In order to investigate the ecotypic variations of pulsatilla koreana nakai distributed in korea, 8 local populations of the plant were selected in accordance with latitude and compared on the differences of leaf shape, elongstion, stomatal distribution and dhlorophyll content. The incised angle of the plant is 38。32' in cheju, showing a great difference as compared with 23。77'-30。 32' of the other sites. as to the incised rate, mt. togyu and cheju representsed relatively high values of 49.04% and 48.21% the parted leaved individuals were only observed along the warm current coastal area including cheju, sokcho and sunchon and were 54(62.8%), 2(2.5%) and 3(3.3%) in the sites, respectively. Especially, the individuals consisting of only parted learves were 5(5.8%) in cheju alone and none of the other sites showed such individuals at all. So p. cernua distributed in cheju and p. koreana in inland area can be considered to beecotypic variations of the same species from the upper investigations. According to the elongations of leaf and rachis, the local populations could be classified into 3 types, such as warm current coastal area type(cheju,sunchon and sokcho),southern inland area type(andong, chungju and mt. togyu)and central inland ara type(mt. komdan and hongchon). The dentate numbera of 39.80-43.73 in the warm current area were also different from those of 87% in mt.togyu and 15% in hongchon, while opposite leaflets account for 100% in the other sites. The content of chlorophyll ranged from 0.609 mg/g. d.w.(cheju)to 0.924 mg/g.d.w.(hongchon), showing an increasing trends as the latitudes grow higher. The number of stomata on the low epidermis is much larger than that on the upper epidermis in the whole area. But both aspects showed an increasing tendency, too as the latitude becomes higher.

A study of forest vegetation in Mt. $T\v{o}kyu$ National Park was investigated by ordination technique. By TWINSPAN(Two-Way Indicator Species Analysis) method, 10 groups were recognized as follows: pinus densiflora, Quercus variabilis, Quercus serrata, Quercus mongolica-Rhododendron schlippenbachii, Quercus mongolica-Abies koreana, Quercus mongolica-Acer pseudo-sieboldi-amum, Quercus mongolica-Symplocos chinensis for. pilosa, Carpinus laxiflora, Fraxinus mandshurica and Taxus cuspidata groups. The floristic composition of these groups showed high correlation to soil moisture(r=0.831), altitude(r=0.784), topography(r=-0.722), organic matter(r=0.642), and pH(r=-0.509) among various environmental factors. According to the results of CCA(Canonical Correspondence Analysis) Pinus densiflora group and Quercus variabilis group were situated in a xeric area at a lower altitude where soil nutrients were poor compared with the other groups. Fraxinus mandshurica group was distributed throughout the valley with high soil moisture and good nutrients, Quercus serrata group and Carpinus laxiflora group were found in the low altitude region with good nutrients, Quercus mongolica group, at the high altitude region with good nutrients, and Quercus mongolica-Acer koreana and Taxus cuspidata at higher altitudes(1, 400-1600 m).

구상나무림 보전관리의 기초자료를 마련하고자 지리산 한라산 및 덕유산의 아고산지대에 95개의 조사구를 설치하여 한국특산종 구상나무의 생육현황과 구상나무 서식지의 입지인지를 조사하였다 구상나무는 흉고직경 10-30cm의 범위에 드는 나무들이 주로 고사목으로 나타났으며 고사목의 비율은 전체적으로 총개체수의 11.51%였다 고사목의 비율또한 덕유산에서 18.18%로 가장높게나타났고 한라산 지역이 8.11%로 가장 낮게 나타났다 조사구당 구상나무 개체수 치수의 개체수 구상나무의 수고와 흉고직경 생육현황표에 의한 점수 구상나무의 상대밀도 등은 지역간에 통계적 유의차가 인정되었다 생육중인 구상나무의 활력은 한라산 지리산, 덕유산으로 순으로 좋았다 조사구당 구상나무 치수의 개체수는 한라산에서 6.00개체로 가장 많았으며 덕유산에서는 치수가 없는 것으로 나타났다 구상나무의 상대밀도도 한라산, 지리산, 덕유산 순으로 높게 나타났다. 조사구당 구상나무 개체수는 해발고와 정의 상관, 방위, 낙엽퇴의 두께, 조사구당 교목의 개체수 및 종수, 활엽수 상대밀도와는 부의 상관이 인정되었다. 구상나무 상대밀도는 해발고와는 고도의 정의 상관관계 방위 조사 구당교목의 개체수 및 종수 수관울폐도, 활엽수 상대밀도와는 부의 상관관계가 인정되었다 지리산, 한라산 및 덕유산에 자생하는 구상나무는 해발고가 높으며 볕이 잘들고 낙엽퇴가 얕으며 종구성이 단순하고 활엽수가 적은 지역에 보다 많이 분포한다.
