This study was conducted to evaluate geographical distribution patterns of natural habitats, soil properties, and plant species grown with native Boehmeria platanifolia in South Korea. The relative density and coverage of Boehmeria platanifolia were 7.0% and 25.6% respectively. Most Boehmeria platanifolia were growing below 200 m of altitude, and they were rarely found at the higher altitude. Over 80% of Boehmeria platanifolia’s habitats were found at below and their habitats were concentrated at the west and the north face slope rather than the south face slope. Nearly 90% of Boehmeria platanifolia were grown at little and middle light condition’s area, and 69.1% of them were natively growing in humid soil in their natural habitats. Soil texture of their habitats were mostly clay loam and the soil pH was 6.2. The contents of soil organic matter was and was . Plant species grown with native Boehmeria platanifolia were 60 family, 125 genus and 171 species. Clematis apiifolia showed the highest relative density and coverage among plant species grown with native Boehmeria platanifolia.
