In the study, the effects of elevated $CO_2$ and temperature on the photosynthetic characteristics, chlorophyll content, nitrogen content, carbon content, and C/N ratio of Phytolacca insularis and Phytolacca americana were examined under control (ambient $CO_2+$ ambient temperature) and treatment (elevated $CO_2+$ elevated temperature) for 2 years (2008 and 2009). The photosynthetic rate, transpiration rate and water use efficiency of two plant species were higher under the treatment than the under the control. The stomatal conductance of P. insularis was higher under the control, but that of P. americana was not significantly affected by $CO_2$ and temperature under the treatment. The chlorophyll contents of two species were decreased about 72.5% and 20%, respectively, by elevated $CO_2$ and temperature. The nitrogen contents of two species were not significantly altered by increase in $CO_2$ and temperature. The carbon contents of the two species were higher under the treatment than under the control. The C/N ratio of P. insularis was higher under the treatment but that of P. americana was not significantly affected by $CO_2$ and temperature. These results demonstrated that the physiological responses of P. insularis native plants might be more sensitively influenced by a $CO_2$-mediated global warming situation than those of the P. americana invasive plants.

In order to compare species-specific calcium metabolism, we collected 127 species belonging to 40 different families grown on various habitats including saline, limestone, wetland during the 1996 vegetation period, and analyzed their inorganic ion contents. Plants investigated were divided into 5 groups according to their physiological properties: 1) Chenopodiaceae, Aizoaceae, Caryophyllaceae, Portulacaceae and Phytolaccaceae of Centrospermales and Polygonaceae (Polygonales had a little water-soluble $Ca^{2+}$ but contained high contents of insoluble $Ca^{2+}$ particularly as Ca-oxalate (Chenopodiaceae type), 2) Some plant species such as Rosaceae produced oxalate in amounts insufficient to precipitate all incoming $Ca^{2+}$ and thus contained a surplus of dissolved $Ca^{2+}$ (Rosaceae type), 3) The contents of water-soluble $Ca^{2+}$ in plant species of Crassulaceae. Plantaginaceae, Asclepiadaceae, and Zygophyllaceae were equal to or greater than those of K ($K/Ca{\leq}1$; Crassulaceae type), and 4) K/Ca ratios of Compositae were significantly fluctuated depending on species and soil $Ca^{2+}$ level of their habitats (Compositae type). 5) Certain monocots (Gramineae, Cyperaceae, Juncaceae), in contrast to the dicotyledonous plant families mentioned above, showed a very distinct type of calcium metabolism, that is, the K/Ca ratios of 8~10 were maintained indifferently in the species and their habitat types (Graminae type). These results plants within the same taxon have similar physiological aspects as weel as morphological attributes. To understand calcium metabolism of certain plant species, therefore, it is desirable to approach on the basis of physiological concept (calciotroph or calciophobe) rather than the ecological one (calcicole or calcifuge).

우리나라에서 비교적 잘 보존되어 있는 난대상록활엽수림의 12개 지역을 대상으로 이 지역에 주로 출현하는 상록수종과 생육하고 있는 희귀 및 멸종위기 식물과 귀화식물을 조사하였다. 난대상록활엽수림에 70% 이상 공통적으로 고르게 출현하는 수종으로는 녹나무과의 생달나무, 후박나무 등 28과 34속 37종류로 파아고디었으묘, 이들 수종은 상록활엽수림의 복원모형을 만드는데 중요한 지표가 되리라 판단된다. 면적 100m$^{2}$당 종수는 보길도가 5.511로 가장 높았으묘, 미조리(4.677), 맹선리(2.481) 등의 순이었다. 관찰된 희귀 및 멸종위기식물은 물푸레나무과의 이팝나무를 포함한 4종 등 총 24과 32종이었으며 보길도에서 13과12종 1변종 등 13종류로 가장 많은 희귀 및 멸종위기식물이 파악되었다. 귀화 및 도입식물의 경우 국화과는 7종, 콩과는 5종, 자리공과는 2종을 파악되었다. 이 외에 비름과, 자작나무과, 능소화과, 명아주과, 닭의장풀과, 측백나무과, 꿀풀과, 아욱과, 분꽃과, 소나무과, 마디풀과 및 낙우송과 등 12과는 각 1종씩 총 12종이 확인되었다. 보길도의 경우 낙우송과의 삼나무 등 총 9과 13속 13종으로 가장 많은 도입 또는 귀화식물이 식재되어 있음을 확인하였다. 또한 격리된 소규모 도서 생태계의 합리적인 보전을 위한 관리계획 수립의 필요성을 논하였다.
