This study was investigated, from October to November, 1995, how environmental factors affected both the diversity and the ecology of soil microarthropods according to the sampling sites at althletic training park located in Chonju, Chonbuk. The results obtained are as follow: At the sampling areas, the soil microarthropods were identified into 6 classes, 15 orders, 17,145 individuals. Arachnida showed the highest individual rate (74.10%) in soil mictoarthropods and Acari occupied the great majority (97.98%) in Archinida. Collembola showed the highest individual rate (82.01%) in Insecta. Species planted at althletic training park were 10 famillies 12 genera 20 species 2 varietas 1 forma. In environmental factors which have an effect on the distribution of the soil microarthropods, acarina showed positive correlation for rate of carbon/nitrogen, soil moisture, soil acidity, and lead(Pb) and also negative correlation for solidity and intensity of lightness. Collembola and other animals showed negative correlation for solidity.

In the middle areas of South Korea, we collected 308 wild herbaceous species for studying the possibility of landscaping and, growing them at West in Yongin country of Kyunggi province. We observed their vegetative and flowering characteristic. And the result is as follow: 1. 76 species(24.7%) such as Hosta capitata, etc. of them are thought useful for flower-bedding or landscaping for park and ground-covering, while 94 species(30.6%) are regarded useful for ground-covering, potting and indoor-planting. They are Nepatica maxima and Thaliticum minus var. hypoleucum, etc. 46 species(15%) seems to be useful for flower-bedding, ground-covering and potting. 2. 264(85.7%) of all the observed species are for the enjoyment of their flowers, while 36 species(11.4%) for the enjoyment of their leaves, and 9 species(2.9%) for their fruit. They are Viburnum dilatatum, etc. 3. As for the relation of their habits to light conditions, 148 species(48%) grow int he full sun of more than 50,000Lux, 138 species(44.8%) usually in in the half shade of 20,000 to 30,000Lux, 15 species(4.9%) in the shade of some 10,000Lux, and 7 speciese grow either in the full sun or in the shde. 4. some species such as Wasabia koreansa, Allium succuliferum, Asterglehni, Ligulariafisheri, Ligularia stenocephala Epimedium koreanum are considered available as edible plants as well as ornamentals plants, and Houttuynia cordata. Saururus chinensis, Epimedium koreanum need to be further developed not only as ornamental plants but also medicinal plants.
