Abstract

We have found the plants belonging to the genus Spartina which has not yet been reported for the flora of Korea. This has been distributed at Dongmak seashore in Ganghwado since 2012. These were identified as common cordgrass (Spartina anglica C. E. Hubb.) belonging to the family Poaceae, the genus Spartina. It is a perennial halophyte as an alien weed that can grow in the tidal flat, native to southern England. Here, we named it for 'Young-guk-Gaet-ggeun-pool' in Korean refer the origin, reported the distribution, spreading condition, and botanical characteristics of common cordgrass. In China, Spartina anglica was introduced in 1963, it was approved that it had benefit in a bioengineering side firstly. But it was known that as a highly invasive plant to make a monotype meadow of Spartina anglica which has deteriorate the ecological function of saltmarsh. And also it has another problem that is not easy to eradicate. The spreading of Spartina anglica which was appeared in the West coast of Korea may threaten severely to the domestic mudflat and estuary ecosystem. For the maintenance of mudflat ecosystem soundly, continuous monitoring and active eradication plans are required.

영국갯끈풀(Spartina anglica)은 영국 남부해안 원산의 다년생 염생 잡초로, 2012년 강화도 동막 해변에서 분포가 최초로 확인되었다. 이에 분포 및 확산실태를 보고하며 식별을 위한 식물학적 특성을 제시하였다. Spartina 속은 중국을 포함한 세계 여러 나라에 도입되어 생태공학적 측면의 장점이 인정되었으나, 갯벌을 단일 초지화시키면서 염습지의 생태적 기능을 상실시키는 침입성이 강한 식물로 알려졌고, 제거가 쉽지 않아 관리에 어려움을 겪고 있다. 한국의 서해안 갯벌에서 출현한 영국갯끈풀의 확산은 국내 갯벌 생태계에 심각한 위협을 초래할 수 있으므로 적극적인 제거방안 수립과 지속적인 관찰이 필요하다.
