Carex nakasimae Ohwi (Cyperaceae) is an endemic species on the Korean peninsula. This study reports a new locality of the species, updating the distribution map. A new population of the species was found during field surveys in 2014 in a small swamp in Haman-gun, Gyeongsangnam-do province, located in the southeastern part of the Korean peninsula. In the flowering and fruiting periods of the species, the population is associated with ca. 91 vascular plant taxa from 40 families. To conserve the endemic species, maintaining the habitat is critical. Furthermore, taxonomic and phylogenetic positions of the species should be clarified to establish biological conservation strategies for the rare, endemic C. nakasimae.

희귀식물과 특산식물의 보전연구는 국가적 수준에서 식물다양성 유지를 위해 우선되어야 한다. 식물다양성 보전의 필요성에 따라 이들 분류군이 대상이 되는 다양한 연구가 보고되었다. 이러한 시점에서 지금까지의 연구결과를 비교하고 평가할 필요성이 증가하였다. 그리고 수집된 자료를 분석한 결과로부터 국내 희귀식물과 특산식물의 효과적인 보전을 위해 필요한 연구항목과 연구의 방향을 재검토할 필요가 있다. 우리는 희귀식물 및 특산식물이 연구의 대상이 되는 전 세계적인 연구동향을 수집하였다. 그리고 특별히 한국에서의 연구동향을 수집하였다. 희귀 및 특산식물에 대한 연구 분야를 6개의 분야로 구분하였고 그 중 보전생태학의 분야는 '종 특성연구', '개체군 연구' 및 '생물학적 상호작용'의 세부항목으로 구분하였다. 수집된 연구를 종합해 볼 때 보전생태학적 연구는 권역별 그리고 국가별로 큰 차이가 있었다. 보전생태학 연구는 권역별로는 유럽과 북아메리카에서 활발하게 진행되었고 국가별로는 일본과 미국에서 비율이 높았다. 반면에 한국은 기초생태학 연구의 비율이 가장 높았고 보전유전학, 복원생태학 순이었다. 한국에서 보전생태학 연구비율은 세계적인 수준에 비해 낮은 것으로 나타났다. 뿐만 아니라 희귀식물과 특산식물 중에서 환경부 지정 멸종위기식물과 같은 특정 분류군에 대한 연구가 주를 이루었다. 특히, 우리나라에서는 보전유전학 및 복원생태학 연구의 비율이 높았다. 세계적인 연구동향, 특히 보전생태학적 연구를 선도하는 유럽 및 북아메리카와 비교해 볼 때 우리나라에서 희귀 및 특산식물의 효과적인 보전을 위해서는 종 특성에 대한 정보 확보, 개체군 구조와 동태 그리고 식물과 식물, 동물과 식물과의 상호작용을 포함하는 보전생태학적인 연구의 비율을 높이는 접근이 필요함을 제안하였다.

Background: Endemic species are important components in the flora of most world regions. Most of these species have become threatened and exposed to extinction within the last few years. The present study aims to evaluate the ecosystem services offered by the endemic plant taxa in Egypt and the threats that affect them. Twenty-five field visits were conducted during summer 2018 to spring 2022 to several locations all over Egypt. In each location, the main habitats, national distribution, abundance, goods and threats were recorded. Results: Egypt has 41 endemic taxa belonging to 36 genera and 20 families inhabiting 10 main habitats. Rocky surfaces and sandy formations have the highest number of endemic species. The relation between the number of endemic taxa and the abundance categories indicated that 2 taxa are rare (4.9% of the total taxa), while the remaining were very rare (95%). The most represented offered good was the medicinal uses (32 taxa = 78%), while fuel plants were only represented by 2 taxa (2 taxa = 4.9%). Besides, 14 taxa (34.1% of the total studied taxa) have at least 1 environmental service. Soil fertility (7 taxa = 50%) was the most represented, followed by sand accumulations (6 taxa out of 14 taxa = 43%), while shading plant was the least (1 taxon = 7.1%) (Rosa arabica). The most represented threat is over-cutting and over-collecting (38 taxa = 92.7%), while mining and quarrying is the least represented (4 taxa = 9.8%). Conclusions: The potential and actual goods, services and threats of the endemic taxa were assessed as follows; field observation, information collected from local inhabitants and herbalists, and a literature review. The present study recommended planning a strategy about the importance, threats and conservation of endemic taxa in Egypt that would help in the protection and rescue of these plants and increase awareness about the importance of these plants.
