Abstract

The districbution of $C_3; and; C_4$ type plants in Korea were studied. In the standpoint of photosynthetic types, plant distribution in Korea is classified as $C_3; and; C_4$ type plant zones. The forest destroyed by man interference, cultivating areas, and seashore areas are characterized by the dominant of $C_4$ type plants.(Figs. 2, 3, 4, 5) According to the results of this study, $C_3; and; C_4$ type plant distribution in Korea has a great relation to the habitat of plant vegetation (Table 1). The arid areas were in high proportion of C4 flora percenntages, while the well-developed woody forests or the vegetation of humid areas were in lower proportion(Fig.8).
