“…Many studies have focused on how climate change affects the growing season and phenology of plants (Hur et al 2014;Hur and Ahn 2015;Ahn et al 2016;Choi et al 2016;Lee et al 2018). Plant phenology studies have been mainly conducted at the monitoring level at the long-term ecology research sites of national research institutes.…”

“…A few studies conducted correlation analyses between plant phenology and temperature, such as correlations between temperature and temporal changes in the timing of flowering and budburst. In one study, the timing of budburst was estimated over an entire Korean forest using satellite imaging; the timing was highly correlated with April mean temperature and the average temperature of the budburst date (3°C, 12 days) (Choi et al 2016). The timing of flowering and leafing out of five subalpine plant species, Lilium cernuum, Primula modesta var.…”

In this review, we aimed to synthesize the current knowledge on the observed and projected effects of climate change on the ecosystems of Korea (i.e., the Republic of Korea (ROK) or South Korea), as well as the main causes of vulnerability and options for adaptation in these ecosystems based on a range of ecological and biogeographical data. To this end, we compiled a set of peer-reviewed papers published since 2014. We found that publication of climate-related studies on plants has decreased in the field of plant phenology and physiology, whereas such publication has rapidly increased in plant and animal community ecology, reflecting the range shifts and abundance change that are occurring under climate change. Plant phenology studies showed that climate change has increased growing seasons by advancing the timing of flowering and budburst while delaying the timing of leafing out. Community ecology studies indicated that the future ranges of cold-adapted plants and animals could shrink or shift toward northern and high-elevation areas, whereas the ranges of warm-adapted organisms could expand and/or shift toward the areas that the aforementioned cold-adapted biota previously occupied. This review provides useful information and new insights that will improve understanding of climate change effects on the ecosystems of Korea. Moreover, it will serve as a reference for policy-makers seeking to establish future sectoral adaptation options for protection against climate change.
