Low Impact Development(LID) techniques has been attracting attention as a countermeasure to solve frequent flood damage in urban areas. LID is a techniques for returning to the natural hydrological cycle system by infiltrating the runoff from the impervious surface into the soil. The Bio-retention, one of the LID element technology has outflow reduction effect by reserving and infiltrating storm water runoff from watersheds. Recently, a number of studies have been carried out as interest in the reduction of storm water runoff and non-point pollutants in Bio-retention has increased. However, quantitative analysis on the outflow reduction of Bio-retention applied to small watershed is insufficient. In this study, Bio-retention model was constructed in a small watershed using K-LIDM which is capable of hydrologic analysis. When the storage capacity was increased or dividing the Bio-retention and watershed, the outflow reduction effect was 20% according to the storage capacity increase and 5~15% in the distributed Bio-retention system. The results of this analysis will be used as the basic data of future Bio-retention research related to watershed characteristics, vegetation type and soil condition.

We deduced the proper estimation methodology for the amount of carbon sequestration by damaged trees for Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA). The nine development projects related to renewable energy, damaged trees occur, assessment status and used method of evaluating the carbon storage of damaged trees were summarized. And after re-calculating the carbon storage of damaged trees through allometric equations, the difference between the two groups, re-calculated the damaged trees carbon storage and the damaged trees carbon storage in the report, was validated. As a result, damaged trees carbon storage in words was more than the re-calculated damaged trees carbon storage, and it was statistically significant (p<0.005). This result means that the existing method for calculating damaged tree carbon storage is overcalculated. It was judged that it was necessary to improve the calculation method. Therefore, allometric equations suitable for each dominated-tree species should be used when calculating the damaged tree carbon storage. Furthermore, we propose to establish a carbon storage calculation system based on actual data from the ecosystem so that researchers can efficiently and accurately the damaged trees carbon storage.

A largemouth bass (Micropterus salmoides) is an ecosystem disturbance fish species at the highest rank in the aquatic ecosystem, causing a serious imbalance in freshwater ecosystems. Although various attempts have been made to eradicate and control largemouth bass, no effective measures were found. Therefore, it is necessary to find an approach to maximize the effective population reduction based on the unique characteristics of largemouth bass. This study used the transcriptome analysis to derive 182,887 unigene contigs and select 12 types of final target sequences for applying the CRISPR/Cas9 system in the genes of IZUMO1 and Zona pellucida sperm-binding protein, which are proteins involved in sperm-egg recognition. After synthesizing 12 types of sgRNA capable of recognizing each target sequence, 12 types of Cas9-sgRNA ribonucleoprotein (RNP) complexes to be used in subsequent studies were prepared. This study searched the protein-coding gene of sperm-egg through the Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) and edited genes through the CRISPR/Cas9 system to induce infertile individuals that produced reproductive cells but could not form fertilized eggs. Through such a series of processes, it successfully established a composition development process for largemouth bass. It is judged that this study contributed to securing the valuable basic data for follow-up studies to verify its effect for the management of ecological disturbances without affecting the habitat of other endemic species in the same water system with the largemouth bass.

The need for an efficient sampling technique to collect aquatic organisms has risen with the increase of interest in rice paddy fields, which have been recognized as important ecosystems supporting biodiversity. In the present study, a submerged funnel trap used with the assistance of attracting agents (fish meal and chemical light) was designed as an easy, objective and quantitative tool for collecting aquatic organisms in the rice paddy fields. The preference for collecting aquatic organisms as a means for attracting agents was analyzed using a generalized linear mixed model. Also, based on the data of previous research, we compared the community composition of the aquatic macroinvertebrates, which were collected using the quadrat method, and newly designed submerged funnel traps, by analyzing non-metric multidimensional scaling. The results showed that the catching efficiency of 18 of the total 65 taxa was affected by the attracting agents. 12 taxa including Pomacea canaliculata, Hippeutis cantori, Austropeplea ollula, Erpobdella lineata, Ostracoda spp. Branchinella kugenumaensis, Hydaticus grammicus, Rhantus pulverosus, Chironomidae spp., Rana nigromaculata, Cobitidae spp. etc., favored fish meal and 6 taxa including Ischnura asiatica, Coenagrionidae spp. Sternolophus rufipes etc., were attracted by chemical light. The submerged funnel trap used as a measurement tool for biodiversity was less applicable than the quadrat method; however, it was more effective for the selective collection of specific taxa. We expect that this newly designed trap can be a simple and quantitative method for collecting aquatic organisms, and could be used for long term and extensive surveys in rice paddy fields in the future.

폐금속 광산 주변 및 광산 하부 농경지 토양에 대한 중금속 오염원으로서 폐금속 광산 주변에 방치된 폐석의 영향을 고찰하고 오염토양에 대한 복구방법으로서 반전객토의 효율성을 검토하기 위하여 동진 금·은·동 광산 주변토양과 하부 농경지 중 오염된 논, 객토된 논 및 오염되지 않은 논을 선정하여 각각의 토양과 변에서 보여지는 금속원소의 함량과 분포특성을 비교·고찰한 결과, 동진광산에 주변에 방치된 폐석은 폐광된지 30여년이 지난 지금에도 주변토양 및 수계 하부의 농경지에 강한 중금속 오염원으로 작용하고 있음을 보여 이들의 광해를 방지하기 위해 적절한 복구대책이 필요한 것으로 판명되었다. 오염토양의 복구법으로서 반전객토지에서 산출된 나락의 중금속 함량(Cd 0.015ppm, Cr 0.07ppm, Cu 0.567ppm)은 비객토 오염지(Cd 0.096-0.215ppm, Cr 0.195-0.275ppm, Cu 1.085-1.151ppm)에 비해 대부분의 원소에서 2배 이상 낮은 값을 보이고 있어 농작물에의 중금속 전이를 억제하는 데는 상당히 효율적임을 시사했다. 이러한 결과는, 단순히 토양의 물리성 개선 및 이에 따른 토양환경의 변화 등에 의한 일시적 효과일 수 있음을 배제할 수 없지만, 적어도 반전객토법이 토질개선 방법 중 가장 간편하고 오염된 토양부분의 배출토에 대한 처리문제 및 이로 인한 이차오염문제 등을 고려하지 않아도 된다는 점을 감안할 때 소규모 금속광산 주변으로 비교적 오염정도가 약한 토양을 정화법으로 이용될 수 있음을 시사한다.

식생의 성장은 수문순환과 밀접히 연관되어 있으며 특히 강수량은 식생의 연간변동성의 주된 요인이다. 하지만 국내의 경우 이러한 식생과 강수량과의 관계를 알아보기 위한 정량적인 접근은 시도되지 않은 실정이다. 순일차생산량(NPP)은 광합성으로부터 생성된 유기물질에서 성장에 필요한 호흡량을 뺀 것이며, 이는 식생량을 산정할 때 주로 이용된다. 본 연구에서는 우리나라 전역의 50 지역의 5년간의 NPP와 연강수량이 분석에 사용되었다. 비록 자료기간이 관계를 정립하기에는 다소 부족하며 NPP자료 자체의 불확실성이 내포되어 있지만 각 지점별 NPP와 강수량과의 상관성이 매우 높은 지역들이 있는 것으로( ��0.6) 나타났다. 하지만 모든 지역의 자료를 동시에 고려하였을 경우에는 결정계수가 크게 감소하였다($R^2$=0.310). 추가적으로 강우이용효율과 연강수량의 관계를 분석하였으나 결정계수가 0.022로 기존의 문헌과는 달리 이들 사이에 뚜렷한 관계가 나타나지는 않았다. 본 연구를 통하여 확인된 사실은 우리나라의 식생과 강수량 관계에서는 우리나라 전역을 전반적으로 설명할 수 있는 일반적인 선형 관계를 찾기는 힘들다는 것이며, 다만 지역별로 살펴볼 경우 식생-강수량 관계가 비교적 잘 맞는 지역들이 다수 존재한다는 것이다. 따라서 우리나라를 대상으로 한 생태적요소가 고려된 수문모형을 개발할 경우 지역적 특성들이 모형 구조에 반영되어야 할 것이다.

There have been studies about conceptual ecology making a profound study of conceptual changes in learners' cognitive structure. Because learners' cognitive structure have been compared to ecology, it is natural to think that conception in learner's cognitive structure have a niche as species in ecology have niches. Therefore, it is necessary to study niche approach about conception that learners recognize in their cognitive structure. The purposes of this study were to identify relationships among conceptions that 5th grade elementary school students recognize about photosynthesis and to identify how these relationships among conceptions about photosynthesis change before and after a class of photosynthesis in curriculum in terms of an approach of ecological niche which are composed of 3 domains - diversity of conceptions, relevance and frequency rate of conceptions, and competition among conceptions. Open ended questionnaire was developed by 4 fields: photosynthetic place, photosynthetic products, photosynthetic materials needed and environment factors of photosynthesis. The subjects sampled in this study were 310 5th grade elementary students in 5 cites. Before and after classes in photosynthesis in science curriculum, students were asked to write down conceptions that they knew about the 4 fields of photosynthesis of questionnaire and to write down scales of relevance from 1 to 30 about how they think the conceptions are related to the field of photosynthesis. The results of this study showed the following: First, most students have had a variety of conceptions and commonly recognized 'light' and 'water' as concepts in photosynthesis. Second, students still recognized their preconceptions like 'soil' and 'root,' etc. that were far from scientific conceptions of photosynthesis although they took classes in photosynthesis. Third, students needed to take the various strategies of teachers because they did not recognized scientific conceptions appropriately about photosynthetic fields. Fourth, it appeared that photosynthetic conceptions recognized by students had status in terms of relevance and frequency rate of conceptions, and competition among conceptions, and that they looked like the niche of conceptions in their conceptual ecologies.

Olive flounder is one of the most important aquaculture species in Korea. Interest in the aquaculture of olive flounder has increased recently because of its good growth characteristics and high market price, However, the productivity of olive flounder aquaculture depends on economic inputs such as fuels, facilities, and labor, In this study, EMERGY concepts was used to compare the environment and economy of two olive flounder production methods, fishing fisheries and aquaculture, and to evaluate the sustainability of olive flounder production, EMERGY spelled with an 'm' is a universal measure of real wealth of the work of nature and society made on a common basis. Calculations of EMERGY production and storage provide a basis for making choices about environment and economy following. the general public policy to maximize real wealth, production and use. EMERGY flows from environment were $94.13\%$ for olive flounder fishing fisheries, and $2.20\%$ for aquaculture. EMERGY yield ratio, environmental loading ratio and sustainability index were 17.05, 1.02 and 274 for fishing fisheries and 0.06, 44.41 and 0.023 for aquaculture, respectively. These ratios indicate that the fishing fisheries will yield more net EMERGY, while the aquaculture requires a lower investment of EMERGY.

Barnea manilensis is a bivalve which bores soft rocks, such as, limestone or mudstone in the low intertidal zone. They make burrows which have narrow entrances and wide interiors and live in these burrows for a lifetime. In this study, the morphology and the microstructure of the valve of rock-boring clam B. manilensis were observed using a stereoscopic microscope and FE-SEM, respectively. The chemical composition of specific part of the valve was assessed by energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) analysis. 3D modeling and structural dynamic analysis were used to simulate the boring behavior of B. manilensis. Microscopy results showed that the valve was asymmetric with plow-like spikes which were located on the anterior surface of the valve and were distributed in a specific direction. The anterior parts of the valve were thicker than the posterior parts. EDS results indicated that the valve mainly consisted of calcium carbonate, while metal elements, such as, Al, Si, Mn, Fe, and Mg were detected on the outer surface of the anterior spikes. It was assumed that the metal elements increased the strength of the valve, thus helping the B. manilensis to bore sediment. The simulation showed that spikes located on the anterior part of the valve received a load at all angles. It was suggested that the anterior part of the shell received the load while drilling rocks. The boring mechanism using the amorphous valve of B. manilensis is expected to be used as basic data to devise an efficient drilling mechanism.

해양과 인접해 있는 연안역은 오염물질이 집중적으로 배출되는 곳으로 수질 및 환경오염이 문제시되고 있는 지역이다. 계속적인 연안역 수질악화를 막기 위해서는 광범위한 지역으로부터 배출되는 대량의 오염원 데이터와 환경정보를 효율적으로 관리할 수 있는 GIS기반의 수질정보통합관리시스템이 필수적이다. 이에 따라 본 연구에서는 연안역의 점ㆍ비점오염원 자료, 수질측정자료, 생태자료 등을 구축하고, 구축된 오염원 데이터를 바탕으로 원단위를 이용한 오염부하산정시스템을 구축함으로써 연안역 수질정보를 통합관리 할 수 있는 시스템을 개발하였다. 오염부하량 산정은 가지야마 수식모델을 이용하여 유출량을 산정, 원단위를 이용한 발생 및 배출부하 산정, 유달율을 고려한 유달부하량 및 유입농도 산정을 포함한다. 오염부하량 산정시스템은 사용자의 오염원 DB의 갱신에 따라 오염부하산정에 즉시 반영되도록 설계하였다. 나아가 효율적인 결과분석 체계 지원을 위하여 GIS를 이용한 오염부하량을 색의 농도차를 이용 도식하여 전체유역에 대한 임의지점에 발생하는 오염원 규모 및 유출 특성을 한눈에 조회가 가능하도록 함으로써 편리성을 제공할 수 있도록 하였다. 이러한 연안역 수질정보통합관리시스템은 수질관리에 있어 오염원자료의 유출과정의 해석을 통해 유역내 효율적인 오염원자료의 관리방안을 수립할 수 있도록 지원이 가능하며, 연안역으로 유입되는 오염량의 예측을 통하여 친환경 대안 제시를 위한 수질관리방안의 기초자료로 활용할 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.
