초록

최근 훼손된 잘피서식지의 복원이 다양한 이식방법을 통하여 시도되고 있다. 이식된 잘피는 이식시기와 이식방법에 따라 생존율과 착생기간 등이 차이를 보인다. Staple method는 잘피를 직접 식재하는 방법으로 잘피 이식에서 가장 일반적으로 이용되고 있는 방법이며, 다양한 퇴적물 환경에서 높은 생존율을 보이는 방법이다. 본 연구에서는 staple method로 이식된 잘피의 정착과정을 파악하기 위하여 초겨울에 잘피를 이식한 후, 이식된 잘피의 밀도, 형태적 특성, 생산성의 변화와 이식 장소의 환경요인을 2004년 12월부터 약 1년 동안 월별 조사하였다. 조사된 이식잘피의 생리생태학적 특성을 이식 장소 인근에 자생하고 있는 잘피 개체군과 비교하였다. 이식된 잘피는 초기 밀도 감소가 발생하지 않았으나, 잎의 폭, 엽초의 길이 등이 이식초기에 감소하여 이식개체들이 이식충격을 받은 것으로 보였다. 개체별 잎의 생산성도 이식 초기에는 자생개체들보다 현저히 낮은 값을 보이다가 약 4개월 후 이식개체와 자생개체의 생산성이 유사한 경향을 보였다. 이식된 잘피는 자생하는 잘피와 마찬가지로 봄에 급격히 성장하였으며, 자생개체보다 낮은 밀도로 이식되었으나, 약 1년 후에는 자생잘피 개체군의 밀도와 유사해졌다. 이식된 잘피들이 이식초기에 이식충격을 받았지만, 비교적 짧은 기간 내에 새로운 이식 장소에 잘 적응하는 것으로 나타났다.

Since significant losses of seagrass coverage have been reported from many parts of the world, numerous restoration projects through seagrass transplantation have been attempted worldwide. Different survival rates and establishment time of transplants have been reported depending on transplanting time and methods. The staple method, which is direct seagrass planting method using staples to anchor seagrass transplants on the sediments, have been widely adopted in seagrass transplanting because this method achieves high survival rates in various sediment environments. To assess the morphological plasticity and the growth characteristics of transplants, we transplanted eelgrass, Zostera marina in December 2004 using the staple method. Shoot density, morphological characteristics and leaf productivities of the transplanted shoots and shoots of natural eelgrass beds in the vicinity of the transplanting site and environmental parameters in the planting site were monitored for about 1 year postplanting monthly. Transplant shoot density increased without initial decline, while leaf width and sheath length of transplants decreased after transplanting. Leaf productivities per shoot of transplants also considerably lower than those of natural shoots for the first 3 months post-transplanting. Shoot density, morphological characteristics and leaf productivity per area of transplants became similar to those of natural population about 1 year after transplanting. Although eelgrass transplants might have experienced some transplanting stress during the early stage of the transplantation, transplants appeared to adapt well to new environments of the transplanting site.
