초록

수심이 얕고 부영양 호소인 L. Kasumigaura를 대상으로 퇴적층으로부터 유기물 용출특성을 조사하였다. 퇴적물의 함수율은 약 80%이상을 차지하고 있었으며 공극수의 DOC농도는 표층에서 높고 깊어질수록 감소하는 경향을 나타냈다. 특히 조사기간중 공극수의 DOC농도(104mg C/l)가 크게 증가하여 공극수로부터 수체로 용출 가능성이 높을 것으로 추정되었다. DOC 용출실험결과, 호기조건에서는 Labile-DOC (L-DOC)용출이 거의 관측되지 않았고 Refractory-DOC (R-DOC)만 관측되었으며, 혐기조건에서는 L-DOC와 R-DOC 모두 용출되는 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 결과는 퇴적층의 상부수층에 DO가 충분히 유지되면 L-DOC는 용출되어도 호기성 bacteria에 의해 쉽게 분해되기 매문에 R-DOC만 용출되는 것으로 조사되었으며, 혐기조건하에서는 혐기성 bacteria의 유기물 분해능력의 감소로 L-DOC와 R-DOC모두 용출되는 것으로 나타났다. 결과적으로 내부생성기원의 유기물중 퇴적층으로부터 R-DOC 용출은 수체의 유기물 농도를 증가시키는 주요 원인으로 나타났으며, 수중 유기물의 대부분을 차지하고 있는 R-DOC는 유기물순환에 중요한 역할을 담당하고 있다는 사실이 확인되었다.

This study was conducted to estimate the internal dissolved organic carbon (DOC) loading from sediment in eutrophic shallow Lake Kasumigaura. Contents of water and organic carbon were about 80% and 6.3% with depth in the sediment, respectively. The highest DOC concentration in porewater (104 mg C/l) was observed in September suggesting that the porewater could play an important role as an internal loading of DOC. Results of DOC release experiments showed that the labile-DOC (L-DOC) release was not detected in the oxic condition, while refractory-DOC(R-DOC) release was detected. The L-DOC and R-DOC release rates in the anoxic codition ranged from 14.5${\sim}$ 48.6, 14.4 ${\sim}$27.3 mgC $m^{-2}$ $d^{-2}$, respectively. The current study showed that L-DOC released in the oxic condition was rapidly utilized by aerobic bacteria, in contrast, L-DOC and R-DOC released in anoxic codition were slowly utilized by anaerobic bacteria. These results suggested that L-DOC and R-DOC were closely related to sediment release and most of the R-DOC released could be an important source of DOC in eutrophic lakes during summer. Therefore, R-DOC pool should be added as one of the important energy source for microbial-based aquatic food webs in eutrophic lakes.
