The genus Carduus (Asteraceae), containing ca. 90 species, is mainly distributed in Eurasia and Africa. Carduus species are one of the most hazardous invasive species, which causes serious environmental threats and biodiversity damages in North America. Thus, the member of Carduus are targeted for classical biological control in this region. Here, we provide the complete cp genome of Carduus crispus using next-generation sequencing technology. The size of cp genomes of C. crispus is 152,342 bp. It shows a typical quadripartite structure, consisting of the large single copy (LSC; 83,254 bp), small single copy (SSC; 18,706 bp), separated by a pair of inverted repeats (IRs; 25,191 bp). It contains 115 unique genes of which 21 genes duplicated in the IR regions. The cpSSR regions of Carduus species were searched through the complete chloroplast genome sequence using a tandem repeat search tool in Geneious with the parameters set to ${\geq}7$ mononucleotide repeats, ${\geq}4$ di- and trinucleotide repeats, and ${\geq}3$ tetra-, penta-, and hexanucleotide repeats. A total of 22 repeat motifs were identified, which may be useful for molecular identification of Korean Carduus species (C. cripus), and providing a guideline for its conservation.

This study has been carried out for the purpose of predicting the potential habitat sites of invasive alien plants in the DMZ and providing the basic data for decision-making in managing the future DMZ natural environment. From 2007 to 2015, this study collected the data for the advent of Ambrosia trifida var. trifida through fieldwork around the DMZ area, and simulated the potential distribution area of Ambrosia trifida var. trifida using Maxent model among the models of species distributions. As a result, it showed that the potential distribution area of the Ambrosia trifida var. trifida was concentrated in the western DMZ with relatively low altitude and scanty in the central east regions with relatively high elevation and forest cover rate. Because the invasive alien vegetation is a significant threatening factor in the agriculture and restoration of ecology and it costs a lot to restore the area already invaded by invasive alien vegetation, advance precautions are necessary to prevent biological invasions. It is expected that it is possible to predict the disturbed ecosystems through this study for the efficient land use within DMZ in the future and to apply this study in setting up the areas for the development and conservation within the DMZ.

Plants are the promising reservoirs for natural products with their diverse secondary metabolites. Many invasive plants have been introduced in Korea, which adversely affect on the native ecosystem but holds difficulty removing them due to their proliferation. In this study, we evaluated disease control efficacy of methanol extracts from four invasive plant species against 7 representative crop pathogens. Methanol extract of Phytolacca americana effectively suppressed rice blast, tomato gray mold, and tomato late blight in a dose dependent manner. The methanol extract of Amorpha fruticosa also exhibited potent antifungal activity against pepper anthracnose in a concentration dependent way. These data suggest that the extracts of P. americana and A. fruticosa can be developed as plant disease protection agents against rice blast, tomato gray mold, tomato late blight, and pepper anthracnose. Furthermore, more extensive research will be required to identify and isolate active compounds from problematic invasive plant species to develop valuable agrochemicals.

외래생물은 경제 목적으로 수입되었으나, 최근에는 애완용으로 수입되는 사례가 증가하고 있다. 애완동물로 선호도가 높아진 리버쿠터와 중국줄무늬목거북은 2014년부터 사육개체수가 서서히 증가하다가 2017년에 180개체, 2019년에는 281개체를 기록하여 최대로 증가하였다. 그러나 수명이 긴 거북의 특성과 사육여건의 변화로 자연으로 버려진 개체가 발견되었다. 방출된 개체의 생태계위해성 평가를 통해 생물다양성법에 의해 생태계교란 생물로 지정되었다. 따라서 해당 거북 사육자가 계속 사육을 원할 경우 '생태계교란 생물 사육유예 허가 신청서'를 제출하여야 한다. 본 연구는 2020년 3월부터 9월까지 6개월간 접수된 신청서의 정보 (사육 시설의 적합성, 거북 개체수, 사육기간, 획득 방법, 사육자 지역 분포 현황 등)를 분석하고, 사육상태를 검토 결과를 제시하였다. 신청서는 총 614건이 접수되었으며, 사육자의 58%만이 적합한 사육상태를 조성한 것으로 평가되었기 때문에 사육자를 대상으로 동물복지 실현을 위해 적절한 사육 정보 제공과 생태계교란 예방을 위한 유기방지 교육이 필요한 것으로 사료된다. 또한, 신청서 내의 누락된 항목이 다수 발견된 점과 단발적인 신청에 따른 허가 방식으로 인한 문제 발생에 대비하여 대응방안을 만들고 지속적인 모니터링이 필요할 것으로 판단된다.

외래생물은 생물다양성을 감소시키는 주요 요인들 중 하나로 인식되고 있다. 도입된 외래생물에 대한 지속적인 모니터링과 위해성평가를 통한 관리방안 수립은 외래생물 관리정책의 핵심을 이룬다. 본 연구에서는 일본, 독일-오스트리아, 벨기에 등의 생태계 위해성평가 기법 및 적용 사례를 제시하여 합리적인 외래생물 관리 도구를 소개하고자 하였다. 일본은 생태계 등에 외래생물이 미칠 수 있는 부정적인 영향을 방지하고자 특정외래생물을 지정하여 수입과 사육 등을 금지하고 있다. 지정 기준은 토착생물에 대한 포식, 경합 및 구축, 환경의 교란 및 유전적 교란 등의 생태계의 피해, 인간의 생명 또는 신체와 관련한 피해, 농림수산업에 대한 피해 정도이다. 독일-오스트리아 블랙 리스트 정보시스템은 외래생물의 생물다양성에 대한 위해성, 분포 정도와 박멸 방안을 평가하여 블랙 리스트, 화이트 리스트 및 그레이 리스트로 구분하고 있다. 주로 외래생물의 생물다양성과 생태계의 구조와 기능에 대한 영향을 중점적으로 고려하며 인체 건강에 대한 피해나 농림수산업 등에 대한 경제적인 피해는 고려하지 않는다. 벨기에의 하모니아 정보시스템에서는 외래생물의 환경에 대한 영향과 국내에서의 침입 단계를 평가하여 블랙 리스트, 감시 리스트, 경계 리스트로 구분한다. 생태계위해성 평가를 위한 주요 항목은 잠재적 분산능력 또는 침입성, 보존가치가 높은 서식지로의 침입, 토착종에 대한 부정적인 영향, 생태계 기능의 변화, 국내에서의 침입 단계 등이 있다. 이러한 방법들은 국내 외래생물의 관리우선순위를 부여하기 위한 생태계위해성 평가 프로토콜을 수립하는데 도움이 될 수 있을 것이다.

This study aimed to obtain fundamental data for demonstrating biodiversity of vegetation of East Asian alder (Alnus japonica) Forest Wetland of Heonilleung Royal Tombs. A total of 166 vascular plants (159 species, three subspecies, three varieties, and one cultivar) belonging to 132 genera and 59 families were found, accounting for 8.3% of 1,996 vascular plant species found in Seoul. Therophyte was the most common life-form of plants in Heonilleung Wetland. As for rare plant species, one Least Concern (LC) species was found. There were 15 floristic regional indicator species in the research area. Three of them belonged to floristic grades III and IV. This indicates that their habitats are discontinuous and isolated to some degree. Nineteen invasive alien plant species were found, most of which were introduced from North America after the year 1964 with a spread rate of V (widespread, WS).

The aim of this study was to collect crucial data for the improvement of water quality and ecosystem conservation by analyzing water samples, sediments, benthic macroinvertebrates, and fish in the Seosan reservoir. The average values of water quality parameters from 2001 to 2016 were a chemical oxygen demand of 10 mg/L, total nitrogen of 1.22 mg/L, and total phosphorus of 0.074 mg/L. Cadmium was detected in the range of 0.531-0.748 mg/kg in the reservoir sediment. Fish belonging to 6 families and 9 species were identified in the reservoir. The dominant species were Carassius auratus and Micropterus salmoides. Benthic macroinvertebrates belonging to 22 families and 28 species were identified. The ecological score of the benthic macroinvertebrate community was 15 inside the reservoir (St. 2). Micropterus salmoides, an invasive alien species, was determined to be the subdominant fish species based on the number of captures, and the presence of the invasive species, Sicyos angulatus L. and Paspalum distichum L. was confirmed among the land flora.

This study was carried out to investigate the flora of six islands belonging to the Gogunsan Archipelago (i.e., Sinsi-do, Seonyu-do, Munyeo-do, Yami-do, Bian-do, and Duri-do) in the Korean Peninsula. As results of five field surveys from March to October of 2016, we have identified 575 total taxa, representing 527 species, five subspecies, 42 varieties, and one hybrid, placed in 358 genera and 118 families. Of these 575 taxa, four are endemic to Korea, six taxa are listed on the Korean Red List of threatened species, 67 are floristic regional indicator plants, and 74 are invasive alien species. In this study, we compared species richness among the islands, and find that the larger the islands, the higher the species richness. In the case of habitat affinity types, forest species were most common, followed by farmland, seacoast, bare ground and wetland species. From similarity analyses based on the composition of vascular plants, each island did not exhibit either local specificity or unique diversity. On the contrary, the proportion of invasive alien and ruderal species may increase by human activities. Investigations and analyses of island flora such as this are important to assess the current status of the flora, predict future vegetation patterns and the spread of the alien species, and establish managment plans of plant diversity.

The establishment of invasive alien species management is widely recognized as a pivotal issue in the preservation of biodiversity. Ranunculus sardous Crantz, a species native to Europe, has been widely introduced in many other areas of the world, including the coasts of the United States, Australia, China, India, and Japan. In Korea, the first population of this plant was found growing adjacent to a wetland in Hanon, Seogwipo-si, Jeju Province, on 22 May 2018. Field observations confirmed the presences of at least two populations of this species in Jeju Province, Korea. This species is similar to Ranunculus sceleratus L., but can be readily distinguished by its presence of the trichomes in the whole plant, longer petioles of radical leaves, ovate-shaped leaf segments, globose to subglobose-shaped fruits and flat achenes with narrowly winged and papillae. The Invasive Alien Plant Risk Assessment (IAPRA), a system for recognizing and categorizing alien plants in Korea forests, was used to assess the invasiveness status of the species. Based on this system, R. sardous received a low score of 6, suggesting its potential invasion to natural forests. Although the current distribution of R. sardous is restricted to Jeju Province and thus far has had limited impact on local environments, local and regulatory authorities should pay close attention to this plant and take measures to prevent its further expansion.
