This study was conducted for clarifying distribution and characteristics of marshy Ericaceae plants on Mt. Changbai in China. The marshy Ericaceae plants in wetland of Mt. Changbai were investigated on about 1400 m altitude. This region is various developmental wetlands and vegetation mixture of needle-leaf trees and broad-leaf trees. This region also is start point of the coniferous forest zone in Mt. Changbai. As results of these researches, L. palustre var. diversipilosum and L. palustre var. decumbens populations were investigated in Larix olgensis var. amurensis community. R. lapponicum subsp. parvifolium var. parvifolium community appeared as a typical community. Environmental conditions of L. palustre var. diversipilosum and L. palustre var. decumbens populations' habitats are more soil humidity and shade condition. R. lapponicum subsp. parvifolium var. parvifolium community habitat, however, has more deposits and humidity condition. Therefore when the plants were cultivated, we should recognize the growth condition such as maintenance of humidity and control deposits. The flora of marshy Ericaceae species habitats was investigated as 28 families, 49 genera, 45 species, 14 variety, 1 forma, 1 sub-species, and total 61 taxa.

In the lepidopteran surveys in Mt. Changbai, China, during 2000-2003, 10 species of the genus Zanclognatha Lederer of Noctuidae were recognized. Of them, a new species, Zanclognatha lui sp. novo is described, two species (Zanclognatha umbrosalis Staudinger and Z. perfractalis Bryk) are reported for the first time from China, and four species (Z. fumosa, Z. lilacina, Z. violacealis and Z. tarsipennalis) are newly known from Mt. Changbai. Synonymies, distributional ranges, photos of the genitalia, and images of the new and newly recorded species are given.

Thirty-four species of the subfamily Plusiinae were recognized from the lepidopteran expeditions to Mt. Changbai during 2000-2004. Among them, six species (Abrostola ussuriensis Dufay, Polychrysia aurata (Staudinger), P. splendida (Butler), Lamprotes mikadina (Butler), Autographa amurica (Staudinger), and A. v-minus (Oberthur)) are reported for the first time from China. Three previously reported species Antoculeora ornatissima (Walker), Autographa nigrisigna (Walker), and Syngrapha hochenwarthi (Hochenwarth) were not found in this study, Photographic images of adults of the newly known species from China and their male or female genitalia are given, with a check list of the 37 known species of the subfamily in Mt Changbai.

During 1999~2000 expedition to Mt. Changbai-san in China, twenty species of Gelechiidae were recognized. Most of the species, except Anacampsis popullela (Clerk), are known for the first time from Mt. Changbai-san, and nine species are newly known from China. Scrobipalpa atriplicella (Fisher and Roslerstamm) and Anarsia lineatella (Zeller) are unknown species from the Korean Peninsula. A new combination, Carpatolechia dehania (Park, 1993), comb. nov. is given.

Twenty-six species of the subfamily Herminiinae were recognized from the lepidopteran surveys in Mt. Changbai (China) during 1999-2004. Among them, six species are reported for the first time from China: Paracolax fascialis (Leech), P. fentoni (Butler), Polypogon gryphalis Herrich-Sch$\"{a}$ffer, Sinarella japonica (Butler), S. punctalis (Herz), and S. cristulalis (Staudinger): and seven species are new to Mt. Changbai: Hadennia incongruens (Butler), Paracolax tristalis (Fabricius), Paracolax trilinealis (Bremer), Idia quadra (Graeser), Hydrillodes morosa (Butler), Herminia grisealis [Denis & Schifferm$\"{u}$ller], and Sinarella nigrisigna (Leech). For the six newly reported species from China, taxonomical notes, color images of adults, and figures of the male or the female genitalia are provided.

Based on the former researches, this article studied the influence of cone harvesting of Korean pine on the regeneration of Korean pine trees and the life of animals in Mt. Changbai Nature Reserve. When the cone matures, scales of the cone do not open so the seeds can not be released automatically. And the seeds, if left inside, are hard to germinate and can not grow further into seedlings. The seeds of Korean pine have deep dormancy characteristics. Natural regeneration of Korean pine is very poor under mother trees. Hoarding behavior of dispersing animals not only helps animals for food shortage period but also contributes to the dispersion of seeds of Korean pine. Among those hoarding animals, squirrel and Eurasian nutcrackers are found to be the most important dispersing agents for the seeds of Korean pine. After cone harvesting, the number of those dispersers reduced a lot since the seeds of Korean pine are very important food for them. Seed quantity of Korean pine on surface layer became very few and most of them only showed single distribution. Most of the seeds were buried under litter layer and showed a single or 2-4 seeds/cluster distribution. The case of more than 4 seeds in one cluster was few. The seed quantity of Korean pine forest on steep slopes of the research area was only 0.3% of the seed quantity in 1980 for the same forest type. If seed source of Korean pine are not protected, Korean pine forest in Mt. Changbai Nature Reserve would not maintain present feature in the future.

This research conducted a vegetation survey on Mt. Changbai which are habitats of Papaver radicatum var. pseudoradicatum to obtain a basic data for artificial cultivation. The habitas of P. radicatum var. pseudoradicatum consisted of two communities as Dryas octopetala var. asiatica community and Aconogonon ajanense community. The community units as D. octopetala var. asiatica community and A. ajanense community belong to alpine vegetation in Mt. Changbai. A. ajanense community is distributed around altitude of 2007-2061m, and D. octopetala var. asiatica community is distributed altitude of 2350-2570m at relatively high elevation. According to the correlation between the vegetation structure and elevation. This vegetation structure can be simplified at the herb layer. The vegetation is classified into D. octopetala var. asiatica community and A. ajanense community on the axis 1 basis in the BC ordination analysis. Further, there appeared higher plant life totalling to 40 taxa comprising 35 species, 4 varieties and 1 forma with 20 families and 34 genuses at the whole survey area. Among these, Cyperaceae and Ericaceae plants excellent in resistance to environment was surveyed the most, accounting for 16%.
