The effects of salmon carcasses on forest and stream ecosystems were determined by nitrogen stable isotope analysis in natural streams in Hokkaido, Northern Japan, where numerous chum salmon (Oncoryhncus keta) were migrated upstream ITom ocean to spawn in autumn. The leaves and soils surrounding riparian forest and stream dwelling invertebrates were collected before and after migration. The nitrogen stable isotope ratio $({\delta}^{15}N)$ of riparian vegetation (Salix spp.) were different depending on the presence of salmon and distance from the stream. The $({\delta}^{15}N)$ of stream dwelling invertebrates were different between salmon present and absent stream. This difference was tested using the experiment channel by implanting salmon carcasses. The nitrogen stable isotope ratio of epilithic algae and leaf shredding animals were nearly 3 higher in the salmon implanted treatment suggesting that around 20％ of salmon derived nitrogen was uptake either in algae and leaf shredding invertebrates. These results suggest that the salmon carcasses effects not only on stream primary production but also on primary consumers, which decompose leaves fertilized with nitrogen from carcasses.

삼천포천은 제방을 따라 제내지에 인공구조물이 설치되어 있으며, 하상구조가 인간활동으로 교란되어 있다. 본 연구결과 부착조류와 저서성 무척추동물의 생물다양성이 여타 하천에 비해 낮은 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 생태하천 복원 시 제방의 제외지와 제내지를 동시에 친환경적으로 복원을 고려함으로써 생물다양성 증대를 도모하고 하상 복원 등을 통해 회유성 어류들이 하천생태계로 유입되어 생태계의 안정성 및 건강성을 회복해야 할 필요가 있다(Palmer et al., 2014). 이를 위해서는 생태하천 복원시 사용되는 재료는 무생물적 재료를 지양하고 과거부터 주로 서식하는 자생식물 등을 주재료로 사용하고 하도 구조는 하상의 현재 유로형상 (flow channel pattern)을 유지하도록 유도해야 한다. 유로 연장이 필요한 경우 직강화 등에 의해 축소되어서는 안되며 축소된 유로는 복원을 권장한다. 분절된 지류는 본류와 연결시키고 연력이 곤란한 웅덩이는 대상하천에 맞게 소택형 습지를 형성하도록 유도한다. 또한 생태통로(Eco-corridor) 확보 및 추이대 조성을 통해 생태환경 기능을 개선할 필요가 있으며 제내지의 폐천 부지는 하천구역으로 편입하여 생태습지 등으로 이용을 적극 고려해야 한다(Choi and Lee, 2019). 생태적 복원을 위해 주차장, 체육시설 및 공원 등은 배제해 자연성을 유지하되 주민의 활용도를 고려하는 것도 중요하다. 이를 통하여 삼천포천의 자연성 회복을 통한 생물다양성 증진 및 주민에게 다양한 문화 휴식 공간 제공 등의 생태계 서비스 능력을 향상을 기대한다(Bennett et al., 2009).

We have studied characteristics of community structure on the benthic macro-invertebrates at twelve selected sites in upstream, midstream and downstream of Paemsagol, Piagol, Chilseongol and Daeseonggol, major streams of Jirisan Mountain, for three years from April 2008 to September 2010. As a result, 2 phyla, 3 classes, 11 orders, 41 families, 119 species and 4,449 individuals of benthic macro-invertebrates have been collected and classified in this study. Among them EPT group (Ephemeroptera, Plecoptera, Trichoptera), commonly appearing taxa in clean stream ecosystem, was found most frequently. The highest species number of benthic macro-invertebrates were collected in 2008, the year with lower climatic influence including heavy rain. In almost all of survey sites 80% or over of EPT group were counted, and St. 1 scored highest rate of EPT group at 92.59%. Most dominant species was Ecdyonurus kibumensis at 12.83% of dominance index, and subdominant species was Goerodes KUb at 6.81% of dominance index. The investigation of the feeding function group indicated that gathering-collectors were dominant with 26 species and 1,334 individuals, while the number of filtering-collectors was lowest with 11 species and 230 individuals. This result represents that the feeding function group of Jirisan Mountain is mountainous stream-specific one. Both diversity index and richness index were lowest at the midstream of Chilseongol (St. 5), while the midstreams of Daeseonggol (St. 11) and Piagol (St. 8) were highest in diversity and richness indices respectively. The analyses of linear regression and correlation were performed in order to investigate and to predict the appearance aspect of EPT group by altitude. The results showed that the ratio of Plecopteran species number has increased by the elevation of the altitude at 0.05 significance level. Cluster analysis was also carried out for evaluating environmental similarities among survey sites. As a result, upper regions of Paemsagol (St. 1) and Piagol have clustered as most similar sites each other, while the midstream of Piagol (St. 8) has separated with lower similarity value than other sites in species composition.

인천광역시의 주요 하천 중 규모가 크고 시민 생활과 밀접한 관련이 있는 공촌천을 대상으로 자연형 하천 조성에 따른 영향 및 개선방안을 도출하기 위해서 연구를 수행하였으며, 이를 위해 2009년 7월에 준공한 공촌천에 대하여 조사 및 분석을 실시하였다. 공촌천의 모니터링 결과 중 조사 여건이 유사한 2004년, 2009년, 2010년의 출현종 분석 결과를 살펴보면, 2004년에는 32종, 2009년 22종, 2010년 46종으로 조사되었으며, 이는 공사전(2004년) 32종이 확인되었던 군집이 자연형 하천정비 공사로 인해 하상이 교란된 시점(2009년)에는 22종으로 출현 분류군이 감소하였으며, 공사가 완료된 후(2010년) 출현종이 46종으로 빠르게 회복한 것을 볼 수 있다. 이는 자연형 하천 정비 공사로 인해 저서성대형무척추동물이 서식 할 수 있는 공간(수제, 여울, 소) 등이 조성되어 다양한 저서성대형무척추동물이 이입된 것으로 판단된다. 이는 본 하천의 생물지수 및 ESB지수, KSI지수 분석 결과와 출현 변화 패턴과 유사한 결과를 보여 하천정비사업 기간 동안 감소하였다가 정비사업 후 안정화 기간을 거쳐 더 좋은 생물 서식 현황을 보이는 것으로 확인되었다.

Benthic macro invertebrate communities were collected at six different sampling sites in the Musucheon stream in Korea from July 2006 to July 2007, and ecological exergy values were calculated based on five different functional feeding groups (collector-gatherer, collector-filterer, predator, scrapper, and shredder) of benthic macro invertebrates. Each sampling site was categorized to three stream types (perennial, intermittent and drought) based on the water flow condition. Exergy values were low at all study sites right after a heavy rain and relatively higher in the perennial stream type than in the intermittent or the drought stream type. Self-Organizing Map (SOM), unsupervised artificial neural network, was implemented to pattern spatial and temporal dynamics of ecological exergy of the study sites. SOM classified samples into four clusters. The classification reflected the effects of floods and droughts on benthic macroinvertebrate communities, and was mainly related with the stream types of the sampling sites. Exergy values of each functional feeding group also responded differently according to the different stream types. Finally, the results showed that exergy is an effective ecological indicator, and patterning changes of exergy using SOM is an effective way to evaluate target ecosystems.

Benthic macroinvertebrate communities were collected from six different sites in the Dobong Stream in Seoul, Korea to investigate spatial and temporal changes in benthic macroinvertebrate communities in response to natural disturbances such as floods and droughts. We collected samples monthly or semimonthly with a Surber net ($30cm{\times}30cm$), and measured environmental factors, including stream temperature, discharge, width, conductivity, dissolved oxygen and pH at each sampling site. Benthic macro invertebrates were strongly affected by floods as well as droughts. In addition, benthic macroinvertebrate communities displayed different responses to the onset of the rainy season in summer 2006 and 2007, apparently due to differences in the intensity and amount of precipitation. Chironomids were particularly sensitive to heavy rain. Floods and droughts also affected the proportions of functional feeding groups during the survey period: the proportion of scrapers was high right after heavy rains, while the proportion of predators tended to increase in intermittent-type streams as the riffle zone decreased. Finally, although species richness and abundance were strongly influenced by heavy rain, they recovered to background levels for within one month, and varied consistently among stream types, indicating habitat stability.

On community data. sampled in regular intervals on a long-term basis. artificial neural networks were implemented to extract information on characterizing patterns of community changes. The Adaptive Resonance Theory and Kohonen Network were both utilized in learning benthic macroinvertebrate communities in the Soktae Stream of the Suyong River collected monthly for three years. Initially, by regarding each monthly collection as a separate sample unit, communities were grouped into similar patterns after training with the networks. Subsequently, changes in communities in a sequence of samplings (e.g., two-month, four-month, etc.) were given as input to the networks. After training, it was possible to recognize new data set in line with the sampling procedure. Through the comparative study on benthic macroinvertebrates with these learning processes, patterns of community changes in chironomids diverged while those of the total benthic macro-invertebrates tended to be more stable.
