The wetland ecosystem is a complex products of various erosion force, accumulation as water flows, hydrogeomorphic units, seasonal changes, the amount of rainfalls, and other essential element. There is no single, correct, ecologically sound definition for wetlands because of the diversity of wetlands and the demarcation between dry and wet environments occurs along a continuum, but wetland plays various ecosystem functions. Despite comprehensive integration through classification and impact factors there is still lacking in systematic management of wetlands. Classification system developed by the USFWS(1979) is hierarchical progresses from systems and subsystems at general levels to classes, subclasses, dominance types, and habitat modifiers. Systems and subsystems are delineated according to major physical attributes such as tidal flushing, ocean-derived salts, and the energy of flowing water or waves. Classes and subclasses describe the type of substrate and habitat or the physiognomy of the vegetation or faunal assemblage. Wetland classes are divided into physical types and biotic types. For the wise management of wetlands in Korea, this study was carried out to examine methodology of USFWS classification system and discuss its application for Korean wetland hydrogeomorphic units already known. Seven wetland types were chosen as study sites in Korea divided into some different types based on USFWS system. Three wetland types belonging to palustrine system showed no difference between Wangdungjae wetland and Mujechi wetland, but Youngnup of Mt. Daeam was different from the former two types at the level of dominant types. This fact means that setting of classification system for management of wetland is needed. Although we may never know much about the wetland resources that have been lost, there are opportunities to conserve the riches that remain. Extensive inventory of all wetland types and documentation of their ecosystem functions are vital. Unique and vulnerable examples in particular need to be identified and protected. Furthermore, a framework with which to demonstrate wetland characteristics and relationships is needed that is sufficiently detailed to achieve the identification of the integrity and salient features of an enormous range of wetland types.

기후변화 대응을 위한 탄소 중립의 중요성이 대두되는 요즘, 생태계의 가장 큰 메탄 저장소로서 지구의 탄소 순환에 주요한 영향을 미치는 습지에 대한 이해는 필수적이다. 전지구 지면 모델인 Community Land Model(CLM)에 Functionally Assembled Terrestial Ecosystem Simulator(FATES) 외부 모듈을 함께 구동한 지면 생태계 모델 CLM-FATES는 지면 heterogeneity와 다양한 식생 종류를 고려하여 에너지 플럭스, 토양 수문, 생화학적 과정 등을 모의함으로써 탄소 동태 변화를 포함한 장기적 생태계 동태 변화 모의를 가능하게 한다. 본 연구는 CLM-FATES 모델을 미국 캘리포니아주 Mayberry Wetland (US-Myb)와 Twitchell East End Wetland (US-Tw4)에 적용하였다. 모델의 대기 입력 자료로는 FLUXNET-CH4에서 제공하는 에디 공분산 기반 플럭스 관측 자료를 사용하였다. 기존 CLM-FATES 모델은 토양이 장기간 포화 혹은 침수되어 지표 위 혹은 지표면 가까이 발달한 지하수면을 가지고 있는 습지의 수문학적 특성을 잘 반영하지 못해 정밀한 습지 생태계 동태 변화 모의에 한계를 가지고 있다. 본 연구에서는 CLM-FATES를 통한 보다 정확한 습지 생태계 모의를 위해 모델 내 토양 수문 관련 모듈을 수정하여 모델이 습지의 수문학적 특성을 반영할 수 있도록 하였다. 모델 구동 결과 도출한 잠열, 총일차생산량(Gross Primary Production: GPP)과 순생태계생산량(Net Ecosystem Production, NEP) 플럭스, 메탄 플럭스, 엽면적지수(Leaf Area Index; LAI)와 지표수 높이에 대해 관측값 대비 RMSE 및 R² 값을 계산하여 모의 결과의 적절성을 분석하였다. 이러한 모델 개선 경험을 바탕으로 추후 우리나라 습지 사이트에 모델을 적용하여 습지 탄소 동태 예측에 활용할 계획이다.

Wetland also known as "Jheelon" in Hindi language is one of the most important natural resources, contributing various economic and ecological benefits. The study gave a short review of the current status of Ramsar wetlands in India. The wildlife species, conservation measures, and their significance in Indian wetlands were also explored in this review paper. As of 2022, there are 49 Ramsar sites in India covering approximately 1,09363.6 km² of land. The largest Ramsar wetland is Sundarbans, while the smallest is Chandertal. It was found that preventing wetland loss is important even though studies about wetland degradation in various nations including India, caused directly by human activities is still limited. Since Monitoring and protecting natural wetlands, supporting scientific studies on preservation and restoration of wetlands, demand on imposing regulations for limiting pollutant discharges were recommended allowing researchers, policymakers, and practitioners to better maintain wetland and its ecosystem services.

This study suggested a citizen science based model to enhance the efficacy of the managing invasive alien plants and examined whose applicability in 3 Wetland Protected Areas (Jangrok of Gwangju metropolitan city, Madongho of Goseong in South Gyeongsang Province, and Ungok of Gochang in North Jeolla Province). The process consists of (a) collecting citizen scientist including local residents of 3 protected areas and piling up information on the 4 species of invasive alien plants (Sicyos angulatus L., Solanum carolinense L., Ambrosia artemisiifolia L. and Solidago altissima L) in a information platform Ecological Information Bank (EcoBank) from September 18th to October 31th, (b) constructing distribution map containing the location and density (3 phases: individual-population-community) of target plants, (c) providing distribution map to Environment Agency and local government who is principal agent of managing invasive alien plants in 3 protected areas, and from whom (d) surveying applications of the distribution map and opinion for future supplement. As a result, citizen science based monitoring should be continued to complement the nationwide information for the field management of invasive alien plants with the expansion of target species (total 17 plants species that Ministry of Environment in South Korea designated) and period of monitoring in a year to increase the usability of surveyed information from citizen science. In the long run, effectiveness of the management of invasive alien species applied by citizen science should be reviewed including efficacy of field management process from citizen's participating in elimination project of invasive alien plants and time series distribution followed by the management of the species.

Wetlands that provide diverse ecosystem services, such as habitat provision and hydrological control of flora and fauna, constitute ecosystems through interaction between wetlands existing in a wetlandscape. Therefore, to evaluate the wetland functions such as resilience, it is necessary to analyze the ecological connectivity that is formed between wetlands which also show hydrologically dynamic behaviors. In this study, by defining wetlands as ecological nodes, we generated ecological networks through the connection of wetlands according to the dispersal model of wetland species. The characteristics of these networks were then analyzed using various network metrics. In the case of the dispersal based on a threshold distance, while a high local clustering is observed compared to the exponential dispersal kernel and heavy-tailed dispersal model, it showed a low efficiency in the movement between wetlands. On the other hand, in the case of the stochastic dispersion model, a low local clustering with high efficiency in the movement was observed. Our results confirmed that the ecological network characteristics are completely different depending on which dispersal model is chosen, and one should be careful on selecting the appropriate model for identifying network properties which highly affect the interpretation of network structure and function.

This study aims to economically evaluate rice production and various ecological services provided by organic rice paddy carrying out rice-fish mixed farming. It was also conducted to find a stable structure for increasing the income of rice-producing farmers and promoting ecological services by evaluating the economic feasibility of organic rice paddy for rice-fish mixed farming. As a result of the analysis of expected effects by ecological service functions according to the types of agriculture in the rice-fish mixed farming, general conventional paddy fields were evaluated to have an effect of continuously decreasing biodiversity such as amphibian reptiles, aquatic insects, bird habitats, experience and ecological education, and vegetation diversity, while the biodiversity of organic and rice-fish mixed paddy fields was assessed to increase. As a result of evaluating the economic value, as the area for fish production increases compared to the common practice and organic paddy fields, rice production decreases, but fish production increases and total income was analyzed to increase. In addition, if the value of ecosystem service functions is assessed in the future, it will increase further. It is hoped that these findings will be used as basic data for solving oversupply problems in the rice industry, preserving safe farm income, and improving sustainable farming and ecosystem service functions.

습지는 생태자원의 보고로 다양한 생물종의 서식지를 제공하며, 습지 생태계는 어느 생태계보다 생산성이 높다. 습지는 잦은 수위변동으로 인해 습지의 식물은 수위의 영향을 많이 받는다. 따라서, 식물종의 특징과 최적의 생육환경과의 관계를 규명하기 위해 수위에 따른 식물의 서식환경을 분석해야 한다. 본 연구에서는 자연생태계가 잘 발달되어 있는 남한강의 비내섬 습지에 대해 유황분석을 하였고 유황에 따른 유량을 모의하였다. 모의된 유량과 HEC-RAS 모형을 이용하여 유황별 홍수위를 산정하였으며, RAS Mapper를 이용하여 침수심과 침수구역을 모의하였다. 이를 통해 침수심에 영향을 많이 받는 식물의 서식환경을 분석하였다. 버드나무군락은 침수가 발생하지 않는 지역 및 0~0.8m의 침수심, 물억새군락은 침수가 발생하지 않는 지역 및 0~0.4m의 침수심, 쑥-망초군락과 달뿌리풀군락은 0~0.4m의 침수심, 그리고 환삼덩굴군락은 0~0.8m의 침수심이 발생하는 지역에서 서식하는 것으로 분석되었다. 본 연구의 결과는 유황에 따른 침수심에 대한 식생서식환경을 분석한 것으로 식생을 고려한 인공습지 조성이나 하천설계에 있어 기초적인 자료가 될 것으로 기대된다.
