한라산 백록담내의 고산식물 59종류를 대상으로 생활형, 화색, 개화시기, 그리고 종자의 성숙시기 등을 조사하여 화훼자원으로의 개발가능성을 조사하였다. 백록담내 고산식물의 생활형은 반지중식물이 67.8%로 대부분을 차지하여 전형적인 고산식물의 생활형 분포를 보여주고 있다. 개화는 전반적으로 7∼8월에 이루어지며, 종자는 8∼9월에 집중적으로 성숙되는 것으로 확인되었다. 한편 고산식물의 화색은 백색이 27% (16종)로 가장 많고, 백색, 청색, 황색 꽃의 출현빈도가 대체로 높게 나타났다.

the geoecology of the alpine and subalpine belts of the Korean Peninsula, its component plant group, its environmental history, and climatic amplitudes of the arctic-alpine and alpine plants has reviewed and discussed. The present-day alpine and subalpine landscapes are likely to have been formed during the post-glacial warming phase. The disjunctive distribution of many alpine and subalpine plants, however, suggests a former continuous distribution of these both locally and on a broader, and the subsequent breakdown of a former continuous range into fragments as the climate ameliorated during the post-glacial warming phase. The presences of numerous arctic-alpine and alpine plants on the alpine and subalpine belts of the Korean Peninsula, are mainly their relative degree of sensitivity to high summer temperatures. The continued survivals of alpine species and landscape in Korea is in danger if global warming associated the greenhouse effect takes place.

The island alpine biogeography of Mt. Halla (Hallasan), Jeju Island (Jejudo), Korea is discussed. The presence of numerous species of alpine flora on Mt. Halla, the southernmost distributional limit for certain species, may primarily be attributed to palaeo-environmental factors, since it can not be wholly explained by reference to current environmental conditions. The alpine flora on the peak of Mt. Halla, mainly above 1,500m a.s.l, is evidently descended from immigrants from NE Asia via the Korean Peninsula during the epochs of the Ice Age. These plants, which are very intolerant of competition with temperate vegetation, have been able to persist in alpine belts thanks to their harsh climatic conditions, sterile soil, rugged topography and cryoturbation. The alpine plants on Hallasan are in a stage or process of retreat toward the mountaintop, most likely due to recent climatic amelioration. The lower limit of some species seems to coincide with maximum summer isotherms. The continued survival of arctic-alpine and alpine plants on the summit of Hallasan, Jejudo, the Korean Peninsula, however, is in danger, if global warming associated with the greenhouse effect continues.

Alpine and subalpine plants are isolated and distributed in mountaintop areas at high altitudes and, are among the species most vulnerable to global warming. If the rate of warming continues at its current rate, it is highly likely that this species will be unable to find new refugia and will be the last to go extinct in their current habitats. Therefore, research on the distribution and diversity of alpine and subalpine plants is urgently needed and is important from the perspective of biodiversity conservation. Therefore, this study focused on the distribution of alpine and subalpine plants native to national parks. Alpine and subalpine plants distributed across the 12 national parks accounted for approximately half (47.78%) of all alpine plants in Korea. The average relative frequency of occurrence was 0.23, plant similarity between national parks was 37.19%, and beta diversity was 0.63. The number of species was positively correlated with the latitude, elevation, and area of the national park. Thus the geographical distributions of alpine and subalpine plants haves distinct spatial specificities and physical environmental differences.

Reconstruction of the past vegetational changes of Korea in connection with climate changes enables to understand the impacts of past and future global warming on alpine vegetation. Despite the early appearance of the cold-tolerant vegetation since the Mesozoic Era. the occurrence of warmth-tolerant vegetation during the Oligocene and Miocene implies that most of alpine and subalpine vegetations have been confined to the alpine and subalpine belts of northern Korean Peninsula. The presence of cold-episodes during the Pleistocene. however. might have caused a general southward and downslope expansions of cold-tolerant alpine and subalpine vegetation. But the climatic warming trend during the Holocene or post-glacial period eventually has isolated cold-tolerant alpine and subalpine vegetation mainly in the northern Korea. but also on scattered high mountains in the southern Korea. The presence of numerous arctic-alpine and alpine plants on the alpine and subalpine belts is mainly due to their relative degree of sensitivity to high summer temperatures. Global warming would cause important changes in species composition and altitudinal distributional pattern. The altitudinal migration of temperate vegetation upward caused by climatic warming would eventually devastate alpine plants.

The alpine grassland vegetation at the northwest slope of Mt. Paektu were investigated by Penound- Howard's cover-degree method. The floristic composition of the alpine grassland from 2,100m altitude to the top of mountain were 35 species, 1 subspecies, and 6 varieties, and most of the plants were short p e r e ~ i a l herbs and shrubs. The dominant species of the vegetation distributed along to altitude were Rhododendron aureum (2,100-2,20Om), Dryas octopetala var. asiatica(2,200-2,30Om), Dryas octopetala var. asiatica(2,300-2,40Om), Rhododendron aureum- Rhododendron redowskianum(2,400-2,50Om), and Rhododendron redowskianum(2,500- 2,58Om), respectively. Characteristics of the shrub plants which settled in alpine grassland showed uniform low height(3-15cm), creeping stem and evergreen leaf. Life form of the plants were 29 species of Hemicryptophyte, 8 species of Chamaephyte, 1 species of Geophyte, and 5 species of Phanerophyte. (Key words : Alpine grassland, Mt. Paektu, Altitude, Dominant, Life form)

본 연구는 한반도 내에서 한지를 선호하는 것으로 알려진 극지-고산식물과 고산식물의 분포를 고환경과 관련시켜 고찰하여, 이러한 식물들의 기원, 이동 그리고 도피과정을 밝히고, 아울러 한반도의 식생변천사를 파악함을 목표로 한다. 현재 한반도에는 75종의 극지-고산식물과 239종의 고산식물 그리고 105종의 한국 특산 고산식물등 약 419종의 한지선호식물이 생육하고 있는 것으로 알려졌다. 이러한 식물들은 주로 고산을 중심으로 격리 분포하고 있는데 그 이유는 첫째, 플라이스토세에 빙기가 다가오면서 극지와 그 주위에서 살던 식물들이 혹독한 추위와 건조를 피해 보다 양호한 생육 적지를 찾아 하산하거나 남하하여 이동하던 중, 한반도가 이들에게 일차 도피처가 되었던 것으로 본다. 그 후 빙기가 끝나고 간빙기나 후빙기에 들어서면서 기후가 온난해져 이러한 식물들은 기온 상승에 따라 발생되는 생육환경변화와 난지선호식물들에 밀려 고산이나 북방으로 이동하여 현재 격리되어 분포하는 곳에 이차 도피처를 마련한 것으로 간주된다 : 둘째, 특히 후빙기에 들어서 기후 온난화에 의한 저지와 산록지의 삼림발달은 빙기중에는 넓은 지역에 걸쳐 광분포하던 한지선호식물들을 격리시킨 것으로 사료된다 : 세째, 후빙기에 기후가 온난해지면서 사라지거나 축소된 한지선호식물 서식처도 이들이 격리되어 분포하는데 작용한 것으로 본다. 아울러 한반도 북부지방에 국한해서 139종의 고산식물이 출현하는 요인은 첫째, 이 지역과 동아시아 지역 사이에 고산식물의 교류가 용이했고 : 둘째, 북부지방에 산재하는 고산이 후빙기에 한지선호식물들이 도피해 생존할 장소를 제공해 주었으며 ; 세째, 산지들이 서로 연결되어 있어 필요할 때 식물들이 이동할 수 있는 통로가 될 수 있었으며 ; 네째, 북부 산지에 다양한 환경과 서식처가 마련되었기 때문으로 본다. 그러나 현재와 같은 기온 온난화 추세가 계속되면 한반도를 전세계적으로 혹은 동아시아에서 분포상 남한계로 삼는 많은 식물들이 멸종할 위기를 맞게될 것으로 사료되어 보존을 위한 대책이 요구되고 있다.

Endophytic fungi occupy various ecological niches, which reinforces their diversity. As few studies have investigated the endophytic fungi of alpine conifers, we focused on four species of alpine conifers in this study-Abies nephrolepis, Pinus pumila, Taxus cuspidata var. nana, and Thuja koraiensis-and examined them for endophytic fungi. A total of 108 endophytic fungi were isolated. There were four taxa in A. nephrolepis, 12 in P. pumila, 18 in T. cuspidata var. nana, and 17 in T. koraiensis; these were divided into five classes: Agaricomycetes (3.2%), Dothideomycetes (29.0%), Leotiomycetes (15.0%), Sordariomycetes (41.9%), and Orbiliomycetes (1.6%). The most prevalent fungi were Sydowia polyspora (22.7%) and Xylariaceae sp. (22.7%) in P. pumila, Phomopsis juglandina (16.1%) in T. cuspidate var. nana, and Thuja-endophytes sp. 1 (70.0%) in T. koraiensis. However, there was no dominant species growing in A. nephrolepis. Some host plants were analyzed using next-generation sequencing. We obtained 4618 reads for A. nephrolepis and 2268 reads for T. koraiensis. At the genus level, the top three endophytic fungi were Ophiostomataceae_uc (64.6%), Nectriaceae_uc (15.5%), and unclassified organism (18.0%) in A. nephrolepis and Nectriaceae_uc (41.9%), Ophiostomataceae_uc (41.8%), and Magnaporthaceae_uc (9.2%) in T. koraiensis. Our results show that there are different communities of endophytic fungi among different host plants, even if the host plants are in the same region. Such ecological niches are important in terms of the ecological restoration of alpine conifers.
