In Mt. Halla, an arctic-alpine plant Diapensia lapponica var. obovata largely clings to rock surfaces. We observed the rock-surface temperatures of a rocky ridge on the summit area of the mountain from late April 2009 to early May 2010 in order to examine the diurnal and annual temperature variations and the thermal amplitude. We also investigated temperature regimes such as the frequency of freeze-thaw cycles and the temperature change, which might endanger the habitat through frost weathering. For comparison of slope aspects, temperature monitoring was carried out on the north and south faces of the same rocky ridge. The south face experiences the high daily maximum rock-surface temperatures and the high thermal amplitudes during the unfreezing season of May to November 2009. The temperature regimes are considered to exert physiological stress to the arctic-alpine plant. In addition, the south face shows the high frequency of freeze-thaw cycles during the seasonal freezing period of December 2009 to April 2010. This indicates that the south face is susceptible the exfoliation and granular disintegration of rock surfaces, which results in habitat destruction. As a consequence, the south face is believed to be less favorable for the establishment and growth of the arctic-alpine plant than the north face on the summit area of Mt. Halla.

This work aims to select the potentially vulnerable plant species against climate change at alpine and subalpine belts of Mts. Sorak, Jiri, and Halla, from central, southern, southern insular high mountains of the Korean Peninsula, respectively. The selection of global warming related vulnerable plants were performed by adapting various criteria, such as flora, endemicity, rarity, floristically specific and valuable species, species composition at mountain summits, horizontal and vertical ranges of individual species, and their distributional pattern in the Korean Peninsula. Line and quadrat field surveys along the major trails from all directions at height above 1,500 meters above sea level of Mts, Sorak, Jiri and Halla were conducted each year during spring, summer, and autumn from 2010 to 2011. Based upon above mentioned eight criteria, high level of climate change related potentially vulnerable arboral plants, such as Rhododendron aureum, Taxus caespitosa, Pinus pumila, Oplopanax elatus, Vaccinium uliginosum, and Thuja koraiensis are noticed from at subalpine belt of Mt. Sorak. Species of Abies koreana, Rhododendron tschonoskii, Oplopanax elatus, Taxus cuspidata, Picea jezoensis, and Juniperus chinensis var. sargentii belong to climate change concerned vulnerable species at subalpine belt of Mt. Jiri. High level of climate change related species vulnerability is found at alpine and subalpine belts of Mt. Halla from Diapensia lapponica var. obovata, Salix blinii, Empetrum nigrum var. japonicum, Vaccinium uliginosum, Juniperus chinensis var. sargentii, Taxus cuspidata, Rhamnus taquetii, Abies koreana, Hugeria japonica, Prunus buergeriana, and Berberis amurensis var. quelpartensis. Countermeasures to save the global warming vulnerable plants in situ are required.

한라산 백록담내의 식생과 식물상을 조사하여 한라산 식물자원의 현황을 파악하고 그 자원적 가치를 알아보고자, 1996년 6월부터 1998년 5월까지 관속식물을 대상으로 조사하였다. 한라산 백록담내의 식생은 돌매화나무-한라돌창포 군락과 김의털-한라사초군락으로 구분되었고, 김의털-한라사초 군락은 털진달래-시로미 아군락으로 구분되었으며, 털진달래-시로미 아군락은 다시 구상나무-좀고채목 변군락으로 구분되었다. 백록담내에 분포하는 관속 식물자원은 49과 122속 127종 2아종 30변종 3품종으로 총 162종류인 것으로 나타났는데, 기존의 보고된 식물상과 비교하여 볼 때 뱀고사리 등 총59종류가 확인되지 않았고, 다람쥐꼬리 등 63종류가 새로 추가되었다. 이 중 특산식물은 제주산버들 등 27종류로, 희귀식물은 구름송이풀 등 8종류를 추가하여 총 39 종류로 조사되었다. 또한 고산식물은 33과 54속 48종 2아종 14변종 1품종 등 총 65종류가 분포하는 것으로 나타났다. 162종류의 식물의 유용도는 관상용이 82종류, 약용이 75종류, 식용이 66종류, 밀원용이 17종류, 목초용이 15종류, 공업용이 10종류로 나타났고, 아직까지 용도를 알지 못하는 것은 40종류를 차지하였다.
