In this study, sediment cores from unvegetated tidal flats in the Hampyeong Bay (west coastal wetland) and Dongdae Bay (south coastal wetland) were sampled, the blue carbon stock in the sediments was calculated, and the characteristics of the blue carbon stock were analyzed based on particle size of the sediments. The sediments in the Hampyeong Bay tidal flat had large particle size and low mud content, and the Dongdae bay tidal flat had small particle size and high mud content. The organic carbon content and blue carbon stock in the sediments were higher in the Dongdae tidal flat than in the Hampyeong Bay tidal flat. As a result of the regression function, in both the Hampyeong Bay and Dongdae Bay tidal flats, the sediments had the smaller particle size and higher mud contents the higher the organic carbon content and blue carbon stock. The sediments with smaller particle size had the larger specific surface area, so were feasible to adsorb and store more organic matters.

신두리 사구지대에서 30여년 동안의 항공사친을 분석하여 지표피복상태의 변화와 전사구열과 미피복사구를 중심으로 사구지형의 변화패턴을 분석하였다. 연구결과 삼림사구의 면적은 지속적으로 증가한 반면 미 피복사구의 면적은 감소하였다. 또한 전사구열의 위치는 북부에서 방조제 축조 이후에 전진하였으나 사구지대 중앙부에서는 약 80m 후퇴하였다. 2차 사구 지대의 미피복사구는 면적 감소와 함께 전면부가 침식되어 육지쪽으로 이동하는 패턴을 나타냈다. 이러한 지표피복변화와 지형변화는 신두리 사구지대가 조림사업이나 해안개발과 같은 인위적인 행위에 의해 영향을 받는 것과 동시에 신두리 사구지대로 유입하는 모래양이 점차 감소하면서 식생에 의해 미피복사구가 정착되는 과정에 있음을 의미한다.

This preliminary study on the changes of macrobenthic assemblages in experimental sediment fences was conducted as a part of tidal marsh restoration project. Intertidal sediment fences were designed to increase the efficiency of trapping sediments on unvegetated tidal flats in order to raise sediment elevation and to allow colonization of intertidal vegetation. Although increment of soil surface level was not observed over the first three months of the study, it was possible to obtain some effects of the sediment fence. Three months later, the particle sizes of the surface sediment at experimental plots became much finer compared to unfenced areas on the natural mudflats located in the same tide level as that of the plots. The difference was much greater on the plot with drainage canals than on the plot without ones. Species diversity of the experimental plots became much higher than that of natural sites. Perinereis aibuhitensis and Glauconome chinensis which were absent from initial community appeared with high density in the plot with drainage canals. Those species were significantly different in abundance between the experimental plot and the natural mudflat. Changes in species composition were not detected in another experimental plot without drainage canals.

산지유역에서 토사공급과 이동에 관한 문제는 동적지형학뿐만 아니 수문학적 순환의 입장에서 매우 중요하다. 토사유출 자연의 개변정도등 지형학적 요인에 크게 지배된다. 본 연구에서는 강우시 자연의 개변정도가 서로 다른 유역에서 유출되는 부류토량을 비교하여 부류토사 유출과정과 메타니즘을 알아 보았다. 강우강도가 유사한 30mm의 비가 내렸을때 채석장이 분포하고 있는 인공개변유역의 부유토사농도는 최고 27,000mg/l인 반면, 백연유역의 부유토사농도는 270mg/l에 불과해 100배 정도의 농도차이가 나타났다. 또 인공개역중에서도 인공개변도에 따라 최대부유토사양도 6,400mg/l에서 27,000mg/l까지 다양하게 관측되었다. 일반적으로 부유토사 공급원은 자연유역의 경우 하상, 하안, 그리고 하도주변하도입이며, 인공개변유역은 사면등의 하도외 지역이다.

Studies on carbon flux in the oceans have been highlighted in recent years due to increasing awareness about climate change, but the coastal ecosystem remains one of the unexplored fields in this regard. In this study, the dynamics of carbon flux in a vegetative coastal ecosystem were examined by an evaluation of net and gross ecosystem production (NEP and GEP) and $CO_2$ exchange rates (net ecosystem exchange, NEE). To estimate NEP and GEP, community production and respiration were measured along different habitat types (eelgrass and macroalgal beds, shallow and deep sedimentary, and deep rocky shore) at Gwangyang Bay, Korea from 20 June to 20 July 2007. Vegetative areas showed significantly higher ecosystem production than the other habitat types. Specifically, eelgrass beds had the highest daily GEP ($6.97{\pm}0.02g\;C\;m^{-2}\;d^{-1}$), with a large amount of biomass and high productivity of eelgrass, whereas the outer macroalgal vegetation had the lowest GEP ($0.97{\pm}0.04g\;C\;m^{-2}\;d^{-1}$). In addition, macroalgal vegetation showed the highest daily NEP ($3.31{\pm}0.45g\;C\;m^{-2}\;d^{-1}$) due to its highest P : R ratio (2.33). Furthermore, the eelgrass beds acted as a $CO_2$ sink through the air-seawater interface according to NEE data, with a carbon sink rate of $0.63mg\;C\;m^{-2}\;d^{-1}$. Overall, ecosystem production was found to be extremely high in the vegetated systems (eelgrass and macroalgal beds), which occupy a relatively small area compared to the unvegetated systems according to our conceptual diagram of a carbon-flux box model. These results indicate that the vegetative ecosystems showed significantly high capturing efficiency of inorganic carbon through coastal primary production.
