Abstract

To investigate the changes of dominant species of benthic macroinvertebrates according to the changes of temperature and precipitation, we surveyed twenty sites of the main Seomjin River in May and September in 2013 and 2014. The temperature, precipitation, water quality factors and substrate composition, which are important factors in benthos habitat environment, were collected and measured. The average temperature of the Seomjin River increased by $0.2^{\circ}C$ in 2014 compared to 2013, and the temperature increased from upstream to downstream, showing a difference of more than $3^{\circ}C$. Also, the annual cumulative precipitation (ACP) was increased toward low latitude. The temperature of Seomjin River increased more than twice in September ($21.7{\sim}24.5^{\circ}C$) after rainfall compared to May ($7.6{\sim}11.3^{\circ}C$) before rainfall, and CP (cumulative precipitation) increased about 3 times before rainfall (263 mm~287.5 mm) and after rainfall (756.3 mm~882 mm). Due to washing effect by summer precipitation, total number of species and individuals for benthic macroinvertebrates were higher in May than in September. Chironomidae sp. and Choroterpes altioculus were dominated in May, Ecdyonurus levis, Macrostemum radiatum and Choroterpes altioculus were dominated in September. As a result of correlation analysis between community indices and environment factors, it was found that there is a high correlation with boulder and sand among substrate compositions. According to the results of cluster analysis based on temperature, CP and the dominant species of benthic macroinvertebrates in Seomjin River, it was divided into two groups following temperature and CP, and the dominant species and geographical position were reflected and divided into detailed groups.

기온과 강수량의 변화에 따른 저서성 대형무척추동물 우점종의 변화를 알아보기 위하여, 섬진강 본류 20지점을 대상으로 2013년과 2014년 5월과 9월 년 2회씩 총 4회에 걸쳐 조사하였다. 서식환경에 중요한 요인으로 작용하는 기온, 강수량, 수질요인과 하상 구성을 수집하고 측정하였다. 섬진강의 평균기온은 2013년에 비해 2014년 $0.2^{\circ}C$증가하였고, 상류에서 하류로 갈수록 기온이 증가하는 양상이 뚜렷하여 $3^{\circ}C$ 이상의 차이를 보였다. 또한 연 누적강수량 (ACP)도 저위도로 갈수록 증가되었다. 섬진강은 강우 전 5월 ($7.6{\sim}11.3^{\circ}C$)에 비하여 강우 후 9월($21.7{\sim}24.5^{\circ}C$)에 기온이 2배 이상 높아지며, CP는 강우 전(263 mm~287.5 mm)과 강우 후(756.3 mm~882 mm)에 약 3배 증가하는 것으로 나타났다. 여름철 집중 강우로 인한 유실효과로, 개체수와 종 수는 5월이 9월보다 높았다. 5월은 깔따구류와 세갈래하루살이, 9월은 네점하루살이, 큰줄날도래, 세갈래하루살이가 우점을 차지하였다. 생물지수와 환경요인 간의 상관성 분석 결과, 하상 구성 중 호박돌 및 모래와 높은 상관성이 있는 것으로 나타났다. 섬진강의 기온과 CP, 우점종 출현과의 집괴분석한 결과 강수량과 기온에 따라 2그룹으로 크게 나뉘었으며, 우점종과 지리적인 위치가 반영되어 세부적인 그룹으로 나뉘어짐을 파악하였다.
