How the changes were counted
All 41 versions of Annex 1 held by the National Law Information Center were read and entries matched between consecutive versions by Korean and scientific name. Unmatched entries are additions or removals; matched ones were checked for a change of class or name. Renames fall into four classes.
- spelling — only letters or a Latin ending of a name changed
- subgenus — a subgenus in parentheses added or dropped
- nomenclatural — the same unit under another scientific name
- concept — the protected unit itself changed, e.g. a subspecies added or dropped
166 of the 168 additions, removals and class changes announced in the ministry's press releases match this record. The releases do not report renames. In 2012 솜다리 (Leontopodium coreanum) was announced as removed; this record counts it as a concept rename to 한라솜다리.
This record comes from Study 09: tracking 20 years of amendments.
