Abstract

A study was conducted to find the habitat change and the insects and flora that live in the abandoned paddy field in Daun-dong Jung-gu, Ulsan, to provide basic information for the conservation and restoration of Nannophya pygmaea Ramber from June 2008 to July 2011. In case of the insects, 53 species in 32 families of 10 orders were identified, with Odonata, Hemiptera and Coleoptera being the three dominants (18.9% in total). For flora, 60 species in 30 families of 23 orders were identified, with Cyperaceae and Gramineae being the dominants(13.3% and 11.7%, respectively). The influx of woody plants in the surveyed area led to the rapid progress of succession and the carnification of the habitats for aquatic plants. Besides, the number of phytophagous insects and mountainous insects were increasing. Consequently, the habitat of Nannophya pygmaea Ramber has been relocated to the place, whose water depth remains unchanged at 2.5~9.5cm and water space is opened. Therefore, it is required to conduct long-term monitoring and appropriate management based on the ecological characteristic of the habitats to continuously conserve and maintain the habitats of Nannophya pygmaea Ramber.

꼬마잠자리 서식지의 보전 및 복원을 위한 기초자료를 제공하기 위해, 2008년 6월부터 2011-7월까지 4년에 걸쳐 울산광역시 중구 다운동에 위치한 휴경지를 대상으로 서식지 변화와 휴경지 내에 서식하는 곤충상과 식물상을 조사하였다. 그 결과 곤충은 총 10목 32과 53종이 조사되었고, 잠자리목, 노린재목, 딱정벌레목이 총 18.9%로 우점하였다. 식물은 총 23목 30과 60종이 조사되었고, 사초과(13.3%)와 벼과(11.7%)가 우점하였다. 본 조사지역에는 목본 식물이 유입되면서 천이가 빠르게 진행되고 수생식물의 서식지를 잠식해 육지화되고 있다. 또한 이 지역에서의 식식성 곤충과 산지성 곤충이 증가하고 있다. 그 결과 꼬마잠자리의 서식지는 수심이 2.5~9.5cm로 일정하게 유지되고, 수면이 개방되어 있는 곳으로 이동되었다. 따라서 이 지역에서의 꼬마잠자리 서식지의 지속적인 보전과 유지를 위해서는 생태특성을 파악하여 장기적인 모니터링과 적절한 관리가 필요하다.
