Vegetation and environment in natural habitats of Aster scaber and Epimedium koreanum around Chunchon was studied to eatablish agroforestry technology for high quality production of wild vegetable. The number of species within the quadrat in natural habitat of Aster scaber was respectively 20, 26, and 25 in Chunchon A, Mt. Yeonyup A, and Mt. Yeonyup B. The number of species within the quadrat in natural habitat of Epimedium koreanum was respectively 15, 32, and 26 in Chunchon B, Bukbangmyon, and Mt. Taeryong. The dominant species in habitat of Aster scaber was respectively Artemisia keiskeana, Disporun smilacinum, and Calamagrostis arundinacea in Chunchon A, Mt. Yeonyup A, and My. Yeonyup B while that in habitat of Epimedium koreanum was respectively Pteridium aquilinum. Artemisia keiskeana, and Disporun smilacinum in Chunchon B, Bukbangmyon, and Mt. Taeryong. Soil pH in habitats of Aster scaber and Epimedium koreanum ranged from 4.5 to 5.3. The contents of organic matter in habitat soil ranged from 1.5% in Chunchon A to 5.5% in Mt. Yeonyup B. The contents of ammonia-nitrogen and nitrate-nitrogen in soil were respectively 0.0043 mg/kg in habitat of Aster scaber and 0.0025mg/kg in habitat of Epimedium koreanum.
