To distinguish manchurian clematis, Clematis terniflora var. mandshurica and three-leaf clematis, C. apiifolia, we collected 9 nuclear ITS sequences and two sequences of trnQ-trnH intergenic spacer and trnH region in GenBank database. Those sequences were aligned to find differences between those of C. terniflora var. mandshurica and C. apiifolia. Two primer pairs were newly designed base on the differences between two species and conducted multiplex PCR. The size of amplified fragments using generated primers were 380 base pairs (only three-leaf clematis) and 189 base pairs (both species). This genetic marker based on PCR is useful to discrimination of C. terniflora var. mandshurica and C. apiifolia

하상 변화는 유량이나 유사의 흐름에 따라 침식, 운반, 퇴적되어 변화하며, 하상변동에 의한 결과는 하천의 형태 (직렬,복렬, 곡렬 등)나 서식처의 구조 (여울과 소, 웅덩이, 습지 등) 형성 로 나타난다. 이어서 서식처 구조의 다양성은 생물다양성에 긍정적인 영향을 미친다. 본 연구에서는 수리 (유량이나 유사량)-지형(서식처 구조)-생태 (생물다양성)을 연계하여 관리하기 위한 생태적인 하천관리 프레임을 제시하기 위하여, 지형과 생물상의 관계를 우선 파악하고자 한다. 국내 하천은 수생태 건강성 평가 중 서식 및 수변환경 지수(HRI, Habitat and Riparian Index)를 활용하여 하천의 형상 및 자연성을 평가한다. 해당 지수는 하천의 자연성을 판단할 수 있으나 유량이나 유사량 등과 같이 수리적 조건과 연계하여 하천환경 변화를 예측하기 어렵기 때문에, 본 연구에서는 하천의 자연성을 판단하는 지형변수들을 제안하고, 생물상과 상관관계를 분석한다. 수질 변화가 급격하지 않는(년간 변화폭이 일정한) 금강 유역의 지천 (갑천, 미호천, 논산천, 유구천 등) 중 생태계 건강성 평가 지수가 산정되어 있는 지점을 기준으로 상·하류 약 5 km 구간들을 대상으로 한다. 지형 변수로는 (항공사진을 이용한)사주 비율(사주면적/제방 내 홍수터 면적), 사주 식생비율(식생면적/사주면적)과 사주 변동량(연간 사주 이동량), 서식처 구조의 다양성(여울, 소, 웅덩이 등), 기존의 서식 및 수변환경 지수 등을 활용하고, 생물 변수로는 저서동물지수(BMI, Benthic Macroinvertebrate Index), 저서동물의 우점도, 어류생물지수(FAI, Fish Assessment Index), 어류생물지수에 활용하는 국내종의 총 종수, 여울성 저서종수, 민감종수 등을 활용한다.

In perspective of biodiversity conservation and protected areas (PAs), the aims of the study are to review the mid-long term national plans, which deal with national territory and environment in Korea, and to find out the way to improve this issue. Key issues were drawn by referring "Biodiversity 2011-2020 Strategic Targets" and "Protected Area Decision" in CBD CoP-10 and 7 National comprehensive or basic Plans were reviewed. Quoting Biodiversity 2011-2020 Strategic Target 5, "By 2020, the rate of loss of all natural habitats, including forests, is at least halved and where feasible brought close to zero, and degradation and fragmentation is significantly reduced", most of national plans included various methods such as "No Net Loss of Green", "No Net Loss of Wetlands", and so on. Regarding the target 11, "By 2020, at least 17% of terrestrial and inland water, and 10% of coastal and marine areas, ecologically representative and well connected systems of PAs and other effective area-based conservation measures, and integrated into the wider landscape and seascapes", 15% by 2015 was set up as a target of total PAs in Korea and 13% by 2015 or 2020 was set up as a target of coastal and marine PAs. CBD CoP-10 Decision X/31 (Protected Areas) invites parties to develop a national long-term action plan for the implementation of PoWPA and describes 10 issues that need greater attention. National action plan for the implementation of PoWPA doesn't be mentioned at any national plans even PoWPA. Regarding the 10 issues, most of issues were well reflected within various national plans, however there is still a need to improve the details and corelation between plans. Particularly, in terms of management effectiveness evaluation (MEE), there was no national plan to directly deal with MEE even though CBD invites parties to work towards assessing 60% of the total PAs by 2015. Based on the review results, below 4 items were suggested; (1)"The Comprehensive Plan of the National Territory" needs more attention on the Biodiversity Conservation and PAs, (2)Consider to establish "National PA System Plan" embedded into "the Comprehensive Plan of National Environment", (3)Establish a "National Action Plan for the implementation of PoWPA", (4)Improve the National Plans through linking with Biodiversity 2011-2020 Strategic Targets and relevant PA key issues.

In 2017, we collected a wood-decay fungus growing on a dead and decaying herbaceous plant (Reynoutria sachalinensis (F. Schmidt) Nakai) in Dokdo, the far-eastern island of South Korea. Morphologically, this species is characterized by resupinate, coriaceous to corky basidiocarps, poroid hymenophores, pseudodimitic hyphal system, and ellipsoid basidiospores. Based on morphological observation and internal transcribed spacer of ribosomal DNA, the fungus was identified as Xylodon flaviporus (Berk. & M.A. Curtis ex Cooke) Riebesehl & Langer. It is only the second macrofungal species reported from Dokdo, and R. sachalinensis is the first herbaceous plant to be identified as a host for X. flaviporus.

Aquatic ecosystem is composed of various organic and inorganic matters. Its health is essential for sustaining its members such as vegetations, mammals, birds, fishes and invertebrates. Samcheonpo stream is one of candidate streams in Sacheon area of ecological restoration. For this reason, this study conducted to build up a data base for future comparison. The results shows that biodiversity of Epilithic Diatoms and Invertebrates is below average which means that human impacts such as artificial structures and activities have been negatively related to stream health. Consequently, we suggest several key factors when ecological restoration is performed in the stream.

인간활동으로 인해 서식처의 변화, 서식처의 파편화를 비롯하여 기후변화, 토지이용의 변화 등으로 생태계 생물 다양성은 빠르게 손실되고있는 상황이다. 특히 생물 다양성은 생태계 복원력에 중요한 인자로서 유역의 건전성 회복을 위해 생물 다양성을 중요한 인자로 고려하려는 경향이 커지고 있다. 유역 건전성은 주로 큰 하천에서의 친수성, 서식처, 유량 및 수질 등에 적용되어왔고 국내에서는 최근 들어 유역 건전성을 확보하기 위해 수량 및 수질관리, 환경문제 등의 해결을 위해 유역관리 차원에서 접근하려는 시도가 시작되었으나 어떠한 수단을 통해 생물다양성과 서식처 관리를 접근할 수 있는지에 대한 연구는 아직 부족한 실정이다. 이에 본 연구에서는 최근 20년 동안 도시화, 댐 건설 등 토지이용변화가 크게 발생한 금강유역(9,865 km²)을 대상으로 InVest 모델 중 서식처 가치평가 모델 (Habitat Quality Model)을 이용하여 유역의 서식처 가치를 평가하고 이를 수생태계 건강성 모니터링 자료와 비교하여 모형의 적용성을 평가하고자 한다.

We aimed to develop a naturalness index for forest-dwelling birds in four national parks in Korea and to simulate the effect of species loss on this naturalness index. Five bird specialists were asked to give 112 bird species a disturbance susceptibility score (DSS), and the naturalness index was calculated based on this. The 112 bird species represented 8 orders (Cuculiformes, Piciformes, Accipitriformes, Falconiformes, Columbiformes, Caprimulgiformes, Strigiformes, and Passeriformes). DSS was the highest for Terpsiphone atrocaudata and Pitta nympha, and lowest for Pica pica, Hypsipetes amaurotis, and Streptopelia orientalis. There was a significant negative relationship between a species' population number and its DSS. Among the four national parks, Mt. Songni had the highest naturalness index, followed by Mt. Wolak, Mt. Juwang, and Mt. Wolchul. We investigated the change in biodiversity indices under four scenarios, which assumed the extinction of species with less than 5 (Scenario 1), 10 (Scenario 2), 50 (Scenario 3), and 100 individuals (Scenario 4). The results showed that although all biodiversity indices decreased as the species loss increased, they all behaved differently. Fisher's alpha diversity decreased as the number of species proportionally decreased. There was almost no change in Shannon-Wiener H' index in Scenarios 1 and 2. The naturalness index showed increased sensitivity in Scenarios 1 and 4. Our future aims are to obtain the DSS for all forest-dwelling bird species, and to adopt the naturalness index to evaluate temporal and spatial changes in biodiversity.

According to the recent observation by NOAA(US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration), 2015 is the warmest year based on global average temperature since 1880. The air temperatures in the Arctic have been rising at almost twice the global average and the extent and thickness of sea ice in the Arctic have declined. And the warming process in the Arctic is accelerating rapidly. These impacts of drastic change in sea ice caused by climate change in the Arctic threaten the eco-system service and biodiversity in the Arctic. This study intends to estimate the economic value on changes in eco-system services and biodiversity of the Arctic caused by climate change. The result of the valuation indicates that the total benefit from improvement of ecosystem in the Arctic ranges from 318.6 billion won to 715.9 billion won per annum. Replication scenarios can be explored into two broad categories in future studies: scenarios in consideration of conflicts of different stakeholders and scenarios based on wider or narrower definition of biodiversity in the Arctic.

Invasive alien species are considered to be one of the main factors that cause biodiversity loss. Establishment of management strategies through continuous monitoring and risk assessment is a key element for invasive alien species management policy. In the present study, we introduce examples of ecological risk assessment tools developed in Japan, Germany-Austria and Belgium. Invasive alien species have been designated in Japan based on the assessment of risks to ecosystems, human health and primary industry. German-Austrian Black List Information System categorized alien species into Black List, White List and Grey List according to their risks to biodiversity. In the Harmonia Information System developed in Belgium, invasiveness, adverse impacts on native species and ecosystem functions and invasion stages were assessed and alien species were categorized into Black List, Watch List and Alert List. These international risk assessment tools may be helpful to improve our national risk assessment protocol for the prioritization of invasive alien species management.
