한강 하구역은 국내 4대강 가운데 유일하게 하구둑이 설치되어 있지 않아 조수의 출입이 자유롭고 민간인의 접근이 통제되어 자연적인 하천지형과 기수역 생태계가 잘 보전된 지역이다. 본 연구에서는 신곡수중보 직하류부터 한강의 법적 하류단인 유도까지 총 36.8 km에 이르는 구간에 SMS 모형을 적용하여 조위에 의한 역류 및 이에 의한 확산거동을 살펴보았다. 조위곡선이 변곡점인 국부최저치를 지나 국부최고치로 향해 가는 중간지점의 시간부터 역방향 흐름이 유도지점에서 생기게 되고 이 반대방향 흐름이 상류로 계속 전파되어 최대 32.9 km인 장항 IC까지 전달되었다. 곡릉천에서 연속주입의 형태로 유입된 오염물질의 확산양상을 RMA-4로 분석한 결과 조위에 의해 모의기간 동안 총 5회 상류측으로의 확산을 관찰할 수 있었으며 이로 인해 곡릉천 일대의 생태계에 큰 영향을 미칠 수 있다는 것을 밝혔다.

After the construction of the Geum River estuary dam, we investigated the ecological property of phytoplankton community with physicochemical property in 9 stations of Geum River estuary 4 times seasonally in 2010 about the environmental changes through the change of phytoplankton. Physicochemical property seems to show eutrophication which developed from the tendency of accruing of the nutrients (those involved in intermittency of freshwater which flows from the dike and the surrounding cities), caused by the changing of tidal flow, the decreasing of the inflow of seawater after the construction of the Geum River estuary dam (dike). A total of 233 species of species composition of phytoplankton emerged, showing a highly increased result compared to that of the former research. The reason for the increase in number is considered as a phenomenon resulting from the mix of blackish and freshwater marine species in the flow of intermittency of freshwater discharge. Also, the standing crops of phytoplankton considerably increased compared to when the dike had not yet been built. Highly affected by the discharge of occasional freshwater, the diatoms of blackish water zone dominated in spring and winter, while freshwater species appeared to dominate in summer and autumn. The species diversity showed over 2.0 except in winter season. After a cluster analysis, the result showed that the Geum River estuary was influenced by runoff from cities like Gunsan, the sewage which flows from Gyeongpo River, and the intermittency of freshwater discharge from the Geum River estuary dam.

In an estuary, ecological dynamic is modified for a long time and memorized in soils and landscapes. As landscape memory, ecological motif is defined with dominance and rarity of vegetation. The purpose of the study is to investigate the existing vegetation character and to propose the ecological motif of this area. The present salt-water plants, community species composition and constancy degree around the estuary in Buandam watershed Buan-gun, Jeollabuk-do were analyzed. The results are as follows. The flora of the salt-water plants was listed as 16 taxa; 6 families,13 genera,14 species and 2 varieties. 5 taxa were Gramineae, 4 taxa Chenopodiaceae, and 4 taxa Comrositae. The salt-water plant communities are a total of 10 communities as listed; Zoysia sinica-Artemisia scoparia community, Phacelurus latifolius community, Artemisia scoparia Cnidium japonicum community, Limonium tetragonum -Artemisia scoparia community, Artemisia scoparia community, Suaeda japonica community, Elymus dahuricus community, Suaeda asparagoides community, Zoysia sinica community, and Zoysia sinica-Suaeda japonica community. Analyzed by the community classification species class of constancy degree, Phacelurus latifolius, Cnidium japonicum, Limonium tetragonum, Suaeda japonica, Elymus dahuricus and Suaeda asparagoides belong to I, Zoysia sinica and Artemisia scoparia to II. Elymus dahuricus, Setaria viridis var. pachystachys, Echinochloa crusgalli var. oryzicola, Phacelurus latifolius, Atriplex gmelini, Salicornia herbacea, Calystegia soldanella and Aster tripolium belong to the accompaniment species to I: Zoysia sinica, Suaeda asparagoides, Artemisia capillaris to II; Suaeda japonica, Artemisia scoparia to III ; Cnidium japonicum to IV: Limonium tetragonum, Artemisia fukudo to V. And the ecological motif is the Phacelurus latifolius community.

Pre-monsoon dynamics of zooplankton community were investigated in the estuary of the Tamjin River flowing into the Doam Bay of the southern coast of Korea. Monthly sampling was carried out to collect zooplankters at five sites in the estuary and the river during the period between March and June 2014. Dissolved oxygen contents were low between $5.0{\sim}7.0mgL^{-1}$ in the estuary and high, 7.0~11.0, in the river. Water temperature increased gradually from 12.0 to $28.0^{\circ}C$ and pH fluctuated between the range 7.4~8.8, respectively. A total of 85 taxa consisted of 25 species of rotifer, 30 kinds of copepod, 8 species of cladoceran, six kinds of aquatic insect larvae, four kinds of decapod and two kinds of Cirripedia larvae and Polychaeta larvae and one kind of Amphipoda, Ispopoda, Appenidicularia, Nematoda and Cnidaria, and Nocticluca scintillans was occurred. Brackish copepods distributed at almost all studied sites with freshwater zooplankters being restricted to upper waters of the river. Monthly succession of Acartia spp. was observed in the estuary with the occurrence of A. hudsonica in March and April then A. omori in May and June. Zooplankton abundance showed to vary from 450 to $87,818ind\;m^{-3}$ due to the explosion of copepodite and copepod nauplius in the estuary. Species diversity indices varied between 0.6~2.3 and generally low in the estuary and high in the river. Sea water input into the river seems to affect the river biota for more than some kilometers of the upper waters of the Tamjin River.

To estimate the effect of algae to particulate organic matter in the upper regions of brackish Lake Sihwa, temporal and spatial variations of particulate organic carbon (POC) and phytoplankton pigments (chlorophyll a; Chl-a, pheophytin-a; Pheo-a), and their relationships were studied at seven sites of the brackish regions from March to October 2005 and 2006. POC concentration varied from 1.0 to $76.6mgL^{-1}$ (mean $7.4mgL^{-1}$), with maximal concentrations occurring in the middle parts of the study area in spring of 2005 and 2006. Concentrations of Chl-a and Pheo-a varied from 1.3 to $942.9{\mu}gL^{-1}$ (mean $71.0{\mu}gL^{-1}$) and $1.4{\sim}1,545.5{\mu}gL^{-1}$ (mean $59.9{\mu}gL^{-1}$), respectively, and corresponded closely with variation in POC. During the study period Pheo-a concentration was 44.2% of total Chl-a, implying that non-living or inactive phytoplankton is also the important part of phytoplankton-derived POC in brackish regions of Lake Sihwa. From the positive linear relationships between POC and phytoplankton pigments (POC with Chl-a (r=0.93), total Chl-a (r=0.88), and Pheo-a (r=0.81)), it is suggested that phytoplankton was a significant component of POC in the upper regions of brackish Lake Sihwa. On the other hand, the ratios of POC/Chl-a and POC/total Chl-a (Chl-a+Pheo-a) were 82.9 and 35.9, respectively. The ratio of POC/total Chl-a is similar to those reported in previous studies, including 40~60 in estuaries. This study suggests that Pheo-a concentration is considered in estimation of POC concentration from phytoplankton pigments in aquatic systems with high content of Pheo-a, like an upper region of blackish Lake Sihwa.

유공충은 껍질(test)을 가지는 원생동물로 기수역(brackish) 내지는 해양에 널게 분포하고 있다. 대부분 석회질 혹은 사질(arenaceous)의 껍질로 구성되어 있으며, 해양퇴적물의 중요한 생물원 요소가 되고 있다(Matoba, 1975). 유공충은 서식환경에 따라 종조성을 달리하거나 종내변이(variety 혹은 ecophenotype)를 보이며 환경의 변화에 민감하게 반응한다. 본 연구에서는 한반도 동남부 연안해역의 내 대륙붕 니질대(nearshore mud belt) 및 영일만에 분포하는 저서성유공충의 분포특성을 파악하고 저질환경인자에 대한 반응 종을 탐색함으로써 연안환경에 서식하는 유공충의 환경지시자를 밝히고자 한다.

하구는 강이 흘러 바다로 유입되는 지역으로 강의 담수와 바다의 염수가 만나는 강의 하류에 형성되며 지형, 담수의 유입, 해수의 조석 등에 의해 염분분포가 변화 하는 특성을 가진다. 또한 하구에 형성되는 하구역은 조수 간만의 차로 인한 상하운동이 일어남으로 인해 염분 농도는 0.5~30 ‰로 매우 광범위하게 나타난다. 하구는 해수가 미치는 최대 경계인 감조역과 해수와 담수가 혼합되는 기수역이 나타나며, 하구에서의 염분의 변화는 동 식물의 생존 및 분포, 수자원 확보 및 관리, 구조물 설치 등 공학적 분야에서도 매우 중요하다. 또한, 염수쐐기와 조석의 영향으로 하구의 수층에서는 담수 및 염분분포가 지점에 따라 다르게 형성이 되기 때문에 하천 수질측정 시 염수에 의해 대표성이 결여될 수 있다. 본 연구는 바다로 유입되는 수영강을 대상으로 염분분포의 특성을 고려하여 중권역 대표지점으로서의 적합성을 판단하고자 하였다. 수영강은 부산 용천산에서 발원하여 회동수원지를 거쳐 온천천과 합류하여 남해로 유입된다. 수영강에 위치한 좌수영교와 수영교에서 조석 간만의 차가 뚜렷하게 나타날 수 있는 대조기와 소조기에 연직 염분분포를 분석하여 하천수질 측정지점의 대표성을 판단하고자 하였다. 만조에서 간조로 수위가 변화 할 때 표층의 담수층이 옅어지는 현상을 보이며 소조기 보다 대조기에서의 담수층 변화 폭이 커지며 수질측정 시 고려하여야 할 것으로 판단된다.

Distribution characteristics of two dominant paracalanids of the family Paracalanidae on temperature and salinity were studied in the brackish and coastal waters from the West and South coasts of Korea. Bestiolina coreana mainly occurs in a range of 29.8~31.3 psu salinity and temperature of more than about $20^{\circ}C$, while Paracalanus parvus s. l. mainly occurs in a range $17{\sim}20^{\circ}C$ temperature and more than 30 psu salinity. The fact clearly indicates that temperature and salinity was a major factors in spatio-temporal distribution between these two paracalanids.

Nakdong river estuary is being operated with the goal of expanding the period of seawater inflow from this year to 2022 every month and creating a brackish water area within 15 km of the upstream of the river bank. In this study, the deep learning algorithm Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) was applied to predict the salinity of the Nakdong Bridge (about 5 km upstream of the river bank) for the purpose of rapid decision making for the target brackish water zone and prevention of salt water damage. Input data were constructed to reflect the temporal and spatial characteristics of the Nakdong River estuary, such as the amount of discharge from Changnyeong and Hamanbo, and an optimal model was constructed in consideration of the hydraulic characteristics of the Nakdong River Estuary by changing the degree according to the sequence length. For prediction accuracy, statistical analysis was performed using the coefficient of determination (R-squred) and RMSE (root mean square error). When the sequence length was 12, the R-squred 0.997 and RMSE 0.122 were the highest, and the prior prediction time showed a high degree of R-squred 0.93 or more until the 12-hour interval.
