Although <i>Q. mongolica</i> forests have been widely studied in terms of community structure, succession and relationships with environmental factors, large-scale plot-based floristic information focused specifically on stands in which <i>Q. mongolica</i> dominates the canopy layer remains limited. This study aimed to document the vascular flora of pure <i>Q. mongolica</i> stands in Gangwon-do and to provide baseline information for floristic diversity assessment, long-term monitoring and conservation management using plot-level occurrence data. Field surveys were conducted from 2019 to 2023 across 1,098 plots established in representative pure <i>Q. mongolica</i> stands. For each plot, vascular plant occurrence data were compiled and selected environmental characteristics of the plots were summarised. The identified taxa were classified according to taxonomic rank and conservation- and management-related categories, including Korean endemic plant taxa, endangered wild plant taxa, Red List plant taxa, floristic target plant taxa, alien plant taxa and ecosystem-disturbing plant taxa. A total of 594 vascular plant taxa were recorded, comprising 103 families, 288 genera, 539 species, 45 varieties, seven subspecies and three forms. The dataset included 20,906 plot-level occurrence records. The families with the highest numbers of taxa were Asteraceae, Rosaceae, Liliaceae, Ranunculaceae, Poaceae and Fabaceae. The number of taxa per plot ranged from 5 to 55, indicating variation in local taxon richness amongst plots of pure <i>Q. mongolica</i> stands. Conservation- and management-related taxa included 32 Korean endemic taxa, one Class II endangered wild plant taxon, 21 Korean Red List plant taxa, 172 floristic target plant taxa, seven alien plant taxa and two ecosystem-disturbing plant taxa. The floristic target plant taxa consisted of 42 Grade I, 44 Grade II, 57 Grade III, 24 Grade IV and 5 Grade V taxa. In addition, 85 taxa listed on the IUCN Red List were identified. These results show that pure <i>Q. mongolica</i> stands in Gangwon-do contain diverse vascular plant assemblages and may serve as habitats for taxa of conservation and phytogeographical interest.

However, deep-sea exploration programmes are increasingly generating extensive video datasets offering new opportunities to document biodiversity across broad depth ranges. Here, we present the most extensive visual biodiversity inventory assembled from an abyssal-hadal system to date, using imagery collected in the Nova Canton Trough (Central Pacific Ocean), combining observations from 99 baited lander deployments and 16 submersible transects conducted between ~ 3000 m and ~ 8000 m depth. Across more than 1500 hours of lander video and 136 hours of submersible video, ~ 30,000 individual organisms belonging to the kingdoms Animalia and Protista were recorded and grouped into 325 morphotaxa, spanning a wide range of benthic and demersal taxa. The integration of baited and non-baited visual platforms provided complementary observations of mobile scavengers and sessile or low-mobility benthic taxa. Combined observations reveal a depth-structured transition from a diverse abyssal biota through a broad abyssal-hadal transition zone to a distinctive hadal assemblage. Notable findings include the first population of hadal snailfish (&lt;i&gt;Pseudoliparis&lt;/i&gt; sp.) reported outside a subduction trench, high density and diversity of xenophyophores across the depth range and several putative bathymetric range extensions, including first hadal records for several groups within the Animalia and Protista. At phylum level, these include live Brachiopoda and direct observations of protists belonging to the Cercozoa. The orders Corallimorpharia (Phylum Cnidaria, Class Hexacorallia) and Nacromedusae (Phylum Cnidaria, Class Hydrozoa) are extended by over 1200 m, with the former being the first hadal record.

The Nova Canton Trough also differs from most previously studied hadal systems in being a tectonically quiescent fracture zone rather than a subduction trench. This makes it an important reference system for evaluating whether depth-structured faunal zonation is consistent across different geological contexts. Its position in the central Pacific provides another important biogeographic relevance connecting existing hadal studies focused on the north and south Pacific.
