Abstract

The purpose of this study is to establish an ecosystem model that can predict ecosystem fluctuations in the Nakdong estuary, and use this model to calculate total primary production and respiration. AQUATOX model was used as the ecosystem model, and the model was calibrated and verified using the measured data. For the calibration of the model, chlorophyll-a data measured at the Nakdong estuary were used, and the model verification was performed using DO, TN, and TP data. In general, the total primary production and respiration volume vary greatly depending on the season, but the total primary production and respiration in the Nakdong estuary were greatly influenced by the amount of water discharged from Nakdong estuary bank. When the amount of effluent increased, photosynthesis could not be performed due to the loss of phytoplankton living in the lower area, and the total primary production amounted to zero, whereas the respiration increased sharply due to the inflow of organic substances contained in the effluent. The increase in the inflow water means the inflow of organic substances contained in the inflow water, and the organic substances are decomposed by oxidation, reducing dissolved oxygen. Compared with other countries' estuaries, the Nakdong estuary shows the lowest total primary production and because the respiration is larger than the total primary production, the dissolved oxygen is depleted by the oxidation of organic matter.

본 연구는 낙동강 하구역에 대한 생태계 변동을 예측할 수 있는 생태계 모델을 구축하고 이 모델을 이용하여 총일차생산량과 호흡량을 산정하고자 하였다. 생태계 모델을 AQUATOX 모델을 사용하여 구축하였고 측정된 자료를 이용하여 모델의 검량과 검증을 하였다. 모델의 검량은 낙동강 하구역에서 측정된 클로로필-a 자료를 사용하였고, DO, TN, TP 자료를 이용하여 모델 검증을 수행하였다. 총일차생산량과 호흡량은 계절에 따라 큰 차이를 보이는 것이 일반적이나 낙동강 하구역의 총일차생산량과 호흡량은 하굿둑 방류수의 양에 크게 영향을 받았다. 방류수의 양이 증가할 때는 하구역에 서식하는 식물성 플랑크톤의 유실로 인해 광합성을 할 수 없어 총일차생산량은 0에 수렴하였고, 반면 방류수에 포함된 유기물질의 유입으로 인해 호흡량이 급격히 증가하였다. 유입수량의 증가는 유입수에 포함된 유기물질의 유입을 의미하며, 이 유기물질은 산화작용에 의해 분해되면서 용존산소를 감소시켰다. 다른 나라의 하구역과 비교 시 낙동강 하구역은 총일차생산량이 가장 적은 것으로 나타났고 호흡량이 총일차생산량보다 크기 때문에 유기물의 산화작용에 의해 용존산소를 고갈시키는 상태인 것으로 확인되었다.
