The Kashmir Himalaya, known for its indigenous and endemic flora, also provides home to a large number of exotic plants, which exhibit a wide taxonomical and distributional stretch. Although, some preliminary studies have been carried out in the region on some aspects of its exotic flora, the inventorization and documentation of its exotic have received a little or negligible attention. There is a lot of scope of these exotic plant species in Kashmir valley, but lack of authentic identification has been as a big hurdle in their scientific management. It is in this backdrop that the present floristic study was carried out to identify, inventorize, document and characterize the exotic plant species grown in the Valley. The present study has revealed that Kashmir Valley grows 317 exotic plant species, which belong to 209 genera in 85 families. Dicotyledons are the largest group, represented by 252 species in 163 genera and 67 families. Monocotyledons comprise 52 species in 37 genera and 13 families. Gymnosperms are the smallest group, with 13 species distributed in 9 genera and 5 families. Asteraceae is the largest family containing 33 exotic species.

Vegetation surveys were performed at 45 plots along 10 highways cut slopes in South Korea. Total floral inventory, species richness and exotic plant percentage were obtained within each plot. Life history and life form of each species appeared were analyzed. Community types were classified using hierarchical cluster analysis and detrended correspondence analysis and non-metric multidimensional scaling were conducted from vegetation matrix. 292 species of vascular plants were discovered and the number of natives and exotics were 226 and 66, respectively. There were no significant differences of species richness and exotic plant percentage between cut slopes and rest areas. Hierarchical cluster analysis indicated five clear vegetation associations in cut slopes and rest areas. Detrended correspondence analysis indicated that species composition of total and native plants were similar along the highway cut slopes whereas exotic plants were distributed differentially along the highway cut slopes. in non-metric multidimensional scaling, the studied sites were more separated from each other on the basis of their species composition than the results of detrended correspondence analysis with respect to total, native and exotic plants. The both ordination represented that exotic plants have not been made uniform yet on cut slopes and rest areas by highway corridor in spite of diverse chronosequences after highway construction termination (1 to 22 years). This study showed that the distribution of species composition in exotic plants was different and localized on cut slopes and rest areas of highway in this representative peninsula area of North East Asia and the invasion of exotic plants can retard the process of plant species homogenization.

인천 승기천의 하안지대에서 하천 지형과 교란 요인에 따른 외래식물의 식물상과 식생구조를 조사하였다. 승기천의 전체 하안 회랑에서 총 53종의 외래식물이 발견되었다. 총종수에서 외래식물이 차지하는 백분율은 6개 조사지점에서 25∼33%의 범위이었고, 전체 하안지역에서 평균 24%이었다. 외래식물의 백분율은 교란에 따른 식물 침입에 대한 하안지대의 취약성을 반영하며, 하안 지대에서 생태계 기능의 허약성을 나타내는 지표로서 이용될 수 있었다. 승기천에서 외래식물은 하천의 횡적 구조에서 뚜렷한 분포 유형을 나타내지 않았다. 외래식물의 침입과 증식은 고수부지와 제방사면에서 다소 뚜렷하였다. 여러 교란 요인 중에서 농경과 답압이 외래식물 군집의 침입에 영향을 미치는 중요한 요인이었다.

To find out the status and characteristics of exotic plants in the Gwangreung Forest, a representative forest ecosystem in central Korea, we surveyed the species composition, coverage, and habitat illuminance of exotic plant species in a set of quadrats established along roads and trails in and around the Gwangreung Forest and buffer zone areas, In 1932, only five species of exotic plants were found along paths and roads in the Gwangreung Forest. However, the number of species in the forest has dramatically increased since 2000, when Ambrosia artemisiifolia L. and A. trifida L. were first recorded, and in 2007, 38 species of exotic plants were recorded. Among the 11 families, 23 genera and 25 species of exotic plants recorded in the quadrats, Compositae was the most common family (11 species), and perennial herbs, 42%, were the most frequently occurring life type, followed by annual herbs (31%) and biennial herbs (19%). Plants of North American origin comprised 48% of exotic species identified in our surveys. Exotics were found most frequently in quadrats along roads in the forest, followed by the buffer zones and hiking trails. The number of species and individuals of exotic plants decreased as we moved deeper into the forest, but Aster pilosus Willd. and Erigeron annuus (L.) Pers. were identified along hiking trails in the interior, and appeared to be capable of spreading further and more rapidly into the forest than other species.

Given the lack of a resistant genetic pool in host plants, the introduction of exotic invasive pathogens can result in epidemics that affect a specific ecosystem and economy. Plant quarantine, which is designed to protect endemic plant resources, is a highly invaluable safeguard that should keep biosecurity with increasing international trade and global transportation. A total of 34 species of plant pathogens including Phytophthora infestans were documented as introduced from other countries into Korea from 1900 to 2010. The genus Phytophthora, classified in oomycetes, includes more than 120 species that are mostly recognized worldwide as highly invasive plant pathogens. After 2000, over 50 new species of Phytophthora were identified internationally as plant pathogens occurring in crops and forest trees. In Korea, Phytophthora is also one of the most serious plant pathogens. To date, 22 species (about one-fifth of known species) of the genus have been identified and reported as plant pathogens in the country. The likelihood of new exotic Phytophthora species being introduced into Korea continues to increase, thus necessitating intensive plant quarantine inspections. As new potential threats to plant health in Korea, six Phytophthora species, namely, P. alni, P. inundata, P. kernoviae, P. pinifolia, P. quercina, and P. ramorum, are discussed in this review with focus on history, disease, biology, management, and plant quarantine issues.

The occurrence of exotic weeds and their influx into farmlands due to climate change poses many problems. Therefore, it is necessary to generate a prediction model for the occurrence pattern of these exotic weeds based on scientific evidence and devise prevention measures. The photosynthetic apparatus is known as the most temperature-sensitive component of a plant cell and its initial response to temperature stress is to inhibit the activation of photosystem II. This study investigated the potential of OJIP transients in assessing temperature stress in exotic weeds. The four exotic weeds currently flowing into Korean farmlands include Amaranthus spinosus, Conyza bonariensis, Crassocephalum crepidioides, and Amaranthus viridis. These weeds were treated at 5℃, 10℃, 15℃, 20℃, 25℃, 30℃, 35℃, and 40℃ and the OJIP curves and JIP parameters were measured and analyzed. The results showed that heat and chilling stress affected the photosystem II(PSII) electron transport of A. spinosus, whereas C. crepidioides and A. viridis were more affected by high-temperature stress than by low-temperature stress. Lastly, C. bonariensis showed resistance to both high and low-temperature stress. The results of this study suggest that OJIP transients and JIP parameters can be used to analyze damage to the photosynthetic apparatus by temperature stress and that they can serve as sensitive indicators for the occurrence pattern of exotic weeds.

Primary succession on bare rocks is a challenge for invaders, including one of which was plants. The invasion of bare rock by exotic species raises the question of whether their presence hinders or facilitates succession. This study aimed to determine the role of exotic species in primary succession in six overburden (OB) coal mines using a chronosequence approach. Vegetation analysis was undertaken using line transects. Measurements were carried out on the absolute and relative coverage of each species. Native and exotic species were identified and grouped using information from local communities, identification books, and websites. The relationship between time and number of species, time, and relative dominance of exotic and native species was analyzed using Pearson's correlation. Species number and dominance data were analyzed descriptively. The number of native species from the six OB heaps was higher (57) than that from exotic heaps (50). Neither the number of species nor the coverage showed a significant relationship with time. Exotic species predominated throughout the age of the embankment but tended to decrease over time. Temporary dominance by exotic species plays a role in assisting primary succession in the OB. This process might be prolonged without the temporary dominance of exotic species during early primary succession.

역사공간의 진정성 제고와 보존관리에 활용될 기초자료 제공을 목적으로 국가지정 문화재인 경상북도 소재 안동 하회마을, 경주 양동마을, 성주 한개마을 등 3개 민속마을의 외래식물 분포현황을 조사 분석한 결과는 아래와 같다. 1. 민속마을의 전체식물상은 127과 430속 614종 5아종 100변종 33품종으로 총 752분류군이 확인되었으며, 그 중에 목본식물은 263분류군(35.0%), 초본식물은 489분류군(65.0%)으로 나타났다. 하회 양동 한개마을의 전체 식물상은 각각 총 534 479 408분류군이 확인되었고, 외래식물률은 30.1 38.2 37.0%로 나타났다. 유형별로는 관상외래식물이 135분류군, 풍치외래식물이 21분류군, 경작외래식물이 64분류군 그리고 귀화외래식물이 80분류군 으로 나타나, 관상외래식물의 비율이 탁월하게 높았다. 마을별로는 하회마을 161분류군(30.1%), 양동마을 183분류군(38.2%), 한개마을 151분류군(37.0%)으로 양동마을에서 가장 높은 비율의 외래식물이 확인되었다. 2. 하회마을내 단위문화재로 지정된 고택 정원에 식재된 관상외래식물은 총 30분류군이고, 옥연정사(8분류군) 양 진당(7) 하동고택(6) 충효당(5) 등의 순으로 외래식물수가 높았으며, 백목련 능소화의 식재율이 탁월하였다. 양동마을에서는 총 51분류군이 관찰되었는데, 두곡고택(16분류군) 수졸당(14) 무첨당(13) 상춘헌고택(12) 등의 순으로 나타났으며, 수국 불두화 상사화 등의 출현율이 높았다. 그리고 한개마을의 관상외래식물은 총 62분류군으 로 진사댁(35분류군), 교리댁(25) 한주종택(20) 하회댁(16) 등의 순이었으며, 골담초 뚝향나무 백목련 불두화 산당화 등의 출현률이 높았다. 3. 정원 외부를 살펴보면 하회마을에서는 만송정 숲 하부에는 환경부 지정 생태계교란식물인 돼지풀이 높은 우점도로 생육하고 있어, 겸암정사 인근의 가시박과 함께 제거대책의 마련이 시급하다. 또한 만송정숲 주변 낙동강 하상으로는 아까시나무림과 양버들군락 등의 풍치외래식물이 하안식생으로 띠숲을 이루고 있다. 양동마을에서는 마을 안길에 자연 발생한 가죽나무군락과 아까시나무와 족제비싸리가 비향토식생경관으로 인지된다. 또한 한개마을 외곽에 산발적으로 분포하는 가죽나무와 아까시나무의 세력 확산이 문제점으로 드러났다. 민속마을 간 발생 외래식물의 유사도는 47.0~48.6%로 이와 같은 이유는 연구대상지가 모두 경상북도에 위치하여 있는 관계로 식물의 생육조건이 유사하며, 관상용으로 판매되는 외래식물이 제한적이기 때문으로 판단됨에 따라 외래식물에 대한 마을별 관리대책과 공통 관리대책의 병행이 요구됨을 암시하였다.
