Abstract: This study utilized intensive survey data conducted in accordance with the Wetland Conservation Act to organize the distribution of plants in each of the five wetland protect areas on Jeju-do and analyze their wetland preferences. The plants were identified as 498 taxa in Mulyeongari-oreum, 360 taxa 1100 Highland, 250 taxa in Muljangori-oreum, 535 taxa in Dongbaekdongsan, 300 taxa in Sumeunmulbaengdui. Among these, taxa for which wetland preferences were not identified were excluded, and an analysis of wetland preferences was conducted. According to the analysis of wetland preferences, the proportion of obligate upland plant (OBU) was the highest in all regions, Muljangori-oreum (67.7%), Mulyeongari-oreum (64.1%), 1100 Highland (58.8%), Sumeunmulbaengdui (58.4%), and Dongbaekdongsan (57.6%) followed. Wetland plants, including obligate wetland plant (OBW) and facultative wetland plant (FACW), were analyzed in the order of 1100 Highland (17.8%), Sumeunmulbaengdui (16.5%), Dongbaekdongsan (14.5%), Mulyeongarioreum (11.3%), and Muljangori-oreum (8.0%). These plant distribution characteristics can be used as basic data for establishing appropriate use, effective conservation, and management measures for wetland protection areas on Jeju-do.
