This study is conducted to investigate number of species in various habitat size in the area of urban biotope in Seoul from October to November in 2001 and from May to June in 2002. It is established that habitat size does not significantly affect the number of species in urban biotope. Thirty-two bird species were observed in 54 sites. Thirteen species of birds used sites of up to 1㏊, 29 species from 1 to 10 ㏊, and 8 species in the sites larger than 10㏊. We find that most of species appeared in size (1-10㏊), rather than in size (<1㏊, >10㏊). The cumulative number of species for a given cumulative area was consistently higher when small sites were added first. We think that this habitat size is the actual area to promote number of species within the urban area. Also, there was significant increase of number of species at biotope with water source and multiple vegetation structure. Therefore, if water resources and multiple vegetation structure is maintained, even small area can be helpful to the bird species promotion.

Extensive literature exists on how to estimate optimal thresholds based on various accuracy measures using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) and cumulative accuracy profile (CAP) curves. This paper now proposes an alternative measure to represented the specific partial area under the ROC and CAP curves. The relationship between ROC and CAP functions is examined using differential equations of the new defined partial area under curves. In addition, the relationship with the optimal thresholds under conditions of various accuracy measures for the ROC and CAP functions is also derived. We assume there are two kinds of distribution functions composing the mixed distribution as various normal distributions before finding the optimal thresholds. Corresponding type 1 and 2 errors are also explored and discussed under various conditions for accuracy measures.

This study performed the impact of ecological waterway on fish community in a reach of the Dal River, Korea. Fish monitoring revealed that 9 fish species are dominant, namely Zacco platypus, Coreoleuciscus splendidus, Zacco koreanus, Pungtungia herzi, Acheilognathus yamatsutae, Rhinogobius brunneus, Tanakia signifer, Gobiobotia macrocephala, and Pseudopungtungia tenuicorpus, and account for 95% of the total fish community. The River2D model was used for the computation of the flow and the HSI model for the habitat simulation. The restoration of the waterway performed through the small dam removal, the formation of the pool-riffle structure, and the change of the bed elevation and width. Simulation results indicated that the restoration of the ecological waterway effects significantly increased by about 16% for the WUA (Weighted Usable Area) of the total fish community in optimal ecological flow conditions ($Q=7.0m^3/s$). The restoration of the ecological waterway is more advantageous to fish community.

A mixed forest community of broad-leaved trees in Guryongsan area was studied to determine the adequate number of plots of tree and shrub strata for investigating forest community structure. Fifteen 10m$\times$10m plots were set up in the tree stratum and fifteen 5m$\times$5m plots were set up in the shrub stratum. Species-area curves and performance curves were made from vegetation analysis of the plots. In tree stratum, the minimum number of plots where a given percentage increase in number of plots produced less than the same percentage in number of species was five. In tree stratum, minimum number of plots where a given percentage increase in nuts her of plots produced less than the half of the percentage increase in number of species was ten. In tree stratum, minimum number of plots where the dominant species was distinguished from the subdominant species was four In tree stratum. minimum number of plots where the subdominant species were distinguished from each other was eight. In tree stratum, the difference of species diversity(H') between seven or more plots and total fifteen plots was less than 0.05 Similarity index was more than 80% between aye or more plots and total fifteen plots, and more than 90% between nine or more plots and total fifteen plots. In shrub stratum, the minimum number of plots where a given percentage increase in number of plots produced less than the same percentage in number of species was five . In shrub stratum, the minimum number of plots where a given percentage increase in number of plots produced less than the half of the percentage increase in number of species was twelve. In shrub stratum. minimum number of plots where the dominant species was distinguished from the subdominant species was four. In shrub stratum, the minimum number of plots where the subdominant species were distinguished from each other was thirteen. In shrub stratum, the difference of species diversity(H') between six or more plots and total fifteen plots was less than 0.05. Similarity index was more than 80% between five or more plots and total fifteen plots, and more than 90% between nine or more plots and total fifteen plots. It may be given as a conclusion that adequate number of 10m$\times$10m plots for the tree stratnm was about 5 in general acse and 10 in case of requiring more accuracy, and that the adequate number of 5m$\times$5m plots for ahrub stratum was about 5 in general case and 13 in case of requiring more accuracy.

하천은 과거부터 현재까지 인간의 삶에 있어서 중요한 공간이며 환경적, 생태적으로도 중요한 가치를 지니고 있다. 특히, 하천은 물과 흙으로 이루어져 있기 때문에 수생물이 살아갈 수 있는 독특한 생태 서식처 공간을 제공한다. 국내에서는 1980년대 말부터 하천환경의 개선 및 복원에 대해 관심과 인식을 높이고 공감대를 형성하여 훼손된 하천을 원래 모습으로 되돌리는 사업을 수행하였다. 이러한 하천복원사업이 하천에 서식하는 수생물의 어떠한 영향을 주는지 분석하기 위해 최근에는 다양한 물리서식처 분석이 수행되고 이를 통해 각종 복원계획을 수립하고 있다. 하천복원사업을 통한 생태유량 재산정, 보 철거의 영향, 다양한 복원기법을 통한 수생물에 미치는 영향 파악 등을 들 수 있다. 그러나 이러한 기존 연구들은 하천복원사업으로 인한 수리특성과 수생 서식처의 변화를 살펴보는 간접적인 영향에 대한 내용이었다. 그러나 직접적으로 영향을 미치는 하도의 단면을 재설계하고 다양한 복원기법을 적용하여 그 영향을 파악하는 연구도 수행되어야 할 것으로 판단된다. 본 연구는 수리학적으로 유리한 저수로 물길 조성 및 다양한 저수로 조성기법의 적용을 통해 우점종의 서식처에 미치는 영향에 대해 원주천을 대상으로 물리서식처 분석을 수행하였다. 대상구간은 원주천 중 상류에 위치한 900 m 구간으로, 대상 어종은 원주천의 중 상류에 서식하는 우점종인 참갈겨니를 목표로 하였다. 수리분석과 서식처분석은 각각 River2D 모형과 서식처 적합도 모형을 사용하였다. 서식처 적합도 모형에 사용된 서식처 적합도 곡선은 Gosse (1982)의 방법을 이용하여 구축하였으며, 수심, 유속, 기층을 모두 고려하여 물리 서식처 분석을 수행하였다. 저수로 물길 복원 조성을 위하여 수리학적으로 유리한 저수로 단면으로의 복원 및 거석, 여울/소 구조, 단면의 확폭을 통해 기존 자연형 하천과는 다른 복원을 조성하였다. 수리학적으로 유리한 저수로 물길 복원을 조성한 결과를 이용하여 물리서식처 분석을 수행하였을 때, 기존 자연하천인 현상태 대비 약 37% 가중가용면적이 악화되는 것으로 나타났다. 그러나 수리학적으로 유리한 저수로 단면의 설계 조건에서 거석, 여울/소 구조 및 단면의 확폭의 복원을 수행하였을 때 서식처가 최소 약 3%에서 최대 21%까지 가중가용면적이 향상되었다.

This study was conducted to investigate the changes understory vegetation composition (shrub and herb layers) in Mt. Gyebang as a northern-temperate deciduous broadleaf forest. Tracheophytes were 146 taxa, consisting 56 families, 93 genera, 124 species, 17 varieties, 3 forma, 2 sub-species and 1 unknown taxa in research subject area. As species area curve analysis, herbaceous layer and shrub species have been decreased over time. As a result of Mantel-test, basal area of upper layer affects to understory vegetation change (p<0.0001). Mean importance value was dominated Lindera obtusiloba (21.585%), Rhododendron schlippenbachii (19.774%) in the shrub layer, identified Sasa borealis (14.082%) and Lindera obtusiloba (7.921%) in the herb layer. According to NMS analysis of shrub layer, Species characterized by strong correlation have been reduced as time goes by. And it reports different species as an increasing in basal area of the upper layer. Herb layer plots of the NMS analysis, Rhododendron schlippenbachii and Rhododendron mucronulatum consistently were affected in shrub layer. In consequence of MRPP-test for changes in vegetation composition, It was analyzed that there are no significant differences for vegetation composition changes on shrub layer in 5-10 years. As a changes of vegetation composition on herb layer were analyzed significantly, composition change of herb layer species was larger than shrub layer species in understory vegetation.

댐 운영에 있어서 필요한 수문자료는 강수량, 수위, 유량, 저수량 자료 등이 있다. 이중 저수량은 주로 댐수위-저수용량 곡선식을 이용하여 계산한다. 댐수위-저수용량 곡선식은 댐 부근에서 계측 되는 한 개의 수위자료를 이용하여 저수용량을 산정하며, 이는 큰 저수지 면적과 저수지 수면이 일정하지 않다는 것을 고려할 때 큰 오차가 발생할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 음향 도플러 유속계 ADCP(Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler) 이용하여 보성강댐 저수지 수면경사를 실측하고, 동시에 실시간 이동측위시스템인 RTK-GPS(Real Time Kinematic)를 이용하여 이를 검증하였다. ADCP는 유수의 흐름을 방해하지 않으면서 수중에 발사된 음파의 도플러 효과를 이용하여 유속, 유량 및 측량이 가능한 장비이며, RTK-GPS의 경우 정밀한 위치정보를 가지고 있는 기준국의 위상에 대한 보정치를 실시간으로 이용하여 오차가 ±0.03m 이하인 것으로 알려졌다. 보성강댐의 하류에서 ADCP와 RTK-GPS를 장착한 보트를 저수지 종방향으로 처음부터 끝까지 이동하여 약 7.5km 종단측량을 실시하였고 저수지 지형적 특성을 고려하여 약 700m마다 횡단측량을 실시하여 종방향뿐만 아니라 횡방향 수면차도 조사하였다. 그 결과 보성강댐의 상류로 갈수록 수면경사가 전체적으로 상승하는 경향을 보였지만 일부구간에서 수위가 하강하는 경우도 발생하였다. 이는 미약하지만 저수지 내에 흐름이 발생하고 이 흐름에 따른 통제가 변화되는 것과 중간에 유입되는 지류의 영향 등으로 구간별로 수면경사 차이가 발생하는 것으로 추정된다. 횡방향 수면차는 지류가 유입되는 일부구간에서 다소 차이를 보였지만 큰 영향을 없는 것으로 판단된다. 보성강댐 저수지 수면을 종방향 및 횡방향으로 실측한 결과 구간별로 차이를 보였으며 최대 EL. 126.60m, 최소 EL. 126.33m 나타났다. 댐 상류 부근의 수면높이 EL. 126.50m와 비교하면 +0.10m, -0.17m 차이를 보였으며 이는 저수량 산정에 큰 오차를 발생시킨다. 효과적인 댐 운영을 위해서는 유입량 및 유출량을 정확하게 산정하는 것도 필요하지만 저수량을 정확하게 파악하는 것 역시 필요하다. 저수량을 정확하게 산정하려면 수킬로미터가 넘는 저수지 크기를 고려하여 수면경사를 실시간으로 계측하는 등의 노력이 필요한 것으로 판단된다.

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) that are carcinogenic and persistent will be restricted in consumer products from December 27, 2015 by EU REACH regulation. Pretreatment using Soxhlet extraction and quantitative analysis by GC-MS were studied to develop the method for analyzing 18 PAHs in consumer products as well as to detect the amounts and the kinds of PAHs in consumer products such as grips of a bag and a hammer, a cable and a plastic sandal. Linearity and precisions were evaluated by analyses of the standard PAH solutions ranging from 0.3125 mg/L to 5.00 mg of each of 18 PAHs. Linearity of resulting standard curves for all 18 PAHs were obtained with $R^2$ above 0.999. Precisions of the retention times and the peak areas were found to be 0.00%~0.05% and 1.16%~3.69% of relative standard deviations, respectively. The recoveries for spiked samples were all around 95%~105% after Soxhlet extration using three different solvents such as dichloromethane, hexane and toluene. The limits of quantitation for 18 PAHs in solutions and polymer samples by GC-MS were evaluated to be 0.327 mg/L (Benzo[ghi]perylene)~0.464 mg/L (Acenaphthylene) and 1.635 mg/kg (Benzo[ghi]perylene)~2.32 mg/kg (Acenaphthylene) based upon dilution factor of 5, respectively. Under the developed analytical method, only trace amounts of phenanthrene were detected in three samples while 15 kinds of PAHs including phenanthrene were detected in a grip of hammer with concentrations of maximum 83.4 mg/kg of Phenanthrene and minimum 8.5 mg/kg of Acenaphthylene. Further studies are needed to decrease the quantitation limit and to check the feasibility of decreasing Soxhlet time as well as to demonstrate cases that the clean up is required.

A mixed deciduous forest community in Mt. Sobaek was studied to determine the adequate number of plots of tree stratum for investigating forest community structure. Twenty l0m $\times$ l0m plots were set up iii the studied forest community, and species area curve. performance curve and statistical method were carried out. According to species-area curve, the minimal number of plots where a given percentage increase in number of plots produced less than the same percentage increase in number of species was eight. The minimal number of plots where a given percentage increase in number of plots produced less than the half of the percentage increase in number of plots was eleven. According to performance curve by importance value of the major species, the minimal number of plots where the dominant species was distinguished from the subdominant species was five. The minimal number of plots where the subdominant species was distinguished from each other was ten. Therefore, ten l0m $\times$ l0m plots seems to give an adequate sample for investigating structure of the studied forest community. Similarity index between the ten plots and total twenty plots was above 90%, and 95% confidence interval of species diversity of the ten plots was $\pm$ 0.073.

The purpose of this study is to compare a habitat suitability grid unit included within a radius of 100m and $1km^2,\;2km^2,\;4km^2$ watershed units in order to predict suitable habitats for Chungcheong province's endangered leopard species(Prionailurus bengalensis). Other developed countries have carried out habitat assessment and established management policies for species conservation using such methods as HEP(Habitat Evaluation Procedures), HSI(Habitat Suitability Index) and GAP(Gap Analysis Program), etc. In accordance with these studies, many evaluation methods for habitat conservation have been proposed in Korea, but these studies are lacking in consideration of analytic units and general application of analysis results. This study predicted leopard habitat using a logistic regression analysis according to analytic units by data from 56 location and 8 sources of environmental data, including elevation, slope, forest area, land cover, roads, water, broadleaf trees, and human habitation. Moreover, the habitat suitability assessment unit was confirmed by a model comparison process encompassing model explanation. verification, and application on a regional scale. Results showed that assessment methods that took into consideration areas in and around the location points were beneficial in predicting habitat and that the assessment unit was appropriate for a 30m grid unit including areas within a radius of 100m and a $1km^2$ watershed unit in Chungcheong Province. This study suggests a method for regional habitat conservation to complement existing conservation area selection methods, and the results are expected to be used in conservation area selection and ecosystem management policies for endangered species.
