Epilogue 690

A wondrous microcosm rooted in a harsh, salty environment
Exploring coastal plant communities

Persevere, ponder, and somehow manage to live on

Salt is poison to plants that live rooted in the ground.
This is because green photosynthetic cells easily lose water through osmosis and dry out and die.
Coastal plants that survive on the seashore, which usually does not allow plant life, should be called salt-tolerant rather than halophilic.
The process through which they endured and pondered over the long years to cross the border of death to life can be clearly seen by looking closely at the plant.
The mysterious structure that arises from desperation is truly a microcosm.


Deeper and sharper plant exploration

We conducted an in-depth analysis of 104 plant species that live in diverse coastal environments, from pine trees that grow and die on dry coastal cliffs, to roses that adorn silvery sand dunes, and sea cucumbers that re-enter saltwater waters from freshwater habitats.
We have meticulously organized ecological information, which is a means of understanding morphological characteristics and behavioral patterns that are helpful for classification, and we have also covered in detail the natural and cultural history of coastal plants on the Korean Peninsula.
Following volumes 1 and 2, we also put consistent effort into tracing the unique names of our plants.


Declaration on the Current Situation of Coastal Plants on the Korean Peninsula

The future of many coastal plants in Korea, including the island pine, which forms a very unique plant community, the ice age relict plant, the snowdrop, and the ecologically essential resource, the sedge, is in jeopardy.
This is because human interference, such as reckless development and the reckless introduction of foreign flowering plants, is constant, and habitats are disappearing or being destroyed due to rising temperatures and sea level changes caused by climate change.
To highlight the urgent need for conservation and restoration based on the concept of habitat, we have detailed the current status of coastal plants, which are vulnerable to wind damage.
