The vascular flora of Mt. Deokhang (a.s.l. 1072.5m, $37^{\circ}17^{\prime}{\sim}37^{\circ}20^{\prime}N$, $128^{\circ}09^{\prime}{\sim}129^{\circ}03^{\prime}E$), one of the limestone areas in Korea and is located between Samcheok-si and Taebaek-si, Gangwon-do, is surveyed from 10 Oct. 2003 to 4 Oct. 2005. The characteristics of the flora from the phytogeographical point of view is also discussed. The number of the vascular plant taxa identified in this study is 590 in total which belongs to 90 families, 337 genera, 537 species, 4 subspecies, 46 varieties and 3 forms. Of them, 30 taxa are endemic to Korea, 4 taxa are legally protected ones, and 17 taxa are generally regarded as rare and endangered species in Korea. Naturalized plants are 19 taxa. The phytogeographical importance and the conservation strategy of the flora of Mt. Deokhang focusing on either rare, endemic or phytogeographically important species are discussed.

While preparing a floristic study of Korean hepatics, we discovered four unrecorded species collected from Mt. Geumo, Donggang river, Mt. Deokhang, and Mt. Naebyeon in Korea. Plagiochila shangaica Steph., Porella stephaniana (C. Massal.) S. Hatt., Porella chinensis (Steph.) S. Hatt., Solenostoma horikawanum (Amakawa) V$\acute{a}\check{n}$a, Hentschel & J. Heinrichs are reported for the first time in Korea here.

This study classified the types of major forest vegetation and analyzed the syngeographical characteristics of the vegetation in the Mt. Deokhang with exhumed lime rocks. The forest vegetation on the ridge of Mt. Deokhang was classified into 1 community group, 3 communities, 2 groups, and 2 subgroups, 5 types in total. The syngeographical form of Deokhangsan fully exhibited the topographical peculiarity, proximity to subalpine, and limestone zone. In addition, Carex ciliato-marginata, Carex humilis var. nana, and so forth which appear as species with high consistency in the well-drained semiarid zone represent the soil environment of the lime stone area and northern plants such as Carex ussuriensis and Asplenium ruta-muraria represent the characteristics of the vegetation in alpestrine in close proximity. Moreover, the Carpinus turczaninowii in the area appears to show the characteristics of migratory vegetation due to the peculiarity of the habitat. The syngeographical characteristics of this study area show both the characteristics of the habitat and phytogeographic characteristics. Furthermore, they are expected to contribute to the diversity in community and habitat form in Korean peninsula in terms of vegetation science.

We named and described Clematis calcicola J. S. Kim, a new species of Clematis sect. Atragene (Ranunculaceae) found in a limestone area of Mt. Deokhang, Korea. Clematis calcicola is distinguished from the other species of sect. Atragene by 1) sparsely dentate, glabrescent, and subcoriaceous leaflets and 2) smooth and thick sepals.

덕항산 산림유전자원보호구역(337ha)은 강원도 삼척시 신기면에 위치하며, 남한에서 유일하게 해발고도 1,000m에 가까운 고산지대에 발달한 카르스트지형을 가지고 있다. 본 연구는 석회암지대의 식생현황을 제공하여 석회석 광산 채굴 등 황폐화가 진행되고 있는 석회암지대의 식생을 복원하기위한 식생자료로 활용되고자 실시되었다. 2018년 4월 9일부터 10월 31일 까지 총 15회에 걸친 계절별 현지 조사를 실시한 결과, 덕항산 지역에서 발견된 관속식물은 90과 302속 479종 4아종 51변종 3품종 총 537분류군으로 조사되었다. 그 중 한국특산식물은 북부지방 고산지대에 자생한다고 알려진 Pseudostellaria setulosa Ohwi(숲개별꽃)과 우리나라 석회암지대에서만 발견된다고 알려진 Saussurea calcicola Nakai(사창분취)와 Peucedanum insolens Kitag.(덕우기름나물)을 포함하여 18분류군이 발견되었고, 희귀 및 멸종위기식물은 멸종위기 야생식물 II급에 속하는 Astilboides tabularis (Hmsl.) Engl.(개병풍)과 Vioela websteri Hemsl.(왕제비꽃)을 포함하여 18분류군이 분포하였다. 또한 석회암지대 지표식물 33분류군, 식물구계학적 특정식물 총 113분류군이 조사되었으며, 귀화식물은 27분류군이 확인되었다. 기후변화 취약식물은 특산식물 11분류군, 북방계식물 22분류군으로 총 33분류군이 조사되었다. 본 대상지는 온대북부 석회암지대의 특성상 특산식물과 북방계식물이 주로 발견되었으며, 남방계식물은 현재까지 발견되지 않았다. 지구온난화로 인한 남방계 식물의 북상은 우려와는 달리 현재까지는 미비한 수준으로 판단되며, 북방계식물의 생육에 적합한 환경을 유지하고 있는 것으로 판단된다.

This is a study intended to investigate the environmental factors including vegetation and soil in order to better understand the environmental and ecological characteristics of four different habitats of Pulsatilla tongkangensis(Mt. Baekun, Maha-ri, Kyulam-ri and Mt. Deokhang). These habitats, according to investigations, are mostly located on the slopes of mountains facing northwest at an altitude of 220m to 772m above sea level with angles of inclination ranging from 41 degree to 85 degree. A total of 27 vascular plant taxa are identified in ten quadrates of the four habitats. The importance value of these plants is as follows: Pulsatilla tongkangensis is 9.65%; Carex humilis var. nana 28.93%; Potentilla dickinsii 16.55%; Mukdenia rossii 7.09%; Peucedanum terebinthaceum and Eragrostis ferruginea 4.55%; and Vicia venosa var. albiflora 3.90%. The importance value of these six species is high, so they are at affinity with P. tongkangensis m their habitats. The degree of their average species diversity is 0.75, and that of dominance and evenness 0.24 and 0.85, respectively. Their average field capacity of soil is 19.05%, organic matter 10.51%, and soil pH is 7.43, which are similar among their habitats.
