It is estimated that just the South Korean part of this mountain range might include 1,500 plant species, i.e., about one third of the total flora of the Korean Peninsula (4,662 vascular plant species; Kim, 2006)
About one hundred of the plant species native to the BDDG are endemic to the Korean Peninsula (Choi, 2004), with some of them being exclusively distributed within these mountains (e.g., Gymnospermium microrrhychum, Hanabusaya asiatica, Megaleranthis saniculifolia, and Smilacina bicolor; Figure 1)
Summary
Mi Yoon Chung 1, Sungwon Son 2, Gang Uk Suh 2, Sonia Herrando-Moraira 3, Cheul Ho Lee 2*, Jordi López-Pujol 3* and Myong Gi Chung 4*. Animal surveys of the BDDG are not as complete as for plants, they suggest that this mountain range would be very rich in species diversity.
