To study the halobacterial diversity at the rhizospheric soil of coastal plant native to Dokdo islands, several host plant were selected and its rhizospheric soil was sampled. Soil sample was diluted serially and pure isolation was done by sub-culture using marine agar media. 26 halophilic strains cultivable at the marine medium containig concentration of 9.0% sodium chloride were selected among total 161 isolates. Their partial 16S rRNA gene sequences extracted from genomic DNA were analyzed and partially identified. Furthermore, to identify their genetic relationship, phylogenetic tree was deduced. Total 26 strains were belongs to Firmicutes (30.8%), Gamma proteobacteria (53.8%), Bacteroidetes (7.7%), Alpha proteobacteria (7.7%), and Actinobacteria (7.7%). These results showed the specific difference from previous researches which has been reported the microbial flora of soil or sea water around the Dokdo islands. Furthermore, 4 among 26 halophilic strains grew at above 12.0% NaCl concentrated marine broth, and 2 strains Idiomarina abyssalis LM4H23 and Halomonas huangheensis AS4H13 grew at 15.0% concentration. These halophilic strains thought to overcoming the severe stress like high salt concentration or variation derived from Dokdo-specific climate and might have unknown, specific relationship with their host coastal plant native to Dokdo islands.

This paper is concerned with the development of a three-dimensional numerical model for coastal circulation and heat transport with improved prediction ability. The model uses fully nonlinear, time-dependent three-dimensional, $\sigma$-transformed equations of motion and equation of heat transport The model was verified with experimental data for wind-driven current in a one-dimensional channel and thermal jets flowing into stagnant waters and applied for unsteady flow induced by tide and thermal jets in coastal waters around Kori nuclear power plant. The model results were in good agreements with experimental data sets for wind-driven current and thermal jet, and field observed data sets in coastal waters. This study has shown that the $\kappa$-$\varepsilon$ turbulence model is applicable to various coastal conditions without any modification of turbulence constants.

Geotextile tube method is the latest application process to construct a variety of civil structures such as river and coastal structures by using geotextile which is a high polymer synthetic fiber. In this paper, laboratory tests and field tests were conducted in order to identify the behavior, stability and application possibility of geotextile tube which prevents the erosion of coastal sand. As a result of large-scale direct shear test, which is one of laboratory tests, the increase in friction angle was shown as the relative density increased, and friction angle of sand/geotextile was larger than that of sand/sand. As a result of field test, the behavior and stability during construction and after construction were identified through measurement, and the effect of preventing erosion was confirmed.

Division of ecoregions having respective functions was attempted through quantitative and qualitative analysis on vegetation diversity, and heterogeneity and on soil environment of the study sites. Field research was carried out in a square of 81 ㎢ around Andongpo (126°38'E, 37°30'N), Kimpo-gun, Kyonggi provice. Conventional methods applied are as follows: classical syntaxonomy by the Zurich-Montpellier School, interpolation method to determine the degree of diversity, heterogeneity and distribution pattern of vegetation, and correlation analysis between soil properties and plant communities. 41 plant communities were identified and composed of 6 forests, 4 mantle and 31 herb communities including 6 saltmarsh plant communities. In a mesh, number of plant communities was highly correlated to the number of species. The highest number of plant community and species was 25 communities·km-2·mesh-1 and 381 species· km-2·mesh-1 ,and the highest value of vegetation heterogeneity was 28.1 species· community-1·mesh-1. Their lowest numbers were 4 communities·km-2·mesh-1. and 28 species·km-2·mesh-1. and 7 species·community-1·mesh-1, respectively. Contour map on vegetation diversity and heterogeneity enabled us to establish two regions; coastal and inland vegetation. Isoline 〔150〕,〔10〕and〔10〕and〔15〕on the species diversity, the community diversity and the vegetation heterogeneity, respectively, were regarded as ecolines in the study area. Cl- content was recognized as the most important factor from correlation analysis between soil properties. Ordination of sites indicated that the study area be divided into two edaphic types: inland and coastal habitats. It was considered that the extent of desalinization in soil played a major role in determining the species composition in the reclamed area. By matching edaphic division of habitats with division of vegetation structures, designation of ecoregion was endorsed. The approach of current study was suggested as an effective tool to implement an assessment of the vegetation dynamics by the disparity of natural environment and anthropogenic interferences.

In total, 140 halotolerant bacterial strains were isolated from both the soil of barren fields and the rhizosphere of six naturally growing halophytic plants in the vicinity of the Yellow Sea, near the city of Incheon in the Republic of Korea. All of these strains were characterized for multiple plant growth promoting traits, such as the production of indole acetic acid (IAA), nitrogen fixation, phosphorus (P) and zinc (Zn) solubilization, thiosulfate ($S_2O_3$) oxidation, the production of ammonia ($NH_3$), and the production of extracellular hydrolytic enzymes such as protease, chitinase, pectinase, cellulase, and lipase under in vitro conditions. From the original 140 strains tested, on the basis of the latter tests for plant growth promotional activity, 36 were selected for further examination. These 36 halotolerant bacterial strains were then tested for 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid (ACC) deaminase activity. Twenty-five of these were found to be positive, and to be exhibiting significantly varying levels of activity. 16S rRNA gene sequencing analyses of the 36 halotolerant strains showed that they belong to 10 different bacterial genera: Bacillus, Brevibacterium, Planococcus, Zhihengliuella, Halomonas, Exiguobacterium, Oceanimonas, Corynebacterium, Arthrobacter, and Micrococcus. Inoculation of the 14 halotolerant bacterial strains to ameliorate salt stress (150 mM NaCl) in canola plants produced an increase in root length of between 5.2% and 47.8%, and dry weight of between 16.2% and 43%, in comparison with the uninoculated positive controls. In particular, three of the bacteria, Brevibacterium epidermidis RS15, Micrococcus yunnanensis RS222, and Bacillus aryabhattai RS341, all showed more than 40% increase in root elongation and dry weight when compared with uninoculated salt-stressed canola seedlings. These results indicate that certain halotolerant bacteria, isolated from coastal soils, have a real potential to enhance plant growth under saline stress, through the reduction of ethylene production via ACC deaminase activity.

Numerical models have been widely used to understand the structure of coastal currents and the transport mechanisms in regard to the fate of pollutants. This study focuses on the development of a three-dimensional model of coastal circulation and mass transport. The model was used to calculate coastal currents and temperature distributions of the thermal plume discharged from a power plant. The model results were compared with field-observed data. They showed the relatively good agreements with the data. The model can be used to estimate the currents and its mass transport in coastal waters.
