    South Korea has four distinct seasons and is located on the southern half of the Korean Peninsula in East Asia. It has a temperate climate with cold, dry winters and short, hot and humid summers. Despite being relatively poor in natural resources, South Korea was once heavily forested but many trees have been stripped, though reforestation efforts are underway. There are over 4,500 plant species that can thrive in South Korea's climate, including evergreen broad-leaved forests along the southern coast and deciduous forests of oaks, maples and conifers inland.

    South Koreas Nature

    South Korea is located in East Asia, on the southern half of the Korean Peninsula extend
    jutting out from the far east of the Asian land mass. Seoul, one of the largest cities in the world and
    the national capital of South Korea. Seoul is located in the country's northwestern part at the Han
    River, about 30 km east off the coast of the Yellow Sea. There are 9 provinces in South Korea: North
    Chungcheong, South Chungcheong, Gangwon, Gyeonggi, North Gyeongsang, South Gyeongsang,
    North Jeolla, South Jeolla, and Jeju Special Self-Governing Province. Each given provinces have an
    amazing tourist spot. South Korea is relatively poor in natural resources. Once heavily forested, it has
    been largely stripped of trees, especially near urban areas. However, a program of reforestation is
    being carried out. The country's sparse mineral resources include coal, tungsten, iron ore,
    molybdenum, limestone, and graphite.

    South Korea has a temperate climate with four distinct seasons. Winters are usually long, cold
    and dry. Summers are very short, hot, and humid. Spring and autumn are pleasant but also short in
    duration. Seoul's mean temperature in January is -5 degrees Celsius to - 2.5 Celsius (23- 27,5
    Fahrenheit) and in July the mean temperature is about 22.5 C to 25 C (71- 75 Fahrenheit).

    The country generally has enough rainfall, rarely it does less than 75 centimeters of rain fall in
    any given year; for the most part, rainfall is over 100 centimeters. Amounts of precipitation can
    however vary from year to year. Serious droughts occur about once every eight years. About two-
    thirds of the annual precipitation occurs between June and September.

    South Korea is less vulnerable to typhoons than neighboring countries. From one to three
    typhoons can be expected per year. Typhoons usually pass over South Korea in late summer,
    especially in August and bring torrential rains.
    There are animals and plants that lived in South Korea despite of its temperature change The
    long, hot, humid summer is favorable for the development of extensive and varied vegetation. Some
    4,500 plant species are known. Forests once covered about two-thirds of the total land area, but,
    because of fuel needs during the long, cold winter and the countrys high population density, the
    original forest has almost disappeared. Except for evergreen broad-leaved forests in the narrow
    subtropical belt along the southern coast and on Cheju Island, most areas contain deciduous broad-
    leaved and coniferous trees. Typical evergreen broad-leaved species include camellias and camphor
    trees, while deciduous forests include oaks, maples, alders, zelkovas, and birches. Species of pine
    are the most representative in the country; other conifers include spruces, larches, and yews. Among
    indigenous species are the Abeliophyllum distichum (white forsythia or Korean abelia), a shrub of the
    olive family, and the Korean fir (Abies koreana).
