Abstract

The purpose of this study is to determine the origin of organic matter on sediment at Sindu-ri tidal flat. Grain size, organic matter, C/N ratio and the 13C and δ15N ratio were measured at three stations (Stn. A, B, C) of the tidal flat. As a result, the spatial variation in sediment properties showed that organic matter was related positively to the sediment mud content. Organic matters originating from marine particulate organic matter (marine POM) and fish farm particulate organic matter (fish farm POM) showed sedimentation of organic matters at Stn. A, sandy tidal flat, though terrestial plant (TP) and benthic microalgae (BMA) did at Stn.C, muddy tidal flat. Meanwhile, Stn. B, the intermediate property of Stn. A and C, was affected by marine POM and BMA. Furthermore, it was revealed that the amount and origin of organic matters in the sediments depended on spatial variation, and the factors were different from the stations. Particularly, at the Stn. C, the sediment showed high concentration of TOC in terrestrial organic matter and smaller size particles (< 63 ㎛). These facts suggest the many small size particles and organic matter will affect the sediment environmental condition in the Stn. C.

본 연구의 목적은 신두리 갯벌 퇴적물의 유기물 기원을 추정하는 것이다. 이를 위해 갯벌의 3지점(Stn. A, B, C)에서 입도, 유기물 함량, C/N비 및 탄소와 질소 안정동위원소를 측정하였다. 그 결과, 퇴적물의 공간적 변화에서 유기물은 퇴적물 미립자 함량과 양의 상관관계가 있음을 보여주었다. 모래 갯벌인 지점 A에서는 해양 미립자 유기물(해양 POM)과 어류 양식장 미립자 유기물(어류 양식장 POM)에서 비롯된 유기물의 퇴적 특성을 보였고, 펄 갯벌인 지점 C에서는 육상식물(TP)과 저서미세조류(BMA)의 유기물 퇴적 특성을 보였다. 한편 혼합갯벌인 지점 B에서는 지점 A와 지점 C 중간적인 해양 POM과 저서미세조류의 영향을 받고 있었다. 또한 퇴적물 내 유기물의 양과 기원은 공간적 변화에 의존하며 그 요인은 조사지점간의 차이가 있음을 알 수 있었다. 특히, 지점 C의 퇴적물은 육상유기물과 펄 미립자(< 63 ㎛)로 높은 TOC 농도를 보였다. 이러한 사실은 미립자 함량과 유기물질이 지점 C의 퇴적환경 조건에 영향을 미치는 것으로 사료된다.
