This study aimed to assess the impact of livestock excreta discharged from an Intensive Livestock Farming Area (ILFA) on river water quality during a rainfall event. The Bangcho River, which is one of the 7 tributaries in the Cheongmi River watershed, was the study site. The Cheongmi River watershed is the second largest area for livestock excreta discharge in Korea. Our results clearly showed that, during the rainfall event, the water quality of the Bangcho River was severely deteriorated due to the COD, $NH_4-N$, T-N, $PO_4-P$, T-P, and heavy metals (Cu, Zn, and Mn) in the run-off from nearby farmlands, where the soil comprised composted manure and unmanaged livestock excreta. In addition, stable isotope analysis revealed that most of nitrogen ($NH_4-N$ and $NO_3-N$) in the run-off was from the ammonium and nitrate in the livestock excreta. The values of ${\delta}^{15}N_{NH4}$ and ${\delta}^{15}N_{NO3}$ for the Bangcho River water sample, which was obtained from the downstream of mixing zone for run-off water, were lower than those for the run-off water. This indicates that there were other nitrogen sources upstream river in the river. It was assumed from ${\delta}^{15}N_{NH4}$ and ${\delta}^{15}N_{NO3}$ stable isotope analyses that these other nitrogen sources were naturally occurring soil nitrogen, nitrogen from chemical fertilizers, sewage, and livestock excreta. Therefore, the use of physicochemical characteristics and nitrogen stable isotopes in the water quality impact assessment enabled more effective analysis of nitrogen pollution from an ILFA during rainfall events.

To investigate edge vegetation structure in the Mt. Sokri National Park, field survey was executed in August. 1990 and the result are as follows. Dominant edge species by crown-layer and smilarity of species composition seemed to be affected by existing upper layer vegetation, altitude aspect and physiographical location. and the edge vegetation at summit was severely different with one of the other environmental types. Species diversity of edge vegetation was highest at Northern midslope, lowest at Southern mid-slope. and Acer pseudo-sieboldiamun var. koreanum was appeared as a dominant species at all environmental types. Frequency classes of edge species were different by altitude, aspect, physiographicallocation. Acer pseudo-sieboldiamun var, koreanum, Quercus mongolica, Fraxinus rhynchophylla, Lespedeza maximowiczii, Weigela subsessilis showed high frequency class at all environmental condition.

This research analyzed the acoustic emission signals collected from the pin loading tests and investigated the effect of hygrothermal exposure on the fracture behavior of the pin-jointed carbon fiber/epoxy composites. The composite specimens include: the Base specimen that has not been exposed to any environments, the RT specimen that has been immersed in room temperature water, and the HT specimen that has been immersed in high temperature water. According to the pin loading test, the RT and the HT specimens showed 2.2% and 13% decreases in the bearing strength compared to the Base specimen, respectively. The analysis of the acoustic emission signals showed different fracture acceleration points for three types of the specimens. Furthermore, for the RT and the HT specimens, the event from the matrix crack signals in the composites decreased. This shows the effect of the hygrothermal conditions on the acoustic emission signals. Additionally, upon investigating the fracture behaviors of the pin-jointed composites, the exposing specimens to hygrothermal environments decreases the interfacial characteristics of the composites.

최근 전 지구적인 기후변화 및 온난화의 영향으로 태풍 및 집중호우가 빈번하게 일어나고 있으며, 이로 인한 한천범람 등 홍수재해로 인명 및 재산 피해가 크게 증가하고 있다. 우리나라에서도 태풍 및 집중호우로 인한 호수피해는 매년 발생하고 있으며, 피해 빈도와 강도가 증가하고 있는 실정이다. 이러한 현실을 고려하였을 때에 하천 인근 주민의 생명과 재산을 보호하기 위하여 실시간으로 홍수위 예측을 수행하는 것은 매우 중요하다 할 수 있다. 국내에서 수위예측을 위하여 대표적으로 저류함수모형(Storage Function Model, SFM)을 채택하고 있지만, 유역면적이 작아 홍수 도달시간이 짧은 중소하천에서는 충분한 선행시간과 정확도를 확보하기 어려운 문제점이 있다. 이는 유역면적이 작은 중소하천에서는 유역 및 기상 특성과 관련된 여러 인자 사이의 비선형성이 대하천 유역에 비해 커지는 문제점이 있기 때문이다. 본 연구에서는 위와같은 문제를 해결할 수 있도록, 수문자료와 딥러닝 기법을 적용하여 실시간으로 홍수위를 예측할 수 있는 방법론을 제시하였다. 지난 태풍 및 집중호우로 인하여 급격한 수위상승이 있던 낙동강 지류하천에 대하여 LSTM(Long-Short Term Memory) 모형 기반 실시간 수위예측 모형을 개발하였으며, 선행시간 30~180분 별로 홍수위를 예측하고 관측 수위와 비교함으로써 모형의 적용성을 검증하였다. 선행시간 180분 기준으로 영강 유역 수위예측 결과와 실제 관측치의 평균제곱근 오차는 0.29m, 상관계수는 0.92로 나타났으며, 밀양강 유역의 경우 각각 0.30m, 0.94로 나타났다. 본 연구에서 제시된 딥러닝 기반모형에 10분 단위 실시간 수문자료가 입력된다면, 다음 관측자료가 입력되기 전 홍수예측 결과가 산출되므로 실질적인 홍수예경보체계에 유용하게 사용될 수 있을 것이라 보인다. 모형에 적용할 수 있는 더욱 다양한 수문자료와 매개변수 조정을 통하여 예측결과에 대한 신뢰성을 더욱 높일 수 있다면, 기존의 저류함수모형과 연계하여 홍수대응 능력을 향상시키는데 도움이 될 수 있다.

In order to understand biogeochemical cycles of organic carbon in the permeable intertidal sandy sediments of the Nakdong estuary, we estimated the organic carbon production and consumption rates both in situ and in the laboratory. The Chl-a content of the sediment and the nutrient concentrations in below surface pore water in the sandy sediment were lower than in the muddy sediment. The sediment oxygen consumption rates were relatively high, especially when compared with rates reported from other coastal muddy sediments with higher organic carbon contents. This implied that both the organic carbon degradation and material transport in the sandy sediment were enhanced by advection-related process. The simple mass balance estimation of organic carbon fluxes showed that the major sources of carbon in the sediment would originate from benthic microalgae and detrital organic carbon derived from salt marsh. The daily natural biocatalzed filtration, extrapolated from filtration rates and the total area of the Nakdong estuary, was one order higher than the maximum capability of sewage plants in Busan metropolitan city. This implies that the sandy sediment contributes greatly to biogeochemical purification in the area, and is important for the re-distribution of materials in the coastal environment.

The aim of this study was to examine whether the guideline by the Ministry of Environment (ME) successfully and appropriately applied the IUCN Red List criteria at regional level and the rare and endangered national list considered eligible. A certain number of vascular plants, which are widely distributed in the world or in east Asia, deemed to be ineligible for assessment at a regional level as Not Applicable category (NA), because it occurs at very low numbers in South Korea. Among 377 vascular plant taxa evaluated by the ME, NA included 238 species, which represented 63.1%. The number of synonymized species or illegitimate name species were 13 species, which accounted for 3.4%. 21 species (9.3%) were threatened at global level and 103 species were possibly candidates species list for Red List assessments at regional level in the near future. The proportion of NA or waiting list was 66.6% among the list assessed by the ME. The most common errors involved incorrectly application of species extinction in case of population extinction in South Korea to the assessment and provided incorrect interpretation of the Red List criteria at regional level. The most assessments proposed by ME were not backed up without quantitative data quality, justifications, and sources. It is suggested that the risk of extinction should be reassessed at least in the Korean peninsula within the light of their overall distribution including far eastern Russia and North eastern China in north and for Japan and Taiwan in south for regional assessment. The results obtained here using the IUCN criteria at regional level showed that the list proposed by the ME produced an overestimation of the number of threatened vascular plants. Also, the misapplication of the term 'species extinction' for regional assessment was open to some degree of subjectivity and misinterpretation.

To investigate edge vegetation struxture and species in Odaesan National park, fild survey was excuted July 1-4, 1995 and the results were as follows. Species compasition of edge(0~10m) was dissimilar to that of forest interior(50m~60m) at (Mt.)Odaesan valley. Species diversity indices, number of species, crown coverage and number of individuals were decreased axxording to distance from edge to forest interior. Weigela subsessilis was appeared to be a competitive species at forest edge in temperate forest and edge species appeared only in Odaesan National Park were Clematis heracleaefolia and Spiraea blumei.

법송 방조제 조성지역 매립부 지반의 측방 및 수직변화를 조사하였다. 매립부 지반은 측방 및 수직으로 구성광물과 풍화정도에서 차이를 보여준다 이러한 차이는 기원암의 차이를 반영하는 것으로 편광현미경분석, 주사전자현미경분석, X-선회절분석에서 공통적으로 인지 할 수 있다. 해성점토층의 출현심도는 10m의 일정한 심도로 분포하여 방조제 축조이전 해성층이 수평층이었음을 지시하며 이러한 심도는 매립층의 하한선이 된다. 매립물질의 토색,토성. 풍화도, 구성광물차이에 의한 매립부 지반은 모두 같은 모재를 사용하여 매립되지 않았음을 지시하며 매립물질이 층서구조를 가지고 있는 점은 방조제의 수 차례에 걸쳐 조성되었음을 지시한다. 조사 결과 방조제 코어부와 성토부는 서로 다른 시기에 매립되었을 것으로 추정되며 성토부의 조성은 서로 다른 기원지의 모재를 사용하여 3회 이상에 걸쳐 시행되었음을 의미한다.
