Abstract
The flora of naturalized plants in historic sites, urban parks and stream of Gyeongju-si, South Korea were summarized as 84 taxa including 21 families, 59 genera, 78 species, 1 subspecies, and 5 varieties. Direct investigation was conducted in a historic site with 68 taxa, a neighborhood park with 43 taxa, a stream with 59 taxa and a small park with 42 taxa at 86 sites. Among them, 31.0% (Naturalized Degree (ND) 3) was common but not abundant, 29.8% (ND 5) was common and an abundant plant, 20.2% (ND 2) was local and not an abundant plant. 7 taxa such as Lactuca scariola, Symphyotrichum pilosum, Rumex acetosella were invasive alien species. Lactuca scariola was the most abundant with 41.9%, Symphyotrichum pilosum was more abundant around stream with 34.9%, and Rumex acetosella was abundant on historic sites or small park with 25.6% in all the surveyed sites. To prevent spread of invasive alien species, monitoring may be required, especially, in early settlement stage. A proper management plan needs to be incorporated through physical removal of those plants, substitution of soil and so on.
