본 연구에서는 순천만(전남 순천시 해룡면 농주리) 연안습지에서 온도(퇴적물/대기), 퇴적물 내 유기탄소 및 대기 중 이산화탄소의 관계에 대해 분석하였다. 현장관측은 2008년 3월 16일11시부터 15시 사이에 수행되었으며, 약 300 m X 100 m의 갯벌 지역 내 30개 지점에서 조사되었다. 퇴적물과 대기의 온도와 대기 중 이산화탄소량은 현장에서 측정되었으며, 각 지점에서 채취된 퇴적물 내 유기탄소량은 부경대학교 공실관에서 TOC Analyzer를 이용하여 분석되었다. 퇴적물과 대기 중의 온도는 각각 13.2$\sim$17.5$^{\circ}C$ 및 15.0$\sim$18.9$^{\circ}C$의 범위이었으며, 평균은 15.65$^{\circ}C$와 17.51$^{\circ}C$로서 대기 온도가 약 2$^{\circ}C$ 정도 높았다. 대기 중 이산화탄소량은 퇴적물 직상부, 상부 0.5 m 및 1.0 m의 3개 지점에서 측정되었다. 각 지점별 평균 이산화탄소량은 퇴적물 직상부 352 ppm, 상부 0.5 m 지점 355 ppm, 상부 1.0 m 지점 363 ppm으로서 거의 유사하였으나, 퇴적물에서 상부로 갈수록 약간 증가하는 경향을 보였다. 대기 중 이산화탄소량의 분산은 퇴적물 직상부와 상부 0.5 m 지점에 비해 상부 1.0 m 지점에서 약 3배 정도 높게 나타났으며, 이는 주변 대기의 영향에 의한 것으로 판단된다. 현장에서 채취된 퇴적물 내 유기탄소량은 0.60$\sim$1.12%의 범위이었으며, 평균은 0.72% 이었다. 유기탄소량의 분산은 0.01로서 매우 낮았으며, 또한 1개 지점(1.12%)을 제외하면 유기탄소량의 범위는 0.60$\sim$0.82% 정도로서 연구지역 내 유기탄소량의 공간적인 분포가 비교적 균질함을 알 수 있었다. 본 연구를 통해, 대기 중 이산화탄소량은 온도효과와 주변 대기와의 혼합 정도에 따라 영향을 받고 유기탄소는 이러한 영향성이 적었음을 알 수 있었다.

We analyzed the spatio-temporal distribution characteristics of water quality and phytoplankton communities in the Isa Stream systems (ISS) from Sangsa Lake to Suncheon Bay. Sangsa Lake showed relatively oligotrophic and mesotrophic conditions, but the freshwater and mixed brackish water zones showed more severe eutrophication than Sangsa Lake and Suncheon Bay due to the influence of industrial waste such as livestock waste. In terms of the phytoplankton community, the number of phytoplankton species was higher in freshwater and mixed brackish water zones than in Sangsa Lake and Suncheon Bay, but the cell density and Chlorophyll-a concentrations (Chl-a) were relatively high in Sanga Lake and Suncheon Bay. In particular, the mesotrophic species Fragilaria crotonensis and Asterionella formosa showed different dominance in the surface and bottom layers, and the influence of A. formosa was significant in the freshwater and mixed brackish water zones in spring and summer. However, Skeletonema costatum-ls, a eutrophic indicator species, dominated in mixed brackish water zones to seawater in autumn and winter. Thus, the severe eutrophication and rapid environmental changes in the ISS could seriously damage the coastal ecosystem in Suncheon Bay. These ecosystem changes are threatening in terms of conservation and management of the UNESCO Suncheon Biosphere Reserve and Yeoja Bay including Suncheon Bay, which recorded the first Ramsar wetland in Korea. Therefore, further research is needed to establish an in-depth management plan.

This study was conducted to survey the population of water birds wintering at the seven coastal wetlands of Jeollanam province including Suncheon Bay and Yeongsan Lake, from 2000 through 2003. The 90 species and 857,570 individuals in total were sighted at the seven survey sites. We classified the wintering water birds into seventeen groups of taxa based on the similar ecological attributes, among which, eight groups were found to inhabit the water surface or riparian areas. Classified groups that showed higher rate of using bay areas than that of lake areas were in the order of waders, gulls and swans. On the other hand, the groups that showed higher rate of using lake areas than that of using bay areas were revealed in the order of dabbling ducks, grebes and geese. In conclusion, there was a difference in the pattern between the two classified groups. As a result of the UPGMA cluster analysis using CCs ($S{\varnothing}rensen'a$ index of similarity and Ro (Horn's index of community overlap), the results showed that Suncheon Bay had the most unique species formation out of the seven areas. Bay and lake areas were different from each other in the formation of species and Individuals. As a result of combining the index rank according to the maximum aggregate count, the Suncheon Bay is ranked the highest in importance of the habitats for water birds, followed by the order of Boseong-Deukryang Bay, Gangjin Bay, Gocehongam Lake, Geumho Lake, Yeomam Lake, and Yeongsan Lake. Considered overall, the importance of the bay areas was relatively higher than that of reclaimed lake areas.
