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.

The objective of this study was to introduce the current status and development strategy for an environmental restoration of stream side in Japan, and to consider a methodology which could be effectively applied for the environmental restoration of stream side in Korea. 1. In order to change the recent direction of the forest conservation and erosion control projects which are focused on the restoration of stream side ecology, we have to quit the past erosion control policy such as water control purpose, and establish new plans regarding on the forest conservation and erosion control which is considered the regional environmental restoration of watershed. 2. When we restore stream side and river side ecosystem, we should establish restoration plans which can keep the original nature of stream and river. 3. The forest conservation and erosion control construction projects for the restoration of stream and river ecosystem should be planned for the perfect restoration of their ecosystem by way of sustainable maintenance and management. 4. The restoration direction of stream and river ecosystem needs to be planned to restore the diversity of small geographies such as waterway, shoal and puddles rather than flattening of stream bed. 5. The main principle in the restoration of stream and river ecosystem is to accomplish forest conservation and erosion control construction projects which can conserve the existing stream and river ecosystem.

This study was carried out to introduce current status to discuss erosion control strategy for the conservation of stream valley ecosystem. To restore stream valley ecosystem, we should establish restoration plans to keep the original shape of stream. It is necessary to use environmentally sound materials with conservation of valley stability. Valley construction for erosion control works should be evaluated continuously based on concepts of conservation and development of stream valley ecology. It is categorized in point of the important of class of stream valley conservation ahead planning and constructure. We suggest that the development of stream valley construction needs to prevent mass movement of soil sediments. In addition, it is established the basal strategy to protect macro and micro aquatic organisms in stream valley ecosystem.

청계천 복원공사 전(2003) 중(2004) 후(2005)의 수질과 식물 및 식생모니터링결과 청계천의 수질등급은 공사 전에는 $BOD_5$가 평균 51.1mg/L로서 등급 외이었으나, 공사 후에 한강수와 지하철 역사의 물이 공급되면서 $BOD_5$가 3.3mg/L로 낮아져 수질이 3등급으로 향상되었다. 식물의 경우는 공사 전에 총 121종에서 공사후에 132종으로 다소 증가하였다. 특히 다년초의 비율이 공사 전 24.8%에서 공사 후 35.6%로 증가되었으며, 갈대군락과 잔디군락이 도입식생으로 관찰되었다. 그러나 공사구간은 공사 전 우점 군락이었던 식생보전등급 1인 환삼덩굴과 망초군락이 여전히 우세하여 식물의 생태성은 공사전과 후의 변화가 크지 않았다. 또한 이 같은 조사내용을 비교대상구간과 비교하면 비교대상구간의 수질은 $BOD_5$ 0.8mg/L인 1등급으로 공사구간보다 양호하고, 식물종수도 154종으로 공사구간보다 다양할 뿐 아니라 귀화식물의 비율은 13%로서 공사구간의 28.8%보다 낮았다. 따라서 현재까지는 공사구간이 비교대상구간보다 생태적으로 떨어지는 것으로 평가된다. 그러나 하천복원이란 장기적이며 복합적인 과정으로서 본 연구 에서와 같은 단기조사만으로 복원의 효과성을 논할 수 없으며, 앞으로 장기간에 걸친 다른 주요항목에 대한조사도 병행되어야만 청계천 복원의 효과성을 검증할 수 있을 것이라고 사료된다.

본 연구에서는 불가피하게 훼손될 산림자원과 주변 산림의 자연자원을 이용하여 비오톱이식공법, 산림표토포설, 소경목군락식재 등의 공법을 통해 복원된 식생복원지를 대상으로 복원시공이 완료된 2008년부터 2013년까지 6년에 걸쳐 모니터링을 실시하여 복원효과를 알아보고자 하였다. 복원 유형별 복원효과를 보면, 비오톱이식공법을 사용하여 복원된 지역은 훼손될 산림을 그대로 옮겨 복원한 것으로 복원 직후부터 기존의 자연산림과 가장 유사한 형태를 띠고 있어 단시간 내에 자연산림의 형태를 갖추어야 하는 복원 공사에서 유리할 것으로 판단된다. 산림표토를 이용한 복원은 수목이 성장하여 교목층을 형성하는데 오랜 시간이 걸릴 것으로 예상되나 절개지와 같은 나지상태의 공간을 복원시키기에 높은 효과를 얻을 수 있을 것이라 기대된다. 군락식재는 식재 수목의 크기에 따라 좀 더 짧은 시간 내에 피도를 높일 수도 있으며, 교목층을 형성할 수도 있으므로, 복원지역을 정확히 판단한 후 수목의 크기를 고려하여 이용한다면 높은 효과를 얻을 수 있을 것이라 기대된다. 본 연구는 식생복원 유형별 모니터링 조사를 통해 숲으로의 천이과정에서 나타나는 변화를 관찰하여 식생복원 유형별 자연자원을 이용한 생태복원 효과를 연구했다는데 의의가 있다. 그 결과는 식생복원이 필요한 지역이나 불가피하게 훼손되는 산림자원을 이용할 수 있다는 점에서 활용 및 응용이 가능한 기초자료 역할을 수행할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

Background: In Korea, riparian zones and some floodplains have been converted into agricultural fields and urban areas. However, there are essential for maintaining biodiversity, as they are important ecological spaces. There are also very important spaces for humanity, as they perform various ecosystem services in a changing environment including climate change. Due to the importance of rivers, river restoration projects have been promoted for a long time, but their achievement has been insignificant. Development should be pursued by thoroughly evaluating the success of the restoration project. Ecological restoration is to accelerate succession, a process that a disturbed ecosystem recovers itself, with human assistance. Ecological restoration can be a test bed for testing ecological theories in the field. In this respect, ecological restoration should go beyond a 'simple landscaping exercise' and apply ecological models and theories in restoration practice. Results: The cross-section of the restored stream is far from natural rivers due to its steep slope and artificial material. The vegetation profiles of the restored streams did not reflect the flooding regime of the river. The species composition of the vegetation in the restored stream showed a significant difference from that of the reference stream, and was also different from that of an unrestored urban stream. Although species richness was high and the proportion of exotic species was low in the restored stream, the effect was offset by the high proportion of gardening and landscaping plants or obligate terrestrial plants. Conclusions: Based on both the morphological and ecological characteristics of the river, the restoration effect in the restored stream was evaluated to be very low. In order to solve the problems, a systematic adaptive management plan is urgently required. Furthermore, it is necessary to institutionalize the evaluation of restoration effects for the development of river restoration projects in the future.

The characterization of tree species and forest stand conditions is useful in the planning of activities aimed to conserve biodiversity. The main objective of this study was to describe tree species diversity, species composition and stand structure of tropical deciduous forests distributed in three regions in Myanmar. Forest inventory was conducted in the Oktwin teak bearing forest, the Letpanpin community forest and Alaungdaw Kathapa National Park. According to the Jackknife estimator of species richness, 85 species (${\pm}18.16$), 70 species (${\pm}5.88$) and 186 species (${\pm}17.10$) belonging to 31 families were found in the Oktwin teak bearing forest, 33 families in Letpanpin community forest and 53 families in Alaungdaw Kathapa national park, respectively. Shannon's diversity indices were significantly different among the forests (p<0.05). It ranged from 3.36 to 4.36. Mean tree density (n/ha) of the Oktwin teak bearing forest, Letpanpin community forest and Alaungdaw Kathapa National Park were 488 (${\pm}18.6$), 535 (${\pm}15.6$) and 412 (${\pm}14.1$), while basal areas per hectare were $46.96m^2({\pm}3.23),\;49.01m^2({\pm}5.08)\;and\;60.03m^2({\pm}3.88)$, respectively. At the family level, Verbenaceae, Myrtaceae and Combretaceae occupied the highest importance value index, while at the species level it was Tectona grandis, Lagerstoremia speciosa and Xylia xylocarpa.

Many areas of vegetation in the British uplands have reduced species diversity as a result of sheep overgrazing. It has been suggested that abandonment or re-wilding strategies might be used to reverse this. A likely first step would be the removal or reduction of grazing livestock from upland areas, with a presumption that this would lead to a recovery in species richness. However, we do not know if this would work, or the timescales involved. One of the important areas where more knowledge is needed is information on the size and composition of soil seedbanks as regeneration from zseed is a likely pathway of recovery. Here, we compared seedbanks in both grazed and ungrazed plots in five experiments at Moor House NNR in the northern Pennines; these sheep grazing exclusion experiments were started 52 and 63/64 years ago. Soil samples (n=10) were collected from both grazed and ungrazed plots in each experiment, and seed emergence counted in glasshouse trials. We detected only seeds of common species and very few dicotyledonous species. This suggests that the soil seedbank is unlikely to be a reliable source of the less common species for ecological restoration in these upland communities, suggesting an extinction debt. Therefore, seed addition and the creation of suitable safe-sites for germination may be needed in conjunction with grazing controls to allow the establishment of plants that will increase the species richness of the vegetation. However, this interventionist restoration approach remains to be tested.
