  • DMZ권은 지난 반세기 동안 출입이 통제된 덕분에 다양한 생물종의 서식공간이자 생명벨트로 형성되어 있다. 서부 DMZ권에는 한강 하구와 임진강 유역의 성동 습지와, 장단 습지, 문산 습지, 임진각 습지 및 초평도 습지가 있으며, 이곳에는 멸종위기종 1급인 황새, 노랑부리저어새, 저어새 등 8종과 2급인 큰고니, 개리 등 21종, 황조롱이, 매, 흑두루미 등 천연기념물 22종이 서식하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 서부 DMZ권을 중심으로 현지 조사를 통해 하천환경과 습지 현황을 조사하였다. 임진각 습지는 임진강의 건천화 때문인지, 아님 썰물 때문인지 유량은 그리 많지 않았다. 덕분에 갯벌이 많이 드러나고 재두루미와 개리 등이 눈에 뜨였다. 장단반도는 절반은 농경지, 절반은 갈대 군락지이다. 군락지에는 갈대뿐만 아니라 달뿌리풀, 갯버들도 서식하고 있었다. 농경지에는 재두루미 가족이 섭식하고 있고 임진강에는 기러기 약 2천 이상이 발견되었으며, 고라니도 다수가 조사되었다. 최근에는 136마리가 조사되었다. 초평도의 습지에서는 물새가 탐조되었다. 습지는 생태계의 훌륭한 서식처의 역할을 하며, 수질 개선과 기후 조절 기능도 갖고 있으며, 생태 관광에도 기여를 하고 있음이 밝혀졌다.

  • To provide more natural elements in the harsh urban environment, 'planting trees as urban forests' has been emphasized as having an important role, and trees are expected to be as functional as the trees under more natural conditions in rural areas, and provide people with benefits. To do this, urban forest policies needed a better idea of planting methods and management of trees through the theory of landscape ecology, and also the feedback system according to the evaluation and assessment of urban forests. In this case study, a new principle and assessment indices for the evaluation are applied for the 4 urban forests in two Korean metropolitan cities, Daejeon and Ulsan. The evaluation of Korean urban forest-function as biotope and the assessment for the classification of biotope diversity types are carried out. The AUEM(Adding Up Estimation Matrix) is applied for the analysis of urban forests. Unlikely previous researches on the other Korean metropolitan cities, the size of urban forest has less influence on the vegetation diversity. The most frequent biotope grade is the 3rd grade at Namseon park and Mt. Hamwol, while Mt. Bomun and Mt. Yeompo show the 4th grade. The grades of forest-function as biotope are from 3rd to 5th in which lower than average in forest-function grades. This means that the 4 sites are still not-matured forests and less-functional forests as the urban biotope.

  • The objective of this study is to derive the core habitat of the Kirengeshoma koreana Nakai utilizing Habitat Suitability Index (HSI) and Maximum Entropy (MaxEnt) models. Expert-based models have been criticized for their subjective criteria, while statistical models face difficulties in on-site validation and integration of expert opinions. To address these limitations, both models were employed, and their outcomes were overlaid to derive the core habitat. Five variables were identified through a comprehensive literature review and spatial analysis based on appearance coordinates. The environmental variables encompass vegetation zone, forest type, crown density, annual precipitation, and effective soil depth. Through surveys involving six experts, importance rankings and SI (Suitability Index) scores were established for each variable, subsequently facilitating the creation of an HSI map. Using the same variables, the MaxEnt model was also executed, resulting in a corresponding map, which was merged to construct the definitive core habitat map. Out of 16 observed locations of K. koreana, 15 were situated within the identified core habitat. Furthermore, an area historically known to host K. koreana but not verified in the present, Mt. Yeongchwi, was found to lack a core habitat. These findings suggest that the developed models exhibit a high degree of accuracy and effectively reflect the current ecological landscape.

  • The study of spiders that function as predators in agroecosystem can broaden the understanding of agroecosystems. This study investigated the effect of heterogeneity at different spatial scales on richness and abundance of spiders in upland and paddy fields. We collected 48 samples using pitfall traps at upland and paddy fields, respectively. The total species richness of spiders estimated by sample- and coverage-based rarefaction and extrapolation curves. The total species richness was high in the upland fields at the total study sites, whereas the average species richness per study site was high in the paddy fields. We confirmed that the diversity enhancement of spiders was influenced by the structural complexity of habitat at field-scale, and crop diversity at broader scale.

  • The objective of this study was to reconstruct spatial information using the results of the investigation and evaluation of the health of the living organisms, habitat, and water quality at the investigation points for the aquatic ecosystem health of the Nakdong River basin, to support the rational decision making of the aquatic ecosystem preservation and restoration policies of the Nakdong River basin using spatial analysis techniques, and to present efficient management methods. To analyze the aquatic ecosystem health of the Nakdong River basin, punctiform data were constructed based on the position information of each point with the aquatic ecosystem health investigation and evaluation results of 250 investigation sections. To apply the spatial analysis technique, the data need to be reconstructed into areal data. For this purpose, spatial influence and trends were analyzed using the Kriging interpolation(ArcGIS 10.1, Geostatistical Analysis), and were reconstructed into areal data. To analyze the spatial distribution characteristics of the Nakdong River basin health based on these analytical results, hotspot(Getis-Ord Gi, $G^*_i$), LISA(Local Indicator of Spatial Association), and standard deviational ellipse analyses were used. The hotspot analysis results showed that the hotspot basins of the biotic indices(TDI, BMI, FAI) were the Andong Dam upstream, Wangpicheon, and the Imha Dam basin, and that the health grades of their biotic indices were good. The coldspot basins were Nakdong River Namhae, the Nakdong River mouth, and the Suyeong River basin. The LISA analysis results showed that the exceptional areas were Gahwacheon, the Hapcheon Dam, and the Yeong River upstream basin. These areas had high bio-health indices, but their surrounding basins were low and required management for aquatic ecosystem health. The hotspot basins of the physicochemical factor(BOD) were the Nakdong River downstream basin, Suyeong River, Hoeya River, and the Nakdong River Namhae basin, whereas the coldspot basins were the upstream basins of the Nakdong River tributaries, including Andong Dam, Imha Dam, and Yeong River. The hotspots of the habitat and riverside environment factor(HRI) were different from the hotspots and coldspots of each factor in the LISA analysis results. In general, the habitat and riverside environment of the Nakdong River mainstream and tributaries, including the Nakdong river upstream, Andong Dam, Imha Dam, and the Hapcheon Dam basin, had good health. The coldspot basins of the habitat and riverside environment also showed low health indices of the biotic indices and physicochemical factors, thus requiring management of the habitat and riverside environment. As a result of the time-series analysis with a standard deviation ellipsoid, the areas with good aquatic ecosystem health of the organisms, habitat, and riverside environment showed a tendency to move northward, and the BOD results showed different directions and concentrations by the year of investigation. These aquatic ecosystem health analysis results can provide not only the health management information for each investigation spot but also information for managing the aquatic ecosystem in the catchment unit for the working research staff as well as for the water environment researchers in the future, based on spatial information.

  • In this study we estimated the carrying capacity of the southern intertidal zone of Kanghwa Island to evaluate the habitat quality for Curlews(Far Eastern Curlew Numenius madagascariensis and Eurasian Curlew Numenius arquata). Biomass of the macroinvertebrate(Macrophthalmus japonicus) was estimated by based on the spatial distribution of the sediment grain size using GIS tools. According to our analysis the southern intertidal zone of Kanghwa Island was able to support 11,767 individuals for 153 days in the Spring 2012 and 16,275 individuals for 122 days in the Autumn 2012. The proportion of mean population to the carrying capacity in the Spring and Autumn was 9.4% and 5.9%, respectively. These values are 2.8-6.3% smaller than those of the previous study held in 1993-94. For the conservation of the study area, more research and management is needed. And in further studies, diverse characteristics of the intertidal habitat should be considered in spatial analysis to have a precise estimate of the carrying capacity.

  • This study investigates seasonal variation and spatial distribution of meiobenthic community of Gamak Bay (one of the major bays of southern coastal area of Korea). Total of 6 surveys of 10 stations took place, once in February, June and October of 2009 and through 2010. Community structure, taxon diversity (H') and nematodes/copepods ratio of meiobenthos were studied in Gamak Bay. During the study period, nematodes and harpacticoids were the most dominant taxa among the meiofaunal groups in Gamak Bay. Taxon diversity (H') was the highest at the outer stations and the lowest at the inner stations in the Gamak Bay. The nematodes/copepods ratio was seasonally studied as an index of pollution monitoring for the benthic ecosystem at each station. As a result, nematodes/copepods ratio was the highest at the inner stations and the lowest at the outer stations in Gamak Bay.

  • 최근 경제발전과 산업화를 통한 도시화로 인하여 많은 자연하천이 심하게 훼손되고 있으며 도시하천의 경우 치수의 효율성을 강조한 하천정비를 실시함으로써 하천의 외경은 깨끗하게 바꾸어 놓았지만 그로 인한 하천생태계의 파괴가 문제점으로 대두되고 있다. 이에 따라 생태적으로 훼손된 하천의 생태복원이 최근 들어 활발히 추진되고 있으며 하천변의 식물 및 어류 등 다양한 생물에 대한 서식공간의 마련이 주요 이슈로 연구되어지고 있다. 본 연구에서는 2차원 수리서식모형인 River2D를 대표적인 도시하천인 대전천에 적용하여 대전천의 멸종위기에 처해 있는 감돌고기 및 우점종인 피라미를 대상으로 대상 어류의 서식처 제공을 위한 수리학적 분석을 시도하였다. 또한 자연친화적 서식처 개선 공법으로서 거석을 하도 내에 배치함에 따른 가중가용면적의 변화를 비교 검토하였으며 감돌고기를 위한 최적의 서식처 개선 방안을 제시하였다. 현재 상태의 대상하천에 대한 어류서식처를 모의분석한 결과, 현재 직선화되고 단조로운 하천흐름은 피라미의 서식환경에 적합한 것으로 나타났으며 가중가용면적의 경우 감돌기에 비하여 피라미가 약 20배정도 크게 나타났다. 어류서식처 조성공법의 WUA를 산정한 결과 V형 여울공법이 감돌고기의 서식환경을 360%, 징검다리 거석공법이 60%, 외톨이 거석공법이 8%이상 상승시키는 것으로 나타났다. 반면, 거석(Boulder)을 적절히 배치하여 서식처를 개선하는 방법의 경우에도 거석간 간격을 3.5m로 하여 배치하는 경우가 가장 효율적인 것으로 나타났으며 거석을 이용한 여러 가지의 배치형태 중에서 수류를 중앙으로 집중시켰을 때 감돌고기의 서식처가 급격하게 상승하는 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 하도 내 거석의 배치시 하도 및 대상어종의 특성을 고려하여 적절한 배치간격 및 배치방법을 연구하여 시행되어야 할 것이다.
