Abstract

This study has been executed to understand the additional and removal processes of nutrients in the Saemangeum Salt-water Lake, and discussed with other monthly-collected environmental parameters such as water temperature, salinity, dissolved oxygen, suspended solids, and Chl-a from 2008 to 2010. $NO_3$-N, TP, $PO_4$-P, and DISi showed the removal processes along with the salinity gradients at the surface water of the lake, whereas $NO_2$-N, $NH_4$-N, and Chl-a showed addition trend. In the bottom water all water quality parameters except $NO_3$-N appeared addition processes indicating evidence of continuous nutrients suppliance into the bottom layer. The mixing modelling approach revealed that the biogeochemical processes in the lake consume $NO_3$-N and consequently added $NH_4$-N and $PO_4$-P to the bottom water during the summer seasons. The $NH_4$-N and $PO_4$-P appeared strong increase at the bottom water of the river-side of the lake and strong concentration gradient difference of dissolved oxygen also appeared in the same time. DISi exhibited continuous seasonal supply from spring to summer. Internal addition of $NH_4$-N and $PO_4$-P in the river-side of the lake were much higher than the dike-side, while the increase of DISi showed similar level both the dike and river sides. The temporal distribution of benthic flux for DISi indicates that addition of nutrients in the bottom water was strongly affected by other sources, for example, submarine ground-water discharge (SGD) through bottom sediment.

이 연구는 새만금 방조제가 조성된 이후 새만금호에서 영양염($NO_3$-N, $NO_2$-N, $NH_4$-N, TN, $PO_4$-P, TP, DISi)의 거동을 이해하기 위해 수행되었으며, 특히 2008년~2010년까지 새만금호의 표층과 저층에서 매월 관측된 환경인자(수온, 염분, 용존산소, 부유물질, Chl-a)와 상호 비교하여 특징을 논의하였다. 표층에서 $NO_3$-N, TP, $PO_4$-P, DISi는 제거현상을 보였고, $NO_2$-N, $NH_4$-N, Chl-a는 첨가현상을 보였다. 저층에서는 $NO_3$-N을 제외하고 모든 항목들이 첨가현상을 보였다. 따라서 $NO_3$-N을 제외한 나머지 영양염들은 저층수에서 지속적으로 공급되고 있음을 의미한다. 혼합모델을 이용하여 저층수에서 영양염의 거동을 분석한 결과, 생지화학적 과정에 의해 $NO_3$-N이 주로 하계에 감소되는 것으로 나타났고, $NH_4$-N과 $PO_4$-P는 하계에 증가되는 것으로 나타났다. 특히 $PO_4$-P와 $NH_4$-N의 증가는 강하구 쪽에서 더욱 뚜렷하게 나타났고, 표층과 저층 사이의 DO의 농도 차이와 강한 양의 상관성을 보였다. DISi도 저층수에서 지속적으로 공급되고 있음을 보였으나, $NH_4$-N과 $PO_4$-P와는 다르게 하계뿐만 아니라 춘계에도 공급되는 경향을 보였다. 또한 $NH_4$-N과 $PO_4$-P가 방조제 쪽보다 하구 쪽에서 더 많이 공급되는 것과는 다르게 DISi는 양쪽에서 유사하게 공급됨을 보였다. 이러한 DISi의 특징은 퇴적물로부터 분자확산에 의한 flux를 계산한 결과, 저층수에서 공급되는 영양염은 퇴적물로부터 용출되는 것 이외에 SGD 등 다른 유입기원이 있는 것을 암시한다.
