온실가스 배출로 인한 기후변화는 되먹임 고리의 형태로 연결되어 공진화 하는 자연생태계와 사회시스템의 지속가능성을 저해하는 위험요소가 되었다. 기후변화가 인위적인 온실가스 배출량의 상승에 의한 것으로 지적됨에 따라, 온실가스 배출원과 대기 간의 에너지 및 물질 교환과정에 대한 관심이 고조되었다. 본 고찰에서는 온실가스 모니터링의 배경에 대한 역사와 특별히 농업에서 배출되는 온실가스 관측을 위한 챔버법의 개발에 대해 요약하였다. 챔버를 이용하여 온실가스의 방출 특성을 분석한 국내 선행 연구들의 검토를 기반으로, 기후변화 적응을 위해 보다 나은 과학적 기초자료를 구축할 수 있도록 국내 챔버 관측의 문제점과 개선 방향을 간략히 논의하였다.

아셀렌산염(selenite, ${SeO_3}^{2-}$)을 환원시키는 세균 SE4-1을 복합 산업단지 내 위치한 오염된 하천 퇴적토로부터 분리하였고, 계통분석결과 이 균주는 Citrobacter freundii와 가장 유사하였다. 이 균주는 혐기적 환경에서 아셀렌산염을 원소상 셀레늄(elemental selenium, $Se^0$)으로 환원시켰고, 그 형상은 구형으로 확인되었다. 이러한 고체상의 침전은 셀레늄 산소음이온의 이동성을 줄이고 생물가용성을 줄여, 생태계 독성을 줄이는 잠재성을 제시해 줄 수 있을 것이다.

Controversy has surrounded the potential impacts of phytoplankton on the tropical climate, since climate models produce diverse behaviors in terms of the equatorial mean state and El $Ni{\tilde{n}}o$-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) amplitude. We explored biophysical impacts on the tropical ocean temperature using an ocean general circulation model coupled to a biogeochemistry model in which chlorophyll can modify solar attenuation and in turn feed back to ocean physics. Compared with a control model run excluding biophysical processes, our model with biogeochemistry showed that subsurface chlorophyll concentrations led to an increase in sea surface temperature (particularly in the western Pacific) via horizontal accumulation of heat contents. In the central Pacific, however, a mild cold anomaly appeared, accompanying the strengthened westward currents. The magnitude and skewness of ENSO were also modulated by biophysical feedbacks resulting from the chlorophyll affecting El $Ni{\tilde{n}}o$ and La $Ni{\tilde{n}}a$ in an asymmetric way. That is, El $Ni{\tilde{n}}o$ conditions were intensified by the higher contribution of the second baroclinic mode to sea surface temperature anomalies, whereas La $Ni{\tilde{n}}a$ conditions were slightly weakened by the absorption of shortwave radiation by phytoplankton. In our model experiments, the intensification of El $Ni{\tilde{n}}o$ was more dominant than the dampening of La $Ni{\tilde{n}}a$, resulting in the amplification of ENSO and higher skewness.

Suspended sediment is an important oceanic variable for monitoring changes in coastal environment related to physical and biogeochemical processes. In order to estimate suspended sediment concentration (SSC) from satellite data, we derived SSC coefficients by fitting satellite remote sensing reflectances to in-situ suspended sediment measurements. To collect in-situ suspended sediment, we conducted ship cruises at 16 different locations three times for the periods of Sep.-November 2009 and Jul. 2010 at the passing time of Landsat $ETM_+$. Satellite data and in-situ data measured by spectroradiometers were converted to remote sensing reflectances ($R_{rs}$). Statistical approaches proved that the exponential formula using a single band of $R_{rs}$(565) was the most appropriate equation for the estimation of SSC in this study. Satellite suspended sediment using the newly-derived coefficients showed a good agreement with insitu suspended sediment with an Root Mean Square (RMS) error of 1-3 g/$m^3$. Satellite-observed SSCs tended to be overestimated at shallow depths due to bottom reflection presumably. This implies that the satellite-based SSCs should be carefully understood at the shallow coastal regions. Nevertheless, the satellite-derived SSCs based on the derived SSC coefficients, for the most cases, reasonably coincided with the pattern of in-situ suspended sediment measurements in the study region.

The characteristics and behavior of dissolved organic matter (DOM) were determined by analyzing the molecular weight fractions and fluorescence properties of water samples in the downstream Nakdong River. Biogeochemical water quality parameters and fluorescent dissolved organic matter (FDOM) were analyzed at five sampling points in the downstream area of the Nakdong River January-August 2019. The molecular weight fractions of the DOM were separated by the Liquid Chromatography-Organic Carbon Detection (LC-OCD). The DOM predominantly comprised humic substances, followed by the building blocks, low molecular weight neutrals and biopolymers. The hydrophobic (aromatic) and hydrophilic properties were shown as coexisting, as most of the SUVA_254nm values were under four. The FDOM was characterized as humic-like (FDOM_H) with allochthonous origin and protein-like (FDOM_P) with autochthonous origin; the FDOM_H with autochthonous origin was also identified. The FDOM_H relies on the aromaticity of the allochthonous organic matter and increases during summer. The FDOM_H and FDOM_P, which depend on the biodegradable dissolved organic matter from phytoplankton, were highly fluorescent in winter. The allochthonous organic matter was the dominant factor contributing to the behavior of the DOM, externally introduced to the river by rainfall. The FDOM only minimally contributed to the behavior of the DOM. It can be explained as the seasonal characteristics of the DOM, varied by the source of the organic matter.

댐의 습지로서의 기능을 평가하기 위해 댐도 하나의 습지로 정의하고, HGM 습지 평가 방법에 따라 보령댐을 우포늪의 습지 기능을 비교 평가하였다. 보령댐의 습지로서 수문학적 기능은 단기적이고 작은 흐름들에 대해서는 취약성을 가지지만, 반면 장기적이고 큰 흐름들에 대해서는 강점을 가진다. 생지화학적 기능은 우포의 약 50%정도를 수행하는 것으로 나타났다. 식물 서식처로서의 기능도 식물 군집의 유지 측면에서 매우 우수한 기능을 하는 것으로 나타났다. 동물 서식처로서의 기능은 우포늪에 준하는 기능을 수행하였다. 다만 조류의 서식처로서의 기능이 다소 부족하였다. 이 연구를 통해 보령댐의 장점과 단점을 명확히 하여 장점을 살리고 단점을 보강 할 근거를 마련하고자 한다.

자연 하천과 연계된 지하수 종속 생태환경은 지하수와 지표수의 화학적, 수리적 구배차이에 의해 혼합이 활발히 일어나는 지역이다. 지표수와 지하수 사이의 상호작용은 지하수 종속 생태 환경에서의 생지화학 과정에 중요한 역할뿐만 아니라 이 지역을 수리생태학적 열점으로 만든다. 이 연구의 목적은 질산성 질소로 오염된 자연하천과 연계된 지하수 종속 생태환경의 특성을 수리지질학적, 화학적, 생물학적 방법을 이용하여 특성을 평가하는 것이다. 지하수 종속 생태환경에서 일어나는 지표수와 지하수 사이의 수직교환률은 현장에 다양한 깊이로 설치한 소형관정에서 측정한 수두구배를 근거하여 계산하였다. 본 연구에서는 생물학적 자연저감 퍼텐셜을 조사하기 위해 연쇄중합반응 및 클로닝 방법이 수행되었다. 연구 결과, 지하수 종속 생태환경의 혼합수 유동률은 다소 미생물의 활동, 그리고 질산성 질소의 농도에 영향을 미치고 있음을 확인하였다. 또한 지표수-지하수 혼합구간의 토양에서 분리된 탈질미생물은 특정조건하에서 지하수 종속 생태환경에서의 생분해능력을 고무할 수 있다.

Using results from an earth system model, the distribution of partial pressure of $CO_2$ ($pCO_2$) in surface seawater over the East China Sea is investigated. In this area $pCO_2$ shows minimum along the edge of the continental break along the path of the Taiwan-Tsushima Current System. Apparently modelled chlorophyll is also great along the current but the maximum of the chlorophyll and the minimum of $pCO_2$ do not coincide suggesting that the primary production is not the main cause of the $pCO_2$ minimum. As we move toward the Yellow Sea from the Kuroshio area the temperature decreases so that the $pCO_2$ becomes smaller. If we move further toward the Yellow Sea beyond the Taiwan-Tsushima Current System, alkalinity starts to drop substantially to intensify $pCO_2$ while overcoming the effect of decreasing temperature and salinity. Thus $pCO_2$ minimum occurs along the Taiwan-Tsushima Current System. Of course, the primary production lower $pCO_2$ during spring when it is high but the effect is local. Near the Yangtze river mouth and northeastern corner of the Yellow Sea the fresh water input is large enough and dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC) becomes low enough so that $pCO_2$ becomes lower again.

The purpose of this study was to estimate the spatial-temporal NPP(Net Primary Productivity) and SCS(Soil Carbon Storage) of forest ecosystem under climate change in the capital area of South Korea using Mapss-Century1 (MC1), one of Dynamic Global Vegetation Models (DGVMs). The characteristics of the NPP and SCS changes were simulated based on a biogeochemical module in this model. As results of the simulation, the NPP varies from 2.02 to 7.43 tC $ha^{-1}\;yr^{-1}$ and the SCS varies from 34.55 to 84.81 tC $ha^{-1}$ during 1971~2000 respectively. Spatial mean NPP showed a little decreasing tendency in near future (2021~2050) and then increased in far future (2071~2100) under the condition of increasing air temperature and precipitation which were simulated by the A1B climate change scenario of Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). But it was estimated that the temporal change of spatial mean NPP indicates 4.62% increasing tendency in which elevation is over 150m in this area. However, spatial mean SCS was decreased in the two future periods under same climate condition.

The EFDC (Environmental Fluid Dynamics Code), a numerical model for simulating three-dimensional (3D) flow, transport, and biogeochemical processes in surface water systems including rivers, reservoirs, and estuaries, was applied to assess the effect of sea water and fresh water exchange rates ($Q_e$) on the mixing characteristics of a conservative pollutant (tracer) induced from upstreams and salinity in Saemangeum Lake, Korea. The lake has been closed by a 33 km estuary embankment since last April of 2006, and now seawater enters the lake partially through two sluice gates (Sinsi and Garyuk), which is driving the changes of hydrodynamic and water quality properties of the lake. The EFDC was constructed and calibrated with surveyed bathymetry data and field data including water level, temperature, and salinity in 2008. The model showed good agreement with the field data and adequately replicated the spatial and temporal variations of the variables. The validated model was applied to simulated the tracer and salinity with two different gate operation scenarios: RUN-1 and RUN-2. RUN-1 is the case of real operation condition ($Q_e=25,000,000\;m^3$) of 2008, while RUN-2 assumed full open of Sinsi gate to increase $Q_e$ by $120,000,000\;m^3$. Statistical analysis of the simulation results indicate that mixing characteristics of pollutants from upstream can be significantly affected by the amount of $Q_e$.
