The formation of the lava dam of the paleo lake blocked the entrance to the Chatancheon River on the Jeongok lava plateau and it suddenly transformed the terrestrial ecosystem into the aquatic one by the overflow. The spiders in the lava dam adapted in the wetland and evolved into water spiders that could survive by forming bubble houses. Since then, the lava dam was connected to the present Hantangang River due to the dissection and the lake became a terrestrial environment, a small area of marsh composed of primarily clay soil layer. Change in water level of the habitat and thus the extension of the terrestrial area made the species a endangered now. This study carried out frequency of occurrence, degree of wetness and plant habitats of the vascular plant in the water spider habitat. As a result of this study, total 180taxa are of 55 (30.6%) wetland plant groups and of 113 (62.8%) upland plant groups except facultative plant groups. Among the wetland plant groups, the Isachne globosa community occupied the largest area, where the water spiders were most observed. The result of this study, the classification and the types of vascular plant species, would provide useful information for the sustaining healthy wetland ecosystem and the restoration of the habitat for the water spiders.

This study tried to reveal incision rate and its change by formation of lava plateau in the Cheorwon-Jeongok area. Incision rates of 0.421 m/ka and 0.101 m/ka in the upper and lower reaches of Hantan-gang, respectively, were calculated from sites before formation of lava plateau. These incision rates indicate that the upper and lower reaches of Hantan-gang have much higher and slightly lower incision rates than streams with similar distances from the Taebaek Mountains. However, sites after formation of lava plateau mostly showed incision rates ranging from 0.5 m/ka to 0.9 m/ka. Streams flowed on the lava plateau revealed 2-3 times higher incision rates than unrelated-streams or paleo-streams to formation of lava plateau did. These results suggest that incision rate in the study area was greatly influenced by formation of lava plateau and resultant geomorphic avulsion with rearrangements of stream.

한탄강의 지류인 영평천 하류에는 T4면에서 T1면까지 4단의 단구 지형면이 확인된다. 이 일대에는 신생대 제4기에 영평천의 하구로부터 약 4.5km까지 용암류가 역류하여 용암댐에 의한 고호소가 형성되었다. 본 논문은 성동리에서 궁평리까지의 영평천 하류에 분포하는 단구면의 퇴적층에 대한 층서 및 퇴적물 분석과 OSL 연대측정을 통하여 단구지형의 형성과정을 검토하였다. 가장 오래된 T4면은 용암대지 하부에 위치한 고호소 이전의 하성층이다. T3면과 T2면은 $3{\~}4m$ 이상의 두꺼운 모래층으로 이루어져 있고, 그 하부에는 역층이 존재하며, 상부 모래층은 내부에 수평의 점토층이 교호하고 있어, 용암댐 고호소 상태에서 이루어진 호성단구로 파악된다. T1면은 하상 비고가 가장 낮고 퇴적물이 신선한 것으로 보아서 용암댐 개석 이후에 형성된 하성층으로 보인다. T3면에서 실시된 OSL 연대측정의 결과, 퇴적층의 형성시기는 약 $3{\~}4$만년 전으로 측정되어, 이 일대는 용암댐 형성이후 3만년 전까지 호소 상태였던 것으로 추정된다.
