The Upo wetland, the largest natural wetland in Korea, is located in Changnyeong-gun, Gyeongsannam Province ($35^{\circ}33'$ N, $128^{\circ}25'$ E), and 70 km upstream from the Nakdong River estuary. Unlike most other Korean wetlands that have been destroyed under the name of economic development, the Upo wetland has been able to preserve its precious ecosystem throughout the years. Thanks to increased public awareness about natural wetlands and environmental conservation, the Korean Ministry of Environment designated the Upo wetland an 'Ecological Conservation Area' on July 26th, 1997. On March 2nd of the following year, the Upo wetland (8.54 $\textrm{km}^2$) was designated a 'Protected Wetland' in accordance with the international Ramsar Treaty. A 4.49m long (from 9.73 to 5.24 m in altitude) UP-1 core ($35^{\circ}33'05"N$, $128^{\circ}25'17"E$), recovered in the marginal part of the Upo wetland, is divided into eight buried paleosol units of different ages on the basis of the abundance of color mottles and vertical color variations (Aslan et al., 1998). Radiocarbon datings suggested that the paleosol profile represent the last 5700 years. The entire section of the core was more or less subjected to pedogenetic processes, and shows very weak to moderate soil profile development. These Holocene paleosols are therefore regarded as synsedimentary soils of deluvium (deposits formed by floods) origin (Sycheva et al., 2003). Unit 1 to 5 paleosols are generally silt-rich and exhibit moderate profile development. The boundaries between the units are somewhat distinguishable, but not so clear cut. This is due to variable repeated combination of accumulation, denudation and soil forming processes within various periods. Mottle textures gradually decrease in abundance with increasing clay content in Unit 6, which results in weak profile development. The lower boundary of Unit 6 lies around about 2000 yrBP, the beginning of Subatlantic in Korea (Kim et al., 2001). Abrupt sediment textural change is detected in Unit 7, which is interpreted to indicate the human activities on the Upo wetland. Unit 8 represents the recent soil forming processes. The preliminary results of this ongoing study imply the primary factor for pedogenetic processes is the water table fluctuations related to the sedimentary textures like grain size distributions, and the geomorphological stability of the Upo wetland.o wetland.

본 연구는 습지보호지역인 장도습지에 대한 식생의 다양성과 공간적 분포 특성 파악을 통해 습지의 보전 및 복원 방안 마련의 기초자료 제공을 위해 이루어졌다. 종조성을 기반으로 하는 Z.-M. 학파의 식물사회학적 연구 방법에 의한 식생 조사 및 버드나무의 매목 조사, 좌표결정법에 의한 식물군락과 환경요소들 간의 관계 규명이 이루어졌다. 총 88종으로 이루어진 7개의 식물군락이 분류되었으며 습생식생과 건생식생으로 대분류되었다. 식물군락의 공간적 분포는 일차적으로 토양 수분조건에 의해 결정되고, 이차적으로 유기물 양에 의해 결정되는 것으로 드러났다. 습지식생 면적은 $7,337m^2$로서 습지보호지역의 약 8%이며, 습지보호지역 이외의 공간에도 분포하고 있어 보호지역 경계 재조정 필요성이 제기되었다. 버드나무의 분포 확산은 1990년대 이후 휴경과 가축 방목이 통제 되면서 습지 가장자리부터 중앙부로 확장된 것으로 드러났다. 이상의 연구 결과들을 토대로 보호지역 보전 및 복원 방안이 제시되었다.

금강수계의 논산 양지리에 위치한 인공습지는 축산폐수처리시설에서 방류되는 처리수의 추가처리와 함께 강우시 유역에서 유출되는 비점오염물질을 처리하기 위하여 설치되었다. 본 시설은 2008년 설치된 이후부터 시설검증을 위한 모니터링을 수행중에 있으며 본 연구결과는 시설의 설치 직후로부터 1년간의 모니터링 결과를 정리한 것이다. 모니터링 결과, 평균 오염물질 저감효율은 TSS가 86%, BOD가 60%, TN은 45%, TP의 경우 70%로 산정되었다. 대부분의 모니터링에서 입자상 물질과 인의 평균 저감효율이 60% 이상의 높은 저감효율을 보이는 반면 질소의 경우 축산폐수의 높은 질소농도에 비해 낮은 유기물 농도에 의하여 낮은 저감효율을 나타내는 것으로 분석되었다. 따라서 유출수내 질소제거능 향상을 위해서는 긴 수리학적 체류시간 및 추가적 DO공급이 필요한 것으로 평가되었다.

This study was conducted to establish an inventory and propose conservation strategies for 'village wetlands' in Asan city, Korea, using GIS. As results, the village wetlands are defined as such places as 'palustrine' wetland, village embankment, agricultural reservoir or small reservoirs located in or near the village and related to everyday life or farming. Firstly 807 provisional village wetlands(draft) were identified in Asan by using Arc-GIS 10.1, then 196 wetlands(final) were defined finally as village wetlands and listed the inventory of Asan Village Wetlands after being validated through office works and field survey. The office works analyzed minimum area(greater than $625m^2$), satellite images, the Korea Land Information System, land use map and land coverage map. To evaluate the function and conservation values, the 37 wetlands were selected for detailed surveying and function assessment based on the following criteria : 1) doubled code both wetland and reservoir at digital map, 2) located less than 100m from village and 3) ecologically connected to such ecological resources as seaside mudflats, mountains and green area and ecological passages for small size wildlifes. As the result of the wetland function assessments by the RAM method, 7 wetlands were found to have 'high' wetland function (conservation) 18 wetlands were 'medium' (enhancement) and 12 wetlands were 'low' (restoration or enhancement). Enhancing biodiversity and ecosystem services through ecological management of wetlands in Asan and connecting with the Ecological Natural Degree were proposed.

The study aims to comprehend the effect of the wetland ecology education on the elementary school students' changes of recognition about wetland through the wetland ecology map program. In this study, the literary research, the experimental research and the survey methods were operated. Through the literary research, the environmental factors were extracted, and the writing item of ecology map was reconstructed based on the literary research, so the experimental research was operated with the wetland ecology map program. Through four areas of test items such as the information and knowledge, values and attitudes, development and conservation, behavior and participation, and the analysis of children's study results, the effect of the wetland ecology map program on changes of recognition about wetland was verified quantitatively and qualitatively. Wetland ecology map program would be able to be an educational approach which can achieve the 'personalization of environment' setting up predictable environmental improvement goals and satisfying the needs of spatial information of the appropriate regions from the holistic perspective that students themselves plan and participate beyond a one-time experience program. Production of ecological map through continuous monitoring is expected to improve the possibility of subjective environmental actions by operating self-directed learning. Based on the conclusion of this study, we would suggest the following. For wetland ecology map program to be supplemented and utilized, the basic education of wetland should be organized in regular school curriculum, ecology map program including various teaching learning methods be prepared actively, and in future studies, studies of ecosystem-wide wetland ecology map program including animals like birds and fish are necessary.

연못형습지(Pond Wetland)는 우리나라 농업경관에서 많이 분포하고 있다. 이러한 연못형습지는 생물다양성을 위한 중요한 자원으로 평가 받는다. 하지만 연못형습지(Pond Wetland)에 대한 연구는 유형분류에 그치고 있다. 따라서 본 연구는 연못형습지의 생태계서비스(Ecosystem Service) 기능을 알아보았다. 연구방법은 총 3단계로 기능분석, 기능도출, 중요도 분석의 순으로 진행하였다. 선행연구를 분석하여 총 22가지의 기능을 도출하였다. 전문가 설문 결과 22개 항목 중 생물, 환경, 사회문화 분야에 각 4 기능씩 총 12개 기능으로 선별하였다. 항목간 AHP(Analytic Hierarchy Process)를 실시하여 기능별 중요도를 산출하였다. 중복된 기능은 통합하여 연못형습지의 생태계서비스 기능 10가지(1. Water Storage & Irrigation, 2. Vegetation Diversity, 3. Amphibian & Reptile Habitat, 4. Water Purification, 5. Aquatic Insect Habitat, 6. Nutriments Control, 7. Groundwater Recharge, 8. Fishery Habitat, 9. Eco-Experience & Education, 10. Aesthetic landscape)를 도출하였다. 향후 기능별 중요도 분석과 경제적 가치 지표를 적용하여 연못형습지의 생태계서비스 평가에 활용 할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.
