This study was conducted to provide information on alien species to the Baekdudaegan Protected Area eco-survey by Ministry of Environment in South Korea from 2015 to 2019. The scope of the survey is based on data from 26 subsections out of 44 subsections in five regions, excluding Korea National Park. In the study area, a total 58 taxa, consisting of 16 family, 48 genera, 56 species, two varieties were found. In addition, five species of ecosystem-disturbing species were identified that Ambrosia artemisiifolia, Aster pilosus, Rumex acetosella, Solanum carolinense, Humulus japonicus. However, the habitat of ecosystem-disturbing species could not be confirmed in the subsections of Dakmokjae-Kubusiryeong (designated number, 13-20), Gisdaebaegibong-Doraegijae (designated number, 23, 24), Ihwaryeong-Haneuljae (designated number, 33), and Neuljae-Miljae (designated number, 37). The spatial status of alien flora on the Baekdudaegan Protected Area monitored by Ministry of Environment in our data can be basic ecological information for the conservation and management of plant species diversity on it.
