A vegetative filter strip (VFS) is one of the best management practices (BMPs) to reduce pollutant loads. This study aims to assess the effectiveness of VFS in dense upland field areas. The study areas are agricultural fields in the Maedae (MD), Gaa (GA), and Jaun (JU) watersheds, where severe sediment yields have occurred and the Korean government has designated them as non-point management regions. The agricultural fields were divided into three or four clusters for each watershed based on their slope, slope length, and area (e.g., MD1, MD2). To assess the sediment trapping (STE) and pesticide reduction efficiency (PRE) of VFS, the Vegetative Filter Strip Modeling System (VFSMOD) was applied with three different scenarios (SC) (SC1: VFS with rye vegetation; SC2: VFS with rye vegetation and a gentle slope in VFS range; and SC3: VFS with grass mixture). For SC1, there were relatively short slope lengths and small areas in the MD1 and GA3 clusters, and they showed higher pollutant reduction (STE>50%, PRE>25%). For SC2 and SC3, all clusters in GA and some clusters (MD1 and MD3) in MD show higher pollutant reduction (>25%), while the uplands in JU still show a lower pollutant (<25%). With correlation analysis between geographic characteristics and VFS effectiveness slope and slope length showed relative higher correlations with the pollutant efficiency than a area. The results of this study implied that slope and slope length should be considered to find suitable upland conditions for VFS installations.

This research was conducted to analyze removal efficiencies of non-point pollution source (NPS) in low impact development (LID) facilities with vegetation. In this research, removal efficiencies of NPS were calculated using rainfall monitoring data for 5 years in grassed swale (GS) and vegetative filter strip (VFS). TSS was greater than other pollutants, and it ranged 11.9 ~ 351.7 mg/L in GS and 12.8 ~ 350.7 mg/L in VFS. Outflow EMCs were reduced than inflow EMCs, overall removal efficiencies of NPS were 67 ~ 86% in GS and 63 ~ 91% in VFS. 50 % reduction efficiency of rainfall runoff was observed between inflow and outflow in each LID facility. TSS removal efficiency in GS and VFS was correlated with rainfall characteristics. The rainfall for TSS removal efficiency over 50% was determined about 31 mm, 34 mm and average rainfall intensity was 3.0 mm/hr, 3.9 mm/hr in GS and VFS. Therefore, GS and VFS were regarded effective LID facilities as removal of pollutants and rainfall runoff. Also, this research result can be used as an important data for management of NPS.

본 연구는 밭경지 현장실험을 통해 다양한 초생대 초종을 적용하여 밭의 비점오염저감효과 분석 및 초생대에 적용 가능한 적합한 초종을 선정하고자 하였다. 경북 군위군에 위치한 면적 $1,500m^2$, 경사 5%의 밭경지를 선정하여 시험포를 조성하였으며, 시험포내에는 대조구 1개와 초생대 처리구 6개로 구성된 총 7개의 시험구를 조성하였다. 츄파, 피, 바랭이, 잔디, 톨페스큐, 켄터키블루그라스를 포함하는 6개의 초종을 선정하여 초생대 실험을 수행하였다. 현장실험 결과 대조구 대비 초생대의 유출저감효과는 6.1~77.8%였으며, 비점오염저감효과는 TS의 경우 15.6~90.3%, T-P의 경우 49.9~96.6%, T-N의 경우 6.7~91.1%를 나타내었다. 전체 오염인자 중에 초생대로 인해 전반적으로 높은 비점오염저감 효과를 나타낸 것은 TS, T-P, T-N, SS인 반면, BOD, TOC와 $NO_3^-$는 낮은 저감효과를 보였다. 비점오염저감 및 유지관리측면에서 가장 유리한 초생대 초종은 잔디로 평가되었다. 본 연구결과를 통해 우리나라 농촌지역 밭 비점오염저감을 위한 관리기법으로 초생대가 효과적으로 활용가능하리라 사료되며, 보다 장기적이고 다각적인 현장실험을 통해 초생대 현장적용을 위한 설계 지침서 개발이 요구된다.

The goal of this study was to evaluate sediment reduction effects of VFS (vegetative filter strip) applied for Iksan area in Saemangeum watershed. This study simulated runoff and sediment load from different types of uplands using VFSMOD-W. The general upland characteristics of the study area was investigated to build reasonable scenarios of the simulation. The simulation scenarios were designed by various areas, shapes, and slopes of uplands. Grass mixture was selected as VFS vegetation and the size of VFS was fixed as 10 % of uplands area. Additionally 50mm, 100mm, 150mm of daily rainfall were applied for the runoff and sediment simulation. As results, the calculated runoff and sediment loads were obtained $20.7{\sim}1,030.6m^3$ and 568.4~675,731.4 kg for the range of 0.1~1.0 ha of uplands with 7 % and 15 % slopes. The reduction effects on runoff and sediment were obtained 5~10 % and 21.0~47.7 % respectively from VFS applications. The VFSMOD-W simulations showed that runoff tended to increase as upland area and amount of rainfall increased while sediment increased when slope, length and area of uplands and amount of rainfall increased. These results indicated that rainfall amount and upland size are the critical factors for the generation of runoff and sediment load. In order to support this conclusion, further studies such as, long term monitoring, field experiments, and to calibrate and evaluate the model are necessary.

수변식생은 코리도형 생태계로서 수생태계와 육상생태계 사이의 전이지대이며, 구조적으로나 기능적으로 연계를 통해 생태계 건강성을 향상시킬 수 있게 된다. 이러한 수변생태계는 서식처, 종의 공급원과 수요처, 이동통로, 필터와 장벽 등의 기능을 갖는다. 본 연구는 표준생태계의 식생구조를 바탕으로 저수지 수위변동구간의 수문환경 및 토양환경을 고려하여 도입 가능한 식생모델을 구축하기 위해 수행되었다. 경사도 10%이내의 완경사지를 중심으로 식생모델 적용 대상지 2개소를 선정하였다. 수변식생 모델은 GIS분석과 위성영상, 현지조사 결과에 따라 수위 및 침수빈도, 토양 및 지형인자, 토지피복(이용) 형태를 기준으로 구축하였으며, 구체적으로는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 수변식생 도입 가능구역으로는 계획홍수위 지점에서 만수위의 -5m 지점까지로 하였다. 둘째, 식재를 위한 수변지역 경사도는 $10^{\circ}$ 이하이다. 셋째, 연평균 100일 침수까지 생육 가능한 수종은 버드나무, 왕버들, 갯버들 등이다. 넷째, 토지피복(이용) 형태에 따라 야생초지(개여뀌, 이삭사초, 강아지풀, 가막사리, 물억새, 갈대, 망초, 달맞이꽃 등), 묵논(기존 경작지), 밭(기존 경작지)으로 분류하였다. 다섯째, 수변식생 기능을 생태경관림으로 설정하여 모델을 구축하였다. 이를 바탕으로 대청호 2개소를 선정하여 모델식재를 제안하였다. 본 연구에서 제안된 수변식생 모델은 저수지 및 하천 수변식생대의 생태적 기능과 경관성을 향상하기 위한 기초자료로 유용할 것이다.
