Abstract

The alkaline phosphatase activity (APA) of two dam reservoirs and inflowing streams were measured monthly in 2000. During summer months in 2001, the vertical profiles of APA and related parameters were also examined in one of the reservoirs. The APA was relatively high during the summer season in the epilimnion while it was almost invariable in the hypolimnion. A small increase in APA was observed at just above the bottom. The APA fluctuation was independent of the concentration of soluble reactive phosphorus. It was assumed that APA is not indicative of the phosphorus availability status. An examination of size-fractionated samples suggested that APA in reservoirs was attached to particles larger than $0.4{\mu}m$, whereas in streams it existed in a dissolved form. There was a positive significant correlation between chlorophyll a concentration and APA in the photic zone. In the aphotic zone, APA correlated positively with the colony count of heterotrophic bacteria, but not with microscopic total bacterial counts.

2000년 두 댐 저수지와 유입 하천에서 월별 alkaline phosphatase activity (APA)을 측정하였다. 또한 2001년 여름 동안은 한 댐 저수지에서 APA의 수직변화와 관련된 요인들을 조사하였다. APA는 여름 동안 저수지 표층에서 상대적으로 높게 나타났으나 심층에서는 거의 변화가 없었다. 그러나 바닥층 바로 윗부분에서는 APA의 미미한 증가 관찰되었다. APA변화와 용존무기인 농도 변화와는 상관관계가 없었으며, 이 결과 조사 대상 저수지에서 APA는 인 이용성의 상태를 의미하지는 않는 것으로 추정되었다. 시료의 size-fractionation 분석 결과, 조사 대상 저수지들에서 APA는 $0.4{\mu}m$보다 큰 입자들에 흡착된 반면, 유입 하천에서는 용존형태로 존재하는 것으로 판단되었다. 저수지 유광층에서 엽록소-a의 농도와 APA간에 유의한 양의 상관성이 나타났다. 무광층에서 APA는 세균의 colony count와 양의 상관성을 나타냈으나 총 세균수와는 상관성이 없었다.
