This study describes time lag responses between hydrological variables and phytoplankton biomass in a regulated river system, the lower Nakdong River in South Korea. The lower Nakdong is a typical flow-controlled lotic system, and its limnological characteristics are influenced by climatic variation such as monsoons and summer typhoons. Mean rainfall in the area during summer is about 1,200 mm, which comprises >60% of annual rainfall. Our results show that the regulation of flow in the Nakdong by multi-purpose dams from 1995 to 2004 affected phytoplankton dynamics. Diatom blooms occurred in winter, when the limited discharge allowed for proliferation of the phytoplankton community. Using multiple regression analysis, we detected significant time-delayed relationships between hydrological variables and phytoplankton biomass. These results may be useful for water resource managers, and suggest that 'smart flow' control would improve water quality in large regulated river systems of the Republic of Korea.

Difference of Dissolved Inorganic Phosphorus (DIP), Dissolved Inorganic Nitrogen (DIN) and Dissolved Silicate (DSi) budgets in the Bohai Sea between 1982 and 1992 related the decrease of the Yellow River discharge is discussed on the basis of observed data. The estuarine circulation in the Bohai Sea had been weakened from 1982 to 1992 due to the decrease of the Yellow River discharge and the average residence time of fresh water had become longer. DIN concentration increased but DIP and DSi concentrations decreased from 1982 to 1992 in the Bohai Sea. Primary production was regulated mainly by water temperature and DIN concentration in 1982 but it was regulated mainly by DIP concentration in 1992. Primary production was larger than decomposition plus bottom release and nitrogen fixation was larger than denitrification in 1982. However, decomposition plus bottom release was larger than primary production and denitrification was larger than nitrogen fixation in 1992 in the Bohai Sea.

The complex ecological researches were made in the broad-leaved forest zone of Central Europe in nature reserves and national parks located on the banks of the river (hydrology, vegetation, soils, unconfined ground waters). The natural conditions of terrestrial ecosystems and natural sites were compared along the course of the rivers. The significant negative influence of low-dammed (low-confined hydrotechnic) construction and small reservoirs on vegetation and soils of floodplain was revealed. On the basis of analysis of mean annual water level and flow trends on the multi-years series (60-100 years) of the hydrometric stations on the rivers under consideration the significant influence of natural long-term variability of watering on vegetation dynamics in the floodplains was revealed.

To understand the effects of fluctuations in dam discharge due to river environments and phytoplankton communities, we monitored such environments and phytoplankton communities biweekly, from February 2001 to February 2002 and from February 2004 to February 2005, in the lower Han River (LHR), South Korea. The phytoplankton abundance during the dry season was approximately two times higher than that during the rainy season. In particular, fluctuations in diatom assemblages, which constituted over 70% of the total phytoplankton abundance, were affected severely by the changes in the discharge. When a large quantity of water in a dam was discharged into the LHR, the conductivity and the concentrations of total nitrogen (TN), total phosphorus (TP), and dissolved inorganic phosphorus (DIP) decreased rapidly, whereas the concentrations of suspended solids (SS), dissolved inorganic nitrogen (DIN), and dissolved silica (DSi) increased immediately. Time-delayed relationship also revealed that the dam discharge had an immediately significant negative relationship with phytoplankton abundance. On the whole, fluctuations in phytoplankton communities in the LHR were influenced much more by hydrodynamics such as dam discharge than by the availability of nutrients. Thus, the variability in these concentrations usually parallels the strength of river flow that is associated with summer rainfall, with higher values during periods of high river discharge.

지난 3년간(2000-2002), 식물플랑크톤 생체량의 역동적인 변화와 높은 투명도가 봄의 중순 기간 동안 낙동강 하류 부분에서 반복적으로 관찰되었다. 윤충류들은(Brachionus, Keratella, Polyarthra), 봄의 중순과 늦봄 기간 동안에 급격히 증가하였다. 늦봄 기간 동안 수체의 잔류시간의 중가 (약 20일 정도)와 수온의 상승시기에, $10^{\circ}C$로 부터 $20^{\circ}C$ 이상, 지각류의 증가를 나타내었다. 봄의 중순 높은 식물플랑크톤 생체량 시기 이후, 짧은 기간(약 1-2주)동안 낮은 식물플랑크톤 생체량과 높은 세키 투명도가 본 조사지점에서 나타났다. 봄 기간 동안 동물플랑크톤의 섭식률은 매우 높으며, 이러한 동물플랑크톤의 높은 섭식 활성도는 식물플랑크톤 동태를 조절하는 것으로 사료된다. 본 연구 결과는 강의 수체가 다소 정체되어 있는 봄 기간 동안 식물플랑크톤 생체량의 조절은 동물플랑크톤의 섭식에 의해 조절될 수 있음을 시사한다.

본 연구에서는 유역내 댐 건설과 하천내 식생성장으로 육역화 현상이 진행되는 내성천 환경 변화의 원인을 파악하기 위해 내성천 유역에 위치한 3개 관측소를 대상으로 2010년부터 2019년까지 관측된 수문자료와 항공사진 및 지형자료를 수집하여 수문특성에 따른 수위-유량관계 변화 및 횡단면의 침식·퇴적 변화율을 분석하였다. 또한 상류 지류인 월호교 관측소에서 인위적인 유량 조절 유무에 따른 영향을 비교하였다. 분석결과, 내청천에서는 2013년부터 2015년까지 지속적인 가뭄에 의해 홍수터에서는 식생활착 및 식생사주 면적 증가로 육역화가 진행되었고, 저수위에서는 흐름부 축소, 유속 및 하상소류력 증가로 지속적인 하상침식이 발생한 것으로 판단되었다.
