Biological Taxonomy Technician (Plants) Practical Test
Description
Book Introduction
Basic knowledge of the plant part for biological taxonomists
Introduction to the expected plant species and related flora
A biological taxonomist is a professional who, based on specialized knowledge of biological taxonomy, engages in tasks such as assessing the usefulness and rarity of biological resources, such as creating biological specimens, collecting biological materials, and identifying and managing organisms through observation and collection of native plants and animals in Korea.
This book is a practical textbook for the plant part of the biological classification exam, and explains in detail the identification, external form, and description terms of plants, which are the basis of plant classification.
In addition, the 300 basic species expected to be tested and 290 related species essential for field plant identification were organized in an organized manner in the form of an illustrated guide.
To help you prepare for the exam, we have systematically categorized the list of endangered wild species, plants endemic to Korea, plants with special botanical characteristics, national red list species, climate change indicator species, naturalized plants, and ecosystem-disrupting organisms so that you can classify and identify plants in the field. In addition, we have included 3 years of previous exam questions for Biological Taxonomy Engineer (Plants) Type A and the past 5 years of practical exam questions (identification questions, written questions) as an appendix.

Publisher's Review
The latest revised edition of the Biological Taxonomy Technician (Plants) practical textbook is back!
- Plant identification, explanation of plant external morphology and terminology, 300 expected plant species + alpha
The National Certified Biological Taxonomy Engineer is a qualification equivalent to a technician level in the environmental field, and its role is more important than ever in the 21st century biotechnology (BT) era.
The Biological Taxonomy Technician (Plants) practical test is based on knowledge of systematics, environmental ecology, morphology, conservation and resource biology, and natural environment-related laws and regulations, and helps students advance as professionals to various research projects and biological and environmental administrative agencies, herbariums, botanical gardens, national parks, animal and plant quarantine stations, customs, and other biological facilities.
This book introduces the biological classification article (plants) and explains the identification method of plants based on newly changed plant names and replaced information, and provides detailed explanations of the external form and description terminology of plants with illustrations.
In addition, a plant guide of 300 species (a total of 590 species, including 290 related species) expected to appear in the biological classification exam is provided with photos and explanations of growth patterns to aid field study.
Appendix includes past exam questions from the past three years and past practical exam questions (sympathetic questions, written questions) from the past five years.
