Abstract

The results of field experiments with mesocosms on Lake Baikal, containing natural plankton assemblage, and laboratory experiments with microcosms containing Daphnia magna and Chlorella vulgaris demonstrated decrease of the structural exergy of the communities after the addition of allochtonous compounds peptone, diesel oil, o-diphenol, $CdCl_2$ to mesocosmsassemblage, phenol, $CoCl_2$ and $CuSO_4$ to micro-cosms. Structural exergy changes were more expressed than changes of components biomasses and total biomass of the community. Comparison of exergy content for benthos in cleanand affected by the discharges of Baikalsk Pulp and Paper Combine also showed sufficient docrease of structural exergy in polluted area. It points to the possibility of the use of structural exergy as ecosystem health reflecting parameter.

러시아의 바이칼 호수에서의 식물성 플랑크톤을 함유한 mesocosm 실험, 물벼룩(Daphnia magna)과 클로렐라(Chlorella vulgaris)를 함유한 microcoms 실험 결과에 따르면 펩톤, 디젤오일, odiphenol 및 $CdCl_2$을 mesocosm에 첨가하였을 때, 또 페놀, $CoCl_2$및 $CuSO_4$를 microcosm에 첨가함에 따라 구조 엑서지 (structrural exergy)가 감소하였다. 오염된 지역의 수계 생태계에서는 각 구성성분의 생물량과 총 생물량의 변화 보다는 구조 엑서지의 변화가 훨씬 컸다. 또, 바이칼 호수 주변의 Baikalsk Pulp and Paper Combine으로부터 나오는 배출수의 영향을 받는 지역과 청정지역의 benthos의 엑서지를 비교해 보면, 오염된 지역에서 군집의 구조 엑서지가 급격히 감소하였다. 이러한 결과는 구조 엑서지가 생태계의 건강성을 반영하는 척도로서 이용될 수 있음을 보여주는 것이다.
