The wetland in the city could be mainly divided into the deep water type and the abandoned paddy type, so this study was conducted to analyze characteristics between the two types of the wetland. The former sample site was located near the Olympic village in Songpa-gu of Seoul, and the latter sample site was in front of the Mt. Bukhan fortress in Eunpyeong-gu of Seoul. The actual vegetation, vascular plants, and avian fauna were researched. In the actual vegetation, the deep water type had the broad surface of water and the emerged plant as Phragmites communis have grown widely, but the abandoned paddy type had the narrow sur-face of water and hydrophyte as Persicaria thunbergii have grown widely. It might be judged because the water depth of the abandoned paddy type were shallow wholly. And the floating-leaved plants and the free-floating planktonic plants were not observed such as Nymphaea tetragona var. angusta, Lemna paucicostata in the abandoned paddy type wetland. The wild birds were mainly observed at the edge of the wetland(at the edge of woodland) in the abandoned paddy type, but were observed equally in the deep water type. 28 families 433 species were observed at the former site and 32 families 365 species were observed at latter site. It was judged that the various topographical structure(habitat diversity) might make all items various.

It was preliminarily considered that Jangdo wetland was a concave landform formed by the weathering of granite intruding Precambrian silicified metasedimentary rocks. Various granite-weathered topography was observed. The formation scenario of Jangdo wetland is as follows. By flood or slope mass movement of regolith, rock fragments were moved to form a low-relief slope landform. As a result, wetland was formed. By analyzing the slope soil and wetland sediment, we conjectured that Jangdo wetland depended on the influence of peripheral slope soil. In these concavelandform environment, the supply of water and organic materials was sustained for a long time to form a organicnondegradable wetland environment. In addition, the plants appropriate to this wetland environment were settled to thicken the wetland. This is how the present Jangdo wetland was thought to be formed.

Damyang Wetland Reserve with $980,575m^2$ area is located in Damyang-gun, Jeonlanam-do and Buk-gu, Gwangju Metropolitan City. The purpose of this paper is to divide Damyang riverine wetland into several geomorphic units, to analyze their sediments, and to categorize small ecosystem units composing riverine wetland. Riverine wetlands are classified into three types such as riverbed-, floodplain-, and abandoned-channel-wetland, and Damyang riverine wetland belongs to riverbed-wetland type. In this paper to categorize small geomorphic units of riverine wetland, we divide small geomorphic units from aircraft images analysis, and modify and supplement them following field survey results. Damyang Wetland Reserve is categorized into 22 ecosystem units. That physical and chemical properties of their sediments are different spatially, implicate that inorganic environment of Damyang riverine wetland ecosystem is very extensive. On the basis of the results of this study, policymakers will be able to design a strategy which manage Damyang Riverine Wetland Reserve more effectively, and for them interdisciplinary researches on relationships between various fluvial landforms and various lifeforms inhabiting them in Damyang Riverine Wetland Reserve are required.

기존의 댐에 대한 연구는 이 치수 및 전력생산, 환경문제와 같은 댐의 전통적인 기능과 그 파급효과에 대한 연구가 주로 진행되어 왔으나 댐의 친환경적 활용방안 및 댐에 서식하고 있는 동 식물 및 생태계에 대한 연구는 상당히 미흡한 실정이다. 특히, 댐 상류지역 및 주변지역에 위치하고 있는 습지는 댐의 수질개선, 희귀 동 식물의 서식처 확보 등과 같은 생태보존, 위락 경관 생태공원 등의 기능을 제공할 수 있다. 이로 인해 댐유역에 위치하고 있는 자연습지의 보전뿐만 아니라 훼손에 따른 대체습지(인공습지)의 필요성이 점증되고 있는 실정이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 현재 운영되고 있는 댐을 대상으로 댐이 지니고 있는 습지의 역할을 검토하고자 수문지형학적 방법인 HGM 방법을 이용하여 댐습지의 기능을 평가하였다. HGM 방법을 이용하여 댐습지의 기능평가를 수행하기 위해서는 대상습지와 기준습지가 필요하며, 본 연구에서의 대상지역은 댐 유역내 습지지역이 조성되어 있는 보령댐으로 선정하였으며, 기준지역은 보전이 잘 되어 있고 람사르 협약에 등록된 우포늪으로 선정하였다. HGM 방법에서의 기능 평가는 수문학적, 생지화학적, 식물 서식처 그리고 동물 서식처 측면으로 구분하여 대상지역과 기준지역을 비교하는 방식으로 이루어진다. 그 결과, 댐습지가 지니고 있는 습지의 기능이 자연습지에 비해 평균적으로 약 50%정도의 역할을 하는 것으로 나타났다. 이는 댐습지가 습지로서의 역할을 기능적으로 100% 수행을 못하고 있지만, 댐이 습지의 기능을 어느 정도의 수준까지는 수행을 하고 있음을 알 수 있다.

Authors tried to classify landforms of civilian-restricted trans-border coastal region of the East Sea by using both field survey and remote sensing data including IKONOS images and digital maps. As a result, authors can draw the boundaries of landform units on satellite images and classify landforms effectively. Typical landforms of undisturbed depositional coastal area such as coastal sand dune, sand bar, lagoons, and tombolo are found within the study area. Also, riverine wetlands and estuarine wetlands are readily discernable on both satellite image and field survey. Even though landforms within the study area are relatively small, they are so dynamically connected that their preservation value is very high.

Chilbo Mountain Area have the high water table. Chilbo wetland located near the sully or distributes, but had a little water source by surface water. The most of Chilbo wetland water sources are aquifer or confined aquifer. This hydro-geomorphologic charateristics made them into many rice fields. But today these rice fields changed the watland for this points.

The Jangdo wetland is located on a very gentle slope of the mountain area in Daejangdo island, Shinan-gun, Korea, in which the area of the watershed is estimated at 147,000 m². The wetland has been regarded as a peat bog without any sedimentological evidence. This study was conducted to analyze the geomorphological and sedimentological characteristics of the wetland. The geographic information system (GIS) was used to analyze the drainage system, and field surveys were conducted to measure the range and depth of wetland deposits. The grain size analysis, organic matter determination, elements analysis and radiocarbon dating were performed on samples from the wetland. As a result, the wetland deposits were about 30 cm deep on average, the mean grain sizes ranged from 50 to 500 μm, and the average C/N ratio was 11.5. The portion of organic matter it contained was only 5~26%, which did not satisfy the peat standards. The radiocarbon ages from the wetland deposits range 180±50 ¹⁴C yr BP to modern, which indicated that natural and anthropogenic interferences including agricultural activities have continuously happened. We conclude that the Jangdo wetland is still in its infancy, not a steady state, so that it could be very sensitive to a small disturbance.

It is difficult to analyse geomorphic landscape changes effectively by a field survey. A satellite image interpretation may play an important role to overcome such a problem. The purpose of this study is to assess the accuracy of different method to identify geomorphic landscape change by using satellite imagery. The study area is the Yongjong coastal wetland in which a huge man-made environmental change occured to build a new international airport in the past decade. These changes may be summarized that a coastal landscape has been changed to a terrestrial landscape, and also a natural landscape to a man-made landscape. In order to detect these changes, we applied three different satellite interpreting methods, including a binary change mask using band difference. a binary change mask using normalized band difference. and a binary change mask using NDVI. We concluded that a binary change mask using NDVI is the best method among three different methods analysing the coastal geomorphic-landscape changes.

We described the vegetation of a disturbed lagoon wetland in relation to water and soil environments in Kungae lagoon reclaimed 30 years ago. Water depth and soil organic matter showed a great spatial heterogeneity in Kungae wetland which was changed into a freshwater marsh by the dike construction. Detrended canonical correspondence analysis suggested that differences in vegetation structure were primarily the result of variation in water depth or microtopography and soil organic matter Various emergent vegetations were developed in the wetland: species such as Phragmites australis, Calamagrostis epigeios, Carex dispalata and Lythrum anceps in a wide area, hydrophyes such as Typha angustifolia and Scirpus tabernaemontani at the low elevation with deep water, ruderals such as Bidens frondosa and Persicaria perfoliata near upland with much soil organic matter and sand-dune vegetation such as Carex kobomugi, Diodia tens, Pinus thunbergii and Potentilla egedei var. groenlandica at the high elevation. These results suggest that development of a prototype for wetland restoration from vegetation analysis of other natural lagoons and restoration of natural water tables and hydrologic connections between the diked wetland and the sea are important in the disturbed Kungae wetland.
