This region is various developmental wetlands and vegetation mixture of needle-leaf trees and broad-leaf trees. This region also is start point of the coniferous forest zone in Mt. Changbai. As results of these researches, L. palustre var. diversipilosum and L. palustre var. decumbens populations were investigated in Larix olgensis var. amurensis community. R. lapponicum subsp. parvifolium var. parvifolium community appeared as a typical community. Environmental conditions of L. palustre var. diversipilosum and L. palustre var. decumbens populations' habitats are more soil humidity and shade condition. R. lapponicum subsp. parvifolium var. parvifolium community habitat, however, has more deposits and humidity condition. Therefore when the plants were cultivated, we should recognize the growth condition such as maintenance of humidity and control deposits. The flora of marshy Ericaceae speci
