1. Project title:
Studies on the useful plants in Korean flora for military and agricultural use in relation to ecological charactors and utilization methods, etc,.

2. Purpose of project:

A systematic study of useful plants (edible and medicinal etc.) grown naturally in Korea is needed  not only for potential use in the domestic and foreign agriculture but also for other uses such as of military purpose.

An self-understandable methods of discremination and incident utilization, as well as distribution chart for edible, medicinal plans should offer a kind of powerful equipment for an detached soldier or parachutist from main bedy as we had experienced in Korean war to maintain their safety.

Exploring utilization value classifying by practical uses for vegetables, soil conservation crops, feeding crops, floriculture and medicines etc. as well as clarifying growth and reproduction habits, and ecological charactors partly revealed by distribution chart) are necessary for concrete utilization to domestic and foreign agriculture responding special regions and type of farming.

Also, a systematic understanding of Korean flora will be achieved by revealing the causal factors of distribution or locality of Korea.

3. Work procedure:
1) Collection and field surveys:

 a. Preliminary classification of ecological regions by factors of distribution (temperature of winter and growing season, precipitation and moisture, soil, topography etc.) with existing data and preliminary survey. (e.g.fig.1)

 b. For each unit region classified, four or five areas which conserved natural flora (as far as possible) are selected.

 And every kind of useful plans are collected. At the same time the covering density of each useful plants in each unit region are surveyed.
