Abstract

This study was carried out to assess the improved aspects of ecological conditions in a small stream, where eco-technological restorations such as gabion-crib mattress arrangement and soil-arresting wicker fence work had already been made up to stabilize the physically and ecologically damaged streambank. Six metrics by diatoms including species richness, Shannon diversity, saprobic index by DAIpo, percent sensitive diatoms, percent of Achnanthes minutissima, dominant index were analysed to assess the ecological integrity of small stream. By generalizing the changed values of six metrics on the stream flow from upper point(ST.1) to lower point(ST.3), it was found that the effect value of ecological condition improvement went up to as much as 33.9% on the average. The results suggested that eco-technological restoration treatment applied to this study is considerably effective for preserving the ecological integrity of small stream.

본 연구는 샛강 기슭 훼손부의 물리적, 생태적 안정화를 도모하고자 돌망태틀놓기공법 및 버드나무울짱얽기공법을 시공한 구간에서 생태환경 개선 효과를 검증하기 위하여 수행되었다. 샛강의 생태적 건강도 평가를 위해 규조군집의 종풍부도, 종다양도지수, 수질오염도지수, 오염 민감종의 구성비, Achnanthes minutissima의 구성비, 우점도지수의 6개 메트릭을 활용하였다. 구간 상류의 유입부(ST. 1)와 구간 내 지점(ST. 2) 및 하류 유출부(ST. 3)를 대상으로 6개 메트릭의 변화값을 종합하면 평균 33.9%의 높은 생태환경 개선 효과를 확인할 수 있었다. 이 결과는 본 조사에서 적용된 샛강의 생태공학적 안정화기술이 하천의 생태학적 건강도를 보존하는 데 있어 효과적임을 시사해주는 것으로 평가할 수 있었다.
