본 연구는 하천습지의 교란 과정을 근현대 지도와 항공사진을 근거로 분석하고, 왕진지구 주변 수문생태 영향권의 토지피복과 NDVI 변화를 분석하였다. 왕진나루에는 안정된 모래톱이 형성되어 제내지 농경지와 자연스럽게 연결되어 있었으나 대홍수와 제방축조, 경지정리 및 하천종합관리로 모래톱과 하천습지가 소멸된 이후 인위적인 대체습지와 생태공원이 조성되고 하중도 형태의 모래톱이 다시 생성되었다. 수문생태영향권 토지피복 변화는 농업지역의 논·밭이 2013년 36.3%에서 2022년 22.9%로 감소하였는데 면적으로는 814,476m²로 가장 많은 변화가 있는 것으로 나타났다. 시간이 경과됨에 따라 토지피복유형은 초지화가 진행되고 있는 것으로 확인되었다. 식생지수 변화를 계절별 변화를 종합해보면 전반적으로 식생지수의 변화량은 봄철(3월)이 가장 크고, 그다음은 여름철(6월)이며 수역을 제외하고는 가을철(9월)의 변화의 폭이 가장 적은 것으로 나타났다. 토지이용별로는 대체습지에서 39.1% 향상, 하중도 38.2% 향상, 생태공원 44.3% 향상, 농업지역 35.6% 향상, 수역 -8.1% 감소 등 전반적으로 식생지수(NDVI)가 증가되었다.

Yellow bitterns (Ixobrychus sinensis) are a small wetland bird common to Asian countries including South Korea, Japan, and China. The aim of this study is to describe diet of yellow bitterns during the breeding season in artificial wetland of northeastern South Korea between May to August 1999-2001. For the purposes of this paper, we observe the frequency of nest visiting by parents during the chick rearing period. A total of 98 boluses regurgitated by 52 chicks aged 1 day to 11 days after hatching form the sample and are shown to contain 323 food items. A bolus contained mean 3.8 items and weighs 0.2 g to 7.7 g. The most regularly occurring food items recorded are fish (63%) and insets (33%). In terms of fish, top mouth minnows (Pseudorasbora parva) and crucian carps (Carassius auratus) are frequently observed. In terms of insects, there are mosquitoes (Diptera), instars of dragonfly (Libelluidae), damselflies (Coenagrinonidae) and water bugs (Diplonychus japonicus). Yellow bitterns were also shown to feed on bull frogs (Rana catesbeiana), shrimp (Palaemonidae), and spiders (Araneae). The size of fish in a bolus ranged from 15.56 mm to 93.73 mm (mean, 37.08 mm). The amount of food can be observed to increase with the age of chicks (r = 0.279, P = 0.025, N = 64) but parents did not provide larger fish as chicks grew. Parent birds visited nests more frequently when they have a larger brood ($F_{1,21}$ = 14.529, P = 0.001). Our results suggest that fish is the most important prey during the breeding season and that age of chicks is related to amount of diet in yellow bitterns.

Restoration is the process of reducing or reversing damage to an ecosystem so that it can function in its original manner. However, many restoration programs do not achieve this. In the Nakdong Estuary, the largest migratory nesting site in the center of the East Asian-Australasian flyway, an estuarine barrage was constructed in the 1980s that required site restoration following its completion in 1987 and the expansion of several large industrial complexes(Noksan and Jangrim) and a residential development(Myeongji). The goal of the restoration was to restore the function of the wetland to its pre-disturbance state. To achieve this, a restoration program was designed consisting of three stages. The first stage(1993-1995), saw the construction of three artificial wetlands(Shinhori, Daemadeung, and Eulsuk), the second(2003-2005) involved the dredging and returning of farmed lands to their natural state, and the third(2008-2012) focused on the rehabilitation and vegetation development of the wetlands. However, the project has not achieved all of the desired goals, and it is an example of the lapses in ecological restoration following anthropogenic disturbance. Issues that resulted in an incomplete restoration included the timing of the stages, noncompliance with the restoration plan, not directly monitoring the restoration or continuing the monitoring following completion of the development project, and the political subversion of the restoration plan. For the success of the restoration plan, it is necessary to avoid mistakes such as inconsistent monitoring, unequal levels of stakeholder involvement, and political interference.

Vegetation and landscape characteristics at the three highest summits of Republic of Korea, i.e. Seoraksan, Jirisan and Hallasan, are analyzed on the basis of species composition, physiognomy, vegetation distribution and structure of alpine plants, along with landform, geology, soil and habitat conditions. Dominant high mountain plants at three alpine and subalpine belts contain deciduous broadleaved shrub, Rhododendron mucronulatum var. ciliatum (31.6%), and evergreen coniferous small tree, Pinus pumila (26.3%) at Seoraksan, deciduous broadleaved tree, Betula ermanii (35.3%), evergreen coniferous tree, Picea jezoensis (23.5%) at Jirisan, and evergreen coniferous tree, Abies koreana (22.6%), deciduous broadleaved shrub, Rhododendron mucronulatum var. ciliatum, and Juniperus chinensis var. sargentii (19.4%) at Hallasan, respectively. Presence of diverse landscapes at the peak of Seoraksan, such as shrubland, grassland, dry land along with rocky areas, and open land may be the result of hostile local climate and geology. High proportion of grassland and wetland at the top of Jirisan may related to gneiss-based gentle topography and well developed soil deposits, which are beneficial to keep the moisture content high. Occurrence of grassland, shrubland, dry land, conifer vegetation, and rocky area at the summit of Hallasan may due to higher elevation, unique local climate, as well as volcanic origin geology and soil substrates. Presences of diverse boreal plant species with various physiognomy at alpine and subalpine belts, and wide range of landscapes, including rocky, grassland, shrubland, wetland, and conifer woodland, provide decisive clues to understand the natural history of Korea, and can be employed as an relevant environmental indicator of biodiversity and ecosystem stability.

Background: Montane wetlands are unique wetland ecosystems with distinct physicochemical characteristics, and Molinia japonica often makes dominant communities in montane wetlands in South Korea. In order to figure out the environmental characteristics of M. japonica habitats and the major factors for the growth of M. japonica, field surveys were conducted in five wetlands from September to October 2019. Also, soil was collected at every quadrats installed in surveyed wetlands to analyze the physicochemical features. Results: The relative coverage of M. japonica was higher in low latitude wetlands than in high latitude. Redundancy analysis showed that soil water content had the strongest effect on the growth of M. japonica (F = 23.0, p < 0.001). Soil water content, loss on ignition, and relative light intensity showed a high correlation with the density (R = 0.568, 0.550, 0.547, respectively, p < 0.01) and the coverage of M. japonica (R = 0.495, 0.385, 0.514, respectively, p < 0.01). Soil water content, loss on ignition, and pH were highly correlated with each other. Conclusions: Molinia japonica lives in acidic wetlands at high altitude in temperate zone of low latitude, with peat layer placed on the floor. Also, M. japonica prefers open spaces to secure enough light for photosynthesis. High shoot production of M. japonica resulted in adding new peat material in every year, and this layer enforces the environmental characteristics of M. japonica habitats. This study may provide insights for further understanding of the method how wetlands maintain acidic condition by itself in montane wetlands in temperate zone.

This study was conducted as restoration work to improve the discharge in forested wetlands where there is a concern of damage and observed changes in the discharge and groundwater level. The monthly changes showed that during the wet season, the amount of discharge decreased after restoration and GWL increased. It showed that during the dry season, the GWL and discharge increased. The increased discharge after restoration seems to be the difference in the number of days with no rainfall duration. The change in discharge for each unit of rainfall showed a tendency to increase the baseflow and decrease the direct discharge after restoration. The recharge ratio of GWL showed a decreasing tendency as rainfall was higher. After restoration, it showed a higher tendency under rainfall with less than 20mm. It has been confirmed that the restoration implemented by the study caused such an effect as the increased baseflow and increased GWL. It would be an effective restoration method to maintain water resources in forested wetlands. In the initial rainfall, it demonstrated a certain level of effect, but it is necessary to develop a restoration technology that can decrease the amount of water discharged after the end of rainfall or during the period of no rainfall to protect and maintain the forested wetlands. Streamflow should be identified by each type of terrain of wetlands and a proper restoration countermeasure should be devised for the site where the discharge frequently occurs.

In this study, changes in the fluvial landforms of the Yeoju section of the Han River, which was made up of the Han River Restoration Project, were examined through existing previous research data, government's environmental impact assessment data, satellite images, and field observations. For example, In the vicinity of Dori Island, the most upstream part of the study section, the location of the confluence of the Han River and Cheongmi Stream was changed, and it was found that a significant portion of the sand sedimentary layer disappeared. In the Bawuinupgubi area, the wetland, which is the first class in the ecological nature, was greatly modified, and the elevation of the ground rose as Gangcheon island and it was completely separated from the river by dredging The confluence of Geumdangcheon and the point bar of Yeonyang-ri in the south were also dredged, turned into an artificial waterfront park, and a chute channel remained in the form of a wetland was also developed as a recreational park. The deposional forms around Baekseok-ri islands also disappeared as dredging was carried out. Among the areas adjacent to the confluence of Bokcheon and Yangchon-ri Island, some sedimentay forms remains, but the abandonned channel between Yangchon-ri and the northern river bank has been changed into a riverside reservoir through dredging and embankment construction, and the waterway of the tributary river(Yazoo) has been greatly changed.

본 연구는 새롭게 조성되는 도시의 물순환체계를 구축하고, 도시화로 말미암아 증가하는 유출량을 분산 저류함은 물론, 생물다양성을 증진시킬 수 있는 습지의 조성입지와 면적을 확보하는 것에 중점을 두었다. 습지조성 입지선정을 위하여 유역분석에서부터 평가항목 선정, 가중치 산출, 주제도 작성, 종합 등 일련의 과정을 모형으로 정립하였다. 개발된 모형은 수도권에 입지해 있는 위례 신도시 개발예정지역에 적용함으로써 모형의 실행가능성과 한계를 검토하였다. 적용 결과, 유역분석단계 에서는 대상지가 13개의 소유역으로 구분되며, 개발대상지가 포함되는 유역들의 유입량은 $3,020,765m^3$인 것으로 나타났다. 개발 전 후의 유출량을 비교하면 각각 $1,901,969m^3$, $1,970,735{\sim}2,039,502m^3$로써 개발지역에서 확보해야 할 총 저류량은 $68,766{\sim}137,533m^3$로 산출되었다. 습지조성 입지선정단계에서는 각각의 주제도를 중첩한 결과, 13개 소유역별로 습지조성 우선지역이 차등적으로 분류되었다. 유출량을 저류할 수 있는 습지의 입지와 면적을 도출한 결과, 저류형 습지와 하천형 습지, 연못형 습지 등 다양한 유형의 습지조성은 물론 이들의 유기적 연계가 가능한 것으로 판단되었다. 이는 도시 전체의 물순환체계 계획의 기본골격을 제공함으로써 녹지공간과의 통합을 통해 도시생태 네트워크 계획 수립과 같은 공간계획단계에 유용하게 활용될 수 있을 것으로 판단되었다. 그러나 본 연구는 토지이용계획 이전 단계에서 도시화로 인해 예상되는 잠재적인 유출량을 기준으로 습지의 입지와 면적을 산정함에 따라 정확한 저류량의 산정을 위해서는 토지이용계획 이후 환류(feedback)과정이 요구되었으며, 습지의 유형이나 입지적 특성에 따라서 저류량 등 저류능력이 달라질 수 있음에도 불구하고 문헌에서 고찰되는 일반적인 습지 저류량을 모든 습지에 동일하게 적용했다는 점은 본 연구의 한계라 할 수 있다.
