Abstract

This study examined the benthic diatom community distribution, land cover/use and water quality in relation to stream shape complexity (SSC) in the Seom River watershed. SSC showed a significant relation to the riparian land cover/use pattern and also water quality variables of the studied streams. Streams with high stream shape complexity (HSC) appeared to have a high proportion of forest and farmland, while streams having a low stream shape complexity (LSC) appeared to have high proportion of city. Streams with lower SSC showed higher nutrients concentration in the stream waters. Benthic diatom species composition and dominant species appeared to be similar regardless of SSC differences among the studied streams, while the variation of diatom density was manifested with SSC. The relative abundance of dominant benthic diatoms varied with SSC. Saprophilic diatoms were dominant in the streams of LSC, while saproxenic diatoms were dominant in the streams of HSC. During the evaluation of biological water quality using the benthic diatom indices, Trophic Diatom Index (TDI) and Diatom Assemblage Index to organic water pollution (DAIpo), the streams of LSC generally showed poorer water quality than those of MSC (Middle stream shape complexity) and HSC. In particular, BOD, TP, and $PO_4$-P showed significant relationships with DAIpo. In conclusion, shape complexity of streams in the Seom River watershed showed a close relation with benthic diatom distribution. This relation seemed to primarily be resulted from the effect of proximate factors, such as water quality, which might be affected by the land use types determining the degree of SSC.

본 연구는 섬강 수계 하천에서 하천의 형태복잡도와 부착규조류 군집 분포와의 관계를 자연지리, 토지이용도, 수리, 수질요인들과의 관계를 통해 분석하였다. 하천의 형태복잡도는 하천의 입지(고도)와 하폭 그리고 주변의 토지이용도와 밀접한 관계를 나타냈으며, 동시에 하천의 수질과도 유의한 관계를 보여주었다. 즉, 형태복잡도가 높은 하천은 숲과 농경지의 이용도가 높았으며, 반면 형태복잡도가 낮은 하천에서는 도시 이용도가 높게 나타났다. 한편, 형태복잡도가 높을수록 하천의 영양염의 농도가 낮은 결과를 나타냈다. 섬강 수계에서 출현한 부착규조는 총 145 분류군(2목 3아목 8과 26속 125종 15변종 2품종 3아종)이 출현하였다. 하천의 형태복잡도 차이에 관계없이 부착규조류 군집의 종조성과 우점종의 차이는 크지 않았으나 밀도와 지표종의 차이는 뚜렷하게 나타났다. 부착규조류 지표종은 낮은 형태복잡도를 가진 지점들에서 호오탁성종의 상대밀도가 높았던 반면, 복잡도가 높은 지점들에서는 호청수성종의 종수와 상대밀도가 더욱 높았다. 부착규조류 생물지수(TDI, DAIpo)를 이용해 생물학적 수질을 평가한 결과 형태복잡도가 낮은 지점들에서의 수질이 상대적으로 불량하게 나타났다. 특히, BOD, TP, $PO_4$-P 농도는 DAIpo와 높은 상관관계를 나타냈다. 결론적으로, 섬강 수계 하천의 형태복잡도는 부착조류 군집의 분포와 밀접한 관계를 보여주었으며, 보다 직접적으로 이들의 관계는 형태복잡도의 차이를 결정짓는 주변 토지이용의 형태가 하천수질에 영향을 미쳐 나타난 것으로 이해되었다.
