Background: Invasive alien plant species (IAP) significantly threaten Nepal's protected areas and local communities. Understanding their distribution, impact, management, and utilization is essential for developing effective management strategies and sustainable utilization practices. The systematic literature review of publications from 2010 to 2023. The search was conducted through the database Nepal Journal online database (NepJOL) and Google Scholar, yielding an initial pool of 4,304 publication. After applying inclusion and exclusion criteria; we meticulously reviewed 43 articles for data extraction. Results: Seventeen IAP are found in protected area, Nepal with the highest prevalence observed in Koshi Tappu Wildlife Reserve, followed by Chitwan and Sukhlaphanta National Park. The most problematic species in terrestrial ecosystems are Mikania micrantha, Lantana camara, and Chromolaena odorata. The grassland ecosystems of wildlife habitats, primarily in the Terai and Siwalik regions, are the most invaded. Various management approaches are employed to mitigate the spread and impact of IAP, including mechanical methods such as uprooting, burning, and cutting. However, these methods are costly, and context-specific interventions are needed. The study also explores the potential use of IAP for economic, ecological, or cultural purposes, such as medicinal properties, energy production potential, and economic viability. Local communities utilize these plants for animal bedding, mulching, green manure, briquette, and charcoal production. Conclusions: Applying silvicultural practices alongside mechanical management is recommended to maintain a healthy terrestrial ecosystem and utilize the removed biomass for valuable products, thereby reducing removal costs and increasing income sources, potentially benefitting both local communities and wildlife in protected areas.

Ipomoea cristulata Hallier f. (Convolvulaceae), native to the desert regions of the central USA to Mexico, was newly found in Gojeong-ri, Deokgwa-myeon, Namwon-si, Jeollabuk-do. This species can be distinguished from I. coccinea by leaves with 3-5 lobes, hirsute distributed adaxially, and corolla entirely red or orange-red. Its Korean name is 'Nabi-ip-yu-hong-cho' based on its butterfly-shaped leaves. We provide a detailed description, photographs, habitat details, and a taxonomic key to related taxa.

The total number of plant taxa was identified as 88 families, 250 genera, 368 species, 7 subspecies, 9 varieties and 384 taxa. In the case of life form, the domancy form was in the therophytes(th), the radicoid form was a R₅(monophyte), the disseminule form was the gravity D₄(having no special modification for dissemination), and the growth form was the erect form was high. The number of plant taxa by land use type was higher in mountainoustype reservoirs and plain type reservoirs than other land use types. The distribution of plants by land use type according to the hemeroby grade was plantation in the case of 3 grade(meso-hemeroby) forests, and the understory were mainly photophilic plants. With 4 grade(β-euhemeroby), traditional cemetery, plain type reservoirs, mountainoustype reservoirs, stream, and rice terraces are areas with relatively low intensive management and have a wide variety of flora, whereas 5 grade(α-euhemeroby) orchard were mainly distributed with ruderal plant due to high intensive management. As for the number of plant taxa by reservoirs, the Wisgol pond in the case of plain type reservoirs, Ungok pond was high in mountainous type reservoirs. The protected species were rare plants 2 classification groups of Vulnerable(VU) species, 4 classification groups of Least Concrned(LC) species, 1 classification group of Data Deficient(DD) species, 5 classification groups of Korean endemic plants, and 49 classification groups of invasive alien plants, and the total naturalization index was 12.2%.

Bowlesia incana Ruiz & Pav., a new invasive alien plant in Korea, was found in Ulju-gun, Ulsan Metropolitan City. This species is characterized as being similar to the genera Hydrocotyle Tourn. ex L. and Centella L. However, it differs morphologically from these two genera in leaves, flowers, and fruits, as well as stellate pubescence growing on the whole plant. In Korea, Bowlesia incana Ruiz & Pav. is recorded for the first time in this study. A morphological description, distribution map, and illustrations based on the Korean materials collected are presented.

종분포 모델은 어떤 지역에서 침입외래종이 어떻게 확장되고 어떤 환경 요인이 이들의 분포에 영향을 미치는지를 이해하는데 매우 유용한 도구이다. 본 연구에서는 한반도에서 두 침입외래종인 돼지풀 (Ambrosia artemisiifolia)과 물참새피 (Paspalum distichum)의 분포에 대하여 연구하였다. 이 두 종의 현재의 분포지에서 기후환경 요인을 분석하고 이 두 종의 분포를 예측하기 위하여 Maxent (the maximum entropy) 모델을 이용하였다. 이 두 종의 출현 자료는 Global Biodiversity Information Facility와 우리나라의 식물종 데이터베이스에서, 생물기후 자료는 WorldClim 자료로부터 얻었다. 모델을 수행한 결과, 자생지 위치자료를 이용한 예측 결과보다 전지구 위치자료를 이용한 예측이 연구 대상종의 잠재적 분포지를 잘 설명하였다. 이들 종의 분포에 기여한 기후환경 요인으로서 돼지풀에서는 최건월의 강수량과 연평균온도가, 물참새피에서는 연평균온도와 최한사분기의 평균온도가 선정되었다. Maxent 종분포 모델은 외래종의 침입을 예측하고 이들의 확산을 관리하는데 유용한 도구가 될 것으로 생각된다.

식물의 기공은 이산화탄소와 수증기가 대기와 식물 사이를 이동하는 통로로 광합성 및 증산작용과 밀접하게 연관되는 중요한 생리적 기능 형질이다. 본 연구에서는 낙동강변에 서식하는 초본 식물종을 대상으로 자생식물과 외래식물 사이에 기공 형질에 차이가 있는지 조사 분석함으로써 낙동강변 식물 군집 내 기공 형질의 변이 양상을 파악하고, 또한 외래식물이 성공적으로 정착하는 이유를 알아보고자 하였다. 조사 결과, 같은 신장 모양 기공 형태를 가진 외래식물과 자생식물의 경우 기공밀도, 기공지수, 기공크기에 차이가 없었고, 이는 외래식물의 성공적 정착에 비어있는 생태적 지위가 꼭 필요한 것은 아님을 시사하였다. 기공밀도는 잎의 두께와 음의 상관관계를, 잎건조중량(LMDC)과는 양의 상관관계를 보였으며, 잎면적비(SLA)와는 상관관계가 없었다. 신장 모양기공을 가진 식물은 모두 양면기공형 잎을 가지고 있었고, 아령 모양 기공의 밀도 및 크기가 신장 모양 기공보다 작았다.

The purpose of this study is to offer the raw data for establishing the management and restoration plan by objective surveying and analysing the flora distributed in Seoak District, Gyeongju National Park, Korea. The flora summarized as 411 taxa including 92 families, 285 genera, 363 species, 2 subspecies, 41 varieties and 5 forms. The rare plants designated by Korea Forest Service were 2 taxa including Exochorda serratifolia and Potentilla discolor. The Korean endemic plants were 3 taxa including Philadelphus schrenkii, Lespedeza maritima and Weigela subsessilis. The specific plants by floristic region were 16 taxa including Asplenium sarelii, Pyrrosia petiolosa, Vitex negundo var. incisa and so forth. The target plants adaptable to climate change were 2 taxa including Lespedeza maritima and Carpesium macrocephalum, and the plants with approval for delivering oversea were 4 taxa including Exochorda serratifolia, Glycine soja, Lespedeza maritima and Weigela subsessilis. The naturalized plants were 51 taxa including Phytolacca americana, Viola papilionacea, Lamium purpureum and so forth. The invasive alien plants were 3 taxa including Ambrosia artemisiifolia, Aster pilosus and Lactuca scariola. NI(Naturalized Index) was 12.4% of all 411 taxa of surveyed flora in this study and UI(Urbanized Index) was 15.9% of all 321 taxa of naturalized plants in Korea. Potentilla discolor in rare plant, Philadelphus schrenkii in endemic plant and Dictamnus dasycarpus in specific plant were established the conservation plan. Whereas, invasive alien plants such as Ambrosia artemisiifolia, Aster pilosus and Lactuca scariola should be removed as soon as possible. The damaged sites in Seoak District were divided between wildfire area and farmland. To restore a forest fire site, we will have to apply a natural renewal and community planting. In case of farmland, we will have to do ecological planting using native species and constrcut a forest wetland.
