Zooplankton distribution in the front zone was investigated in the East Sea of Korea (Sea of Japan). More than 100 taxa appeared in the study area, which was far diverse appearance being compared with those in West (Yellow Sea) and South Sea of Korea. In Nov. 1994, Paracalanus parvus, Oikopleura spp., and Noctiluca scintillans, which preferred warmer environment, predominated at the collection sites in the front zone, especially at warmer surface layer. But in Nov. 1995, when the surface water temperatures were about $2^{\circ}C$ lower than those of the previous year, cold water species of copepod Metridia lucens, immature forms of Calanus and Sagitta, and crustacean eggs dominated in the collection sites in front zone, which were geographically not Identical with those of the previous year. Vertical distributional patterns were not coincide among the taxa. This suggests that zooplankton has different specific habitat characteristics with temperatures. In general, those taxa with preference of warmer environments showed high probability of co-occurrance with low abundances while those that preferring colder environments showed low probability of co-occurrance with high abundances. It seems that warm water contributes to the high diversity of zooplankton in the front zone while cold water does to the high biomass.

The floristic characteristics and ecological conservation measures for the plant resources of the Mt. Kumjung(801m), Pusan, Korea were discussed. The field works was done for about twenty times in nine major areas from March, 1995 to Octover, 1996. The total number of vascular plants In this area were summarized as 103 families, 312 genera, 493 species and 564 kinds. The fourteen kinds of artificially planted, ten kinds of Korean endemics and twenty-nine kinds of Korean rare and endangered species in the area were revised and compiled in the list. The flora of the area were categorized into the South-coast put of the Korean Region, where the species such as Platycarya strobilacea, Quercug serrata, Eutya japonica, Camellia japonica, Trachelosperm urn asia talcum vu . in termedium, Quercus acu tissima were roles as major floristic components in the Korean Region and endemized in the south-cosat part of Korea. The natural communities such as Pinus thunbergii Community, Quercus mongolica community, Cupinus laxiflora Community, Wistria floribunda Community and swamp vegetation in Bukmun area as well as upland grassland at the summit of Kodangpong were represented for their floristic values in the area. The thirty kinds of medichinal plant, fifteen kinds of ornamental plants and thirteen kinds of edible plants are faced potentially in endangered from the outrageous collections by the local peoples. The action plan for the conservation management of the area which enables sustainable use by the local peoples must have established in the near feature.

This study was performed to investigate species diversity of understory in Mt. Biryong. The quadrat size was installed based on the result of analysis of Species-Area Curve. The vascular plants were enlisted 107 taxa: 47 families, 80 genera, 91 species, 11 varieties, 2 subspecies, and 3 forms. The three taxa such as Carex okamotoi, Philadelphus schrenkii var. schrenkii, and Weigela subsessilis were enlisted from the surveyed sites as the Korean endemic plants. Due to the list from the Korea Forestry Administration, Rhododendron micranthum was enlisted as the rare plant. The growth from was categorized followed by forbs, shrubs and trees, respectively.

This study was carried out to investigate the flora of Mt. Suan (Gyeonggi-do). The vascular plant were collected 13 times (from March to October 2011), and 402 taxa in total were identified, including 102 families, 274 genera, 354 species, 6 subspecies, 40 varieties and 2 forms. Among them, 8 taxa of Korean endemic plants and the Korea Forest Service-designated rare plants were identified as 5 taxa. Based on the list of plants which have been approved for overseas delivery, 10 taxa were recorded in the investigated area. The Ministry of Environment-designated specially plants were identified as 17 taxa. The naturalized plants were identified as 41 taxa and the percent of naturalized index (NI) was 10.2% of total 402 taxa vascular plants.

Studies on the Korean cave fauna were reviewed during the last seven decades since the first record of Antrokorean gracilipes Verhoeff, 1938. The cave animals have been reported by only 112 papers, 16 repoyts and ten books. In the results, a total of 257 species is recorded representing four phyla, ten classes, 31 orders, and 94 families, and also the holotype localities of 87 species are recorded from 36 caves and four wells in Boron. Arthropods are predominant consisting of 241 species (93.8％), and true spiders (Araneae) are a most diverse group with 97 species (37.7％) including 21 Korean endemic species belonging to 29 families.

We identified Jolcham oak (Quercus serrata Thunb. ex Murray) (Fagales: Fagaceae) as a new host tree for Callipogon relictus Semenov (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae), a Korean natural monument and an endangered species, in Gwangneung Forest, South Korea. We herein report the morphometric characteristics of C. relictus larvae found in a Q. serrata tree and provide a revised list of C. relictus hosts.

Wood-rotting fungi were collected in Suweon campus of Seoul National University from September 1981 to October 1982. These fungi were classified into 2 orders, 8 families, 22 genera and 34 species. Of these, Gloeoporus adustus (Willd. ex Fr.) $Pil\acute{a}t$ and G. dichrous (Fr.) Bres. were found to be new species that belong to unrecorded genus in Korea. Korean common names of these two new species were designated by the authors. List of the wood-rotting fungi was given with the generic name of host trees on which the fungus was collected.
