Abstract

The study on vascular plants of Gohado Island was conducted over 17 field surveys from August 2021 to October 2023. As the study, a total of 431 taxa were recorded, including: 105 families, 294 genera, 395 species, seven subspecies, 27 varieties, and two forma. In the vascular plants, three endangered wild plants were recorded, Saururus chinensis (Lour.) Baill., Dendrobium moniliforme (L.) Sw. and Cleisostoma scolopendrifolium (Makino) Garay. Taxa of National Red List published by the Ministry of Environment of Korea were 12 taxa. A total of five Korean endemic plants were investigated for example Weigela subsessilis (Nakai) L. H. Bailey and Clematis brachyura Maxim. A total of 81 taxa of floristic regional indicators (3rd to 5th degree) were investigated including four taxa of V, six taxa of IV, 15 taxa of III, 10 taxa of II, and 46 taxa of I. Alien plants were recorded a total of 91 taxa with a Naturalization Index of 18.3%., the Urbanization Index was calculated to be 26.7%, and, seven taxa of ecosystem disturbance plants were investigated such as Solanum carolinense L., Hypochaeris radicata L. and Solidago altissima L. As the result of comparison with previous studies, in this study a total of 239 taxa were newly identified including: 75 families, 178 genera, 214 species, five subspecies, 19 varieties, and one forma. The results of this study will serve as fundamental information for identifying methods to conserve native resources in Gohado Island and for efficiently managing and sustainably utilizing resource plants.
