The study was conducted to investigate the effects of diatomearth(pH 3 and CEC 20me/100g) on the adjustment of nursery soil pH and on the growth of rice seedling in the tray. The results are as follows ; 1. The soil pH and damping-off of rice seedling were decreased with increase in diatomearth application. 2. Ten to fifteen percent of diatomearth was required to adjuse the optimum soil pH range of 4.5-5.5. 3. Changes in nursery soil pH adjusted by diatomearth were less than those by sulfuric acid during the incubation period. 4. Diatomearth application increased dry weight and height of rice seedling.

This study investigated the correlation between the diatom community and the environmental variables on the tidal flat surface of the eastern part of Gomso Bay in the West coast of Korea in order to utilize the quantitative sea level record as a basic data. 24 sediment samples at 10cm intervals downstream of the Galgok Stream were used for diatom analysis, grain size analysis and CCA. As a result of diatom analysis, marine diatoms dominated at lower altitudes and the ratio of diatoms to fresh water diatoms and brackish diatoms increased toward upland. As a result of CCA, the contribution of environmental variables was analyzed as 25.3% at altitude, 21.6% at sand, 13.3% at skewness, etc. This means that altitude above sea level has the greatest influence on the diatom composition in the tidal flat surface. It suggests that the contribution of environmental variables at altitude above sea level can be used as a basic data for the quantitative records for reconstruction of paleo-sea level.

In order to assess the water quality of Kumho river using Diatom Assemblage Index to organic water pollution (DAIpo) and to campare from the previous water quality, 5 sites in Kumho river were selected and assessed total of 6 times, every April and September from April 2010 to September 2012. As a result, 116 taxa were found in 2 Order, 3 Suborder, 7 Families, 26 Genera, 103 species and 13 varieties. Saprophilous species of 10 dominant species including Achnanthes minutissima, were increased as going to downstream sites. Correlation coefficients (r) between epilithic diatom communities and physicochemical factors were from - 0.62 to 0.71. Correlation coefficients (r) between TN and diatom indices (DAIpo, TDI) were 0.57 and 0.65, respectively. Therefore, epilithic diatom communities were greatly influenced by TN. The Correlation between DAIpo and TDI measured to be high in correlation coefficient (r=0.62) from the result of correlation analysis. Mean of DAIpo values ranged between 37.24~74.98 and decreased as going to downstream sites. Saprobic level was estimated as ${\beta}$-oligosaprobic at st. 1, ${\alpha}$-oligosaprobic at st. 2 and ${\beta}$-mesosaprobic at st. 3. But st. 4 and 5 which were ${\alpha}$-mesosaprobic and polysaprobic in the previous results, were improved as ${\beta}$-mesosaprobic. The RPId, general assessment of the water quality using DAIpo, was 52.27, which means the water quality of Kumho river was middle level.

Effects of substrates on the relative immigration activities (RIAs) of epilithic diatoms were examined in Sum River, a tributary of South Han River, Korea. Two hundreds of tile substrates coated with 5% agar were deposited at seven study stations (30 tiles per site) for one month from March 7 to April 7, 2008. Water sampling, physico-chemical factor measurement, and diatom analysis were performed in the field and laboratory. Over the study, major epilithic diatom species were Nitzschia amphibia, Navicula subminuscula, Cymbella minuta in both the natural and artificial substrates. Two dominant species, Nitzschia amphibia and Cymbella minuta often found at seven stations. Among all observed taxa, Nav. subminuscula and Caloneis silicula showed the highest RIA, with the value over 15 throughout the study. Regarding the algal morphology, the biraphe type species showed higher RIA than any other morph, while they comprised over 55% of total biomass, indicating a density effect. Additionally, a significant relationship between RIA and 20-day deposited substrate (p<0.05) showed in two diatom species, Nitzschia fonticola, Gomphonema quadripunctatum, which showed relatively high RIAs. These results indicate that the relative immigration activities of epilithic diatom species can be influenced by algal density in the water and substrate, nutrients, and deposited time at least 20 days.

In this study, we analyzed diatoms from core RS15-GC41 collected in Iselin Bank, Ross Sea. A total of 24 genera and 35 species of diatoms are identified, and the having valve abundance of diatoms varies from 0.2 to 28.6×10⁶/g. Four diatom assemblage zones are established by the vertical distribution of diatoms, and changed with a cycle of 100 kyrs. RS15-GC41 were deposited over the last 400 kyrs (corresponding to Marine Isotope Stages 1-11). The open-water species Fragilariopsis kerguelensis, Rhizosolenia styliformis, and Thalassionema nitzschioides abundantly occurred in interglacial periods. Whereas, Actinocyclus actinochilus abundantly dominant during the glacial periods. The distribution of these diatoms indicated, it can be seen that the sea-ice extent was larger and lasted longer during MIS 7, 9, and 11 than that of MIS 1, 3, and 5. Moreover, Paralia sulcata was abundantly predominant in MIS 7, 9, and 11; this finding suggests likely indicating that P. sulcata was transported from the coastal/inner shelf area to the study site, during accumulated in the sediments, reworked with the influx of ice-rafted debris by the currents
