본 연구는 1) 수변공원에 서식하는 생물상 및 생태현황 조사를 통해 수변공원의 생태적 가치를 평가하고, 2) 조사결과를 기반으로 한 생태교육 및 홍보를 통해 수변공원에 대한 이용 및 비이용객의 생태적 인식 변화를 분석하였다. 수변공원 92개소를 대상으로 생물상 조사를 수행한 결과, 수변공원에서는 멸종위기종 9종(벌매, 붉은배새매, 새호리기, 흰목물 떼새, 삵, 수달, 맹꽁이, 수염풍뎅이, 은줄팔랑나비)을 포함하여 다양한 생물의 서식이 확인되었다. 수변공원은 비록 인간의 이용을 위한 친수적인 성향으로 조성되었지만, 일부 자연성이 높은 지역은 생물서식처로 가치가 높은 것으로 평가되었다. 수변공원에 대한 인식 정도를 평가하기 위해, 금강유역 내 5개 지역(대전, 세종, 청주, 공주, 부여)에서 이용객 현황을 조사하고, 생태교육 및 홍보를 실시하였다. 총 200명을 대상으로 이용객 현황을 조사한 결과, 생태공원에 대한 이용객이 비이용객보다 더 많은 비율을 차지하였으며, 연령별로는 40대가 가장 높은 이용률을 나타냈다. 대전이나 청주 등의 지역에서 수변공원의 이용 빈도는 다른 지역보다 낮은 것으로 조사되었다. 대전이나 청주는 도심구간으로 수변공원 외에도 체육시설이나 카페 등의 여가시설이 상대적으로 많아 수변공원에 대한 의존도가 타 지역보다 낮은 것으로 사료된다. 이용객은 이용대상 수변공원과 실제 거주지간 거리가 가까울수록 이용 빈도가 증가하는 것으로 나타났다. 이는 이용객 대부분이 수변공원을 '생활체육공간'으로 인식하고 있기 때문에 도보가 가능한 거리가 아니면 활용 빈도가 낮은 것으로 보인다. 이러한 수변공원에 대한 인식은 생태교육 및 홍보 후 '보전'적인 측면으로 인식하는 비율이 증가하는 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 인식 변화는 이용객(80%)이 비이용객(38%)보다 더 높은 것으로 분석되었다. 이를 볼 때, 생태교육 및 홍보는 수변공원을 직접적으로 이용하여 특성이나 제원 등에 대한 이해도가 높은 이용객에게 더 효과적인 것으로 판단된다. 결과적으로, 1) 수변공원은 비록 친수적인 성향을 가지고 조성되었으나, 일부 지역은 멸종위기종의 서식하는 등 생물서식처로서 가치가 높은 것으로 평가되며, 2) 이를 볼 때, 수변공원에 대한 인식은 친수적인 성향만이 강조된 부분에서 보전적인 측면으로 강화가 필요할 것으로 사료된다. 이러한 인식 변화는 추후 수변공원에 대한 관리나 정비계획 수립 시 친수와 보전적인 측면이 공존하는 수변공원 조성에 기여할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

In order to prepare a basis for ecological restoration of the Seoul Metropolitan area, ecological diagnoses on soil physico-chemical properties and vegetation structure were carried out. Land use patterns, actual vegetation, and biotope patterns were also investigated based on aerial photograph interpretation and field checks. I formulated landscape elements overlaying those data and evaluated the ecological value of each element. Soil pollution was evaluated by analyzing soil samples collected in each grid on the mesh map, divided by 2km $\times$ 2km intervals. Soil samples were collected in forests or grasslands escaped from direct human interference. Soil pollution evaluated from pH, and SO$_4$, Ca, Mg, and Al contents of soil was more severe in the urban outskirts than in the urban center. Those soil environmental factors showed significant correlation with each other. Vegetation in the urban area was different in species composition from that in suburban areas and showed lower diversity compared with that in the suburban areas. Successional process investigated by population structure of major species also showed a difference. That is, successional trend was normal in suburban areas, but that in urban areas showed a retrogressive pattern. The landscape ecological map of Seoul indicates that the urban center lacks vegetation and greenery space is restricted in urban outskirts. Such an uneven distribution of vegetation has caused a specific urban climate and thereby contributed to aggravation of air and soil pollution, furthermore causing vegetation decline. From this result, it was estimated that such uneven distribution of vegetation functioned as a trigger factor to deteriorate the urban environment. I suggested, therefore, a restoration plan based on landscape ecological principles, which emphasizes connectivity and even distribution of green areas throughout the whole area of the Seoul to solve this complex environmental problem. In this restoration plan, first of all, I decided the priority order for connection of the fragmented greenery spaces based on the distances from the core reserves comprised of green belt and rivers, which play roles as habitats of wildlife as well as for improvement of urban environment. Next, I prepared methods to restore each landscape element included in the paths of green network to be constructed in the future on the bases of such preferential order. Rivers and roads, which hold good connectivity, were chosen as elements to play important roles in constructing green network by linking the fragmented greenery spaces.

Background: This study was conducted from March 2011 to February 2013 in order to evaluate the ecosystem value by examining the organic carbon distribution and cycling in the Quercus glauca forest, evergreen oak community at Seonheul-Gotjawal, Jeju Island. Results: The amount of organic carbon distribution was $124.5ton\;C\;ha^{-1}$ in 2011 and $132.63ton\;C\;ha^{-1}$ in 2012 for aboveground biomass. And it was $31.13ton\;C\;ha^{-1}$ in 2011 and $33.16ton\;C\;ha^{-1}$ in 2012 for belowground biomass. In total, the amount of organic carbon distribution in plants was 155.63 and $165.79ton\;C\;ha^{-1}$ in 2011 and 2012, respectively. In 2011 and 2012 respectively, the amount of organic carbon distribution was 3.61 and $6.39ton\;C\;ha^{-1}$ in the forest floor and it was 78.89 and $100.71ton\;C\;ha^{-1}$ in the soil. As shown, most carbon was distributed in plants. Overall, the amount of organic carbon distribution of the Q. glauca forest was $238.13ton\;C\;ha^{-1}$ in 2011 and $272.89ton\;C\;ha^{-1}$ in 2012. In 2011, the amount of organic carbon fixed in plants through photosynthesis (NPP) was $14.22ton\;C\;ha^{-1}\;year^{-1}$ and the amount of carbon emission of soil respiration was $16.77ton\;C\;ha^{-1}\;year^{-1}$. The net ecosystem production (NEP) absorbed by the Q. glauca forest from the atmosphere was $5ton\;C\;ha^{-1}\;year^{-1}$. Conclusions: The carbon storage value based on such organic carbon distribution was estimated about $23.81mil\;won\;ha^{-1}$ in 2011 and $27.29mil\;won\;ha^{-1}$ in 2012, showing an annual increment of carbon storage value by $3.48mil\;won\;ha^{-1}$. The carbon absorption value based on such NEP was estimated about $500,000won\;ha^{-1}\;year^{-1}$.

한강 하구의 염분 및 생태 환경에 관한 연구를 위하여 기존에 발표된 논문과 국립수산과학원의 국가해양환경측정망 자료를 이용하여 한강 하구의 염분 분포 특성을 구명하였으며, 염분과 연관하여 동식물플랑크톤, 저서생물 및 어류플랑크톤의 분포를 논의하였다. 염분의 시공간적 분포를 고려할 때 인천북항 주변 해역은 계절에 무관하게 연중 한강 유입수의 직접적인 영향을 받고 있으며, 담수 유입량이 많은 하계에는 팔미도 해역까지 담수 영향권이 확대되었다. 반면 해수의 직접적인 영향을 받는 상한선은 한강 본류인 경기도 김포시 고촌면 신곡리의 신곡수중보에 이르며, 해침이 상시적으로 발생하는 수역은 이보다 더 하류인 경기도 김포시 하성면 전류리로 판단된다. 동식물플랑크톤의 분포는 담수 및 해수 지역에서 혼재되어 분포하며, 일반적으로 염분의 분포 범위보다 훨씬 광범위한 분포를 보였다. 그러나 기수성 어류플랑크톤은 매우 제한된 수역에 분포하는 반면, 성어는 그 분포범위가 담수에서 해수에 이르는 광범위한 분포를 보였다. 경험적 분석에 의한 한강하구 환경의 문제점은 1)한강 하구 및 유수지역의 개발 압력에 따른 환경 파괴, 2)갯벌 매립에 의한 조간대 상실, 3)군사용 철책에 의한 육수전이환경(陸水轉移環境)의 생태적 단절이 매우 심각하였다.

Macroecologists and biogeographers continue to predict the distribution of species across space based on the relationship between biotic processes and environmental variables. This approach uses data related to, for example, species abundance or presence/absence, climate, geomorphology, and soils. Researchers have acknowledged in their statistical analyses the importance of accounting for the effects of spatial autocorrelation (SAC), which indicates a degree of dependence between pairs of nearby observations. It has been agreed that residual spatial autocorrelation (rSAC) can have a substantial impact on modeling processes and inferences. However, more attention should be paid to the sources of rSAC and the degree to which rSAC becomes problematic. Here, we review previous studies to identify diverse factors that potentially induce the presence of rSAC in macroecological and biogeographical models. Furthermore, an emphasis is put on the quantification of rSAC by seeking to unveil the magnitude to which the presence of SAC in model residuals becomes detrimental to the modeling process. It turned out that five categories of factors can drive the presence of SAC in model residuals: ecological data and processes, scale and distance, missing variables, sampling design, and assumptions and methodological approaches. Additionally, we noted that more explicit and elaborated discussion of rSAC should be presented in species distribution modeling. Future investigations involving the quantification of rSAC are recommended in order to understand when rSAC can have an adverse effect on the modeling process.

This study was analyzed and investigated to evaluate ecological distribution of medicinal plants in Miho Stream of Korea. Totality 463 taxa of vascular plants were appeared in lower part of Miho Stream. Medicinal plants were distributed 253 taxa, which were 54.6% of the total vascular plants appeared. Medicinal plants of official drug compendium(Korean pharmacopoeia) were 85 taxa. Medicinal plants were distributed most of the forest area, and followed field surrounding, stream surrounding and paddy surrounding respectively. The distribution of life form hemicryptophyte was the most frequent. Plant community of appearing area of medicinal plants was classified into Salix koreensis, Phragmites japonica, Echinochloa crusgalli, Artemisia selengensis, Miscanthus sacchariflorus, Setaria faberii, Panicum dichotomiflorum, Bidens frondosa, Humulus japonicus, Monochoria vaginalis var. plantaginea, Eleocharis kuroguwai, Erigeron acris, Pinus densiflora, Pinus rigida, Quercus acutissima, Quercus serrata, Robinia pseudoacacia and Castanea crenata community. Medicinal plants in plant communities that occur frequently were Humulus japonicus, Corylus heterophylla and Liriope spicata.

Raphanus sativus L. var. hortensis f. raphanistroides (wild radish: Brassicaceae), a herbaceous perennial, occurs only on beaches in East Asia. Genetic diversity and population structure of seven Korean populations were investigated using starch gel electrophoresis. Although the Korean populatins are small, isolated with patchy distribution, the population maintain a moderate level of genetic diversity; the mean percentage fo polymorphic loci was 51.4%, mean number of alleles per locus was 1.84, and mean expected heterozygosity was 0.116. A combination of animal-outcrossing breeding system, wide geographical distribution, restricted ecological distribution, and a propensity for high fecundity may in part be explanatory factors contributing the moderate level of genetic diversity within populations. An overall excess of homozygotes relative to Hardy-Weinberg expetations (mean FISa=0.116) indicates that consanguineous mating occur within wild radish populations, leading to a family structure within a circumscribed area. Although population of wild radish experience a limited gene flow, only 5% of the total genetic variation found in Korean wild radish populations examined is due to differences among populations (mean GST=0.052). This value is considerably lower than the mean values of species with similar life history and ecological characteristics. However, significant differences were found in allele frequencies between populations for all polymorphic loci (P<0.01). It is supposed that directional selection toward genetic uniformity (similar gene frequencies) in a relatively homogenous habitat is thought to be operated among Korean wild radish populations.

Endophytic fungi occupy inner plant tissues, which results in various interactions between the fungus and host. Studies on endophytic fungi have been conducted in Korea for over 30 years. This paper summarizes the published results of those studies. The endophytic fungi of approximately 132 plant species in Korea have been studied since the 1990s, resulting in over 118 publications. The host plants featured in these studies comprised 3 species of mosses, 34 species of woody plants, and 95 species of herbaceous plants. At the family level, the most studied plants were members of the Poaceae family, covering 18 species. Regionally, these studies were conducted throughout Korea, but over half of the studies were conducted in Gyeongsangbuk-do, Gangwon-do, and Chungcheongnam-do. Relatively few studies have been conducted in a metropolis such as Seoul. We confirmed 5 phyla, 16 classes, 49 orders, 135 families, 305 genera, and 855 taxa of endophytic fungi, excluding Incertae sedis, whose relationship with others are unknown. Most of the endophytic fungi belonged to Ascomycota (93.2%), and a few belonged to Basidiomycota (3.6%). Since the diversity of endophytic fungi differs depending on the host plant, plant tissue, and distribution region, future studies should be conducted on multiple host plants and in various regions. Future studies on endophytic fungi are expected to broaden, including genomics and taxonomic and ecological studies of secondary metabolites.

Background: Cakile edentula (Bigelow) Hook. is a successful invader that has been propagating globally. In Korea, Cakile edentula was found in 2008 for the first time, in the east coast of Korean peninsula. Based on site surveys conducted thereafter, Cakile edentula has propagated in the east coast from Goseong to Jeongdongjin, Gangneung and in the west coast of city of Hwaseong of Gyeonggi-do Province, and Taeangun County of Chungcheongnam-do Province. Results: Cakile edentula has infiltrated into four different vegetation communities (syntaxa) (Calystegio soldanellaeSalsoletum komarovii Ohba, Miyawakiet Tx.1967; Elymo-caricetum Kobomugi Miyawaki 1967; Carex pumila; and Calystegia soldanella) belonging to phytosociological classes of saltwort (barilla) and coastal glehnia. Cakile edentula competes with dominant species such as the saltwort (barilla) and beach morning glory, causing qualitative changes in species composition. It also affects local ecosystems through its competition with indigenous species, causing destruction of the traditional landscape. Conclusions: However, competition of Cakile edentula with indigenous species and the resulting replacement of such species are limitedly reported. Potential competitors with Cakile edentula have not been found yet. In Northeast Asia, qualitative changes realized in local ecosystems due to invasion of Cakile edentula are significantly noticeable. These necessitate proper controls for this invasive alien species to protect and preserve coastal dune areas.
