제주지역에 분포하는 특산식물의 현황을 알아보기 위해 지난 2007년부터 2010년까지 현지조사를 실시하여 44과 75속 63종 17변종 13품종으로 총 93분류군에 대한 자생지 환경, 개체군 동태, 생육특성 및 위협요인 등에 대한 자료를 구축하였다. 이중 세계적으로 제주지역에만 분포하는 제주특산식물은 긴다람쥐꼬리(Huperzi integrifolium) 등 27과 46속 36종 12변종 8품종으로 총 56분류군으로 분석되었으며, 제주도를 포함하여 우리나라에만 분포하는 한국특산식물은 구상나무(Abies koreana) 등 20과 28속 24종 4변종 4품종으로 총 32분류군인 것으로 파악되었다. 그리고 조사대상 특산식물 중 바위좀고사리(Asplenium sarelii var. anogrammoides) 등 5분류군은 분류학적 검토와 함께 특산식물여부에 대한 검토가 필요한 것으로 판단되었다. 그리고 개나리(Forsythia koreana)는 조경용으로 식재된 종이므로 제주지역에 자생지가 확인된 특산식물은 39과 70속 59종 16변종 12품종으로 총 87분류군으로 볼 수 있다. 제주지역의 특산식물은 해안지대에서 확인된 갯겨이삭(Puccinellia coreensis)부터 한라산 정상에서 자라는 한라솜다리(Leontopodium hallaisanense)까지 제주도 전역 분포하고 있으나 종에 따라 서로 다른 분포특성을 보였다. 특히, 한라산 해발 1,400m 이상 아고산대에 집중 분포하는 특성을 보였다. 특산식물의 자생지내 개체군의 동태를 보면 대부분의 식물이 개체수 및 분포범위가 한정되어 있는 것으로 나타났다. 더욱이 지리산오갈피(Eleutherococcus divaricatus var. chiisanensis)는 2개체만이 확인되어 종보전이 시급한 것으로 조사되었고, 한라솜다리, 모데미풀(Megaleranthis saniculifolia), 한라각시둥굴레(Polygonatum humile var. humillimum) 등 상당수의 식물 종이 수십 개체 이내로 매우 적은 개체수를 유지하고 있었다. 제주지역에 분포하는 특산식물은 인위적 또는 자연적 요인으로 인해 많은 자생지 면적감소나 개체수 감소 등의 위협요인을 갖고 있는 것으로 나타났다. 특히, 중산간 이하에 자라는 특산식물은 접근성 등이 용이하여 도채 등의 위험성이 높은 것으로 판단된다. 그리고 한라산국립공원 내에 분포하는 특산식물은 인위적 훼손 위험성은 상대적으로 낮은 편이나 자연적 요인 즉, 식생변화 등으로 인해 자생지 및 개체수 감소가 이루어질 것으로 보여 체계적인 종 보존전략이 마련되어야 할 것으로 판단된다. 한편, 제주지역 특산식물 중 자생지가 확인된 식물 종을 대상으로 근연종 분석 등을 통해 유용성을 분석하면 식물체 일부가 약용으로 가능한 식물 종이 개족도리(Asarum maculatum) 등 전체의 67.1%를 차지하였고, 관상용으로 활용가치가 높은 식물 종은 구상나무(Abies koreana) 등 전체의 60.2%인 것으로 분석되었으나 대부분의 종이 희소성의 가치가 있어 모든 특산식물이 관상용으로 이용가치가 있는 것으로 판단되었다. 제주지역에서 확인된 특산식물 중 전체적으로 90.9%가 유용성이 있는 것으로 나타나고 있으며 아직까지 유용성에 대한 정보가 미흡한 종도 자원적인 연구접근에 따라 다양한 자원으로 활용가치가 있는 것으로 판단된다.

The population dynamics of Salix nipponica and S. koreensis and the sediment factors were investigated in the wetland of the Nam-River. Chinju. Gyongsangnam-do, Korea. Each population of S. nipponica and S. koreensis was divided into four stages during the riverbed sedimentation: the first stage of establishment by S. nipponica, the second stage of coexistence by S, nipponica and S. koreensis, the third stage of dominated by S. koreensis, while S. nipponica was decreased during the increase of the water table in the sediment, and the fourth stage of the climax by S. koreensis, while S. nipponica almost died when the water table was twice to the third stage. Tree height, age, and density of S. nipponica were decreased, while S. koreensis increased along the sedimentation. And the composition of understory species showed no differences in each stage. The water table and the clay content affected on the distribution of Salix spp. in each stage, according to the PCA. The water table and the clay content increased during the sedimentation, while the other factors were almost the same.

To examine the species composition and population fluctuation of butterflies at Mt. Yudal, Mokpo, we collected butterflies from May, 2001 to April, 2002 by dividing the study site into four subyegions. As a result, seven families comprising 40 species were identified. The patterns of population fluctuations at the four subregions showed that the lower the elevation the higher the number of species and individuals. Monthly fluctuations of buttefly species produced an M-shaped curve, whereas those of individuals produced a monotonic curve with a maximum peak during August. To see effectively the changes of numbers of species and individuals, we calculated the indices of species richness and evenness by subregions and months. As a result, both indices fulfilled the primary criterion of independence and showed more or less negative association: when heterogeneity is higher, evenness is lower. Examination of butterfly populations over long-term periods might provide an evidence of global warming and a guideline to conserve and manage habitats.

The herbivorous rotifers community (Brachionus spp.) and population dynamics of the predator rotifer (Asplanchna spp.) in three tributaries (Kumho R., Nam R., and Hwang R.) of the Nakdong River were evaluated on biweekly intervals from Jan. 2001 and Dec. 2002. High abundance of the herbivorous rotifers (peak density: - ca.>1000 Ind. $L^{-1}$) was observed from two tributaries (Kumho R. and Nam R.) during the spring and fall seasons, respectively. The high peaks of herbivorous rotifers were not evident in one tributary (Hwang R.). Among the herbivorous rotifers, brachionid rotifers (Brachionus spp. consisting of 7 species) were the characteristic rotifer community in this study. Brachionus spp. tended to occur together with the other perennial species, Asplanchna. Asplanchna was also present while two species of B. angularis and B. calyciflorus were highest in density. Subsequently, two populations (B. angularis and B. calyciflorus) rapidly declined, becoming rare after high peaks of Asplanchna occurred, except in one tributary (Hwang R.). We found community shifts in rotifer groups in mid-spring and mid-fall at the study site. The Asplanchna population could be appeared to play an important role in regulating the rotifer community and total plankton biomass in spring and fall at high trophic levels.

In this study, ecological characteristics of Zacco platypus population in Lake Hoengseong region, including the up-and downstream in Lake, were investigated from April to November, 2010. The results compared with regional dynamics of Z. platypus population showed a dominant population among the other fish population, and also upstream has relatively high as 1,707 (78.70%) individuals than those of other sites. The regression coefficient (b) in relation to length-weight on Z. platypus population were 3.28 which appeared relatively a stabilized habitat condition in Lake Hoengseong region and 3.28 at the upstream and 3.10 in Lake Hoengseong and 3.09 at the downstream. Condition factor on Z. platypus population in Lake Hoengseong region showed stabilized population as 0.003 value, and especially the condition factors at the upstream were relatively higher than those at the downstream and Lake Hoengseong, indicate that Z. platypus population at the upstream displayed to be maintained as the most good condition in relation to trophic states. As a results of compared with body size on Z. platypus population, was investgated as highly distribute between 30~50mm and 70~90mm at upstream; 60~80mm in Lake Heongseong; 70~100mm at downstream, respectively. As a results, Z. platypus population at the upstream among Lake Hoengseong region displayed the most stabilized growth condition, and Z. platypus population were inhabitable in lotic and lentic environments based on good habitat condition.

This study was conducted to evaluate the effect of the conventional pesticide application system on the rice spider community based on the quantitative investigation of arthropod community in the rice fields in Saran area, Hwasung-si, Kyeonggi-do from 1996 to 1998. Spiders were the highest dominant group comprising over 90% of all natural enemies in their density, and showed very stable yearly occurrence. In these fiekds the mean density of spiders was about 10 individuals/$0.25m^2$ during the rice growing season, and three families including Lycosidae, Tetragnathidae and Linyphiidae were very abundant. The colonization of spiders occurred in early season and they showed rapid density increase in mid-season. They maintained the highest density to the late season and their density decreased at harvest season. In the years of the low rice pest occurrence, the disturbance effect on spider community by pesticides were less. Two dominant species, Pirata subpiraticus and Pachygnatha clerki, had different population dynamics; Pirata subpiraticus showed the rapid density increase in the mid-July, and most of them remained immature stages, however, in the case of Pachygnaths clerki population, they rapidly increased in the late August and most of them remained adult stage during the late growing season.
