  • Landscape structure, habitat types, vegetation structure and biodiversity in the Bokha stream chosen as a reference stream were investigated to get ecological information necessary for restoration of urban stream degraded by excessive artificial interference. Landscape structure showed a slight change between before and after flooding. Habitat types of nine sorts were identified based on ecological information obtained from field survey such as micro-topography, hydrological characteristics, disturbance regime, and so on. Each habitat holds specific organisms to each site. Consequently, the number of plant communities, and species of benthos and fish increased as the kinds of habitat type increase. Ordination of habitat types based on vegetation, benthos, and fish data reorganized them into three groups of pool types of two kinds depending on whether they are connected to the water course or not and riffle one. Vegetation showed different stratification and species composition depending on topographical position in relation to disturbance cycle. Based on the results from this study, relationship between environmental heterogeneity and biodiversity was discussed and a restoration plan was suggested in a viewpoint of vegetation.

  • The high latitude scleractinian coral Alveopora japonica Eguchi, 1965 occurs in high density in the shallow rocky subtidal in Jeju Island, forming coral carpets. Despite its ecological role providing a unique habitat for other benthic organisms, the benthic fauna associated with the A. japonica coral carpet is poorly known. To identify fauna associated with the coral carpet, we explored three sites dominated by A. japonica and one control site on northwestern Jeju Island in May 2013. Using SCUBA, we collected A. japonica and the epibenthic mega-fauna associated with the colonies in 1×1 m2 and identified them to the species level. At a depth of 10 to 15 m, A. japonica colonies heavily covered the seafloor, forming a layer called a coral carpet, with a density of 94 (Keumneung-ri), 133 (Biyangdo), and 155 (Gwidok-ri) colonies/m2. Thirty-four molluscan species were identified from the four sites, including 20 bivalves and 14 gastropods. The coral carpets were enriched with sessile bivalves compared to the control site, as we identified twenty bivalve and eight gastropod species from the coral carpets. Most bivalve species associated with the coral carpets had tropical-subtropical affinities, while gastropods were mainly subtropical and subtropical-low boreal species. Leiosolenus lischkei M. Huber, 2010, in the family Mytilidae and Barbatia steamsi (Pilsbry, 1895), in the family Arcidae, were the two most abundant bivalve species in the coral carpet, L. lischkei being a borer, and B. stearnsi a nestler. The tropical to subtropical Pacific star shell Astralium haematragum (Menke, 1829)was the most abundant gastropod at the study sites. The bivalves and gastropods associated with the coral carpet were small-sized juveniles or sub-adults, suggesting that the coral carpet provides a micro-habitat for the bivalves and gastropods.

  • Preliminary ecological environmental assessments including physico-chemical constituents, water quality, fish fauna analysis, physical habitat health, and ecological health assessment were conducted as a primary step for Jeungchon micro-habitat ecosystem restoration in 2012. Water chemistry analysis of conductivity, dissolved oxygen, chlorophyll-a and etc. indicated that there were no significant differences(p < 0.05) among 6 sites between the headwaters and downstream. Multi-metric model analysis of Qualitative Habitat Evaluation Index(QHEI) showed that brooklets were at "good condition" as a mean QHEI of 158.7(n = 6) and the longitudinal differences of the model values between the sites were minor(QHEI range: 153 - 165). Total fish species and the number of individuals were 12 and 481, respectively, and dominant species were Zacco platypus(49.5%) and Zacco koreanus(36.8%). Tolerance guild analysis showed that the proportion of sensitive species($S_S$) had a negative linear function[$S_S=86.35-0.31(D_H)$; $R^2$ = 0.892, p < 0.01] with a distance from the headwaters, while the proportion of tolerant species($T_S$) had a positive linear function($R^2$ = 0.950, F = 90.28, p < 0.001) with the distance. Trophic feeding guild analysis showed that the proportion of insectivore species($I_n$) had a negative linear function($R^2$ = 0.934, p < 0.01) with a distance from the headwaters, while the proportion of omnivore species($O_m$) had a positive linear function($R^2$ = 0.958, p < 0.001) with the distance. Index of Biological Integrity(IBI) model, based on fish assemblages, showed a "fair condition" as a mean IBI of 23(n = 6), and there was a distinct differences of ecological health between the headwaters(S1 = 30; "good condition") and the downstreams(S6 = 14; "poor condition"). Overall, the preliminary environmental impact assessments suggest that water quality, physical habitat conditions(QHEI model), and ecological health(IBI model) were maintained well, even if the state was not an excellent conditions.

  • 거미의 건축행동은 유전적 요인의 제한을 받지만 서식지의 다양한 환경 요인을 반영하는 먹이 사냥을 위한 투자 행동이며, 능동적인 의사결정의 반영이다. 본 연구는 긴호랑거미(Argiope bruennichi)를 대상으로 나대지 ('dry field')와 논습지('wet field')에 서식하는 개체가 건축한 웹의 물리적 구조를 정량적으로 측정 비교하였다. 습도 46.4%인 나대지(인천시 천마산)에서 35개체, 습도 73.9%의 논습지(충남 태안군)에서 13개체의 웹 구조가 분석되었다. 상대적으로 습도가 낮고 초본이 우거진 나대지 환경에 건축하는 개체의 경우 논습지 환경과 비교해 더 많은 거미실을 투자해($32.5{\pm}12.8$ vs. $16.9{\pm}5.4$ 개의 나선실 사용), 더 넓은 웹을 건축하였다($976{\pm}643cm^2$ vs. $532{\pm}254cm^2$). 또한 나대지에 서식하는 개체가 논습지 개체에 비해 더 높은 웹을 건축하는 것으로 나타났다($71.4{\pm}39.6cm$ vs. $49.6{\pm}31.2cm$). 흰띠줄 건축행동을 측정한 결과 나대지의 개체가 상대적으로 큰 흰띠줄을 건축하는 것으로 나타났다($18.8{\pm}3.4cm$ vs. $3.9{\pm}3.2cm$). 웹의 기울기를 측정한 수직경사와 동서경사의 경우 나대지와 논습지에서 유의미한 차이를 보이지 않았다. 본 연구 결과는 성체 암컷 긴호랑거미가 환경 요인에 따라 건축행동을 변화시킬 수 있다는 것을 시사한다

  • The eco-hydrologic effects of maintenance water supply on Oncheon stream are studied using hydrologic, hydraulic and ecologic models. SWMM (Storm Water Management Model) is used for long-term simulation of runoff quantity and water quality from Oncheon stream watershed. Using the output hydrologic variables from SWMM, HEC-RAS (River Analysis System) is then used to simulate the hydraulics of water flow through Oncheon stream channels. Such hydrologic, hydraulic and water quality output variables from SWMM and HEC-RAS are served as input data to execute PHABSIM (Physical Habitat Simulation) for the purpose of predicting the micro-habitat conditions in rivers as a function of stream flow and the relative suitability of those conditions to aquatic life. It is observed from the PHABSIM results that the weighted usable area for target fishes has the maximum value at $2m^3/s$ of instream flow. However, mid and down stream areas that have concrete river bed and covered region are unsuitable for fish habitat regardless of instream flow increment. The simulation results indicate that the simple maintenance water supply is limited in its effect to improve the ecological environment in Oncheon stream. Therefore, it is imperative to improve water quality and to recover habitat conditions simultaneously.

  • In order to screen out indicators for the discrimination of ginseng habitat, some physical and chemical characteristics of Korean red ginsengs (94 kinds) and Chinese red ginsengs (50 kinds) were analyzed by using a rheometer, an electronic nose system, a combined technique of solid phase micro-extraction (SPME) and gas chromatograph equipped with an electron capture detector (GC/ECD), an X-ray fluorescence spectrometer (XRF), an inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometer (ICP/MS), a near infrared spectrometer (NIRs) and high performance liquid chromatography equipped with evaporative light scattering detector (HPLC/ELSD). The results are summarized as follows: (i) The rhizome strengths of Korean red ginsengs were significantly higher than those of Chinese red ginsengs. (ii) The electronic nose patterns of Korean red ginsengs were significantly different from those of Chinese red ginsengs. (iii) Some unidentified peaks were detected not in the headspace of Korean red ginsengs but in the headspace of Chinese red ginsengs when the headspace volatiles prepared by the SPME technique were analyzed by GC/ECD. (iv) Either the content ratios of K to Ca or Mn to Fe were significantly different between Korean red ginsengs and Chinese red ginsengs. (v) The reflectance ratios of NIRs wavenumbers such as $904\;cm^{-1}\;to\;1088\;cm^{-1}$ for Korean red ginsengs were significantly different from those for Chinese red ginsengs. (vi) The content ratios of ginsenoside-Rg to ginsenoside-Re of Korean red ginsengs were significantly higher than those of Chinese red ginsengs. These results indicate that the rhizome strength, the electronic nose pattern, the occurrence of ECD-sensitive headspace volatile components, the content ratios of K to Ca and Mn to Fe, the NIRs pattern and the content ratio of ginsenoside-Rg to -Re may be indicators for the discrimination of ginseng habitat.

  • 최근 수입 생산을 목표로 한 산림관리에서 생태계 관리를 목표로 하는 산림관리로 패러다임 전환이 진행되고 있으며, 이에 따라 자연 친화력이 높은 천연갱신법이 근래에 들어 주목을 받고 있다. 본 연구는 소나무림을 대상으로 각종 환경인자와 하층식생, 갱신 치수와의 상관관계를 구명하고자 수행하였다. 조사구의 설치는 선상조사법을 이용하여 총 50개소를 설치하였으며, 조사된 자료를 갱신치수량과 밀접한 관계성을 보인 토양습도에 따라 습지(19개소), 건조지(31개소)로 구분하여 분석하였다. 그 결과, 높은 갱신량을 보인 건조지(157,419본/ha)에서는 졸참나무, 초피나무, 청미래덩굴, 칡 등이 주요 종으로 나타났으며, 낮은 갱신량을 보인 습지(57,895본/ha)에서는 국수나무, 밤나무, 조록싸리, 까치수염, 두릅나무, 때죽나무 등이 주요종으로 나타났다. 치수고와 근원경 발달의 분석결과 습지가 건조지에 비해 생장속도가 빨랐으며, 근원경 대비 수고 생장속도는 건조지가 습지에 비해 빠른 것으로 나타났다. 습지에서 갱신치수는 발아한 후 5년이 경과했을 때 급격한 생장량을 나타내는 것으로 확인되었다. 이는 갱신 치수가 주변 식생과의 경쟁 등 생육환경에 적응할 수 있는 능력을 갖추게 되면 급격한 생장을 이루는 것으로 판단되므로, 습한 지역에서의 천연갱신 시업 초기에는 건조한 지역에 비하여 풀베기 작업 등의 관리를 보다 집약적으로 수행하여야 할 것으로 판단되었다.
