Benthic diatoms are ubiquitous in tidal flats and play major roles in maintaining coastal ecosystems. Spatio-temporal variations in diatom diversity have not been well-studied, mainly because of difficulties in morphological identification and the lack of appropriate genetic tools. To overcome these problems, we used the gene encoding the ribulose bisphosphate carboxylase large-subunit (rbcL) as a molecular marker, and sequenced these genes with the aid of the MiSeq platform. In this manner, we explored the genetic diversity of benthic diatoms in tidal flats of Guenso Bay on the west coast of Korea; differences in the spatial distributions of benthic diatoms were evident. The diatom communities were dominated by Nitzschia, Navicula, and Amphora; their relative distributions were affected by the sand proportion, grain size, and air exposure time. Our results suggest that meta-barcoding of the rbcL gene and next-generation sequencing can be used to explore the diversity of benthic diatoms.

As United Nation (UN) declared 2010 to be the International Year of Biodiversity, the biodiversity issue has gained much attention since the issue of climate changes. Also, related researches for protecting and conserving the biodiversity are accompanied in the world. In this study, National Ecology Information is obtained from Ministry of Environment and Korea Forest Service and is utilized to valuate biodiversity and ecosystem services in Pyeongchang, Kangwon-do in Korea. For this, they are categorized into direct- or indirect-use value and nonuse value. Research results show that the biodiversity and ecosystem services in Pyeongchang are assessed as 2 trillion and 460 billion won. From this research, we evaluate the economic value of biodiversity and ecosystem services, and also suggest the possibility to utilize them as basic information for a decision making to establish the biodiversity protection plan.

Since the Millennium Ecosystem Assessment Report was published in 2005, the conflict between development and the preservation of the ecological environment has turned to paying attention to value assessments in rational decision-making. In recent years, the concept of ecosystem services has been recognized as a viable one for making significant decisions. However, a trade-off between increase and decrease occurs between the ecosystem services sub-categories (cultural service, regulating service, supporting service, and provisioning service), for which research centering on target sites is needed. To this end, the present study aims to investigate the trade-off relationship between service categories to search for reasonable decision-making strategies. As the research method, a survey was conducted using the translated version of SoIVES(Social Value for Ecosystem Services) 3.0 questionnaire of the United States Geological Survey. The research findings demonstrate the economic value, based on the derived monetary value of each service category, the economic value of the target site was compared among landscape aesthetic value 8,050,000 won, recreation value 6,750,000 won, biodiversity value 4,610,000 won, healing value 3,970,000 won, life-sustaining value 2,090,000 won, and productive value 220,000 won. And then the primarily recognized value criteria of the Tancheon ecosystem services illustrate landscape aesthetic and recreation value. Besides, this study illustrates visualized trade-off relationships based on user perception, and the derived relations illustrate the trade-off relationship between the cultural service, regulating service, supporting service, and provisioning service, as well as relationships between the components of the sub-categories.

환경 복잡성의 증대와 변화의 가속화로 인하여 기업 미래에 대한 불확실성이 높아짐에 따라 정보기술(IT)에 기반을 둔 디지털화의 확산이 단위 기업의 경계를 넘어 기업군 즉, 기업생태계(Business Ecosystem) 또는 산업생태계(Industrial Ecosystem)에 미치는 영향에 대한 관심이 높아지고 있다. 경영 현장에서는 기업 및 산업의 디지털화가 기업 및 산업 생태계의 건강성과 지속성을 높이는 도구로 기대와 주목을 받고 있다. 또한 최근 연구들은 정보기술이 기업군 및 산업 생태계 내에서 정보나 자원의 공유를 용이하게 함으로써 기업 간의 상호교류를 촉진시키는 역할을 한다는 관점에서 정보기술과 기업생태계의 건강성 간의 관계에 관심을 집중하고 있다. 나아가 거시적 관점에서 IT는 기업 간의 상호작용의 수준을 넘어 산업 자체의 구도와 판도에 변화를 초래하고 있는 것으로 인식되고 있다. 그러나 이러한 기업군 및 산업생태계 차원의 변화 현상은 매우 광범위하고 복잡하게 나타나 산업내 다양한 개체들의 상호작용과 의존성을 파악하기에 적합한 분석 방법론이 충분히 개발되지 않고 있다. 본 연구에서는 디지털 변환(Digital Transformation)에 의해 초래되는 기업생태계의 전반적 구조 변화와 진화과정을 분석하기 위한 생태계 매핑(Ecosystem Mapping) 방법론을 단계적으로 개발하고 이를 실제 산업의 분석에 적용함으로써 방법론의 적용 가능성과 디지털 변환이 산업 생태계의 구조변화에 미치는 영향에 대한 분석을 동시에 시도하였다. 특히 본 연구에서는 국내 영화산업을 디지털 변화에 의한 영향을 분석하는 대상으로 선정하였다. 활동사진기의 발명으로 출발한 영화산업은 유성영화, 컬러영화의 등장이라는 산업 혁신의 역사에서 보는 바와 같이 기술의 진보가 산업 생태계의 형성과 변화에 극적인 영향을 미치는 산업으로서 디지털 기술의 도입에 따라 산업 생태계의 구조가 변화하는 현상을 분석하기에 매우 적합한 산업으로 평가되었기 때문이다.

We have studied the Yang-San peatland area to make a conservation plan. Since the peatland has its own unique ecosystem, which provides important resources in studying transformations of ecosystem, vegetation, weather, and many other things, it is not enough to emphasize the importance of preserving this area. Based on our investigation, we propose the followings to preserve the Yang-San peatland area and use in environmentally sustainable manner. First, it should be designated as a Wetland preservation area to make a conservation system between government and citizens. Second, a monitoring system is essential to observe the change of ecosystem and prohibit trespassing. Third, a comprehensive and precise investigation is in need how to restore the ecosystem. Fourth, an educational information about the ecosystem should be provided through pamphlets, postcards, visiting centers etc.

The emergy (spelled with an 'm') concept was introduced to provide a new insight into ecosystem restoration efforts in Korea. The emergy is defined as the available energy of one kind previously required directly and indirectly to make a product or service. It is an effort to evaluate the true contributions of natural resources to our economy. It tries to include both contributions from natures free works and human services to develop and process natural resources. The emergy evaluation can be used to select a restoration alternative that yields more to the economy with less stress to the environment, by comparing different alternatives with indices expressed in emergy. It can also be used to assess the success of ecosystem restoration projects. Pulsing dynamics in which a slow build-up of production is followed by a frenzied consumption in relatively short time period seems to be a general feature of all systems. Any ecosystem restoration effort, therefore, should consider the whole pulsing cycle for a successful implementation.

Changes in ecosystem risks were evaluated using the ecosystem-based fisheries assessment (EBFA) approach of Zhang et al. (2009, 2010) and the comprehensive ecosystem-based fisheries management (EBFM) plan was made for the southern sea of Korea in this study. The risk assessment of the southern sea ecosystem was conducted by establishing ecosystem management objectives and by estimating risk scores (RS) for indicators. To conduct this analysis a number of indicators and their reference points for assessing these risk scores were developed in this study. The number of indicators in the risk analysis was 28 for the quantitative tier 1 analysis and 30 for the qualitative tier 2 analysis. The objective risk index (ORI), species risk index (SRI) and fisheries risk index (FRI) were calculated from the risk scores. Comparing the past (1988) and the current (2008) status of fisheries resources, management implications were discussed. The fishery risk index (FRI) of large purse seine fishery in the southern sea of Korea decreased substantially from 0.972 in 1988 to 0.883 in 2008, and improvement in the management of fisheries operated in the southern sea of Korea.

A study on the ichthyoplankton assemblage was conducted around Dokdo in the East Sea in September 1999 and May 2000. Sixteen species of fish larvae including eggs were collected during the surveys. Anchovy (Engraulis japonicus) eggs and larvae were comprised of 2.0% and 94.5% of total samples in number, respectively. Muller's pearlside (Maurolicus muelleri) eggs and larvae were comprised of 95.0% and 3.2%, respectively. The other species mostly composed of warm water species were less than 2% of total samples in number. The number of species and abundance of the fish lawae and eggs were higher in September than in May. Although there were limited data on the ichthyoplankton around Dokdo in summer and winter, this study area seems to be used for the spawning or nursery ground of fishes.

Oncaea prendeli Shmeleva, 1966 is redescribed here based on a specimen collected using a fine-mesh net in the epipelagic layer in the south sea of Jeju Island, Korea. The Korean specimen is generally similar to Mediterranean specimens in terms of morphological characteristics, but it shows a few minor differences in a slightly larger length-to-width ratio for the distal endopod segment of the antenna, a relatively shorter caudal seta IV, and additional ornamentation on the maxillule and maxilla. This species is distinguishable from the most similar congeneric species, O. tregoubovi Shmeleva, 1968, and three species of the genus Spinoncaea Böttger-Schnack, 2003 by the distal and lateral armature of the antenna, ornamentation on the female maxilliped, spine number on the endopod of leg 2, and proportional length of setae on the caudal ramus. Moreover, spine lengths on the exopods of legs 2-4 are proposed as new morphological characters for the identification of congeners. This is the first record of O. prendeli in Korean waters.

하구는 이질적인 매질인 하천과 바다가 다양한 환경을 조성하고 각 환경에 적응한 생물이 서식하는 공간이다. 하지만 하구의 생태적 가치를 인식하기 이전에 하구둑 건설이나 매립 등으로 대규모 개발사업으로 인해 하구의 면적이 소실되고 하구의 생태환경도 훼손되었다. 한국에는 총 643개 하구가 위치해 있지만 35% 이상이 하구 순환이 원활하지 않은 닫힌하구이다. 2008년 이후 환경부는 "하구수생태계 건강성 조사 및 평가" 사업을 통해 하구 생태계에 관한 지식을 축적하고 하구와 관련된 주요 문제를 해결하기 위해 노력하고 있다. 지난 14년간의 사업을 통해 총 2,097종의 하구 생물을 기록하였고 새롭게 개발된 생물지수를 이용해 각 조사지점의 서식환경을 평가하고 있다. "하구 수생태계 건강성 조사 및 평가" 사업은 장기적으로 수행되는 제도화된 생태조사로 생태계의 변화의 원인과 과정 등을 규명하기는 어렵지만 연간 100여 명 이상의 연구원들이 표준화된 조사지침에 따라 획득한 결과를 엄격히 관리해 하구의 보전과 관리 정책을 수립하는데 필요한 경험적 자료를 제공하고 있다. 제도화된 생태조사의 단점을 보완하기 위해 현재 조사 대상지 중 일부에서는 하구의 오염물 또는 퇴적물과 생물과의 관계를 파악하는 연구를 수행해 하구 생태계의 변화의 원인과 과정을 밝힐 수 있다.
