Bolboschoenus planiculmis has been acknowledged as a key species in whooper swans (Cygnus cygnus) habitat by providing food for this migratory waterfowl. B. planiculmis wetlands are being degraded by water shortages and salinization caused by anthropogenic activities and climate changes. In 2004, the distribution of B. planiculmis in the tidal flats of the Nakdong Estuary was 2,475,568 m², and in 2021, the distribution area was 798,731 m², which decreased by 32.3%. In order to restore the degraded B. planiculmis wetlands, shoot transplantation and seed sowing were tentatively used in three places with different salinity and water levels. The average density per unit area in September at the optimal growth period after planting were A (fresh water level 50 cm) 58±15.65 m^-2, B (brackish water level 0~5 cm) 188±63.83 m^-2, C (brackish water level 0 cm or less) 188±45.13 m^-2. The tubers were observed as A 0 g dw m^-2, B 25.32±2.94 g dw m^-2, and C 13.39±0.91 g dw m^-2. Tubers were distributed in the soil, with only 3.0% at the 10~20 cm depth but 97.0% at the 0~10 cm depth. In contrast, the germination rate of B. planiculmis seeds was observed to be 0%. Results of this study provide technical support for the restoration of B. planiculmis wetland and the improvement in the quality of whooper swans habitat.

Bolboschoenus planiculmis is an important prey species for winter migratory birds in the Nakdong River Estuary region, but its population has declined in the last decade due to a physio-chemical shift. To identify the growth and development characteristics of B. planiculmis, we carried out an experimental survey on the aboveground and belowground sections of B. planiculmis specimens in the Eulsuk tidal flat from April to September 2019. We divided the belowground area into two groups: a vegetation group in which B. planiculmis exists and a non-vegetation group in which B. planiculmis does not exist and measured the rate of tubers. We observed a 45% appearance frequency in the vegetation group and only a 5% frequency in the non-vegetation group, indicating that there were no supplies for plant growth. The mean density, length, and biomass of B. planiculmis aboveground were 166.90±149.62 n m^-2, 44.39±5.45 cm, and 67.63±54.46 g DW m^-2, respectively, which was approximately half of those obtained from the study in the Eulsuk tidal flat in 2002. Tuber number was the highest in the 15~25 cm deep layer(41.50%). The mean number of total tubers belowground was related to different sediment conditions(FS: flat surface, DS: disturbed surface) 251.75±16.86 n pot^-1 for FS and 171.00±25.18 n pot^-1 for DS, which was significantly different(total tubers: p<0.005). The mean biomass of B. planiculmis above-ground was 21.11±1.60 g DW pot^-1 for FS and 15.41±1.38 g DW pot^-1 for DS, which was significantly different(p<0.05). This research provides primary materials for the restoration of the Nakdong River Estuary, wintering sites for migratory birds, and protection of B. planiculmis.

고랭이류의 숙주식물인 Bolboschoenus planiculmis와 Schoenoplectustriqueter에서 내생균을 조사하였다. 총 25개체의 숙주식물에서 85개의 내생균을 분리하였고, ITS 지역을 사용하여 동정한 결과 19개의 분류군을 확인하였다. 그 중 92%는 Dothideomycetes에 속하였고, 4.8%는 Sordariomyetes, 1.6%는 Agaricomycetes, 0.8%는 Eurotiomycetes에 속하였다. B. planiculmis에서 가장 많이 분리된 내생균은 Cladosporium perangustum이고 S. triqueter에서는 Macrospora scirpicola였다. 염생식물에서 내생균의 연구는 매우 드물며, 이전에 목본식물들을 대상으로 수행된 선행연구들과는 다른 내생균의 군집 구조를 확인하였다. 향후 본 연구결과는 내생균 의 생물다양성 연구에 매우 유용할 것으로 생각된다.

This study analyzed the relationship between distribution of Bolboschoenus planiculmis which is main food source of swans (national monument species) with environmental factors, discharge, rainfall, and salinity in Eulsuk-do from 2020 to 2023. The distribution area of B. planiculmis in Eulsuk tidal flat was 103,672m² in 2020, 95,240 m² in 2021, 88,163 m² in 2022, and 110,879 m² in 2023, and represents a sharp decrease compared to the 400,925 m² area recorded in 2004. From 2020 to 2023, the growth densities of B. planiculmis were 243.6±12.5 m^-2, 135.45±7.38 m^-2, 51.10±2.54 m^-2, and 238.20±16.36 m^-2, respectively, and the biomass was 199.89±28.01 gDW m^-2, 18.57±5.12 gDW m^-2, 6.55±1.12 gDW m^-2, and 153.53±25.43 gDW m^-2 in 2020, 2023, 2021, and 2022, respectively. Based on discharge during May~July, which affects plant growth, the left gate discharge of the estuary barrage from 2020 to 2023 was 62,322 m³ sec^-1, 33,329 m³ sec^-1, 6,810 m³ sec^-1, and 93,641 m³ sec^-1, respectively; rainfall was 1,136 mm, 799 mm, 297 mm, and 993 mm, respectively; and average salinity was 14.7±9.4 psu, 21.1±4.7 psu, 26.1±2.7 psu, and 14.5±11.1 psu, respectively. In 2022, cumulative rainfall (978 mm, about 70% of the 30-year average) and discharge (43,226 m³ sec^-1) decreased sharply, resulting in the highest mean salinity (25.46 psu), and the distribution area, density, and biomass of the B. planiculmis decreased sharply. In 2023, there was a rise in discharge with an increase in rainfall, leading to a decrease in salinity. Consequently, this environmental change facilitated the recovery of B. planiculmis growth.

하구둑과 같은 횡단구조물이 없는 자연 하구인 한강하구는 바다와 하천을 연결하는 생태통로로서 생물종 다양성이 풍부하여 생태 가치가 높다. 한강하구에서는 유사분급이 입체적으로 다양하게 분포하여 기후변화 및 하천개발 등과 같은 여러 변화 요인에 따라 하상구조가 민감하게 변하는 특성이 나타난다. 이러한 현상은 하도육역화와 하도복단면 발달의 원인이 된다. 국가습지보호지역으로 지정된 장항습지에서는 하도 지형변화에 따라 식물천이가 현저하다. 본 연구 목적은 이에 대한 현장 조사를 실시하여 습지형성 기작을 규명하는 데 있다. 조사연구 결과, 인위적으로 조성된 것으로 추정되는 초기의 장항습지가 이후 성장하는 과정에 유량에 따른 하도 미지형 변화와 식물천이 사이에 상호 밀접하게 작용하는 것으로 드러났다. 즉 하상의 주재료(모래)가 아닌 부재(Sub-materials of river bed)인 점성의 표층 하상재료(워시로드 성질의 미세립사)가 선구식물(새섬매자기 등)에 포집되면서 복단면 형태(습지)로 성장하는 데 매개 역할을 한 것으로 나타났다. 습지가 하도복단면 형태로 발달한 후에는 선구식물이 다른 식물종으로 천이되는 양상도 나타났다.
