Mechanisms of competition between two canopy algae and an understory alga were investigated by a field manipulative experiment using artificial thalli. The study was carried out in the upper intertidal zone at Nudibranch Point in Vancouver Island, British Columbia, Canada, where two fucoids, Fucus gardneri and Pelvetiopsis limitata, and a turf red alga, Mazzaella cornucopiae, were dominant in the algal community. The experiment was designed to test three hypotheses, shading, whiplash, and allelopathy, imposed by potential fucoid effects on M. cornucopiae. Only the shading effect was significant, indicating that adult fucoid thalli reduced. M. cornucopiae biomass underneath the fucoids. Results indicated that reversal of competitive dominance existed between F. gardneri and M. cornucopiae depending on the life history stage of the competitors. By including the turf alga's effects on the fucoids, the well-balanced and non-hierarchical interaction networks among the major macroalgae support the high likelihood of species coexistence in the community.

Three dominant rocky intertidal macroalgae, the fucoids Fucus gardneri and Pelvetiopsis limitata (Phaeophyta) and the red alga Mazzaella cornucopiae (= Iridaea cornucopiae) on the west coast of Vancouver Island, British Columbia, Canada were used in a series of field experiments to examine interspecific interactions. These experiments showed complex patterns which included an interchange of negative (inhibition) and positive (facilitation) interactions depending on neighbor distance. Less fucoid recruitment occurred in the plots with greater percent cover of a turfforming red alga, M. cornucopiae. However, experimentally removing Mazzaella turf (the turf was considered to be "blocking" fucoid recruits or "shading" growing recruits) did not increase recruitment. This result indicated that there may be another factor(s) involved in the survivorship of juvenile fucoids in the turf-removed plots. Morphological differences in adult plants between Mazzaella and the two fucoids resulted in another type of interaction; these began when fucoids successfully settled and grew nearby or within the red algal turf. By monitoring microhabitat at the individual plant level for two years, I found that survivorship of fucoid recruits showed different species-specific patterns. The patterns also varied as the microhabitat changed from Mazzaella turf edge to open space. For F. gardneri, longevity of P.limitata at all distances tested was similar. A reason for greater longevity of F. gardneri individuals at edge microhabitats may be that these sites have one side open to light and nutrients and another site that buffers them from desiccation and wave impact. In the Mazzaella-Fucus interaction, neighbor distance was a key factor in determining whether the outcome of the interaction would be competition or facilitation (or protection). This study provides experimental evidence that detectable biological interactions occur in this upper intertidal algal community where physical conditions are usually severe, and also indicates the importance of small scale examination in understanding macroalgal interactions in intertidal habitats.

본 연구는 아직 국내에서 보고된 바 없는 조류에 의한 잔디 병 발생 가능성에 대한 연구로, 2008년 7월 경기지역 골프장내 켄터키 블루그래스가 식재된 티잉그라운드에서 흑갈색 얼룩 반점병을 일으킨 잎조직이 발견되면서 조류에 의한 잔디 병 발생 요인과 대책을 조사하였다. 1. 켄터키 블루그래스의 흑갈색 반점 염조직으로부터 다수의 남조류(blue-green algae)가 관찰되었고, 흑갈색 반점이 형성 부위의 엽몸, 엽귀, 그리고 엽집에서 남조류가 다수 발견되었으며, 이병조직 이외의 개체내 건전부위와 줄기에서도 남조류 파편이 발견되었다. 발견된 남조류는 Oscillatoria 계통이 많았다. 2. 잔디밭에서 남조류는 토양 내 뿌리나 지제부에서 관찰되는데, 이번 관찰시에는 켄터키 블루그래스의 흑갈색 얼룩반점 병반부위인 상단 엽조직에서 남조류가 관찰되었다. 또한 이병조직 주위의 건전한 부위에서도 작은 파편형태의 남조류들이 발견되었다. 이것은 현재까지 식물조직 내 남조류의 이동경로에 대하여 알려진 바가 없지만 조직 내에서 남조류의 이동 가능성도 있다. 3. 흑갈색 얼룩반점이 형성된 켄터키 블루그래스 뿐만 아니라 황화현상이 발생한 벤트그래스 퍼팅그린의 잔디 잎에서도 남조류가 관찰되었으므로, 향후 초종에 따른 조류의 영향에 대한 세부연구가 수행되어져 야 할 것이다. 4. 약제처리로 조류 억제와 흑갈색 얼룩 반점 경감효과를 가져왔는데 프로피코나졸이 가장 우수하였고 이프로디온과 아족시스트로 빈 순으로 조류 억제가 관찰되었다. 6. 특히 고온 다습한 여름철에 조류 방제가 어렵고 적절한 조류억제제를 선택하기가 쉽지 않다. 이에 따라, 조류에 대한 일반적 관리에 머무르기보다는 더 적극적인 방제 방안 및 사전 예방 관리를 강구하여야 할 것이다. 6. 끝으로 향후 조류의 잔디 조직 내 이동 및 감염 경로를 규명하고자 하는 지속적인 연구가 진행되어야 할 것이다.

Marine algal flora and community structure of medicinal seaweeds were examined at Kkotji of Taean Peninsula, Korea from May 2005 to January 2006. Seventy-nine seaweeds including 42 medicinal algae and one marine plant were identified. Sargassum thunbergii was the representative alga occurred at all seasons and shore levels. The dominant medicinal seaweeds were perennial S. thunbergii, Neorhodomela aculeata, and Corallina pilulifera, and ephemeral Monostroma grevillei, Porphyra yezoensis, and Ulva pertusa. Their vertical distribution were N. aculeata – P. yezoensis, M. grevillei, and U. pertusa – C. pilulifera from high to low intertidal zone. The average biomass of medicinal seaweeds varied from 34.17 g m–2 in spring to 56.41 g m–2 in summer. At Kkotji shore, the opportunistic species (Enteromorpha, Ulva, and Cladophora) and turf-forming algae (Caulacanthus okamurae and Gelidium divaricatum) were easily observed. Such fast growing ESG II (ecological state group) was 87.50% and slow growing perennial algae, ESG I was only 12.15%. Also, diversity index (H’) and dominance index (DI) indicate that the seaweed community of Kkotji is unstable. Therefore, Kkotji rocky shore should be more protected from human activities such as turbulence and eutrophication in order to maintain species diversity and abundance of medicinal seaweeds.

Macroalgae are important primary producers in marine ecosystem. They don't only play an important role as bioindicators but also provide economic resources for humans. Seasonal and vertical variations in seaweed species composition and biomass were examined to determine the ecological status of seaweed beds around Udo, near Jeju Island. We obtained samples at two sites in the high-intertidal to subtidal zones using the quadrat method between June 2010 and May 2011. A total of 262 species were collected, including 31 green, 61 brown, and 170 red algae. The composition of algal species revealed a decrease in species growing in cold water in comparison with the list 20 years ago. The macroalgal mean biomass (g wet wt $m^{-2}$) was 3,476 g and 2,393 g from the two sites, respectively. Ecklonia cava had the greatest biomass at both sites. The seasonal dominant species by biomass at site 1 from the low-intertidal to 1-3 m depth of the subtidal zone was mostly comprised of thick-leathery form, such as Sargassum hemiphyllum, S. coreanum, and Ecklonia cava, whereas site 2 was comprised of the turf form, such as Chondrophycus intermedius, Chondracanthus intermedius, Dictyopteris prolifera, and Gelidium elegans. The current ecological status of the seaweed community in Udo is stable based on diversity and dominance indices.

A new encrusting red alga was found growing abundantly on glass debris items that drifted ashore along the coasts of Oregon and Washington. These included discarded fluorescent tubes, incandescent light bulbs, capped liquor bottles, and ball-shaped fishing-net floats. Field collections and unialgal cultures of the alga revealed that it consisted of two morphological phases: a young loosely aggregated turf and a mature consolidated mucilaginous crust. The turf phase consisted of a basal layer of globose cells that produced erect, rarely branched, uniseriate to multiseriate filaments up to $500{\mu}m$ long with closely spaced cells lacking pit-plugs. These filaments expanded in size from their bases to their tips and released single cells as spores. At maturity, a second phase of growth occurred that produced a consolidated crust, up to $370{\mu}m$ thick. It consisted of a basal layer of small, tightly appressed ellipsoidal-to-elongate cells that generated a mucilaginous perithallial matrix containing a second type of filament with irregularly spaced cells often undergoing binary division. At the matrix surface, the original filaments continued to grow and release spores but often also eroded. Individual cells, examined using confocal microscopy and SYBR Green staining, were found to contain a central nucleus, a single highly lobed peripheral chloroplast without a pyrenoid, and numerous chloroplast nucleoids. Morphological data from field and culture isolates and molecular data (rbcL, psbA, and SSU) show that this alga is a new genus and species which we name Viator vitreocola, "a traveller on glass."

The mid-eastern coast of Korea is located at the boundary between cold and warm currents, which causes changes in the distribution and composition of marine organisms in response to fluctuations in the marine environment. To understand the seasonal changes in the seaweed community, we investigated its species composition, biomass, coverage, and frequency from November 2022 to August 2023. A total of 45 species (7 green, 18 brown, and 20 red algae) were found in the study area. In the intertidal zone, the number of species decreased from autumn to summer; the biomass peaked during winter (471.94 g wet weight m^-2). Seaweed groups were the dominant functional groups, which were coarsely branched, filamentous, and sheet-like during autumn, winter, spring, and summer. The morpho-functional group was dominated by turf species. In the subtidal zone, the number of species increased during autumn to spring, whereas the biomass peaked during spring (655.27 g wet weight m^-2). The functional group was dominated by coarsely branched species throughout all four seasons, whereas the morpho-functional group was dominated by canopy species. Consequently, changes in the biomass of brown and red algae are recognized as key drivers of seasonal changes in seaweed communities.

Seaweed community of the sub tidal rocky habitats along the coast of Geumo Archipelago in the central South Sea of Korea is described. This area is characterized by archipelago in which islets are separated by shallow bottom sediments (primary, muddy sand), and turbidity is generally high due to the resuspension of bottom sediments. The hard substrata available for algal attachment are limited to less than 10 m in depth. Thirty sites were randomly chosen along the coast from August 2003 to September 2003 and a 50 m long transect was established at each site. The transect began at a depth of 1 m and ended at the depth of 9 m. The percent cover of all species other than crustose coralline algae was estimated at 2 m depth intervals along the transect using a 0.25 m$^2$ PVC quadrat with 25 squares. Thirty-six species were identified including 6 Chlorophyta, 10 Phaeophyta and 20 Rhodophyta. Species with more than 5% mean bottom cover were Gelidium amansii, Corallina pilulifera, Amphiroa dilatata and Carpopeltis cornea, which formed dense turf-forming algal assemblages at 1-5 m depth. At all sites except S11-S15 located in the western coast of Sorido, bottom covers of seaweed species at the depth deeper than 7 m were less than 6%. The lower limit of algal assemblages was 9 m in depth. We speculate that the limited water clarity and vertical extent of hard substrata available for the settlement of seaweed species are the direct cause of reducing the diversity, abundance and distributional extent of algal assemblages in the area.

잔디는 공익적 기능, 오락 및 휴양 그리고 미적인 측면에서 인간에게 다양한 이점을 제공한다. 잔디병해는 골프장, 운동장, 공원, 잔디재배지 등에 피해를 일으키는 주요 원인이며 이를 방제하기 위하여 막대한 비용이 소요된다. 한국의 잔디병해 연구는 아직 다른 분야에 비하여 관심이 낮은 편이지만 잔디병해에 대한 연구의 필요성은 매우 높다고 본다. 본 연구에서는 지금까지 우리나라에서 이루어진 잔디병 관련 연구 결과들을 분석하고, 국내 잔디병 연구사를 정리하여 앞으로의 잔디병리 분야의 발전방향을 고찰하고자 한다. 연구논문은 국내학술지와 한국교육학술정보원에서 제공하는 논문탐색 시스템을 이용하여 잔디병과 관련된 논문을 수집, 분석하였다. 국내 잔디병과 관련된 논문은 약 80여 편이 한국잔디학회지에 게재되어 전체 논문의 50%를 차지하였다. 이 중 잔디병 방제에 대한 논문이 전체논문 대비 50%를 차지하였다. 잔디병해 별로는 라이족토니아마름병(large patch)에 대한 연구가 36%로 가장 많았으며 다음으로 동전마름병(dollar spot) 18%, 피티움마름병(Pythium blight) 10%, 설부병(Typhular blight) 8% 순으로 나타났다. 국내에서 처음으로 보고된 잔디병은 15종류이다. 잔디병 방제를 위하여 국내에 등록된 약제의 수는 542개로 갈색잎마름병, 녹병, 누른잎마름병, 동전마름병, 라이족토니아마름병, 설부소립균핵병, 여름잎마름병, 탄저병, 피티움마름병, 흰가루병과 조류에 등록되어 있다. 향후 우리나라에서 미보고된 잔디병해의 학문적 탐색과 병명의 정립이 필요하고, 효과적인 병방제를 위하여 잔디병에 대한 생리, 생태학적인 연구와 더불어 친환경적 방제 방법의 개발이 필요할 것으로 본다.
