  • Potential Impact of Climate Change
    Adhikari et al. Journal of Ecology and Environment (2018) 42:36 Journal of Ecology https://doi.org/10.1186/s41610-018-0095-y and Environment RESEARCH Open Access Potential impact of climate change on the species richness of subalpine plant species in the mountain national parks of South Korea Pradeep Adhikari, Man-Seok Shin, Ja-Young Jeon, Hyun Woo Kim, Seungbum Hong and Changwan Seo* Abstract Background: Subalpine ecosystems at high altitudes and latitudes are particularly sensitive to climate change. In South Korea, the prediction of the species richness of subalpine plant species under future climate change is not well studied. Thus, this study aims to assess the potential impact of climate change on species richness of subalpine plant species (14 species) in the 17 mountain national parks (MNPs) of South Korea under climate change scenarios’ representative concentration pathways (RCP) 4.5 and RCP 8.5 using maximum entropy (MaxEnt) and Migclim for the years 2050 and 2070. Results: Altogether, 723 species occurrence points of 14 species and six selected variables were used in modeling. The models developed for all species showed excellent performance (AUC > 0.89 and TSS > 0.70). The results predicted a significant loss of species richness in all MNPs. Under RCP 4.5, the range of reduction was predicted to be 15.38–94.02% by 2050 and 21.42–96.64% by 2070. Similarly, under RCP 8.5, it will decline 15.38–97.9% by 2050 and 23.07–100% by 2070. The reduction was relatively high in the MNPs located in the central regions (Songnisan and Gyeryongsan), eastern region (Juwangsan), and southern regions (Mudeungsan, Wolchulsan, Hallasan, and Jirisan) compared to the northern and northeastern regions (Odaesan, Seoraksan, Chiaksan, and Taebaeksan).

  • Seoraksan National Park, South Korea
    Seoraksan National Park, South Korea Rugged mountains at Seoraksan National Park, South Korea Spread across 398.539 square kilometers, the Seoraksan National Park features the mighty Mount Seoraksan (also known as Mt. Sorak) with ridges, peaks, valleys, waterfalls, flora, fauna, and a number of historical structures. This mountain is part of the Taebaek mountain range in the eastern part of South Korea. Its natural sights make it one of the most popular tourist destinations in the country. As you enter through So Gong Won, the entrance gate to the Seoraksan National Park, you will be drawn towards the panoramic views of the Seoraksan Mountain. A day tour of Seoraksan usually involves sightseeing the Giant Bronze Buddha statue, Sinheungsa Temple, Gwongeumseong Fortress (after a wondrous cable car ride), Yongpyong Dragon Peak, and the Biseondae Cliff. If you have some more time or another day to spare, you can go on a hike to see the 7th-century Baekdamsa Temple. Seoraksan Hiking & Camping Seoraksan is, in fact, a hiker’s paradise. It has numerous hiking courses on offer that lead to some of the most stunning and diverse landscapes, like the Biryong Falls, Daecheongbong Peak (highest in Seoraksan), Gongnyong Ridge, Ulsan Bawi rock formations, Heullimgol Valley, and Geumganggul Cave. The courses range from a day to three days, and are determined according to their difficulty level and distance. While hiking around you may spot a wide range of wildlife species like the Musk Deer and Koral Goral. The park is also home to over 1,400 rare species of plants.

The results were as follows. The observed number of birds was 5,827 individuals of 92 species in total (Sum of maximum number of observation). II area (Dakmokryeong~Gitdaegibong) had the most number of species (71 species) and individuals (1,831 individuals). On the other han, V area (Yuksimnyeong~Yeowonjae) had the least number of species (40 species) and individuals (446 individuals). The major dominant birds were Fringilla montifringilla, Aegithalos caudatus, Emberiza elegans, Microscelis amaurotis, and Garrulus glandarius. The birds which wintered during the winter season and formed a colony were the major dominant birds. The species diversity was relatively high (3.60 in total). In particular, IV area (Hyeongjebong~ Satgatbong) was the highest (3.45) but V area was the lowest (2.93).
