Description

Algific talus slopes are characterized by locally detected unique micrometeorological phenomena such as cold air blowing or water getting frozen during summer and warm wind blowing during winter in a hole or crack on the rock. It is thus known that rare plants and plants that are uncommon in the environments at close proximity to humans are widely distributed on the algific talus slopes. Notably, as the habitats of polar and alpine plants that naturally grow in low temperature regions are being continuously reduced due to global warming or climate change, the micrometeorological phenomena on algific talus slopes, where low temperature is maintained even in summer, are critical for providing a refuge for plants sensitive to high temperatures and for the conservation of rare and endangered species. This study was conducted to rediscover the phytogeographic values of algific talus slopes by investigating the distribution of five plant types across 25 algific talus slopes as the specific areas of forest biodiversity. Vascular plants were investigated in each season during April 2016 to November 2021. We share the data of the sample collected here.

Data Records

The data in this checklist resource has been published as a Darwin Core Archive (DwC-A), which is a standardized format for sharing biodiversity data as a set of one or more data tables. The core data table contains 1,052 records.

This IPT archives the data and thus serves as the data repository. The data and resource metadata are available for download in the downloads section. The versions table lists other versions of the resource that have been made publicly available and allows tracking changes made to the resource over time.

Geographic Coverage

Algific talus slopes are classified into five types: talus, cave, dent, vertical cave, and others. According to the current status of algific talus slopes by type, 14 algific talus slopes are type talus (e.g., Bangnae-ri, Nae-myeon, Hongcheon-gun), 4 algific talus slopes are type cave (Dongmak-ri, Yeoncheon-eup, Yeoncheon-gun, Gyeonggi-do), 4 algific talus slopes are type dent (Milyang Ice Valley of Samyang-ri, Sannae-myeon, Milyang-si, Gyeongsangnam-do), 1 algific talus slope is type vertical cave (Geom-eun Oreum of Seonheul-ri, Jocheon-eup, Jeju-si, Jeju-do) and 2 algific talus slopes are type others (one of Gwandong-ri, Hwasan-myeon, Haenam-gun, Jeollanam-do and the other of Gwnagjeom-dong, Macheon-myeon, Hamyang-gun, Gyeongsangnam-do).
