Abstract

This study was conducted to evaluate the effect of erosion control works on the stream ecosystem in a mountain torrential stream. The species composition of benthic macroinvertebrates and biological water quality were investigated before and after construction of erosion control works at 5 sites. The total number of benthic macroinvertebrates before construction was 3,086 individuals including 4 phyla, 6 classes, 11 orders, 22 families, and 25 species, but after construction it has decreased to 1,208 individuals including 4 phyla, 6 classes, 10 orders, 17 families, and 19 species. Especially, the diversity, richness, and evenness indices, which were calculated based on existing number of biological species, have decreased or not produced at the erosion control sites, where biological species were not found or the minimum number of species were found. The results of community analysis of benthic macroinvertebrates and ESB(Ecological Score of Benthic macroinvertebrate community) indicated that the environmental qualities of the stream based on saprobity, environmental condition, and water quality decreased after the construction at all sites: before construction, the top of the stream was satisfactory and some satisfactory, the middle was some defectiveness, and the lower was defectiveness and very defectiveness; after construction, all parts of the stream except some parts of the top were very defectiveness. Moreover, the water quality of torrential stream was rated between I to III before construction, but after construction, it declined to $IV{\sim}V$ except control. The habitat damage of benthic macro invertebrates occurred at all investigation sites after the construction of erosion control works led to reduction of the number of biological species and water quality deterioration. The results reported in this study were collected directly after the construction of erosion control works. Therefore, additional studies are needed to further explore the effect of disaster-prevention of erosion control works and the recovery process of stream ecosystem through long term monitoring.

본 연구는 산지황폐계류에 시공한 사방공작물이 계곡생태계에 미치는 영향을 분석하고자 시공 전후를 기준으로 조사지점별로 저서성 대형무척추동물의 출현종의 변화분석 및 생물학적 수질평가를 실시하였으며, 그 결과는 다음과 같다. 시공 전 출현한 저서성 대형무척추동물의 총 수는 4문 6강 11목 22과 25종 3,086개체였으나 시공 후 조사에서는 4문 6강 10목 17과 19종 1,208개체로 감소하였다. 특히, 직접적인 사방공작물의 시공이 이루어진 조사지점에서는 시공 후 생물종이 전혀 출현하지 않거나, 극소량만이 채집되어 서식종의 현존량을 기초로 하는 다양도 지수, 풍부도 지수, 균등도 지수가 감소 또는 산출되지 않았다. 저서생물의 군집분석 결과 및 저서성 대형무척추동물의 생태점수(ESB)는 모든 조사지점에서 시공전보다 시공 후에 오수생물계열, 환경상태, 수질등급과 같은 계곡환경질이 저하된 것으로 나타났다. 즉, 시공전 상류는 양호 및 다소 양호, 중류는 다소 불량, 하류는 불량 및 매우 불량으로 분석되었으나, 시공 후 상류 일부 지역을 제외한 나머지 수역은 매우 불량으로 분석되었다. 또한 대상 계류의 수질등급의 경우 시공 전에는 $I{\sim}III$등급 사이로 분류되었으나, 시공 후 대조군을 제외하고는 모두 $IV{\sim}V$등급으로 악화되었다 이와 같이 사방공작물의 시공후 모든 조사지점에서 발생한 저서성 대형무척추동물의 서식 환경 파괴는 개체수의 감소와 수질악화로 이어졌다. 이 결과는 사방공작물의 시공 직후에 조사 분석한 것이므로, 향후 장기간의 모니터링을 통하여 시공한 사방공작물의 재해방지 효과와 함께 계류 생태계의 회복과정에 대한 지속적인 연구가 이루어져야 할 것이다.
