It was found that vascular plants distributed at Yeondo islet were composed of 107 families, 312 genera, 408 species, 2 subspecies, 51 varieties and 5 forms, totaling 466 taxa. 39 species including Myrica rubra among the 466 taxa were evergreen broad-leaved tree, and as for flora region science-based specially designated plants by the Ministry of Environment, it was surveyed that 85 taxa(46 families, 70 genera, 80 species and 5 varieties) were distributed by identifying 53 taxa in grade one, 1 taxa in grade two, 26 taxa in grade three, 3 taxa in grade four, and Milletia japonica and Arisaema negishii in grade five. In the naturalized plants, a total of 42 taxa(13 families, 37 genera, 40 species and 2 varieties) were surveyed to be distributed and the ratio of their naturalization and Urbanization Index was analyzed to be 9.01% and 14.63%, respectively. Life form spectra bore a type of H-Dl-R5-e. Vegetation of Yeondo islet are classified as Pinus thunbergii community and Castanopsis sieboldii community, and Miscanthus sinesis var. purpurascens community spread on an gently slanted mountain side.

We have collected two species of firefly, Hotaria papariensis and Hotaria unmunsana to investigate their patterns of appearances and distributions from May to July in 1999 at 18 localities in Korea. A total of 1,096 individuals of these two species were collected: H. papariensis 584 and H unmunsana 512. The highest appearance level of adult firefly was different from each altitude. They appeared from the beginning of June to the end of June at 200 m sea level, the middle of June to the end of June at 200∼400 m, the end of June to the beginning of July at 400∼600 m and the beginning of July to the middle of July at 600∼800 m, respectively, All regions of these two species were cohabit, but Cheju-do region is the exceptional case. H papariensis was dominant at the northern parts and H unmunsana was the southern parts of Korean peninsula.

In order to investigate the distribution and density of root-knot nematodes in economic crops, samples were collected from 3,226 fields of 18 economic crops. Nematodes were extracted using a modified Baermann's funnel technique. Identification of races was based on the differential host-test for Meloidogyne spp. by Tayler and Sasser. M. hapla was dominant in fields in the middle parts of Korean peninsula; M. incognita, in the southern parts, and distribution of M. javanica was limited to Jeju island and southern seaside areas. Two races of M. arenaria identified in this study were races 1 and 2. The three races identified in M. incognita were races, 1, 2 and 3. Of these races, race 1 of M. arenaria and race 3 of M. icognita were identified for the first time in Korea.

A taxonomic study of Habenaria in Korea was carried out based on the extensive examinations of floral morphologies and distribution. As the results, we classified the genus in Korea into the following 5 species; H. linearifolia Maxim., H. cruciformis Ohwi, H. radiata Splengl., H. chejuensis Y.N. Lee & K.S. Lee and H. flagellifera Makino. H. cruciformis is recognized as a distinct species distinguished from H. linearifolia, H. sagittifera Rchb. f. and H. schindleri Schltr., and we clarified its morphological differences from the species. H. linearifolia f. integrilova Ohwi which has been seperated by shape of lateral lobe of lip was merged into f. linearifolia oin this study. Furthermore we investigated the distribution of Habenaria in Korea based on the herbarium specimens and field surveys. The result shows that H. radiata is rare in the middle part of the Korean Peninsula and H. chejuensis and H. flagellifera are restricted in Jeju Island, so the conservation on the habitats of these species is required.

To elucidate the distribution of broad-leaved evergreen plants of the central part of the Yellow Sea, we surveyed 136 islands of Incheon from May 2006 to March 2008. In the present survey, twelve broad-leaved evergreen species were found on 77 islands, which included 28 inhabited and 49 uninhabited islands. Among them, the most popular plants were the following: Euonymus japonicus Thunb., Elaeagnus macrophylla Thunb., Camellia japonica L., and Cyrtomium falcatum (L.f.) C. Presl. These plants were found growing on Baengnyeong Island, the northmost island among those surveyed, near $N 37^{\circ}60^{\prime}$. On the other hand the following four species are found up to Deokjeok-myeon only, near N $N 37^{\circ}10^{\prime}$: Hedera rhombea (Miq.) Bean,, Quercus acuta Thunb. ex Murray for. acuta, Neolitsea sericea (Blume) Koidz., and Trachelospermum asiaticum (Siebold & Zucc.) Nakai. However, these plants are usually found growing in the southern or southwestern coastal region of the Korean Peninsula. Thus the distribution of the broad-leaved evergreen plants growing on these high latitude islands might be influenced by a warm current of the Yellow Sea. The distribution of broad-leaved evergreen plants on each island is described.

비무장지대(DMZ)는 군사적 활동 외에 일반인에 의한 접근이 엄격히 통제되어 자연적으로 생물들이 보호되어 왔으며, 한반도의 거대한 동 서 생태축으로서 그 중요성이 매우 높다. 본 연구는 경기도 연천군지역의 비무장지대 및 민통선지역에 분포하는 자원식물의 현황을 파악하고 희귀식물, 한국특산식물 등 주요 유용자원식물의 보전과 관리에 기초자료를 제공하고자 실시하였다. 연구대상지에 분포하는 자원식물은 74과 168속 192종 4아종 26변종 5품종으로 총 227분류군으로 우리나라에 분포하는 관속식물 4,881(국립수목원, 2007)분류군의 4.66%로 나타났다. 각 과별 구성종의 출현비율을 살펴보면 국화과 36분류군으로 가장 다양하게 출현하였다. 연구대상지내에 분포하는 희귀식물은 쥐방울덩굴(Aristolochia contorta Bunge)로 1분류군이 확인되었으며, 한국특산식물은 키버들(Salix koriyanagi Kimura), 병꽃나무(Weigela subsessilis (Nakai) L.H.Bailey), 은사시나무(Populus tomentiglandulosa T. B. Lee)로 3분류군, 귀화식물은 단풍잎돼지풀(Ambrosia trifida L.), 족제비싸리(Amorpha fruticosa L.), 아까시나무(Robinia pseudoacacia L.) 등 등 17분류군으로 나타났다. 연구결과 전체적으로 다양한 식물종이 확인되지는 않았으며, 일부 구간에는 가시박(Sicyos angulatus L.), 돼지풀(Ambrosia artemisiifolia L.), 단풍잎돼지풀(Ambrosia trifida L.) 등 생태계교란 야생식물이 폭넓게 분포하고 있는 것을 확인할 수 있었다.

To elucidate the distribution of halophytes in Korea, we surveyed 95 coastal salt marsh and sand dune areas. As a result, 62 halophytes of 57 species, 4 varieties and 1 form belonging to 44 genera and 21 families were recorded from coastal regions and islands of South Korea. Of these, 33 taxa were plants growing on sand dunes and the other 29 in salt marsh. Fifty eight taxa were found on the west coast, which was surveyed at 61 areas. The most common species among them were Suaeda glauca (Bunge) Bunge, Suaeda japonica Makino, Phragmites communis Trin., Zoysia sinica Hance, Carex scabrifolia Steud. in salt marsh, and Salsola komarrovii Iljin, Lathyrus japonicus Willd., Limonium tetragonum (Thunb.) A.A. Bulloc, Calystegia soldanella Roem. & Schult. on sand dunes. On the other hand, only 45 taxa were found on the southern coast, surveyed at 15 areas. On the east coast, surveyed at 13 areas, 44 taxa were found. The most common species were Salsola komarrovii Iljin, Lathyrus japonicus Willd., Calystegia soldanella Roem. & Schult., on sand dunes and Linaria japonica Miq., which on the Korean peninsula is found only on the east coast. On Jeju Island, surveyed at 6 areas, 30 taxa of halophytes were found. Canavalia lineata (Thunb.) DC. is found in Korea only on Jeju Island. About half of the Korean halophytes were members of three families (Chenopodiaceae: 12 species, Poaceae: 12 species and Asteraceae: 7 species).

The districbution of $C_3; and; C_4$ type plants in Korea were studied. In the standpoint of photosynthetic types, plant distribution in Korea is classified as $C_3; and; C_4$ type plant zones. The forest destroyed by man interference, cultivating areas, and seashore areas are characterized by the dominant of $C_4$ type plants.(Figs. 2, 3, 4, 5) According to the results of this study, $C_3; and; C_4$ type plant distribution in Korea has a great relation to the habitat of plant vegetation (Table 1). The arid areas were in high proportion of C4 flora percenntages, while the well-developed woody forests or the vegetation of humid areas were in lower proportion(Fig.8).
