CHUNG, Yung HO, and Kyu Baek UHM. (Dept. of Botany, Seoul National University.) Moss flora on Mt. Odae in its climatic aspects. Kor. Jour Bot 4(2) 33~40 1961
The moss flora and it´s geoecological study were made on Mt. Odae which is situated in the eastern part(37˚43´ N. Lat., 120˚30´ E. Long) of Korea.
The total number of mosses collected on Mt. Odae in the autumn of 1960 is 50 species, 1 varieties and 1 subspecies, belonging to 23 families.
For climate index, Warmth index and Humidity index were calculated on Mt. Odae. From the result, it was known that the c1imate of Mt. Odae is Humid temperate climte and that it´s vegetation zone is Deciduous broad-leaf forest zone.
Moss Quotient of this mountain is 1.21 and it indicates that the plant climate of Mt. Odae is Hemicryptophytic climate.
The moss flora of this mountain was discussed from the pnytogeographical point of view. The flora consists of the following elements:
Holaectic element: 20 species (38.5%)
North Pacific element: 1 (1.9%)
Cosmopolitan element: 6 (11.6%)
Tropical element: 1 (1.9%)
East Asiatic element: 12 (23.05%)
Korean-Japan element: 12 (23.05%)
Coefficient of closeness was also calculated between the moss flora of Mt Odae and that of Mt. Sulak and Mt. Kwanak. It was known, therefore, that the flora relation between Mt. Odae and the Mt. Sulak was closer than that between Mt. Odae and Mt. Kwanak.
