Abstract

Species invasions have rapidly increased due to the substantial growth of global trade in the recent past. As the awareness of the negative effects on natural ecosystems derived from alien species has grown, many countries and lawmakers have enacted rules and policies on the conservation of indigenous plants. Unfortunately, in Korea, research on species invasion is seriously lacking despite the growing number of alien species. In the current study, we report alien plants that have intentionally and/or unintentionally been introduced in Korea and also presented a checklist of invasive plants found both in the literature and in field surveys. We reviewed all documented records of alien plants, i.e., scientific papers, illustrated books, and annual reports. We also categorized alien plants by origin, time of introduction, naturalization, and the rate of their spread. The results revealed that there are 619 alien plant taxa (96 families, 353 genera, 595 species, 6 subspecies, 11 varieties, 1 forma, and 6 hybrids) occurring in Korea. Among these, 30 taxa are archaeophytes (Arc.), 214 are potentially invasive plants (PIPs), and 375 are invasive alien plants (IAPs). In addition, IAP taxa consist of grades 5 (widespread, WS) to 1 (potential spread, PS) of alien plants according to the rate of spread in Korea. Our results suggested that the number of alien plants is likely to keep growing; thus, the distribution should be regularly monitored and the list of alien plants must be updated.

세계화에 따른 국제교류가 증가함에 따라 외래식물의 국내 유입 또한 증가하고 있다. 외래식물이 자연생태계에 미칠 수 있는 여러 부정적인 영향들이 알려지면서 전 세계적으로 자생식물의 보전을 위한 국가 차원의 관리 및 여러 정책들이 수행되고 있지만, 국내의 경우 이들의 현황 파악조차 미흡한 실정이다. 본 연구는 국립수목원에서 수행하는 '외래식물 다양성 변화 및 위험성 평가' 과제의 일환으로 수행된 연구결과 중 일부로, 국내에 유입되어 정착화되었거나, 재배지로부터 일출되어 자연생태계로 확산 가능성이 높은 외래식물의 현황을 파악하였고, 산림청 국립수목원을 비롯한 타부처 외래식물 목록과 관련 주요 도감 및 문헌들을 재검토하였다. 또한 이들을 원산지, 도입시기 및 정착 여부에 따라 체계화하였고, 침입외래식물로 분류되는 외래식물들은 국내 분포정보를 바탕으로 확산정도를 등급화 하였다. 그 결과 국내에 분포하는 외래식물은 96과 353속, 595종, 6아종, 11변종, 1품종, 6잡종의 총 619분류군으로 파악되었으며, 이 중 사전귀화식물 30분류군, 잠재침입식물 214분류군이었고, 침입외래식물은 총 375분류군으로 5등급(widespread, WS)이 19분류군, 4등급(serious spread, SS) 16분류군, 3등급(concerned spread, CS) 19분류군, 2등급(minor spread, MS) 37분류군, 1등급(potential spread, PS) 284분류군으로 나타났다. 외래식물은 앞으로도 계속 유입될 것이고, 이들의 분포 또한 환경 및 기타요인에 의해 변하기 때문에 지속적인 현황파악이 수행되어야 한다.
