For an efficient and reasonable management scheme for protecting the soil environment, a soil ecological risk assessment (ERA) method should be developed prior to utilization, based on the contemporary uses and situations of each country. The Korean environmental policy focusing on soil protection is currently accelerating the development of the soil ecological risk assessment method. The soil ERA requires toxicological data on various trophic levels in the soil environment, and ultimately uses PNEC (Predicted No Effect Concentration), which is derived from collected toxicological data. Therefore, test species that are used to generate toxicity data are essential for conducting reliable ERA. This study aimed to select domestic test species for potential use in a reliable Korean ERA. Copper (Cu) and Nickel (Ni) were identified as target substances, with toxicity data (Cu, Ni) and standard test methods being collected to determine candidate species. The candidate species were first classified by soil trophic level, and then sorted into final domestic species. Forty out of 166 domestic species were determined as potential standard test species, whereas 17 out of 120 species were determined as potential Cu and Ni test species. Finally, this study presented potential soil test species based on the characteristics of the domestic soil environment, and established a preliminary step toward developing a reliable Korean soil ERA method.

Indigenous yeasts in Korea have been actively studied since 1910 in light of various fields, including environment, food fermentation, brewing, and medicine. However, a complete list of indigenous yeast species has not been addressed or reported. In this study, a comprehensive analysis of the literature including yeast isolation from Korean materials and the strains preserved at culture collections was performed. The results of this study indicate the following: i) there are 128 genera and 681 species (including 26 variants) of yeast reported in Korea, ii) the reported species were trimmed into 142 genera and 500 species (including 9 variants), iii) among which only 166 species were registered in the National Species List of Korea (2020). Therefore, follow-up studies are required to register more indigenous yeast species in the National Species List of Korea.

게류는 절지동물문 갑각목 십각아목에 속하는 무척추동물로서 해양동식물의 사체나 데트리터스를 먹으며 해양생태계의 먹이그물에서 중요한 생태적 지위를 갖는다. 조간대에 서식하는 종은 육상과 조하대 사이, 하구역에 서식하는 종은 담수와 해수사이, 심해에 서식하는 종은 표층과 심층 사이의 물질과 에너지 순환을 제공한다. 국내에서 이루어진 게류에 관한 연구는 주로 일부 상업성 종류의 자원학적 연구만 이루어져 있고, 군집에 관한 연구는 광양만 잘피밭에 서식하는 게류 군집의 종조성과 계절 변동 (Huh and An, 1998)이 있을 뿐 아직까지 우리나라 해역에 어떤 종이 언제 출현하는지 조차 잘 알려져 있지 않다. 본 연구에서는 가덕도 주변 해역에 서식하는 게류 군집의 종조성과 계절변동을 파악하고자 하였다.

건강한 수생태계 유지·관리를 위하여 다양한 수생생물을 활용한 각 분류군의 종별 서식지 적합도 지수 DB 구축의 필요성이 증대되고 있다. 대부분의 수생생물의 경우 문헌 연구를 통해 서식지 적합도 지수를 산정하기는 어려우므로 현장 모니터링 자료를 이용한 어류, 저서생물 등의 서식지 적합도 지수를 산정하여 하천 복원 및 수생생물의 서식에 필요한 생태유량 결정에 중요한 인자로 활용하고 있다. 국내에서 하천 건강성 평가 등을 통해 수계별 다양한 조사를 수행하고 있으나 대부분의 연구는 출현 종 분류 및 출현율 등에 국한되어 있다. 또한, 부족한 현장 모니터링 자료로 인해 서식지 적합도 지수를 산정하기 위한 객관적이고 과학적인 물리적 인자를 도출하기 어려운 실정이며, 이는 전문가의 경험을 바탕으로 한 주관적 판단으로 이어져 결과의 신뢰성 측면에서 한계가 있을 수 있다. 따라서, 수계별 장기적인 모니터링 및 자료 구축을 위한 연구가 필요하며, 기존 서식지 적합도 지수 산정에 관한 방법의 장단점을 명확히 파악하여 국내 하천환경 및 특성에 적합한 서식지 적합도 지수 구축이 반드시 선행되어야 할 것이다.

기존 국내의 자연형 하천복원사업은 인위적으로 정비된 하천을 대상으로 훼손된 자연성을 되살리기 위하여 물리적 환경의 개선을 중심으로 진행되었으며, 저수호안의 안정성과 더불어 식생 피복율을 높이는 등 형태적 복원을 중심으로 사업이 시행되어 왔다. 이러한 자연형 하천복원사업은 하천의 생태적 특성에 대한 고려가 미비하여 하천이 생물서식처로서의 기능을 수행하는 데에는 효과적이지 못하였다. 따라서 본 연구는 하천의 물리적 특성에 의하여 형성되는 생물서식처와 이에 반응하는 생물들의 상호관련성을 분석하여 생물들에게 적합한 서식환경을 제공할 수 있는 기술을 개발하며, 하천유역의 환경 훼손으로 인하여 개체수가 급감하고 있는 종을 복원 목표종으로 선정하여 개발된 기술을 현장에 시범적으로 적용하여 기술을 검증함으로써 생물을 중심으로 한 자연과 함께하는 하천복원기술을 개발하고자 하였다. 이를 위해 우리나라의 중소하천을 대표할 수 있는 대표하천을 선정하여, 서식처 유형을 분류하고 각 서식처의 물리 화학 생태특성을 분석하였으며, 이를 통해 납자루아과 어종의 산란처 및 서식처로서의 역할을 하는 개방형 하도습지 조성 기술을 개발 및 시범적용 하였다.

In this study, to discuss on the applicability of eDNA as a new method to investigate fish diversity at streams, we applied eDNA at 4 streams (Geum River, Ji Stream, Hwangji Stream, Seomjin River), where endangered species are inhabits, with conventional survey (cast net and kick net). The average (±standard deviation) number of species investigated by eDNA were 19 species (±4.4), and it was relatively higher than average of conventional survey, 10 species (±4.8). Most of case, in this study, eDNA was more efficient than conventional survey. However, there were errors on species identification of Korean endemic species and aliied species from eDNA, and it seems the universal primer (MiFish primer set) is not suitable for them. Furthermore, some of endangered species, caught by conventional method, was not detected by eDNA. As the present universal primer is not suitable for identify the every freshwater fish species in Korea, the complementing or development of universal primer is needed, and the eDNA application after species specific marker development for detecting specific species like endangered species should be considered. In conclusion, if the manual for field survey method by eDNA is developed, we expect applicability enlargement for water ecosystem survey.

A survey of 43 soil samples collected from southern Korea has shown that nematophagous fungi occurred in a variety of habitats. Nine predatory and two endoparasitic species were isolated. Habitats were classified into four types, i. e., mountain, upland, paddy field and greenhouse. Of these, greenhouse and upland had the highest incidence of nematophagous fungi $(95{\sim}100%)$ compared with mountain (37.5%) and paddy field (16.7%). The most common species was Arthrobotrys oligospora Fres., which was isolated from 25.5% of soil samples. Net forming species were the most abundant (72.5%), followed by constricting ring (10.0%), adhesive hyphae (7.8%), endoparasitic fungi (5.0%), and adhesive knob (4.8%). Nematophagous fungi were isolated move frequently from cultivated soil rather than uncultivated mountainous soil.

The purpose of this study is to compare a habitat suitability grid unit included within a radius of 100m and $1km^2,\;2km^2,\;4km^2$ watershed units in order to predict suitable habitats for Chungcheong province's endangered leopard species(Prionailurus bengalensis). Other developed countries have carried out habitat assessment and established management policies for species conservation using such methods as HEP(Habitat Evaluation Procedures), HSI(Habitat Suitability Index) and GAP(Gap Analysis Program), etc. In accordance with these studies, many evaluation methods for habitat conservation have been proposed in Korea, but these studies are lacking in consideration of analytic units and general application of analysis results. This study predicted leopard habitat using a logistic regression analysis according to analytic units by data from 56 location and 8 sources of environmental data, including elevation, slope, forest area, land cover, roads, water, broadleaf trees, and human habitation. Moreover, the habitat suitability assessment unit was confirmed by a model comparison process encompassing model explanation. verification, and application on a regional scale. Results showed that assessment methods that took into consideration areas in and around the location points were beneficial in predicting habitat and that the assessment unit was appropriate for a 30m grid unit including areas within a radius of 100m and a $1km^2$ watershed unit in Chungcheong Province. This study suggests a method for regional habitat conservation to complement existing conservation area selection methods, and the results are expected to be used in conservation area selection and ecosystem management policies for endangered species.
