최근 정부의 4대강 살리기 사업과 관련하여 수생식물이 주목을 받고 있다. 수생식물은 산소가 상대적으로 부족한 물속에서 잘 자랄 뿐만 아니라 수질정화는 물론 4계절 볼꺼리를 주는 경관용으로도 우수하기 때문이다. 수생식물은 물속에서 자라기 때문에 줄기나 잎에 통기조직이 잘 발달되어 있고 뿌리는 바닥에 뻗으며 잎은 수면 위에서 자라거나 떠돌아다닌다. 수생식물은 육상식물보다 빨리 자라며 한 개체가 수면 밑의 수중, 지하나 수면 위에 걸쳐 있으면서 스스로도 살지만 다양한 생물의 서식처로써 역할을 하기 때문에 하천이나 연못에서 소생태계(biotope)나 생물 서식공간을 만드는데 중요한 역할을 한다.

28개소의 습지를 대상으로 총 131종이 관찰되었으며, 그 중 수생식물은 총 71종으로 전체식물의 54.2%에 해당한다. 식물 종다양성의 측면에서 보면 반못, 정물, 모사니물, 돌개기못, 웃못, 용수저수지 등이 높게 나타났다. 그리고 정물과 용수저수지를 비롯하여 모사니물, 돌개기못, 웃못, 연화못 등에는 식물의 생활형이 5$\sim$6군으로 다양하게 분포하였다. 수생식물의 유형은 정물, 모사니물, 용수저수지, 반못, 돌개 기못, 몰순이못, 웃못 등 23개소에서 4군 또는 5군이 출현하였다. 이러한 결과를 토대로 정물, 용수저수지, 돌개기못, 모사니물, 웃못 등은 식물의 종다양성이 높을 뿐만 아니라 다양한 생활형의 식물이 분포하고, 수생식물의 유형이 다양하고 수생식물의 종수 또한 많아 습지에 대한 환경 교육의 기본적인 지식의 습득과 자연 관찰을 위한 자연학습장으로의 활용이 가능할 것으로 보인다. 그리고 이들 수생식물들 중에는 보호대상 식물인 물부추, 좀어리연꽃, 통발, 흑삼릉 등이 출현하고 있어 이에 대한 보존대책이 필요하다고 생각된다.

BACKGROUND: Constructed wetlands for wastewater treatment are vegetated by wetland plants. Wetland plants are an important component of wetlands, and the plants have several roles in relation to the livestock wastewater treatment processes. The objectives of this study were to investigate the growth characteristics and nutrient absorption of water plants in constructed wetlands for treating livestock wastewater. METHODS AND RESULTS: In this study, livestock wastewater treatment plant by constructed wetlands consisted of $1^{st}$ water plant filtration bed, $2^{nd}$ activated sludge bed, $3^{rd}$ vertical flow(VF), $4^{th}$ horizontal flow(HF) and $5^{th}$ HF beds. Phragmites communis TRINIUS(PHRCO) was transplanted in $3^{rd}$ VF bed, Iris pseudoacorus L(IRIPS) was transplanted in $4^{th}$ HF bed and PHRCO, IRIPS and Typha orientalis PRESEL(THYOR) were transplanted in $5^{th}$ HF. Growth of water plants in constructed wetlands were the highest in October. The IRIPS growth was higher than other plant as 264 g/plant in October. The absorption of nitrogen and phosphorus by IRIS were 3.38 g/plant and 0.634 g/plant, respectively. The absorption of K, Ca, Mg, Na, Fe, Mn, Cu and Zn by water plants were higher in the order of IRIPS > THYOR > PHRCO. CONCLUSION(S): The absorption of nutrients by water plants were higher on the order of IRIPS > THYOR > PHRCO in constructed wetlands for treating livestock wastewater.

최근 들어 도심구간의 하천에도 치수에 지장이 없는 범위 내에서는 적극적으로 수생식물의 식재를 장려하고 있다. 그러나 현재 도심구간의 하천에는 무분별하게 수생식물을 식재함으로써 홍수시 흐름의 강한 유속에 의해 수생식물이 훼손, 유실되고 있어 도심구간 하천의 식재 지침이 필요한 상황이다. 본 연구에서는 도심구간 하천의 식재 지침 수립을 위한 전 단계로서, 도심구간 하천에 서식하는 주요 수생식물을 선정하고 이들의 서식에 적합한 수리 특성을 규명하고자 한다. 이를 위해 서울의 양재천, 성북천, 탄천 및 중랑천을 대상으로 수생식물의 서식현황을 살펴보고, 흐름의 특성에 따른 거동 분석을 조사하여, 적정 서식 영역을 제시하였다. 조사 결과 도심구간 하천에 서식하는 적정 수종으로 달뿌리풀, 갈대, 물억새, 갯버들 등을 선정하였으며, 이들의 흐름에 대한 거동 분석을 위해 흐름의 수심, 유속, Froude수를 각 수종 및 성장도와 관련시켜 검토하였다.

In order to evaluate the role of macrophytes as refuge of zooplankton on physical distribution (i.e. summer rainfall), we investigated the environmental factors, macrophytes, and zooplankton in waterside zones (macrophytes zones) and open water zones of 17 wetlands from May and August, 2011. In this study, a total of 51 zooplankton species were identified, and Polyarthra sp. and Diaphanosoma brachyurum were found to be the most dominant species. Waterside area of each wetland were occupied by a total of 10 macrophyte species, species composition and biomass (dry weight) were different in the survey sites. Zooplankton was more abundant in waterside zone than open water zones lacking macrophytes (One-way ANOVA, df=2, F=27.1, P<0.05), in particular, waterside zone of 1, 8, 9, 10, and 11 wetland were supported by high zooplankton density after summer rainfall. This wetlands were developed by various macrophyte species than other wetland, and submerged plant commonly presented. Waterside zones with various macrophyte species provides complexity to the habitat structure, should be utilized as refuge to avoid disturbance such as summer rainfall. The results indicate that macrophytes are the key components to enhance bio-diversity include zooplankton, and the inclusion of diverse plant species in wetland construction or restoration schemes will result in ecologically healthy food webs.

Objectives of this experiment were to select of the optimum water plant and to investigate the removal efficiency of the major nutrients in the constructed wetland by natural purification method for municipal sewage treatment in the farming and fishing village. For the experiment we used "constructed wetland" which was consisted of aerobic (vertical filter system) and anaerobic systems (horizontal filter system). Both systems were filled with gravel and filter media, and grew water plants on top of them. And then, we investigated several items such as sewage treatment efficiency, growth status of water plants and the absorbed amount of inorganic element in water plants with periodical periods. In aerobic area, removal efficiencies of BOD, COD, T-N and T-P were over 92%, 74%, 25% and 57%, respectively, and then when the water is passed through anaerobic area, the efficiency was over 96%, 84%, 44% and 71%, respectively, which was increased more treatment efficiency than that of aerobic area. Absorption amount of nitrogen and phosphorous in Miscanthus sacchariflorus BENTH were the highest in the water plants as 17.7 and 2.41 g/plant in the aerobic area, respectively. Absorption amounts of nitrogen and phosphorous in Scirpus tabernaemontani GMEL were the highest in the water plants as 8.7 and 1.13 g/plant in the anaerobic area, respectively. For the selection of optimum water plants in the constructed wetland by natural purification method for municipal sewage treatment, it were observed that there were Miscanthus sacchariflorus BENTH, Phragmites japonica STEUD and Phragmites communis TRINIUS in the aerobic area and were Zizania latifolia TURCZ, Scirpus tabernaemontani GMEL, Typha orientalis PRESL, Iris pseudoacorus L and Cares dispalata BOOTT in the anaerobic area.

We monitored 32 wetlands in order to investigate the influence of aquatic plants on zooplankton density and diversity in the littoral zone in Gyeongsangnam-do from May to June in 2011. A total of 65 zooplankton species were identified in the study sites. Among them, the diversity of epiphytic zooplankton were higher (40 species) than planktonic zooplankton. Littoral zones of all wetlands were covered by various aquatic plants, and influenced the epiphytic zooplankton assemblages. Based on the data from $1{\times}1$ (m) quadrat sampling, epiphytic and planktonic rotifer density showed no significant relationships with macrophyte cover. However, the epiphytic cladocerans density significantly increased under high aquatic plant cover ($r^2=0.39$, p<0.05, n=32). Types of aquatic plants strongly influenced epiphytic zooplankton density. Upo and Jangcheok are locations which have well developed Phragmites communis and Ceratophyllum demersum communities in the littoral zone, and a higher density of epiphytic zooplankton was recorded on the surface of C. demersum. Especially, rotifers such as Lepadella, Monostyla and Testudinella showed obvious differences (One-way ANOVA, p<0.05 for all three species). This result suggests that epiphytic zooplankton have a substrate preference for larger surface areas, likely for adherence, on C. dimersum. In conclusion, the complex structure of the littoral plant community is expected to provide diverse refuge and microhabitats to epiphytic zooplankton.

This study presents the flow response and habitat region of the aquatic plants in the urban streams. Phragmites japonica, Phragmites communis, Miscanthus sacchariflorus, Persicaria blumei and Persicaria thunbergii were selected as for typical plants. Flow response and habitat region were determined by flow velocity/depth and vegetation growth. Stages for flow response of the aquatic plants were classified into stable, recovered, damaged and swept away. Criteria between the recovered and damaged stage was determined by the bending angle of $30{\sim}50^{\circ}$. Capability against flow was high in the order of Phragmites japonica, Phragmites communis, Miscanthus sacchariflorus, Persicaria blumei and Persicaria thunbergi. Phragmites japonica and Phragmites communis were capable of coping with flow depth 0.9 m, flow velocity 1.5 m/s and with flow depth 1.0 m, flow velocity 0.9 m/s, respectively. Miscanthus sacchariflorus was capable within the region of flow depth 1.0 m and flow velocity 0.6 m/s. Persicaria blumei and Persicaria thunbergii were less capable than the other aquatic plants and were vulnerable exceeding the water depth of 1.0 m. Habitat regions by the flow response of each plants were suggested.
