To monitor vegetation structure of evergreen broad-leaved forest, twenty plots were set up at Wando Arboretum in 1996. Twenty plots were divided into ten experimental plots and control plots. A few evergreen broad-leaved species were planted after selective cutting at ten experimental plots. Dominant species of twenty plots were Quercus acuta, Q. acuta and Carpinus tschonoskii, Pinus densiflora, etc.. Vegetation structure of the experimental plots showed seral stage of succession from P. densiflora community or deciduous broad-leaved forest to Q. acuta community. Dominant species of the experimental plots were changed to Q. acuta or P. densiflora after selective cutting. And a number of species and individuals, coverages etc. were increased at shrub and ground cover layer after treatment.

In order to monitor the vegetation restoration in the evergreen broad-leaved forest, eighteen experimental plots including control plots were established at Wando Arboretum in 1996. Several treatments such as density control, selective cutting and warm temperate species planting were done in the experimental plots. Seven years after the restoration experiments, the important percentage of Quercus acuta showed a tendency to a higher increase in the experiment plots than control plots in Q. Acutu. Also the important percentage of Q. Acuta in Q. acute Carpinus tschonoskii community increased in the tree layer. Pinus densiflora community was increased highly in important percentage of Q. Acuta, As a whole, vegetation structure in the experiment plot showed successional stage to Q. Acutu community. In addition, important percentage of evergreen broad-leaved trees and shrubs and number of warm temperate species and basal area were increased in the experiment plots while the introduced evergreen broad-leaved trees were declined.

We report a previously unrecorded woody species, Stachyurus praecox Siebold & Zucc. (Stachyuraceae), in Korea. This species is considered to be endemic to Japan. Stachyurus praecox was collected for the first time in an evergreen forest on an uninhabited island of Bongsun-ri, Saengil-myeon, Wando-gun, Jeollanam-do in Korea. The inflorescence of the species was racemose and pendulous on the axils of the previous year's branches. Flowers bloomed from March to April. They were functionally dioecy but morphologically hermaphrodite. This woody species was named 'Wan-do-sul-kkot-na-mu' in Korean based on the shape of its inflorescence. Morphological characteristics and illustrations of this woody species have been provided with a distribution map and photographs of the natural habitat.

A phytosociological study on the community structure was carried out in the evergreen broad-leaved forests around Baegunbong area in Wando from June to August, 2000. A total of 31 plots, the size of which was $10m{\times}30m$, were set up in the study area. Cluster analysis for the total 54 tree species appearing in the 31 plots, showed that forest community cloud be classified into 5 groups, such as : Quercus acuta community, Quercus acuta-Camellia japonica community, Quercus acuta-Deciduous broad-leaved tree species community, Quercus acuta-Evergreen Deciduous broad-leaved tree species community, Quereus acuta-Carpinus tschonoskii community. The species of high appearance frequency ratio in 31 plots were Quercus acuta, Camellia japonica, Styrax japonica, Eurya japonica, Ligustrum japonicum, Cinnamomum japonicum, Sapium japonicum and Acer psuedo-sieboldianum. Dominant tree species were covered with Quercus acuta, Styrax japonica, Prunus sargentii, Carpinus laxiflora and Quercus serrata, and Quercus acuta, Camellia japonica, Eurya japonica, Ligustrum japonicum, Cinnamomum japonicum and Sapium japonicum at sub-canopy. The forest vegetation in the surveyed area except the summit of Baegunbong will be proceeding with Quercus acuta community. The species diversity of Quercus acuta community, Quercus acuta-Camellia japonica community, Quercus acuta-Deciduous broad-leaved tree species community, Quercus acuta-Evergreen Deciduous broad-leaved tree species community, and Quercus acuta-Carpinus tschonoskii community were 0.687, 0.866, 0.933, 0.966, and 1.018, respectively. The species diversity of Quercus acuta community was rather low.

A new taxon of Ilex is described from Wando Island, Province Jeonnam, Korea. Ilex x wandoensis C. F. Miller & M. Kim hybrid nov. originates from the natural hybridization of the parent species, I. cornuta Thunb. and I. integra Thunb. Leaves of the new taxon have smooth, spinose margins, a condition that is intermediate between the twisted, spinose leaf margins of I. cornuta and the smooth, entire margins of I. integra. The new hybrid species shares several characters with its two parents, including evergreen leaves, dioecy, and red drupes.

The aim of this study was to investigate the amount (i.e., retention volume) and chemical composition of Natural volatile organic compounds (NVOCs) across different sites in a temperate forest. The three forest sites that were considered include riparian zones (site 1), streams (site 2), and densely-canopied areas (site 3). From May to October 2021, a mini pump was used to measure the collected NVOCs. These measurements were conducted once a month, from 10:30 am to 11:30 am; these times encompass peak visitation times. In the tree layers of the site 1 and 2, Quercus acuta was dominant, whereas Camellia japonica dominated their subtree layers. On the other hand, the tree layer of site 3 was dominated by Castanopsis sieboldii, whereas Camellia japonica dominated its subtree layer. The retention volume and chemical composition of NVOCs was as follows: benzaldehyde (107.528ppm), α-pinene (37.868ppm), linalool (16.258ppm), eucalyptol (14.818ppm), and sabinene hydrate (14.679ppm). In particular, the retention volume of benzaldehyde decreased as temperature increased. In contrast, the retention volume of α-pinene increased as the temperature increased. The differences in forest topography across the studies sites were in the following order: riparian area> forest area> stream area.

The ecological characteristics of 10 natural stands of Dendropanax morbifera(Haenam, Wando 1, Wando 2, Bogildo, Kemundo and Hongdo and Sendol, Suoak, Hannam, and Kidowon populations in Cheju island) were studied. In most of the Dendropanax morbifera natural stands, the following tree species appeared predominantly : Camellia japonica, Castanopsis cuspidate var. sieboldii, Castanopsis cuspidate var. thunbergii, Carpinus laxiflora, Quercus acute and Eurya japonica. Especially, Camellia japonica and Eurya japonica appeared in all the stands. Dendropanax morbifera occupied 17.2% of the upper story, 12.9% of the middle story, and 10.3% of the lower story, respectively. The distribution patterns by Morisita's Index showed that Dendropanax morbifera was distributed randomly in all of the three stories, i.e. the upper, the middle and the lower stories. Dendropanax morbifera was positively associated with Camellia japonica, Eurya japonica, Carpinus laxiflora, Cinnamomum japonicum, Ligustrum japonicum, Callicarpa Japonica, Castanopsis cuspidate var. thunbergii, Castanopsis cuspidata var. sieboldii, Daphniphyllum macropodum, Acer palmatum and Euonymus oxyphyllus. This might suggest that the ecological niche is similar to each other. The cluster analysis using percent dissimilarity(PD) based on species composition divided into two groups. One group consisted of the populations located along the south-western coasts. The other group consisted of the populations of Cheju island. This result was agree with that of ordination analysis. From these results, We could find out that the species composition of the populations of Dendrapanax morbifera in Cheju island was quite different from those of other regions.
