This study is for constructing detailed data to secure biological diversity and maintain a healthy ecosystem in Backsasil Valley Ecological and Scenery Conservation Area, and for preparing an ecological management plan fit for the protected area. The period for this study was from April 2010 to May 2013. Recently, the increase of visitors to Baeksasil Valley, as well as the plantation and dissemination of introduced vegetable species, become factors accelerating ecological disturbance. Major research contents included the reviews of the management system of the protected areas, the necessity of ecological management at the basin level, establishing the system of a management plan, research and analysis of environment ecology, analysis of threatening factors, goal-setting, management strategies, and a plan through SWOT analysis. Survey items were the natural environment, major components of ecosystem, and human-use. The goals of ecological management were basin zone management for amphibians, conservation and restoration of forest vegetation for conservation habitat of Dryocopus martius, conservation habitat of Zelkova serrta for nature landscape, and management of users for environment protection. The conservation management plan at a basin zone level contains the management of point and non-point pollution sources in the upstream, securing growing conditions for native plants, securing safe habitats for amphibians, and securing of habitats for major wild birds. Also, restoration of natural forests, management of native plants and introduced vegetable species, and restoration of degraded forest paths are suggested for the restoration plans.

This study was performed to introduce ecological education program as for reporting the current vegetation state within the remaining trees as ecological golf course and to provide basic data. The survey site was S Golf course, which is located in Woonseodong, Incheon city. Its total area was about $3,298,428m^2$, but the relict forest was about $225,143m^2$. Existing landuse, topological structure, the flora, actual vegetation, and plants community structure survey were performed within the relict forest. As result of comparing and analyzing the existing land use, the relict forest was distributed in the forested areas (89.2%) and around the area (10.8%) which had been bare land and SAMMOK earthen ramparts. There were two courses (Ocean and Hanul) with the relict forests. The ocean course was compared of a natural forest, such as Quercus spp. mixed forest, Quercus acutissima forest, Pinus thunbergii forest within the rock fields, and an artificial forest (Ailanthus altissima-Robinia pseudoacacia forest, Robinia pseudoacacia forest) and Quercus acutissima - Elaeagnus umbellata forest. On the Hanul course, Pinus rigida forest and Robinia pseudoacacia forest were the main vegetation, which were artificial forest. It was the contrast aspect of vegetation species in a natural forest, a restoration forest and an artificial forest, which were Q. spp. mixed forest 26~28 species in a natural forest within the vegetation type per investigation area, 3 Pinus thunbergii forest species, and 5~7 artificial forest species on the Hanul course. Based on these vegetation status, the Ocean course was designed into ecological theme spaces named 'Quercus spp.' indigenous forest, 'Pinus thunbergii' restoration forest and ecological story of 'SAMMOK earthen ramparts'. The Hannul course was designed into an artificial forest observation area of 'Robinia pseudoacacia' and 'Pinus rigida' and a fragrance forest area of 'Robinia pseudoacacia'. At the time of the discussion about the introduction of eco-friendly approval system of golf course, it would be estimated that this survey would work as a major material not only raising awareness of the golf course on the ecological environment but also providing programs that can contribute to the community.

In these days, constructed wetlands are applied in Korea for various purposes ; post-treatment of effluent in wastewater treatment, management of stormwater and restoration of aquatic ecosystems. However, the removal mechanisms for water pollutant in constructed wetlands are not clearly understood because they are affected by climate, influent characteristics and local constraints. Therefore, this paper is focused on the process that the pollutant, especially nitrogen and phosphorus, of the wetland is removed by. In this study, the main nitrogen removal is performed by nitrification/denitrification mechanism in the rhizosphere of constructed wetlands. And the majority of the phosphorus is removed by adsorption on the substrate of wetland. However the fate of phosphorus in wetlands can be diverse depending on the Oxidation Reduction Potential(ORP), adsorption/desorption, precipitation/dissolution, microbial effect, etc.

대서양 청어는 바닷가재 어업에 있어 주요 미끼로서 사용되어지고 있고 해양 생태계내에서 다른 어류들의 먹이로서 중요한 위치를 차지하고 있다. 그러나 해양생태계의 환경적인 요소, 즉 해수면 온도, 플랑크톤량, 서식지 해저퇴적물 상태에 따라 자원이 민감하게 영향을 받는다. 특히 미성어의 단계에서는 낮은 해수 온도에 대해 영향을 받기가 쉽다. 이 연구에서는 인공위성을 이용하여 측정된 해수면 온도와 2년생 가입자원의 상관관계를 분석하였다. 해수면 온도의 측정지역은 대서양 청어의 산란지역으로 한정하였다. 연구 결과 상관계수는 0.69로 나타났고 이는 어업자원의 변동성을 설명함에 있어 환경적인 요인이 중요하게 고려되어야 한다는 것을 의미한다.

It is very difficult to conduct a tracing survey of a forest fire because the affected area is huge and the topology of the mountain defies access of investigators. As a result, remote sensing technique is used to get consecutive information about the range and ecological change of the affected area. Therefore, this study investigates the change of activity condition of vegetation by getting vegetation index, hinted by the fact that activities of plants decline after the fire.

최근 들어 기후변화에 따른 강우패턴이 바뀌고 각종 하천개발이나 토목공사, 농경지, 경작지 등의 객토 등으로 인해 매년 탁수의 발생이 크게 증가하고 있는 추세이다. 특히 여름철 집중강우의 영향에 따라 상류지역 하천에서 발생하는 부유물질은 호수로 유입되어 장기간 체류하며 심각한 오염원으로서 수중생태계에 치명적인 영향을 주고 있다. 또한 하천과 호수의 상류지역의 농경지나 경작지에서 발생된 부유물질에는 과도한 비료의 사용으로 입자표면에 많은 인을 포함하고 있어 호수 수질악화 및 부영양화의 직접적 요인이 되고 있다. 이에 따라 세계 각국에서는 부유물질은 오염원뿐 아니라 생태계에 영향을 주는 인자로서 엄격히 규제하고 있으며, 특히 농업지역이 많은 하천에 대해서는 유역전체를 대상으로 부유물질에 대한 총량관리를 적용하고 있다. 그러나 우리나라의 경우 하천 수질기준 1급수의 부유물질 농도는 25 mg/l 로서 이는 선진국과 유사한 기준이나 실질적으로 규제가 어려운 실정이다. 수환경에서의 부유물질이란 수체 내 존재하는 유기성, 무기성 물질로써 입자 지름이 2mm 이하의 물에 용해되지 않는 물질을 말하는 것으로, 물의 탁도를 유발시키는 원인이 되며 빛을 차단하여 수생태계에 악영향을 초래한다. 국내 132개 하천을 대상으로 부유물질의 농도와 어류의 종 다양성간 상관성을 조사한 결과, 부유물질의 농도가 15 ~ 20 mg/l 이상에서 종 다양도는 1.0 이하로 급감하는 경향을 보였다(최재석 등, 2004). 한편, 대청호는 1975년부터 1980년에 걸쳐 건립된 저수 면적 $72.8km^2$, 저수량 15억톤의 인공호수로 우리나라 3번째 규모의 인공호수이다. 특히, 대전 및 청주지역의 식수는 물론, 생활용수 및 공업용수를 공급하는 중요한 수자원으로서 부유물질에 대한 모니터링 및 관리가 시급하나 저수 용량이 크고 체류시간이 길어 여름철 부영양화가 매년 반복되고 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 부유물질의 농도 변화에 따른 분광반사 특성을 조사하고, 이를 대청호의 Landsat 위성영상에 적용하여 대청호 내 부유물질의 농도변화를 추정하였다. 이와 함께 부유물질 농도 변화에 따른 탁수 환경 모니터링에 원격탐사 기법이 효과적임을 제시하고자 하였다.

Total metals, soluble metals, and bioavailable metals were monitored at the sediments of urban lakes located in Seoul, Korea during spring season 2006. The metals measured were zinc, arsenic, chromium, copper, nickel, and cadmium, which are known to be toxic to human health and ecosystems. The main sources of heavy metals in the lakes were urban runoff and atmospheric deposition associated with air pollution in urban areas. Extraction by using a weak electrolyte solution (0.1 M $Ca(NO_3)_2$) was used to predict bioavailability of the metals. Among the six heavy metals studied, copper was the most bioavailable, based the weak electrolyte extraction techniques. Since metal toxicity is related to metal bioavailability, the results were consistent with the high ecotoxicity of copper, compared to other heavy metals. Overall results suggest that there was no direct relationship between total and bioavailable metal concentration, although zinc, copper and cadmium show some relationships.

최근 우리 나라의 연안은 갯녹음으로 황폐화되고 있으며, 이로 인하여 유용 수산자원이 감소하고 있는 실정이다. 이러한 갯녹음 현상은 서식지 환경요인들이 복합적으로 작용하고 있는 생태계의 변화로 연안의 암반은 산호말류로 피복되며 이들이 죽어서 하얗게 변하는 현상(정치ㆍ추강, 1980)으로서, 해중림과 산호말류 군집이 서로의 극상을 반복하는 생태적 현상으로 설명되기도 한다(중구, 1996). 갯녹음 지역의 유용 해중림 복원과 관련하여 갯녹음의 원인생물로 알려져 있는 포복성 산호조류의 종류와 그 생태를 파악하는 것은 무엇보다 시급한 과제이며 산호조류의 포자방출 패턴은 파악하는 것은 해중림 복원을 위한 효과적인 인공어초 투입의 시기를 결정하는데 중요한 요인이 된다.

This study was supposed to offer vegetation plans for functional improvement of the recreational forest by researching Mt. Chukryong which is located at Oebang-li Sudong-Myon Namyangju Kyong-gi Province in Korea. In this study, artificial vegetation and natural vegetation near trails in recreational forest were researched through biodiversity analysis. From this analysis process, a typical management improvement of the biodiversity functions were examined by reviewing functions biotope condition, vegetation structure and wild bird community condition. Typical vegetation system was divided into four detail parts: Managed artificial Pinus koraiensis forest, Not managed artificial Pinus koraiensis forest, Natural deciduous forest and Not managed deciduous forest. As a result of the vegetation structure, the numerical value of the deciduous forest species diversity was higher than that of artificial Pinus koraiensis, and the numerical value of the managed condition was higher than that of not managed condition. As a result of a habitat structure analysis of the wild bird community, managed Pinus koraiensis forests were inadequate structure for wild birds to habit in there because the forests had weak structure layers, but unmanaged deciduous forest and unmanaged Pinus koraiensis that had diverse layers was proper places for birds to in habit. Thus, based on the functional analysis of biodiversity, management patterns of the target area were concluded in two manners: conserving management and restoring management. Deciduous forest protection target areas included natural deciduous forest area and managed deciduous forest area, ecological restoration target area included unmanaged artificial Pinus koraiensis area and restoring management target area includes managed artificial Pinus koraiensis.
