Abstract

The aim of this study was to analyze the seasonal patterns of zooplankton community dynamics in the lower Nakdong River (Mulgum, RK; river kilometer; 27 km from the estuarine barrage), with a Self-Organizing Map (SOM) based on weekly sampled data collected over ten years(1994 ${\sim}$ 2003). It is well known that zooplankton groups had important role in the food web of freshwater ecosystems, however, less attention has been paid to this group compared with other community constituents. A non-linear patterning algorithm of the SOM was applied to discover the relationship among river environments and zooplankton community dynamics. Limnological variables (water temperature, dissolved oxygen, pH , Secchi transparency, turbidity, chlorophyll a, discharge, etc.) were taken into account to implement patterning seasonal changes of zooplankton community structures (consisting of rotifers, cladocerans and copepods). The trained SOM model allocated zooplankton on the map plane with limnological parameters. Three zooplankton groups had high similarities to one another in their changing seasonal patterns, Among the limnological variables, water temporature was highly related to the zooplankton community dynamics (especially for cladocerans). The SOM model illustrated the suppression of zooplankton due to the increased river discharge, particularly in summer. Chlorophyll a concentrations were separated from zooplankton data set on the map plane, which would intimate the herbivorous activity of dominant grazers. This study introduces the zooplankton dynamics associated with limnological parameters using a nonlinear method, and the information will be useful for managing the river ecosystem, with respect to the food web interactions.

본 연구는 지난 10여년간의 (1994 ${\sim}$ 2003) 주간격의 자료를 이용한 자가조직화 지도 (SOM) 방법으로 낙동강 하류역 (물금: 낙동강 하구언으로부터 27 km 상류지점)에서 동물플랑크톤 군집 동태에 대한 계절별 유형화 분석을 하는데 목적이 있다. 담수생태계내의 먹이망에서 동물플랑크톤 군집의 역할은 매우 중요하나, 다른 군집 구성원들과의 비교 연구는 다소 미진하게 진행되었다. 비선형 모형 알고리즘인 SOM을 동물플랑크톤 군집 역동성과 강 환경 인자들과의 상관관계 파악을 위하여 적용하였다. 육수학적 환경 인자 (수온, 용존산소, pH, 세키투명도, 탁도, 클로로필 a 농도, 유량 등) 들을 동물플랑크톤 군집 구조(윤충류, 지각류 및 요각류)의 계절적 변화 유형파악을 위하여 사용하였다. 학습된 SOM 모형은 육수학적 환경인자와 연관 지어 지도상에 동물플랑크톤을 배치되었다. 동물플랑크톤의 주요 세 군집들은 계절별 변화 유형에 있어서 높은 유사성을 가지고 있었다. 다양한 육수학적 환경인자 중, 수온은 동물플랑크톤 군집 역동성과 매우 높은 연관관계를 나타내었다(특히, 지각류). SOM 모형은 여름기간 증가된 강 유량에 의해서 동물플랑크톤을 매우 저해하는 요인으로 표현되었다. 클로로필 a 농도는 우점한 초식성 동물플랑크톤 활성도에 의해 지도상에서 구획되었다. 본 연구는 비선형 방법을 이용한 육수학적 환경요인과 동물플랑크톤 역동성을 연관 지어 소개하였으며, 이러한 정보는 먹이망이라는 관점에서 볼 때, 강 생태계 관리에 유용한 정보로 활용될 것으로 사료된다.
