서리이끼속(Racomitrium Brid.)은 고깔바위이끼과(Grimmiaceae)에 속하며 전 세계에 약 80여종이 알려져 있다. 이 중 한국산 서리이끼속은 18종이 보고되어 있으며, 그 중 6종은 1900년대 초반 한반도에서 최초 발견되어 신종으로 보고되었다. 서리이끼속 이끼류는 주로 양지바른 바위나 사질토양 등에 서식하고, 건조에 강한 것으로 알려져 있다. 원예·조경 분야에서 실내 벽면 및 옥상 녹화용 자원식물로 서리이끼속은 주로 늦은서리이끼(Racomitrium japonicum)와 모래이끼(Racomitrium canescens)가 활용되고 있다. 국내에서도 자원식물로써 선태류에 대한 관심이 증대함에 따라 자생 선태류에 대한 형태적 특징과 함께 생육환경에 대한 정보 제공 요구 또한 증가하고 있다. 이에, 본 연구는 자원식물로 활용이 가능한 한반도산 서리이끼속의 형태·생태적 특징을 파악하고자 하였으며, 기준표본 원산지가 한반도인 서리이끼속 6종을 우선하여 서식 환경 특징을 파악하고자 한다.

This study presents a survey on the bryophytes in Dongbaek-dongsan located at Seonheul Gotjawal on the north-eastern face of Mt. Halla in Jeju Island, Korea. A total of 85 taxa belonging to the Bryophyta (22 families 44 genera 62 species), Marchantiophyta (12 families 16 genera 23 species) were found. Among them, 3 moss species, Diphyscium perminutum Takaki, Racomitrium japonicum Dozy & Molk., and Isopterygium minutirameum (M$\ddot{u}$. Hal.) A. Jaeger. were new additions to the bryophyte flora of Korea. The liverwort index was 27.0%. Predominant life-form was weft. The rates for the bryophytes dominating in mesic to hygric sites were higher than for the bryophytes mainly observed in xeric habitats. We considered that the composition and distribution of species are affected by the different environmental factors according to the evergreen broad-leaved forests, wetlands and exposed spaces. Moreover, the rocks were the substrate type that play a major role in providing the micro-habitats for bryophytes in this area. Particularly, the bryophytes of swamps in this area were very unique and various for its limited space and showed plant communities with mosaic spatial pattern, along with vascular plants. We suggest more detailed and comprehensive studies on the swamps where endemic fern Mankyua chejuense B. -Y. Sun, M. H. Kim & C. H. Kim inhabits to provide valuable information for the conservation and restoration of the species and habitats.

Algific talus slopes provide microclimates suitable for disjunct or relict populations of northern plant species at low elevation habitats in the temperate zones. The propose of this study was to assess the phytogeographical significance and produce a strategy for the comprehensive conservation of the vegetation on algific talus slopes. Therefore, we studied the floristics of bryophytes on 15 algific talus slopes in Korea. The bryophytes on the algific talus slopes in Korea consisted of 59 families, 138 genera, 226 species, two subspecies, and five varieties, totaling 233 taxa. Peculiarly, many northern bryophytes, such as Andreaea rupestris var. fauriei (Besch.) Takaki., Buxbaumia minakatae S. Okamura, Racomitrium lanuginosum (Hedw.) Brid., Hylocomium splendens (Hedw.) Schimp., and Pleurozium schreberi (Willd. ex Brid.) Mitt. were found on the algific talus slopes. Of them, unrecorded species from south Korea numbered 14 taxa and unrecorded species from the Korean peninsula numbered seven taxa. A similarity analysis based on the bryophyte flora showed that the index of similarity between regions with similar environmental factors was high. This means that the bryophyte flora composition on each algific talus slopes was affected by topography and microclimate. Algific talus slopes are phytogeographically significant microhabitats where northern plant species that advanced southward during the latest glacial age have been isolated and adapted. However, algific talus slopes have constantly been destroyed or damaged by humans without consideration of conservation. Conservation strategies to ensure the biodiversity and effective management of algific talus slopes in Korea are discussed in detail.
