  • Food webs have received global attention as next-generation biomonitoring tools; however, it remains challenging because revealing trophic links between species is costly and laborious. Although a link-extrapolation method utilizing published trophic link data can address this difficulty, it has limitations when applied to construct food webs in domestic streams due to the lack of information on endemic species in global literature. Therefore, this study aimed to develop a link extrapolation-based food web model adapted to Korean stream ecosystems. We considered taxonomic similarity of predation and dominance of generalists in aquatic ecosystems, designing taxonomically higher-level matching methods: family matching for all fish (Family), endemic fish (Family-E), endemic fish playing the role of consumers (Family-EC), and resources (Family-ER). By adding the commonly used genus matching method (Genus) to these four matching methods, a total of five matching methods were used to construct 103 domestic food webs. Predictive power of both individual links and food web indices were evaluated by comparing constructed food webs with corresponding empirical food webs. Results showed that, in both evaluations, proposed methods tended to perform better than Genus in a data-poor environment. In particular, Family-E and Family-EC were the most effective matching methods. Our model addressed domestic data scarcity problems when using a link-extrapolation method. It offers opportunities to understand stream ecosystem food webs and may provide novel insights into biomonitoring.

  • 본 연구에서는 강원도에 존재하는 노천 채굴 방식의 석회석 광산 내부에 존재하는 생태복원지역에 대한 변화 분석 및 모니터링을 수행하고자 고해상도의 다시기 정사영상을 이용하여 식생 분포 지역의 식생 분포 변화 분석을 수행하고자 하였으며, DEM을 이용한 지형의 변화 분석을 수행하였고, 드론 사진측량의 활용성을 검토하고자 하였다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 2014년 항공레이저측량 및 2015년 고정익 드론사진측량으로 제작된 정사영상과 포인트 클라우드를 수집하였다. 또한 2016년 회전익 드론사진측량을 이용하여 정사영상 및 포인트 클라우드를 제작하고, 이를 이용하여 생태복원지역의 변화 분석을 수행하였다. 그 결과 유인 항공측량시스템보다 단시간, 저비용으로 지형공간정보를 생성하고 이를 이용하여 노천광산 생태복원지역의 변화 모니터링 수행이 가능하였다. RGB 정사영상을 활용하여 식생 분포 지역을 추출하는 nEGI 및 VARI를 통해 식생 분포 지역을 추출한 결과 식생 분포 지역이 대상지역의 면적 대비 약 10~30%가 증가하여 생태복원이 원활하게 진행되고 있는 것으로 나타났다. DEM을 이용해 제작된 단면과 복원 계획선을 비교 분석한 결과 드론의 활용으로 제작된 단면과 복원 계획선이 ${\pm}10cm$의 오차로 유사한 형태를 나타냈으며, 토공량 분석이 가능하였다.

  • 국내에서 LM 작물의 재배는 승인 된 바 없으나 식품용 및 사료용으로 LM 작물이 수입되고 있으며 LM 작물의 국내 수입량은 꾸준히 증가하고 있는 추세이다. 본 연구는 2014년 경기 지역의 LM 옥수수 유출여부를 모니터링 하기 위해 수행되었으며 채집된 의심시료는 단백질 검정 분석법과 중합효소 연쇄반응을 통해 분석하였다. 경기 지역의 항만, 운송로, 사료공장 및 축산농가 등 총 169개 지점을 조사하였고 총 44개의 LM 옥수수 의심시료를 채집하였다. 단백질 검정 분석법으로 4개의 양성반응 시료를 확인하였고 동일지점의 시료는 혼합하여 총 3개의 시료에 대해 프로모터 스크리닝과 이벤트 특이적 프라이머를 이용한 중합효소 연쇄반응을 실시하여 의심시료 모두 LM 옥수수로 확인하였다. 본 연구의 결과는 국내 자연환경에서 LM 옥수수의 유출 현황 파악과 자연 생태계로 LM 옥수수의 유출을 예방하기 위해 자연생태계 모니터링이 매우 중요하다는 것을 뒷받침한다.

  • This research is aim to analyze of changing landscape and according to phenological cycle from image information of coastal environment obtained by multi-media were analyzed by camera and satellite image. The digital camera and satellite image were used for tidal flat vegetation monitoring during the construction of Sihwa lake. The vegetation type and phenological cycle of Sihwa tidal flat have been changed with the Sihwa lake ecosystem. The environment changes of Sihwa tidal flat area and ecological change were analyzed by field work digital camera images and satellite images. The airborne, UAV and satellite images were classified with the changed elements of coastal ecological environment and tidal flat vegetation monitoring carried out the changed area and shape of vegetation distribution with time series images.

  • In this research, it is a basic study to investigate the population of birds using UAVs. The research area is Ardeidae species(ASP) habitat and has long-term monitoring. The purpose of the study is to compare the ASP populations which analyzed ground observational survey and UAVs imagery. We used DJI's Mavic pro and Phantom4 for this research. Before investigating the population of ASP, we measured the escape distance by the UAVs, and the escape distances of the two UAVs models were statistically significant. Such a result would be different in UAV size and rotor(rotary wing) noise. The population of ASP who analyzed the ground observation and UAVs imagery count differed greatly. In detail, the population(mean) on the ground observation was 174.9, and the UAVs was 247.1 ~ 249.9. As a result of analyzing the UAVs imagery, These results indicate that the lower the UAVs camera altitude, the higher the ASP population, and the lower the UAVs camera altitude, the higher the resolution of the images and the better the reading of the individual of ASP. And we confirmed analyzed images taken at various altitudes, the individuals of ASP was not statistically significant. This is because the resolution of the phantom was superior to that of mavic pro. Our research is fundamental compared to similar studies. However, long-term monitoring for ASP of South Korea's by ground observation is a barrier of the reliability of the monitoring result. We suggested how to use UAVs which can improve long-term monitoring for ASP habitat.

  • Textile and pigment wastewater samples collected from an industrial complex showed toxic effect on Daphnia magna. For textile wastewater, 48 h acute toxicity of effluent was not detected while toxic unit (TU) of influent was 1.79. The toxicity of influent was completely disappeared by gamma-ray treatment at 10 kGy or by suspended solids (SS) removal. In case of pigment wastewater, both influent and effluent were toxic to D. magna though the effluent satisfied current water quality standards. Gamma-ray treatment had little effect on the toxicity reduction of pigment wastewater since the toxicity was mainly caused by metal ions, in particular, Cr(VI). This work suggests the bioassay technique for monitoring adverse effects of wastewater should be introduced, and also shows the usefulness of gamma-rays as an advanced treatment technique for textile wastewater.

  • Recently, great demands are rising around the globe for monitoring and studying of long-term ecological changes. To go with the stream, many researchers in South Korea have attempted to share and integrate ecological data for practical use. Although some achievements were made in the meantime, we still have to overcome a big obstacle that existing ecological data in South Korea are mostly spread all over the country in various formats of computer files. In this study, we aim to handle the situation by developing a semi-automatic data conversion tool for Korean ecological data standardization, based on some predefined protocols for ecological data collection and management. The current implementation of this tool works on only five species (libythea celtis, spittle bugs, mosquitoes, pinus, and quercus mongolica), helping data managers to quickly and efficiently obtain a standardized format of ecological data from raw collection data. With this tool, the procedure of data conversion is divided into four steps: data file and protocol selection step, species selection step, attribute mapping step, and data standardization step. To find the usability of this tool, we utilized it to conduct the standardization of raw five species data collected from six different observatory sites of Korean National Parks. As a result, we could obtain a common form of standardized data in a relatively short time. With the help of this tool, various ecological data could be easily integrated into the nationwide common platform, providing broad applicability towards solving many issues in ecological and environmental system.
