Abstract

Scirpus planiculmis dominated in Nakdong river estuary is known as food for birds visiting to Nakdong river estuary and plays an important role in material cycle and food web, while repeating growth and production, decomposition process in 1-year interval. Therefore, if it is able to predict effectively biomass or tuber production of Scirpus planiculmis which is food source for estuarine organisms or birds, it can provide very useful information on the Nakdong river estuary management. In this study, regression equation that can predict the tuber production, food for birds, was obtained using initial density of Scirpus planiculmis that can minimize the disturbance of ecosystem and is faster and easier. The correlation analysis results show that density, biomass and tuber production have liner relationship(p<0.001) with 0.6103~0.9950 of correlation coefficients. In addition, the regression equations have high coefficients of determination of 0.3696~0.7145 and it shows that it is able to predict biomass or tuber production while using the estimated regression equation obtained from relationship among the initial density, biomass and tuber production. The results of this study are expected to utilize effectively the management of estuary ecosystem such as management on food source for migratory birds visiting to Nakdong river estuary.

낙동강 하구에 우점하는 새섬매자기는 낙동강하구를 찾아오는 조류의 중요한 먹이원으로 알려져 있으며 1년을 주기로 성장과 생산, 분해 과정을 반복하면서 낙동강 하구의 물질순환과 먹이사슬에 있어서 중요한 역할을 담당한다. 따라서 하구생물이나 조류의 주요 먹이원인 새섬매자기 생체량이나 괴경생산량을 효과적으로 예측할 수 있다면 낙동강 하구관리에 매우 유용한 정보를 제공할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 생태계의 교란을 최소화 할 수 있으며 보다 빠르고 측정이 용이한 새섬매자기의 초기발생 밀도와 생체량을 이용하여 조류의 먹이인 괴경 생산량을 예측할 수 있는 회귀식을 구하였다. 상관분석 결과, 각 항목간의 상관계수가 0.6103~0.9950로서 조사시기가 다른 새섬매자기의 밀도, 생체량, 괴경 생산량에 있어 선형 관계가 강한 것으로 나타났다(p<0.0001). 또한 각 항목에 대한 회귀분석 결과 나타난 선형회귀식은 0.3696~0.7145의 높은 결정계수를 가짐으로써, 얻어진 추정 회귀식을 이용하여 생체량 또는 괴경생산량을 효과적으로 예측 할 수 있을 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구결과를 이용하여 새섬매자기 군락의 교란이나 훼손을 최소화하며 가능한 빠른 시기에 새섬매자기의 생체량이나 괴경생산량을 예측하여 낙동강 하구를 찾아오는 철새들의 먹이원의 관리 등 하구생태계의 관리에 유용하게 활용될 수 있으리라 기대된다.
