Flora of vascular plants on exposed reclaimed area of Saemangeum region
This study was carried out to investigate flora of vascular plants in Saemangeum National Arboretum that will be opened in 2027, where has been changing from ocean floor to reclaimed land slowly. Fieldwork was conducted ever from March to October in 2019. Result of research, vascular plants were summarized as 101 taxa, including 25 families, 72 genera, 91 species, 8 subspecies, 2 varieties. Floristic special plants were totally 5 taxa, which were grade I of 3 taxa, grade III of 1 taxon, and grade IV of 1 taxon. Rare and endangered plants of designated by Korea Forest Service was 1 taxon, Phacelurus latifolius (Steud.) Ohwi. Naturalized plants were 29 taxa, urbanization index (UI) was 9.0%, and naturalization index (NI) was 28.7%, which is more than twice the average NI of South Korea (10.5%). 76% of naturalized plants were annual plants (11 taxa) and biennial plants (11 taxa), which means flora is rapidly changing as affected by changes of aerial and soil environment. We need to conduct ecological monitoring continuously, and accumulated researches of floral changes in reclaimed area help us infer ecological succession.
