울돌목 수로에서 요각류 35개 분류군을 포함하여 총 55개 동물플랑크톤이 출현하였다. 연안종은 계절적인 종천이를 보였으며, 난류 외양성 종은 전 조사 시기에서 출현하였다. 분류군 수는 창조 시 저조에서 고조로 갈수록 증가하며 낙조 시 고조에서 저조로 갈수록 감소하였다. 따라서 울돌목 해역은 연중 외해수 영향에 따른 외양종의 유입으로 동물플랑크톤 종조성에 영향을 받는다. 전체 동물플랑크톤 현존량은 $104\sim2,717indiv.m^{-3}$의 범위를 나타내며 2003년 8월에 가장 높고 2004년 2월에 가장 낮았다. 조석주기에 따른 현존량 변화에서 11월과 2월에 시간적 변이성이 크고 불규칙적인데 반해 8월과 4월에는 비교적 규칙적인 변화 추세를 나타냈다. 8월과 4월에는 창조 및 낙조에서 조류가 가장 강한 시간에는 낮은 출현 개체수가 나타났으며, 조류가 약해질수록 개체수가 증가하여 고조 및 저조에서 개체수가 높은 특징을 보였다. Paracalanus indicus, Cirripedia nauplii, Acartia hongi등을 포함한 대부분의 우점종은 창조보다 낙조에서 평균 개체수가 대략 2배 정도 높았다. 그러나 창조 및 낙조 내에서도 개체수의 변이가 크게 나타났으며 조석주기에 따른 수온, 염분, 그리고 엽록소 a등 환경변화가 작았다. 따라서 울돌목 해역에서는 강한 조류와 지형적인 조류 속도 차에 의해 형성된 와류 등이 개체군 확산, 이동 그리고 손실에 영향을 미쳐 시간적으로 복잡하고 불규칙한 동물플랑크톤 군집을 보인다.

The climate of urban area is an unstable type with considerable seasonal variation in precipitation wind speed, and temperature and it grows worse. Besides, ozone is a serious air pollutant in most of large cities. So worldwide, some of large cities are investing in forestry options to offset their climate problems, but lack of information has hindered comparisons of urban un cost effectiveness to other options. This research intends to study the economic benefits of tree shading of 19 parking lots in UCD campus. The economic benefits of tree shading are air conditioning savings, air quality, stormwater run-off, and other benefits. Especially, this study focuses how much the economic benefit of parking lot shading has been increased from 1995 to 2003 year by aerophoto. Some data on dimensions of parking lots and the number, size, tree species, and location of trees around each parking lot was inventoried. Two aerophotos(1995,2003) were used in order to analyze the increasement of tree canopy in 19 parking lots for 8 years. However, increasing coverage of trees and managing them for healthy growth would not be sufficient for avoiding adverse impacts by future climate change. Additional measures should be followed such as an increase of energy use efficiency and development of substitute energy. For example, coverage of trees help to save cooling energy by blocking solar radiation reaching parking cars and building structures through shading, and creating cool micro-climates through evapotranspiration. They also reduce heating demand by decreasing air infiltration and heat conduction out of the interior of buildings. Proper arrangement of vegetation over the parking lots can reduce cooling and heating costs. So proper planting design around hard space paving including species selection and location can significantly save cooling and heating energy. And a reduction in car and building's heating and cooling costs results in the reduction in energy demand which causes to emissions of air pollutants. Total increased tree canopy from 1995 to 2003 is $8,470.45m^2$ and the economic benefits is US$ 5,282.10. The economic benefit of one tree has been US$ 7.21 for 8 years. And an annually increased benefit is US$ 0.9 per a tree. If this kind of study is applied to studying the economic benefits of tree canopy in parking lots of Korea, it could result in guidelines of tree planting of parking lots. Because the trees selected for planting in parking lots were not suitable for an environment, the guidelines should contain a recommended list of trees. The guidelines should propose the shading percentage of parking lot when we plan a parking lot and contain the maintenance of trees in order to maximize the economic benefits of tree canopy.

Objective: The objective of the present study was to investigate the effects of farrowing month (FM), parity and sex on the growth performance of Berkshire swine raised in alternative production systems. Methods: A total of 40 farrowing records from 27 sows and 1,258 body weight (BW) records from 274 piglets collected over a two-year period were used for the analysis. The BWs were recorded at birth, weaning (28 d), 56, 84, 112, and 140 days. Any BW not recorded on schedule was recalculated to conform the days of age among corresponding BW records, using growth curves drawn with polynomial functions whose power was determined by the number of existing observations for each individual. Results: The mean parity (${\pm}$standard deviation) of the sows was $3.42{\pm}2.14$. The sows that farrowed in June had the lowest number of total born with an average of $6.25{\pm}2.22$ piglets per sow. However, the lowest average number of piglets weaned at day 28 was found in sows that farrowed in May, as well as the highest number recorded for the stillborn piglets with an average of 2.67 piglets per sow. Moreover, the smallest increase in weight from birth to weaning occurred in piglets that were farrowed in May, which also corresponds with the average daily gain (ADG) of 0.29 kg and the last recorded weight measurement on day 140 of $41.69{\pm}1.45kg$. Contrastingly, the highest growth rate was found among pigs farrowed in June, with the largest increase in weight of 7.55 kg from birth to weaning, the highest ADG of 0.51 kg from birth to 140 day of age and the highest BW of $74.70{\pm}1.86kg$ recorded on day 140. Conclusion: Pigs farrowed in June also had the least number of piglets that died between birth and weaning. The zone of thermal comfort found in sows reared in indoor confinement systems did not improve the reproductive performance of the sows reared in an outdoor, alternative production system, while the growth performance of the piglets was improved when the ambient temperature was consistently hot or consistently cold.

Temporal (seasonal) and spatial distributions and variations of various physico-chemical factors (salinity, temperature, pH, DO, COD, SPM, POC, silicate, DIP, DIN) in surface and bottom waters were studied in the coastal environment with typical macro-tidal range and monsoonal weather condition, Gyeonggi Bay, west coast of Korea. Spacial distribution patterns of these factors were generally similar to each other, and appeared to be inversely related to the distribution pattern of salinity, suggesting that water quality of the study area was primarily controlled by the physical mixing process of Han-River freshwater with nearby coastal seawater. During flooding season, silicate- and nitrogen-rich Han River water directly flowed into offshore as far as $20\sim30\;km$ from the river mouth, probably causing serious environmental problems such as eutrophication and unusual and/or noxious algal bloom, etc. Except the surface water during summer flooding season, high concentrations of nutrients appeared generally in dry season, whereas low values in spring, possibly because of the occurrence of spring phytoplankton bloom. On the other hand, nutrient flux through the estuary seems to be primarily depending on river discharge, sewage discharge and agricultural activities, especially during the rainy season. Also, nutrients in this coastal waters are considered to be supplied from the sediments of tidal-flats, which developed extensively around the Han-River mouth, especially during fall and winter of dry and low discharge seasons, possibly due to the stirring of tidal flat sediments with highly enriched pore-water nutrients by storm. And also, COD and DIN concentrations in the study area consistently increased during the last 20 years, probably because of agricultural activities and increasing discharge of industrial and domestic wastes.

Ongoing port baseline surveys are essential for developing ballast water management procedures in order to control unwanted or potentially risky species. Seasonal distributional patterns of marine dinoflagellate Noctiluca scintillans internationally recognized as harmful species and the related environmental factors were surveyed at Incheon, Gwangyang and Ulsan seaports in Korea from 2007 to 2009. The above three seaports were chosen because of their status as the busiest in Korea and characterized by their different bioregions. Average temperature ranged from $2.08^{\circ}C$ in winter to $26.39^{\circ}C$ in summer at Incheon, $7.22^{\circ}C$ in winter to $25.77^{\circ}C$ in summer at Gwangyang, and $11.59^{\circ}C$ in winter to $21.67^{\circ}C$ in summer at Ulsan during the study period. Average salinity varied from 26.88 in winter to 31.25 in summer at Incheon, 22.83 in winter to 33.41 in summer at Gwangyang, and 30.04 in winter to 33.90 in summer at Ulsan. Noctiluca scintillans appeared consistently at all ports during the study period, indicating its eurythermal and euryhaline nature. The highest abundances (21,813 to 41,753 $inds{\cdot}m^{-3}$) of N. scintillans were observed in May 2008 and 2009 at the outer stations of Incheon port. Abundances of between 10,000 and 30,000 $inds{\cdot}m^{-3}$ were only observed at the innermost station of Ulsan in May, while abundances of between 10,000 and 40,000 $inds{\cdot}m^{-3}$ were frequently observed throughout all stations at Gwangyang during the study period, coinciding with consistently high concentration of chlorophyll-a (hereafter chl-a) ($4.32-8.24\;{\mu}g\;l^{-1}$) compared to other ports. Spatio-temporal variation of chl-a concentration was not significantly correlated with abundances of N. scintillans (p>0.01). However, relatively high chl-a concentrations were consistently recorded along with high abundances of N. scintillans throughout all stations at Gwangyang compared to other ports. Abundances of N. scintillans observed at the three surveyed ports did not significantly (p>0.01) affect the concentration of dissolved oxygen in the surface mixed layer, indicating that the species abundances were not enough to cause reduction of dissolved oxygen during the study period. Presented results indicated that the Gwangyang seaport may provide the most suitable environment for a wide range of N. scintillans blooming compared to other ports.

본 연구는 보성강 유역에 위치한 호수들에서 식물플랑크톤 군집의 시공간적 차이를 비교하고 이러한 군집 구조의 차이에 영향을 미치는 요인들을 확인하고자 2014년 3월부터 2017년 11월까지 분기별 조사를 시행하였다. 조사 결과, 보성호는 다른 호수들에 비해 식물플랑크톤의 다양성이 풍부하고 밀도 역시 높은 수준으로 확인되어 시공간적으로 큰 차이를 보였다. 또한 3월 조사에서 확인된 식물플랑크톤 군집은 다른 조사시기와 우점종을 포함한 규조류와 녹조류의 군집에서 구분되는 특성을 나타냈다. Indicator species analysis를 통해 확인된 각 그룹 간 지표종을 확인한 결과, 계절에 따른 식물플랑크톤 천이와 영양 농도에 따른 다양성 및 밀도 변화를 반영한 것으로 산출되어 호수들의 식물플랑크톤 군집이 시공간적으로 구분되었음을 나타냈다. Non-metric multidimensional scaling을 통해 보성강 유역 내 호수들의 식물플랑크톤 군집 구조에 있어 Secchi depth, 수온, 전기전도도, DO 등이 중요한 요인임을 확인하였고, 영양염을 포함한 다양한 환경요인과 함께 식물플랑크톤 군집 차이에 영향을 끼친 것으로 분석되었다.

A time-series sediment trap was deployed at 1,034 m water depth in the eastern Bransfield Strait for a complete year from December 25, 1998 to December 24, 1999. About 99% of total mass flux was trapped during an austral summer, showing distinct seasonal variation. Biogenic particles (biogenic opal, particulate organic carbon, and calcium carbonate) account for about two thirds of annual total mass flux $(49.2\;g\;m^{-2})$, among which biogenic opal flux is the most dominant (42% of the total flux). A positive relationship (except January) between biogenic opal and total organic carbon fluxes suggests that these two variables were coupled, due to the surface-water production (mainly diatoms). The relatively low $\delta^{13}C$ values of settling particles result from effects on C-fixation processes at low temperature and the high $CO_2$ availability to phytoplankton. The correspondingly low $\delta^{l5}N$ values are due to intense and steady input of nitrates into surface waters, reflecting an unlikely nitrate isotope fractionation by degree of surface-water production. The $\delta^{l5}N$ and $\delta^{l3}C$ values of sinking particles increased from the beginning to the end of a presumed phytoplankton bloom, except for anomalous $\delta^{l5}N$ values. Krill and the zooplankton fecal pellets, the most important carriers of sinking particles, may have contributed gradually to the increasing $\delta^{l3}C$ values towards the unproductive period through the biomodification of the $\delta^{l3}C$ values in the food web, respiring preferentially and selectively $^{12}C$ atoms. Correspondingly, the increasing $\delta^{l5}N$ values in the intermediate-water trap are likely associated with a switch in source from diatom aggregates to some remains of zooplankton, because organic matter dominated by diatom may be more liable and prone to remineralization, leading to greater isotopic alteration. In particular, the tendency for abnormally high $\delta^{l5}N$ values in February seems to be enigmatic. A specific species dominancy during the production may be suggested as a possible and speculative reason.

아산만에서 크기별 식물플랑크톤의 계절적인 변동과 크기 구조에 따른 식물플랑크톤과 환경인자와의 상관성을 조사하기 위해 2003년 10월부터 2004년 9월까지 매월 5개의 조사 정점에서 현장조사를 실시하였다. 조사기간 동안 전체 엽록소 $\alpha$ 농도에 대해서 크기가 큰 세포들(소형 식물플랑크톤, $>20\;{\mu}m$)은 크기가 작은 세포들(미소식물플랑크톤, $3\sim20{\mu}\;m;$ 초미세 식물플랑크톤, $<3{\mu}\;m$)보다 더 높은 점유율을 나타내었다. 특히 엽록소 a 농도가 높았던 2004년 2월부터 4월까지 크기가 큰 세포들은 전체 엽록소 $\alpha$ 대하여 80% 이상 점유율을 보였다. 식물플랑크톤 생체량이 감소했던 5월 소형식물플랑크톤에서 미소식물플랑크톤으로 크기 구조의 변동이 일어났으며, 초미세 식물플랑크톤의 생체량도 급격히 증가하였다. 겨울과 봄철동안 소형식물플랑크톤은 상류지역에서 높은 생체량 분포를 보였으며, 미소와 초미세 식물플랑크톤은 봄과 여름철 중류와 하류(정점 3, 5)에서 높은 생체량 분포를 나타내었다. 소형식물플랑크톤은 추운 계절 동안 수온과 영양염의 공급에 의해서 조절되어지는 반면에 미소와 초미세 식물플랑크톤은 따듯한 계절 동안 성층과 빛에 노출 등에 의해서 영향을 받는 것으로 판단된다.
