Abstract

The flora in the region of Mt. Sobaeksan National Park ($N36^{\circ}50^{\prime}-37^{\circ}50^{\prime}$, $E128^{\circ}20^{\prime}-128^{\circ}43^{\prime}$) was surveyed from April of 2005 to October of 2011. The vascular plants from 27 field surveys were revealed to total 869 taxa, comprising 112 families, 429 genera, 756 species, four subspecies, 91 varieties and 18 forms. Sixty-eight taxa were the first records from this region. This field study discovered significant plants in various categories. Korean endemic plants numbered 25 taxa, and 18 taxa designated by the Korean Forest Service as rare plants were investigated in this region. The taxa in category II of rare and endangered plants and higher than the third degree among the floristic regional indicator plants designated by the Korean Ministry of the Environment were three taxa and 75 taxa, respectively. From a geographical perspective, limited distribution of Saxifraga octopetala, Corydalis grandicalyx, Aegopodium alpestre, and Polygonatum acuminatifolium at a latitude higher than that of Sobaeksan National Park suggest that Sobaeksan National Park might be the limit line of the distribution of the taxa. Stewartia koreana demonstrate a reversed pattern from the taxa above, occurring at a latitude lower than that of Sobaeksan National Park. In addition, naturalized plants of 53 taxa were recorded.

소백산 국립공원 지역(북위 $36^{\circ}50^{\prime}-37^{\circ}50^{\prime}$, 동경 $128^{\circ}20^{\prime}-128^{\circ}43^{\prime}$)에 자생하는 식물상을 밝히고 주요 식물들의 분포를 파악하였다. 2005년 4월부터 2011년 10월까지 총 27회에 걸친 현지조사를 실시한 결과 소백산 국립공원의 관속식물은 112과 429속 756종 4아종 91변종 18품종의 총 869분류군으로 정리되었다. 이 중 기존의 조사에서는 발견되지 않았으나 본 조사에서 최초로 밝혀진 분류군은 68분류군이었다. 소백산 국립공원에서 자생하는 식물들 중에는 한국 특산식물 25분류군, 산림청 지정 희귀식물 18분류군, 환경부 지정 멸종 위기 야생식물 II급 3분류군, 식물구계학적 특정식물 중 III등급 이상에 해당하는 75분류군 등이 생육하고 있었다. 또한 소백산 국립공원 지역이 한반도 분포의 남한계인 식물로 구실바위취, 갈퀴현호색, 왜방풍, 종둥굴레 등이, 북한계인 식물로 노각나무가 확인되었으며, 귀화식물은 53분류군이 조사되었다.
