During the expedition of Mt. Chanbai-shan, China in 1999 to 2002, a total of 67 species belonging to 47 genera, 7 subfamilies are recognized. Of these, 11 species, Eudonia hiranoi Inoue, Scoparia yamanakai Inoue, Crambus argyrophorus Butler, Goniorhynchus exemplaris Hampson, Herpetogramma moderatalis (Christoph), Herpetogramma pseudomagna Yamanaka, Opsibotys perfuscalis Munroe et Mutuura, Pleuroptya harutai (Inoue), Pyrausta rubiginalis (Hubner), Hypsopygia regina Butler, and Orthopygia nannodes (Butler) are reported for the first time from China. The synonymies, distributional ranges, and photographs of newly reported species are provided.

During the expedition of Mt. Changbai-shan, China in 2000, a total 24 species of Carabidae was recognized. Of these, 4 species, Hemicarabus(Hemicarabus) macleayi coreensis(Breuning, 1933), Leptocarabus(Aulonocarabus) canaliculatus vojnitsi(Mandl, 1980), Megodontus(Nabicaraus) vietinghoffi borealis Kwon et Lee, 1984, and Cymindis(Tarulus) vaporariorum immaculatus Dejean et Boisduval, 1829, are reported for the first time from China.

During the expedition of Mt. Chanbai-shan, China in 2000, a total of 71 species of Olethreutinae was recognized. Of these, 15 species were reported of the first time from China. Phiaris semicremana (Christoph, 1881) was newly combined. The host plants, synonymies, and photographs of newly reported species are provided.

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

The investigation was made about distribution and ecological characteristics of Rhododendron mucronulatum var. mucronulatum, R. dauricum and R. schlippenbachii on Mt. Changbai in China. The Ericaceae plants are known to be highly ornamental and easy to cultivate. The results of investigations are like followings. The plant species diversity was the highest in habitats of R. mucronulatum var. mucronulatum, followed by those of R. schlippenbachii and R. dauricum. R. mucronulatum var. mucronulatum community was found in the northwest exposure areas of 300m in altitude. Corylus heterophylla, Carex humilis var. nana, Atractylodes japonica species also grew in the R. mucronulatum var. mucronulatum community. R. dauricum communities were widely distributed in the west exposure areas of 1226-1860m above sea level. R. schlippenbachii populations were found in areas of under 300m above sea level, which has dry soil. But humidity of air was relatively high in the place. Artemisia japonica, Lespedeza bicolor and Dactylis glomerata were found around the habitats of R. schlippenbachii. Phalanx type of plants were dominant near the habitats of Ericaceae plants as 61%. Further, there appeared higher plant life totalling to 72 taxa comprising 54 species, 16 varieties and 2 forma with 31 families and 59 genuses at the whole survey area. Among these, Compositae plants excellent in resistance to environment was surveyed the most, accounting for 30.0%.

This research conducted a vegetation survey on Mt. Changbai which are habitats of Papaver radicatum var. pseudoradicatum to obtain a basic data for artificial cultivation. The habitas of P. radicatum var. pseudoradicatum consisted of two communities as Dryas octopetala var. asiatica community and Aconogonon ajanense community. The community units as D. octopetala var. asiatica community and A. ajanense community belong to alpine vegetation in Mt. Changbai. A. ajanense community is distributed around altitude of 2007-2061m, and D. octopetala var. asiatica community is distributed altitude of 2350-2570m at relatively high elevation. According to the correlation between the vegetation structure and elevation. This vegetation structure can be simplified at the herb layer. The vegetation is classified into D. octopetala var. asiatica community and A. ajanense community on the axis 1 basis in the BC ordination analysis. Further, there appeared higher plant life totalling to 40 taxa comprising 35 species, 4 varieties and 1 forma with 20 families and 34 genuses at the whole survey area. Among these, Cyperaceae and Ericaceae plants excellent in resistance to environment was surveyed the most, accounting for 16%.
