Abstract

One of the most important habitats of Waterbirds in the west coast of Korea is Saemangeum and its mudflat, located within the estuary of the Dongji and Mankyung River. This study was conducted to clarify the community characteristics of wintering waterbirds in Saemangeum from November 2008 to February 2009. Waterbirds and Raptor are 69 species and 409,044 individuals by the sum of peak counts were recorded. We classified the wintering waterbirds into 14 groups of taxa based on the similar ecological attributes. The dominant species were Baikal Teal Anas formosa, Mallard Anas platyrhynchos, Greater White-fronted Goose Anser albifrons, Greater Scaup Aythya marila. Greater White-fronted Goose was significantly positive correlated with survey period. Baikal Teal, Greater White-fronted Goose, Bean Goose, Greater Scaup, Common Shelduck Tadorna tadorna were increased when compared with last report but Mallard, Spot-billed Duck Anas poecilorhyncha, Dunlin Calidris alpina were no difference.

한국의 서해안 지역에 위치한 새만금 지역은 만경강, 동진강 하구의 갯벌지역으로 수조류의 중요한 서식지 이다. 본 조사는 2008년 11월부터 2009년 2월까지 새만금에 도래하는 수조류 군집특성 파악을 위해 실시하였다. 월동기 동안 맹금류를 포함하여 새만금에서 관찰된 수조류는 69종, 최대개체수는 409,044개체이었다. 유사한 생태적 특징을 고려하여 분류군별로 나누어 보면 14개 분류군이 관찰되었다. 주요 우점종은 가창오리, 청둥오리, 쇠기러기, 검은머리흰죽지이었다. 쇠기러기는 조사시기에 따라 양의 상관관계를 보였다(rp=0.72, p<0.05). 주요 우점종 중 가창오리, 쇠기러기, 큰기러기, 검은머리흰죽지, 혹부리오리는 기존 연구와 비교했을 때 증가하였으며, 청둥오리, 흰뺨검둥오리, 민물도요는 큰 변화가 없었다.
