우리나라 하안역에서 외래식물 침입은 고유식물을 대체함으로써 생물다양성을 위협하는 가장 중요한 요인 중에 하나이다. 우리나라 고유 하안식생에 침입하는 두가지 주요 침입외래종인 가시박 (Sicyos angulatus)과 털물참새피 (Paspalum distichum var. indutum)가 고유 하안식생에 미치는 영향을 파악하기 위하여, 이 두 식물이 침입한 전국 하천의 22개 조사지점에서 식물상과 식생구조를 조사하였다. 가시박은 한반도 중부지방에 주로 침입하였다. 이 외래식물은 수로를 따라서 왕성하게 덩굴을 형성함으로써 제방 사면과 높은 고수부에서 교관목과 장경 초본의 고유식생을 피압하여 하천관리자에게 문제가 되고 있는 초본식물이다. 털물참새피는 한반도 남부지방에서 점차 확산되고 있다. 얕은 지하경과 왕성하게 분지하는 포복경을 가지고 있는 이 침입식물은 정체되거나 유속이 느린 물 위를 덮는 치밀한 매트를 형성하여 경쟁력이 약한 고유 침수식물이나 단경 정수식물을 위협하였다. 하천 하안지역에서 새로운 침입종의 도입을 방지하고 침입한 외래종을 방제하여 고유 하안식생을 보전하기 위해서는 이곳에서 인위 교란을 방지하고 적절한 외래식물 관리가 필요하다.

In the past two decades Mikania micrantha Kunth, a climbing plant species originating from tropical America, has spread across Taiwan. It can now be found frequently in the lowlands and lower mountain areas up to 1,000 m a.s.l. in the centre and south of the island. Mikania micrantha is considered a problematic invasive alien plant species which is said to cause economical as well as environmental damage. This study investigated the ecological site characteristics of M. micrantha in Taiwan. 112 vegetation surveys were carried out in habitats where the alien plant was present. A comparison between sites with a high and a low abundance was carried out in order to assess which factors especially influence the extensive spread of the plant. Furthermore, the influence of disturbances was examined. Results showed that Mikania micrantha grows very dense in habitats which are characterized by good light conditions combined with vertical structures, such as trees. Results revealed that this invader occurs most frequently in agricultural fallows and wastelands, but it could hardly be found in the intensively managed plantations in the investigation area. Results provide great evidence that the plant is strongly influenced by disturbances, but only if impacts occur rarely.

This study was conducted to predict the changes of potential distribution for invasive alien plant, Conyza bonariensis in Korea. C. bonariensis was found in southern Korea (Jeju, south coast, southwest coast). The habitats of C. bonariensis were roadside, bare ground, farm area, and pasture, where the interference by human was severe. Due to the seed characteristics of Compositae, C. bonariensis take long scattering distance and it will easily spread by movement of wind, vehicles and people. C. canadensis in same Conyza genus has already spread on a national scale and it is difficult to manage. We used maximum entropy modeling (MaxEnt) for analyzing the environmental influences on C. bonariensis distribution and projecting on two different RCP scenarios, RCP 4.5 and RCP 8.5. The results of our study indicated annual mean temperature, elevation and temperature seasonality had higher contribution for C. bonariensis potential distribution. Area under curve (AUC) values of the model was 0.9. Under future climate scenario, the constructed model predicted that potential distribution of C. bonariensis will be increased by 338% on RCP 4.5 and 769% on RCP 8.5 in 2100s.

Background: Invasive alien plant species (IAP) significantly threaten Nepal's protected areas and local communities. Understanding their distribution, impact, management, and utilization is essential for developing effective management strategies and sustainable utilization practices. The systematic literature review of publications from 2010 to 2023. The search was conducted through the database Nepal Journal online database (NepJOL) and Google Scholar, yielding an initial pool of 4,304 publication. After applying inclusion and exclusion criteria; we meticulously reviewed 43 articles for data extraction. Results: Seventeen IAP are found in protected area, Nepal with the highest prevalence observed in Koshi Tappu Wildlife Reserve, followed by Chitwan and Sukhlaphanta National Park. The most problematic species in terrestrial ecosystems are Mikania micrantha, Lantana camara, and Chromolaena odorata. The grassland ecosystems of wildlife habitats, primarily in the Terai and Siwalik regions, are the most invaded. Various management approaches are employed to mitigate the spread and impact of IAP, including mechanical methods such as uprooting, burning, and cutting. However, these methods are costly, and context-specific interventions are needed. The study also explores the potential use of IAP for economic, ecological, or cultural purposes, such as medicinal properties, energy production potential, and economic viability. Local communities utilize these plants for animal bedding, mulching, green manure, briquette, and charcoal production. Conclusions: Applying silvicultural practices alongside mechanical management is recommended to maintain a healthy terrestrial ecosystem and utilize the removed biomass for valuable products, thereby reducing removal costs and increasing income sources, potentially benefitting both local communities and wildlife in protected areas.

외래침입종이 자생종에 미치는 잠재적인 영향에 관하여 세계적인 관심이 증가하고 있음에도 그러한 침입의 결과들은 여전히 부족한 실정이다. 유럽좁쌀바구미(cabbage seedpod weevil, CSPW, Ceutorhynchus obstrictus)는 1990년대 초에 한반도에 침입하였다. 침입 후 20여 년 동안 관찰과 2010년 이후 중점적인 조사를 통해 유채 꽃에서 침입종인 유럽좁쌀바구미가 가장 우점을 이루고 있으며, 제주도와 울릉도를 포함한 남한 전역으로 확산되어 있다. 그의 확산은 자생종인 유채좁쌀바구미(rapseed weevil, RSW, C. albosuturalis)의 냉이 등 십자화과 잡초로 서식처 후퇴가 맞물려 일어나고 있다. 한편, 한반도와 제주도 사이에 위치한 여서도는 현재 그들의 비율이 약 1:1로 나타나고 있어 이 섬에는 유럽좁쌀바구미가 최근에 유입된 것으로 보인다. 자생종의 생태적 지위(ecological niche)가 외래침입종으로 대체되는 근본적인 기작은 확실하게 알 수 없지만, 자원경쟁(exploitative competition)의 잠재적인 역할을 배제할 수는 없을 것이다. 자연생태계 내에서 외래침입종이 자생종을 신속하게 대체하고 있음을 확인한 이 결과는 앞으로 또 다른 외래종의 침입 방지 노력을 요구하고 있다.

외래식물이 새로운 환경에 성공적으로 정착할 수 있는 이유를 설명하는 주된 두 개의 가설은, 외래식물이 새로 정착할 지역 군집 구성원들과 충분히 달라 경쟁을 피할 수 있기 때문이라는 것, 그리고 이미 적응하고 있는 그 지역 군집의 구성원과 유사하여 새로운 환경에 잘 적응할 수 있기 때문이라는 것이다. 본 연구는 낙동강변에 인위적으로 조성된 습지공원지역을 대상으로 외래(귀화) 초본식물과 자생 초본식물의 기능 형질을 조사하여 상호 비교 분석하여 앞의 두 가설 중 어느 가설이 맞는지 확인하고자 하였다. 식물 잎 형질 중, 잎 면적, 잎 면적비, 잎 두께, 잎 건조 중량, 잎 질소량, 잎 탄소량을 이용하여 분석한 결과, 외래(귀화)식물과 자생식물이 서로 구분되었고, 이는 외래(귀화)식물이 자생식물보다 잎 질소량이 높기 때문인 것으로 생각되었다. 높은 잎 질소량은 높은 광합성률과 연관되고 이는 효과적인 자원 이용 및 빠른 생장과 관련있음을 고려할 때, 본 연구지역에 정착한 외래식물 역시 이러한 기능적 특징을 가지고 있는 것으로 생각되었다. 본 연구 결과는 앞의 두 가설 중 외래식물과 자생식물의 기능적 차이가 외래식물 정착 성공을 결정한다는 가설을 지지하는 것으로 보인다.
