Abstract

The use of biological indicator for environmental monitoring has suddenly become popular in many international organizations as well as domestic ones. Since the biological indicator species should be well responsive to native environmental change, development of native indicator species is prerequisite for environmental assessment and restoration program. Through regression analysis of mean density and pH, potential indicator species were screened from Namsan and Kwangreung where differential environmental stresses are influenced; Lasiobelba remota, Ceratozetes sp. Tectocepheus velatus, Neogymnobates sp. and Oppia sp.3. Also keystone species in two study area were Lohmannia coreana, Ceratozetes sp., Rostrozetes pulcherrimus, and Lasiobelba remota in Namsan Deciduous forest and Neogymnobates sp., Neogymnobates donghaksaensis, and Cultroribula tridentata in Kwangreung. Advantages and disadvantages of using biological indicator for environmental monitoring were further discussed.

국제 기구뿐만 아니라 우리나라에서도 생물 지표를 이용한 환경 모니터링에 관한 관심이 증대하고 있다. 생물 지표는 자국의 국지환경 변화에 잘 반응해야 하므로, 토착 생물지표의 개발은 생태계 복원 및 평가에서 매우 중요한 시발점이다. 환경 스트레스를 달리 받고 있는 남산과 광릉 활엽수림 지역에서 조사된 날개응애 중에서 토양 및 부엽 산도(pH)와 밀접한 관계를 보이는 종을 회귀분석을 통하여 잠재적 생물 지표종으로 선발하였다. 선발된 종은 다음과 같다; Lasiobelba remota, Ceratozetes sp. Tectocepheus velatus, Neogymnobates sp. and Oppia sp.3. 또한 군집구성 및 기능에 매우 중요한 역할을 하는 핵심종(keystone species)으로는, 남산 활엽수림지역에서는 Lohmannia coreana, Ceratozetes sp., Rostrozetes pulcherrimus, Lasiobelba remota 그리고 광릉지역에서는 Neugymnobates sp., Neogymnobates donghaksaensis, Cultroribula tridentata로 나타났다. 생물지표를 이용한 환경 모니터링의 장단점에 대해 고찰하였다.
