This study investigated the transformation of dissolved organic matter (DOM) in a free-water surface flow constructed wetland. Pyrolysis gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (Py-GC/MS) coupled with preparative high-performance liquid chromatography (prep-HPLC) was used to analyze the compositions of biopolymers (polysaccharides, amino sugars, proteins, polyhydroxy aromatics, lipids and lignin) in DOM according to the molecular size at three sampling points of the water flow: inflow, midflow, and outflow. The prep-HPLC results verified the decomposition of DOM through the decrease in the number of peaks from three to one in the chromatograms of the sampling points. The Py-GC/MS results for the degradable peaks indicated that biopolymers relating to polysaccharides and proteins gradually biodegraded with the water flow. On the other hand, the recalcitrant organic fraction (the remaining peak) in the outflow showed a relatively high concentration of aromatic compounds. Therefore, the ecological processes in the constructed wetland caused DOM to become more aromatic and homogeneous. This indicated that the constructed wetland can be an effective buffer area for releasing biochemically stable DOM, which has less influence on biological water quality indicators, e.g., biochemical oxygen demand, into an aquatic ecosystem.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the ecological impact of wetlands by changing the species diversity of benthic macroinvertebrates and birds following the creation of an artificial wetland with a size of 30 m*30 m on bare land in reclaimed land in Haenam-gun, Korea. We investigated monthly fauna of benthic macroinvertebrates and birds in and outside wetlands and physicochemical indicators for 7 months from March to September 2014. During the study period, the water temperature and dissolved oxygen levels were consistently higher in wetlands than lakes. Many species of benthic macroinvertebrates were observed in summer (16 species in July) due to seasonal effects, and the species diversity index was highest in July and then gradually decreased. Thirteen species of birds were observed in March, 6 species in April, 5 species in July, and 1 species in June, where most winter birds and migratory birds were observed around wetlands in spring. The species diversity index also decreased after being high in July except for spring. This suggests that the abiotic environment in the wetland can be improved by creating an artificial wetland in the reclaimed land, and the increase in benthic macroinvertebrates can ultimately be a basic direction to restore the wetland ecosystem in the reclaimed land.

산지습지는 멸종위기야생동식물 II 급인 끈끈이주걱과 지표종인 이삭귀개, 잠자리난초, 물매화, 진퍼리새 등이 분포하여 중요성은 높으나, 자연적 또는 인위적인 과정에 의해 건조화가 빠르게 진행되고 있어 시급한 관리가 필요한 실정이다. 본 연구는 정확한 자연생태계 현황 및 건조화 진행 실태를 파악하여 습지생태계 보존대책과 건조화 관리 방안을 제시하고자 한다. 화엄늪은 경사도 $10^{\circ}$ 미만(86.1%), 해발 750~810m(87.4%)로 산지습지의 적지라고 할 수 있으나 하부에 깊이 1.6m, 폭 0.8m인 수로가 형성되어 이탄층 유실, 수위저하 등으로 인한 건조화 진행이 우려되었다. 습지보호지역 내 식생은 진퍼리새 등 습윤지성 식생이 분포하는 면적이 6.7%로 협소한 반면, 참억새, 미역줄나무 등 산림성 목본 및 건조지성 초본이 우점하여 방치시 숲생태계로의 천이가 예상된다. 건조화를 예방하고 양호한 생태계의 지속적인 보존을 위해 식생의 생태적 특성을 고려한 보존 및 관리지역 설정, 습지보호를 위해 천이에 영향을 미치는 주연부 식생 관리, 핵심지역 보호를 위한 완충지역 설정을 제안하였다. 관리에 있어서는 습지훼손 요인관리를 위하여 수계로의 과도한 지하수 유출 억제를 통한 물고임 습지 안정화와 산지습지 지표종에 대한 보호 및 관리식물 지정, 습지의 산림화를 유발 촉진할 수 있는 건조지성 수목을 관리해야 할 것이다.

Wetlands are one of the most representative groundwater dependent ecosystems(GDEs) that require access to groundwater on a permanent or intermittent basis to maintain their biological communities and ecological processes. In this study, the seasonal characteristics of the GDEs in Baekseok Reservoir Wetland were evaluated through the monitoring of the temporal and spatial community of benthic macroinvertebrates in the wetland. The appearance of benthic macroinvertebrates appearance was changed seasonally depending on environmental factors such temperature, precipitation and water level for their habitat and it also showed the clear spatial difference in the wetland. The scores of Diversity index(H'), Richness Index (R1) and the Ecological score of benthic macroinvertebrates (TESB/AESB) were relatively high at St.3 and 4(i.e., north area) where groundwater inflows into wetland(i.e., high ²²²Rn conc.). The statistical analysis (ANOVA test and PCA) investigated the correlation among the benthic macroinvertebrates' community, groundwater level, wetland water level and water quality. The results showed that the community of benthic macroinvertebrates at St. 3 and 4 in Baekseok Reservoir Wetlands was spatially dependent on groundwater level and groundwater inflow. The characterization and assessment of GDEs requires understanding the hydrological, biogeochemical and biological process and this study will provide information for characterization and assessment of GDEs.

A study of the vascular hydrophyte communities and biomass was undertaken in the Bigumdo wetlands, Shinangun, from March to November, 2005. As a result, the vegetation was divided into 14 communities. Among them, emergent hydrophytes consisted of 6 communities, including Miscanthus sacchariflorus community, Phragmites communis community, Typha angustata community, Leersia japonica community, Paspalum disticum var. indutum community, and Persicaria thunbergii community, floating hydrophytes 5 communities including Hydrocharis dubia community, Nelumbo nucifera community, Euryale ferox community, Trapa japonica community and Nymphaea tetragona var. angusta community, free-floating hydrophytes 2 commuinties including Lemna paucicostata community and Spirodela polyrhiza community, and submergent hydrophyte 1 community, including Myriophyllum verticillatum community. Biomass was the highest at emergent hydrophytes and decreased along the life form, in the order like floating hydrophytes, submergent hydrophyte and free-floating hydrophytes. In addition, hydrophytes in the Bigumdo wetland showed the typical vertical zonation pattern like a natural swamp. These results were considered that the wetland of Bigumdo was characterized by the typical structure of aquatic plant ecosystem.

최근들어 세계환경의 화두는 습지와 더불어 논습지 그리고 습지의 생태계서비스 기능에 집중 조명되고 있지만, 논습지의 생태계서비스를 평가 할 수 있는 연구체계가 부족한 실정이다. 따라서 본 연구는 기존의 습지평가체계를 논습지에 적용하여 습지로서 논의 가치를 평가해보는 동시에 논습지 중심의 평가체계를 구축하는 기초자료로 활용하고자 연구를 진행하였다. 연구 대상지는 고도와 토양을 기준으로 16곳을 선정하였다. 습지평가 결과 연구대상지 16곳은 총점 110점~118점, 평균 2.17~2.50으로 선행연구 사례지인 호수형습지, 소택형습지, 하천형습지와 비교해도 습지로서 가치가 인정되었다고 할 수 있다. 하지만 고도, 토성에 따라서는 평가결과의 차이는 없었으며, 보전가치는 모두 같게 나타났다. Pearson 상관분석을 통해 보전가치에 가장 밀접하게 작용하는 요인을 찾아본 결과, 면적이 상관관계가 있는 것으로 나타났다. 그러나 기존의 습지평가체계로 논습지에 적용하기에는 한계가 있는 것으로 사료되어 논습지 평가를 위해서는 재배유형, 지형적 특성, 식생특성, 생육환경, 생물다양성 등의 다양한 후속 연구를 통해 습지평가체계를 보완할 필요가 있는 것으로 판단하였다.
