Species composition and distribution patterns of shellfish were investigated in Eoeun and Geojeon tidal flat located in the Saemangeum area on the west coast of Korea from May to October 2000. Nineteen species of shellfish were collected in Geojeon tidal flat. The samples in number of individuals included Umbonium thomasi $(90.0\%)$ and Mactra veneriformis $(5.0\%).$ In Eoeun tidal flat, ten species of shellfish were collected and the dominant species in number of individuals were Potamocorbula amurensis $(55.0\%)$ and U. thomasi $(18.6\%).$ These results were compared with previous studies conducted before the beginning of reclamation in Saemangeum. Compared with the results from 1988, a change In species composition was observed. Laternula flexuosa and Nuttallia olivacea appeared, while Mactra chinensis and Coelomactra antiquata disappeared in the deposition area in Geojeon tidal flat. In the erosion area of Eoeun tidal flat, M. veneriformis and Meretrix lusoria appeared, while Cyclina sinensis disappeared. Based on a cluster analysis, the shellfish community in Eoeun tidal flat was classified into three station groups based on sediment types. Geojeon tidal flat was also classified into three station groups. The distribution of shellfish in the Saemangeum area was closely related to the sediment types.

Waterline extraction is the one of widely used methods for studying changes in tidal flat environment and coastlines using multi-temporal optical images such as Landsat TM and Landsat ETM+. High dynamics of tidal currents and land reclamation which accelerate sedimentation and/or erosion cause waterline change in tidal flats. The amount of sediment deposited or eroded can be evaluated by precisely estimating waterline changes in tidal flats. The objective of this study is to detect the change of waterlines during 17 years and analyze the trends of erosion and sedimentation in the study areas. The Ganghwado tidal flat on the west coast of the Korean Peninsula was selected. The study area is famous for high dynamics of tidal currents and vast tidal flats. Land reclamation which has been carried out on a large scale is also considered as one of elements that have accelerated the environmental changes in this tidal flat. In this study, we acquired 26 waterlines from Landsat TM and Landsat ETM+ images. We extracted the waterline from each satellite image to generate a digital elevation map (DEM) which was used for reference and to compare with the other waterline which was extracted from DEM having a same tide. The result of comparison well depicted the areas of dominant sedimentation and erosion, and general trends of sedimentation and erosion according to sub-regions are also revealed during the investigation time. Results showed that erosion during a decade was dominant at the west of the Southern Ganghwado tidal flat, while sedimentation was dominant at the wide channel between the Southern Ganghwado tidal flat and the Yeongjongdo tidal flat. This area has been commonly affected by high currents and sedimentation energy. Although we were not able to verify the accuracy of the waterline changes, this result clearly showed the waterline change and therefore, the waterline extraction method used in this study has proven as an effective tool for long term tidal change estimation.

North Korea is carrying out reclamation activities in tidal flat areas distributed throughout the west coast. Previousremote sensing research on North Korean tidal flats either failsto reflect recent trends or focuses on identifying and analyzing tidal flats. Thisstudy aimsto quantify the impact of recent reclamation activitiesin North Korea's coastal areas and contribute knowledge useful for determining the best remote sensing methods for coastal areas with limited accessibility, such as those in North Korea. Using Landsat-8 OLI images from 2014-2022, we analyzed land cover changesin an area on the west coast of Pyeonganbuk-do where reclamation activities are underway. Unsupervised classification using the normalized difference water index and the random forest classification technique were each used to divide the study area into classification groups, and changes in their areas over time were analyzed. The resultsshow a clear decrease in the water area and a tendency to increase cultivated area,supporting the evidence that North Korea'sreclamation isfor agricultural land expansion.Along coasts behind seawalls, the water area decreased by nearly half, and the cultivated area increased by over 2,300%, indicating significant changes and highlighting the anthropogenic nature of the cover changes due to reclamation. Both methods demonstrated high accuracy, making them suitable for detecting cover changes caused by reclamation. It is expected that further quality research will be conducted through the use of high-resolution satellite images and by combining data from multiple satellites in the future.

The change in relationships between methane production and sulfate reduction was investigated in reclaimed rice field soils at different time points after reclamation of tidal flat in Korea. Sulfate concentrations of soils in the ca. 60-year-old and 26-year-old reclaimed rice fields were much lower than that in a natural tidal flat. During 60 d of anaerobic incubation, total methane production and sulfate consumption of the soil slurries were 7.0 ${\mu}$mol $CH_4$/g and 8.2 ${\mu}$mol $SO_4^{2-}$/g in the 60-year-old rice field, 5.6 ${\mu}$mol $CH_4$/g and 12.7 mmol $SO_4^{2-}$/g in the 26-year-old rice field, and ca. 0 mmol $CH_4$/g and 22.4 ${\mu}$mol $SO_4^{2-}$/g in a natural tidal flat. Relative percent electron flow through sulfate reduction in the 60-year-old rice field was much lower (50.8%) compared with the 26-year-old rice field (69.3%) and the tidal flat (99.9%). The addition of an inhibitor of methanogenesis (2-bromoethanesulfonate) had no effect on sulfate reduction in the soil slurries of the reclaimed rice fields. However, instant stimulation of methane production was achieved with addition of an inhibitor of sulfate reduction (molybdate) in the soil slurries from the 26-year-old reclaimed rice field. The specific inhibitor experiments suggest that the relationship of methanogenesis and sulfate reduction might become mutually exclusive or syntrophic depending on sulfate content in the soil after reclamation. Sulfate, thus sulfate reduction activity of sulfate-reducing bacteria, would be an important environmental factor that inhibits methane production and determines the major pathway of electron and carbon flow in anaerobic carbon mineralization of reclaimed rice field soils.

The costal area where takes up over 32% in domestic teritory is considered as very importantly because it has not only economic facilities such as harbor and an industrial complex but also recreation facilities. Moreover, the tidal flat area has been used as culture ponds and salt farms because this area is occupied by various oceanic species. Also, the tidal flat area has played an important role to purify ocean pollution and maintain an ecosystem. However, the costal ecosystem has seriously threatened by domestic reclamation projects and a large-scale tide embankment during recent 10 years in Korea. This serious problem results in loosing 34%(810$km^2$) of the entire domestic costal area. In this paper, the micro-landform in the tidal flat area, which is called as Garolim bay in Korea, is classified by using Landsat TM images also verified through a filed report. Through the result of this, the tidal flat area is expected to manage efficiently especially through analyzing sediment environment and characteristic of grain size by using satellite images.

It has been known that shallow-water regions, such as tidal flats, sea grass and sea weed beds have water purification capability, and they also serve as nursery grounds for many fishes. On the other hand, tidal flat areas are economically attractive sites for reclamation, to be used for developing industries. When developing shallow-water areas, we have to propose a plan to mitigate the environmental impact associated with such a development plan. However, it is difficult to estimate the affects on the ecosystem and water purification, and the literature related to this matter is insufficient. In order to evaluate the ability of coastal tidal flat and to predict the future changes, it is necessary to develop a reliable prediction technique and construction of data by using a field investigation. In this study, we carried out a numerical model test for the tidal flat ecosystem, using the pelagic system and the benthic system, simultaneously, in order to show a change in the tidal flat ecosystem. The flow of nitrogen, phosphorus and carbon has been identified as a primary consideration of marine ecosystem components, and the capability of water purification and the change of the tidal flat were predicted using this flow. In order to make a more reliable prediction, a field investigation to determine tide, current and creatures of the object coastal area has been done. The purification capability of this shallow-water region is estimated from the model results. According to the results of experiments, the tidal flat has a capability of water purification (Sink) of 11mgN/m2/day, but the other area has a load (Source) of 20mgN/m2/day. As a result, we could confirm that the tidal flat of an object coastal area plays an important role in water purification.

본 연구에서는 우리나라의 간석지 연구사를 유형별 및 시기별로 정리하였다. 간석지 연구사는 크게 간석지 퇴적물 연구, 위성영상을 이용한 연구, 제4기 환경변화와 간석지에 관한 연구, 그리고 간석지의 생태학적 연구 등 4개 분야로 구분하였다. 한국의 간석지 연구사를 종합적으로 살펴보면, 간석지 연구는 일제시대 때부터 있었으나 대부분 수산업에 관계된 연구들이었다. 이후 1960년대에는 간척사업으로 인해 형성된 간척지를 대상으로 하는 연구에 집중되었다. 지형학적인 관점에서의 간석지에 관한 연구는 1970년대에 본격적으로 시작되어 1980년대 이후부터 간석지의 중요성이 알려지면서 더욱 활기를 띠게 되었다. 특히, 퇴적환경과 지표 형태 및 생태계, 지형 변화에 관한 연구가 주를 이루었으며, 2000년대 이후에는 위성영상 자료와 현장조사를 병행하여 접근하기 어려운 간석지의 퇴적상 및 퇴적환경 변화를 지속적으로 모니터링 하는 연구가 진행되었다. 우리나라의 간석지에 관한 지리학 분야에서의 학술연구는 다수 진행되었지만, 지형학에서의 간석지 연구 성과는 소수에 의해 진행되어 여전히 블루오션과 같은 분야이다. 따라서 향후 더 많은 지형학자의 관심 속에서 우리나라의 간석지에 대한 다양한 연구가 진행되어 지형학에서의 주요 연구 분야로 정착하기를 기대한다.

간척후 식생변화를 알기 위하여 우리나라 중서부 해안 간척지에서 식생분포를 조사하였다. 조사대상지는 2002년 간척된 경기만 행담간석지, 체절후 각각 7년, 9년, 18년 된 충남 석문과 대호, 경기만 행담 간척지이다. 신간척지에서 주 식생은 Suaeda japonica이었으며 다른 식생은 드물었다. 기존 간척지에서는 다양한 염생식물과 중성식물이 분포하고 있었다. 신간척지에서는 Salicornia europaea, Suaeda glauca, Suaeda japonica, 그리고 Suaeda maritime 등 4종의 염생선구종식생이 분포하고 있었다. 간척연대가 진전되면서 통성염생식물과 중성식물이 차례로 출현하고 있었다. 기존 간척지에서 다양한 통성염생식물과 중성식물이 복합하여 나타났고, 이들이 선구종 염생식물보다 우점하였으며, Suaeda japonica는 출현하지 않았다. 통성염생식물과 중성식물의 다양성이 높아질수록 선구종염생식물이 감소되는 현상은 식생이 간척후 숙성에 따라 식생이 통성염생식물과 중성식물의 혼합으로 천이되는 것을 시사하고 있다. 간척초기에 신간척지에서는 외부식물의 침입에 따라 식생종의 변화가 빠르게 진행되었다. 통성염생식물과 중성식물은 간척초기에 증가하였으나 선구종염생식물의 상대적 밀도와 빈도는 통성염생식물과 중성식물보다 높았다. 간척후 3년 이후 연구에 의하면 외부식물이 선구종 염생식물이 우점하였다. 이러한 식생의 변화에도 선구종염생식물로 Salicornia europaea, Suaeda maritima, 그리고 Suaeda glauca, 통성염생식물로 Aster tripolium, Sonchus brachvotus, 그리고 Phragmites communis 등이 간척지에서는 공통적인 주 염생식물으로서의 위치를 점하고 있었다.
