Densities and composition of phytoplankton and zooplankton, concentrations of particulate organic carbon, particulate organic nitrogen, and particulate inorganic matter were determined in the coastal area of Ko-ri during one year. There are peaks of densities of plankton organisms in summer, autumn, and spring Concentrations of particulate organic carbon ranged from 35 to 3,785 mg/㎥ (averaging 868mg/㎥ ), particulate organic nitrogen ranged from 4.4 to 158mg/㎥ (averaging 45mg/㎥), inorganic suspended matter ranged from 0.6 to 11.6 mg/L (averaging 5.7mg/L), and the carbon-nitrogen ratios of the suspended matter were varied from 0.5 to 231(averaging 35), with each seasonal cycle. The phytoplankton density and particulate organic carbon were possitively correlated from March to November, negatively from December to February, and the zooplankton dinsity and particulate organic nitrogen were well correlated.

To understand the composition, quantity, and quality of Suspended Particulate Organic Matter (SPOM) in the Gangneung Namdae Stream, Korea, we examined spatiotemporal variations in water temperature, salinity, chlorophlly a (Chl a), Particulate Organic Carbon (POC) and nitrogen (PON), and carbon stable isotope (δ¹³C) of SPOM at six stations in June (pre-monsoon), July (monsoon), and September (post-monsoon) 2017. With increasing precipitation, the average POC and C/N values increased significantly in July than in June. In September, the values decreased with decreasing precipitation. The δ¹³C values showed irregular spatiotemporal fluctuations among the stations and periods, thereby suggesting a greater contribution of autochthonous organic matter to the pool of SPOM than that of allochthonous organic matter derived from upstream. In addition, the large and irregular changes in POC, C/N ratio, C:Chl a, and δ¹³C compared to that of PON were observed for all periods among the stations, indicating a serial discontinuity of the stream. Our results suggest that the Gangneung Namdae Stream is significantly influenced by the increase in freshwater discharge caused by heavy rainfalls during the summer monsoon and post-monsoon periods.

2003년부터 2006년 사이의 새만금 방조제 내측 표층 해역에서 입자성 부유물질(suspended particulate matter), 입자성 유기탄소(particulate organic carbon) 그리고 용존 유기탄소(dissolved organic carbon)의 분포 변화를 조사하였다. 하천을 통해 새만금 방조제 내측으로 유입되는 입자성 물질과 유기탄소는 대부분 풍수기인 여름철에 집중 되었고, 이는 2006년 4월 최종 물막이 공사 완료 후 폐쇄 환경이 된 새만금 내측 해역에 많은 양의 유기물 부하가 단기간에 집중될 수 있음을 시사하였다. 한편, 2003년 이후 제4호 방조제 완공으로 막혀진 만경강 하구역에서 새만금 방조제에 이르는 해역에서 입자성 물질과 유기탄소의 표층 농도가 증가하는 것이 관찰되었다. 특히 부영양화(eutrophication)로 인한 식물 플랑크톤의 증가로 입자성유기탄소를 비롯, 생물기원의 유기탄소가 증가하였다. 이러한 표층의 과도한 입자성 유기탄소의 증가는 향후 저층 퇴적 환경으로 침전되었을 경우 용존 산소 고갈에 큰 영향을 미칠 것으로 판단된다.

This research investigates the runoff characteristics of refractory organic matters from Kyongan river watershed. Samples were taken 27 times during dry season, 4 times during rain events and analyzed into flow rate, Dissolved Organic Carbon (DOC), Particulate Organic Carbon (POC), Refractory Dissolved Organic Carbon (R-DOC), Refractory Particulate Organic Carbon (R-POC). R-DOC during dry season was the lowest in winter and showed a rising tendency in spring and R-POC changes less than R-DOC. The mass loading of Refractory Total Organic Carbon (R-TOC) in summer takes approximately 80% of 1 year mass loading. During rainy season, EMC of R-DOC was similar to R-DOC in dry season. But maximum EMC of R-POC was 12 times higher than that of R-POC in dry season. Results of the survey show that enhanced management of R-DOC in dry season and R-POC in rainy season is needed.

Organic carbon and nitrogen contents in suspended particulate matter (SPM) and surface sediments in seawater were measured in the Northern East China Sea in summer. The distribution of particulate organic carbon(POC) and particulate organic nitrogen(PON) were in the ranges of 54~481㎍/ℓ and 6~85㎍/ℓ, respectively, with relatively high level of concentrations in the western and southern sides of the study area. Also, there has been a significantly positive correlation between POC and PON, gradually increasing toward the deeper range of depth. Average C:N ratios of POC and PON of SPM were 6 in study area. The ratios of POC to PON of SPM increased as the range of depth increased, indicating nitrogen decomposes more rapidly than carbon and is considered to be influenced by the input of detritus from surface sediments. The distribution of total organic matter(TOM), total organic carbon(TOC) and total organic nitrogen(TON) in surface sediments were in the ranges of 3.1~9.6%, 0.282~0.635% and 0.022~0.069%, respectively, with relatively low range in the western and northern sides of the study area. The ratio of TOC to TON of surface sediments were in the range of 9.8~17.4(average of 13), strongly indicating the active role of the input from the terrestrial organic pollutants.

Organic matters budget in Lake Hoengseong were monthly investigated from April 2009 to November 2009. The intense rainfall occurred at between July and August and the hydrological factors were highly varied during the rainfall season. By the concentrated rainfall, the elevation, influx and efflux were sharply increased and the turbid water was also flowed into the middle water column in Lake. The inflow of turbid water increased the nutrient concentrations in water body and this appears to stimulate of phytoplankton regard as the primary productivity of influx of organic matter. Monthly average concentration of dissolved organic carbon (DOC) was generally higher than the particulate organic carbon (POC) concentration in Lake, but Temporal and spatial variation of POC concentration was higher than DOC and the maximum POC concentration was recorded in surface water in August, had the highest phytoplankton biomass. Organic carbon concentration in inflow site was rarely changed during the dry season, but the concentration was rapidly increased by the initial intense rainfall. In organic matters budget, the most of the organic matters was inflowed from the inflow site at rainfall season. Especially, the influx of allochthonous organic matters during the intense rainfall was 72.4% in the total influx organic matters.

To assess the relative contribution of bacterial and phytoplankton biomasses to particulate organic matter (POM) in the water column, microbial abundance and biomass were from two transects in the western channel of the Korea Strait in 1996. Bacterial abundance had a mean value of $5.9{\times}10^5$ cells/ml and chlorophyll-a averaged 0.14 ${\mu}g/l$. Bacterial abundance in the Korea Strait showed a positive relationship with chlorophyll-a concentration, while the distribution of POM did not covary with chlorophyll-a. Particulate organic carbon (POC) and nitrogen (PON) concentrations were greater in August than in October. Bacterial carbon (POC) and nitrogen (PON) concentrations were greater in August than in October. Bacterial carbon and nitrogen biomasses were 7.29 ${\mu}gC/l$ and 1.24 ${\mu}gN/l$, respectively, during the study periods. Bacterial biomass was larger in October than in August due to the autumn phytoplankton bloom. Phytoplankton biomass based on chlorophyll-a was 7.67 ${\mu}gC/l$ for carbon and 1.10${\mu}gN/l$l for nitrogen. The ratio of bacterial carbon (BC) to phytoplankton carbon (Cp) averaged 0.95 in the Korea Strait in 1996. Bacteria may play a more significant role in the dynamics of POM than phytoplankton do in August, with BC/Cp ratio of 1.26. The ratio of BC to Cp increased with a decrease in chlorophyll-a concentration. Averaged over all the samples in both cruises, the contribution of microbial biomass to POC and PON was about 43% and 51%, respectively. Bacterial assemblage constituted a significant fraction of POC (21%) and PON (27%). Phytoplankton accounted for 22% of POC and 24% of PON. Microbial biomass played a more important role in the dynamics of POC and PON in October than in August due to a significant increase in microbial biomass in the southern transect (transect-B) in October by the autumn phytoplankton bloom. This study showed that marine microbes may constitute a significant part in the reservoir of POM in the Korea Strait.

A three-dimensional ecological model (EMT -3D) was applied to Nonylphenol in Tokyo Bay. EMT -3D was calibrated with data obtained in the study area. The simulated results of dissolved Nonylphenol were in good agreement with the observed values, with a correlation coefficient(R) of 0.7707 and a coefficient of determination (R2) of 0.5940. The results of sensitivity analysis showed that biodegradation rate and bioconcentration factor are most important factors for dissolved Nonylphenol and Nonylphenol in phytoplankton, respectively. In the case of Nonylphenol in particulate organic carbon, biodegradation rate and partition coefficient were important factors. Therefore, the parameters must be carefully considered in the modeling. The mass balance results showed that standing stocks of Nonylphenol in water, in particulate organic carbon and in phytoplankton are $8.60\times 10^5\;g,\;2.19\times 10^2\;g\;and\;3.78\times 10^0\;g$ respectively. With respect to the flux of dissolved Nonylphenol, biodegradation in the water column, effluent to the open sea and partition to particulate organic carbon were $6.02\times10^3\;g/day,\;6.02\times10^2\;g/day\;and\;1.02\times10^1\;g/day$, respectively.

2003년 8월과 2004년 9월 제주도 남서부해역과 중국 연안해역을 대상으로 실시된 본 연구는 용존무기영양염류와 용존 및 입자유기탄소의 분포 특성을 조사하였다. 하계에 동중국해의 영양염의 분포 형태는 수괴 및 식물플랑크톤의 영향을 받은 것으로 밝혀졌다. 하계에 동중국해내 수괴들은 중국의 연안해역을 제외하고 상하수직혼합이 잘 일어나지 않아 표층수에는 영양염의 유입이 감소하고, 저층수에는 표층에서 유입되는 유기물이 분해되어 영양염의 축적이 일어나 높은 농도를 나타내고 있었다. Chlorophyll a의 농도가 높은 해역에서 영양염의 농도가 낮은 값을 보였으며, Chlorophyll a의 농도가 감소하는 수심이하에서 영양염의 농도가 증가함을 보여 높은 생물활동에 의한 무기영양염류 등이 조절되고 있는 것으로 생각된다. 연구해역내 용존유기탄소의 분포는 염분이나 수온에 대해 다소 산만한 분포를 보여 수괴에 따른 상관관계가 없는 것으로 조사되었고, 양자강 영향 정점에서 $100{\mu}M$이상의 높은 값을 보인 반면, 제주도 남서부 해역에서는 낮은 농도를 보였는데, 이것은 양자강 유출수가 동중국해 용존유기탄소의 공급원으로 작용하고 있는 것으로 사료된다. 연구해역 입자유기탄소의 분포특성은 양자강 유출수가 영향을 미치는 중국연안해역에서 평균 $9.23{\mu}M$로 가장 높은 농도를 보였으며, 대마난류수의 영향을 받는 제주도 남동부해역에서 $3.04{\mu}M$로 낮은 농도를 보였으며, 중앙부해역에서 $7.23{\mu}M$의 입자유기탄소량을 나타내, 양자강 유출수가 자생적 기원이외의 입자유기탄소 공급원으로 작용하고 있는 것으로 사료된다. 제주도 남서부해역에서의 입자유기탄소는 Chlorophyll a의 농도와 높은 상관성을 보여 자생적 기원으로 볼 수 있지만 그 해역에서의 염분도가 저염(30%o 이하)을 나타내고 있어 자생적 기원보다는 육상기원에 의한 영향으로 생각되어진다.
