A scientific name is one of changeable terms in biology whenever additional research results of specific taxa is accumulated. The Database of the National Species List of Korea (DBNKo) was developed to manage taxonomic information of Korean species, designed to describe the changeable and complex taxonomical structure and information. A Korean Taxonomical Serial Number (KTSN) was assigned to each taxon, different from the normally used systems that the scientific name was considered as primary key to manage higher rank of taxa systematically. Common names were also treated with the KTSN, reflecting that common name is considered as one type of taxon. Additional taxonomic information (e.g., synonyms, original names, and references) was also added to the database. A web interface with an intuitive dashboard presenting taxonomic hierarchical structure is provided to experts and/or managers of the DBNKo. Currently, several biological databases are available in the National Institute of Biological Resources (NIBR) such as a specimen database, a digital library, a genetic information system, and the shared species data based on the DBNKo. The DBNKo started sharing species information with other institutions such as the Nakdonggang National Institute of Biological Resources. It is an ideal centralized species database to manage standardized information of Korean species.

We performed the floristic study of Carpathian mountains in Ukraine from April 2008 till October 2009. We designated eight important areas to investigate in Ukraine Carpathians including Svydovets, Chornohora, Kuziy-Trybushany, Maramorosh, Uholka-Shyrokyi Luh, Narcissi Valley, Chorna Hora, and Yulivska Hora. The total numbers of vascular plants in investigated area were 1,349 speices from 502 genera and 112 families. The endemic species to Carpathians numbered to 65 from 49 genera belonging to 24 families, and it was corresponded to 4.8% of the 1,349 vascular species. We prepared the list of vascular plants with compiling database on useful plants. Ukraine Carpathians endemic species could be applied as high value products in research and practice. Moreover, the flora of Carpathian mountains which is distributed in five nations in eastern Europe and famous for Primeval Beech Forests (Fagus sylvatica), is useful to compare the floristic study with Korean flora.

We report the status of wetland vascular plant species in Korea including the whole peninsula and its adjacent islands. This analysis was based on database from our previous categorized list. In all, 4,050 taxa have been reported, including 3,769 native and 281 naturalized. Of these, 479 taxa (12%) are considered as wetland vascular indicator species: 240 obligate wetland plants (OBW) and 239 facultative upland plants (FACW). Approximately 31% of those 479 taxa, i.e., 149 taxa, are labelled as aquatic macrophytes. Wetland plants, mostly herbaceous but some woody, inhabit aquatic bodies and wet meadows. Except for two OBW and six FACW taxa, the rest of the plants are summer-green only. The information provided here is valuable for making assessments of wetland ecosystem health, as well as for developing management plans to preserve and restore wetlands and their resident plant species while also creating artificial wetland environments.

In order to identify an unknown wood sample native to Korea. the softwood databases(KSWCHUN; Korean SoftWood CHUN) and the hardwood databases(KHWCHUN; Korean HardWood CHUN) had been built. and the new computer searching programs(IDINEX; IDentification INformation EXpress) has been written in Turbo Pascal(V.5.0) and in Macro Assembly(V.5.0). The characters of the data were based on the 74 features of softwood and on the 148 features of hardwood which are a part of new "IAWA list of microscopic features for hardwood identification" published in 1989. For the purpose of this investigation the wood anatomical nature of 25 species of softwood(13 genera of 5 families) and of 112 species of hardwood(57 genera of 31 families) were observed under a scanning electron microscope and light microscope. and a lot of literature used. The IDINEX programs are based on edge-punched card keys. with several improvements. The maximum number of features in the IDINEX is 229. but that is fixed for a given database. Large numbers of taxa are handled efficiently and new taxa easily added. A search may be based on sequence numbers of features. Comparisons are made sequentially by feature and taxon using the entire suite of features specified to produce the list of possible matching taxa. The results are followings. (1) The databases of Korean wood and the searching programs(IDINEX) had been built. (2) The databases of Korean wood could be an information to search an unknown wood. (3) The databases would be valuable. for the new features, which were not mentioned in Korean wood up to the present. were observed in details. (4) The ultrastructures of the cell walls(warty layer) and crystals observed under a scanning electron microscope will be helpful to search an unknown wood in particular. (5) The searching process is more quick and accurate than the others. 6) We can obtain the information on the differences of a species from the other and search an unknown wood using probability. in IDINEX, (7) The IDINEX will be utilized to identify and classify an animal life, vegetable world, mineral kingdom, and so on.

각 국가별로 고유종(혹은 특산종)은 보전생물학자들의 관심 대상이 되며 국가의 법률 시행에 의해 각 국가별로 분포의 제한이 되는 특산식물에 대한 관리를 하게 된다. 국가 기관인 환경부에서는 2005년도에 고유종목록을 출간하였고, 2011년 산림청에서는 수목원 조성 및 진흥에 관한 법률 시행 규칙 중[별표 1의 4] 특산식물 목록을 법으로 공표하였다. 이 법의 목록을 중심으로 법제화된 목록에서 제시된 빈번한 학명의 오류와 잘못된 종의 개념에 의한 목록을 점검할 필요가 있어 본 연구를 시도하였다. 환경부는 527종, 산림청은 360종의 목록을 발표하였는데 양 국가 기관에서 공통으로 언급한 종은 환경부 목록의 품종(107) 수를 제외한 분류군(416)으로 계산하면 286종으로 산림청 목록의 약 80%에 해당된다. 산림청의 특산식물 목록을 근간으로 분석한 결과, 확인되는 단순 오타 오류는 67개(18.7%), 서명과 나명의 비합법적으로 발표한 이름은 모두 14종(3.9%)이며, 중국에 분포해서 특산식물에서 배제되어야 하는 12종(3.4%) 등 전체 목록의 4분의 1(24.9%)이 오류에 해당된다. 반면, 목록 중 분류학적 연구와 검토가 불충분해서 분류군의 실체를 인정하기 어려운 분류군(미해결후보종, unresolved candidates)인 73종(19.6%), 분류학적 이명으로 확인된 196종(55.5%)을 제외하면 특산식물은 59종(16.5%)에 불과하였다. 본 연구 결과에 의하면, 이런 특산식물 목록의 오류는 종에 대한 개념 문제, 해당 종에 대한 정보 부족, 그리고 국가기관의 학명관련 데이터베이스의 오류에 대한 수정이 없는 잘못된 정보의 제공이 원인이다. 실제 고유종 대상이 되는 종들의 보전관리가 시급하게 필요함에도 불구하고, 현재의 과도한 고유종 선정에 의해 상대적인 관심에서 멀어져 미래에 멸종위기에 대한 문제를 자초하는 우를 범할 수 있다.
