단위면적당 증발산량 중 일부가 식생의 물질 생산에 이용될 수 있는지를 나타내는 지표인 수분 이용효율 (Water Use Efficiency, WUE)은 총 일차생산성(Gross Primary Productivity, GPP)과 단위면적당 증발산량(Evapotranspiration, ET)의 비로 산출된다. 이전 연구들에서의 수분 이용효율의 적용은 수분 스트레스에 대한 작물의 생산성 차이 분석과 같은 작물학과 농림학 분야의 연구들이 대부분이었지만. 기후 변화가 생태계 생산성 또는 에너지 수지에 영향을 미치는 등의 전 지구적 규모의 수문학적 연구에도 적용할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는, Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) 영상자료에서 1km 해상도로 8일 단위의 총 일차생산성과 증발산량을 산정함으로써 수분 이용효율을 구하였다. 향후에는 산정된 이 지표를 남한지역에 적용하여 수분 이용효율에 대한 지도를 작성하고, 실측된 총 일차생산량과 증발산 값을 이용하여 검증한 후 알고리즘을 개선해 나갈 계획이다.

Rapid urbanization around the world has negatively affected wildlife habitats, including birds. Wild birds settled in the city are adapting to the changed surroundings, and are typically known to make nests using materials that are easy to find around the city. This study was conducted for the purpose of analyzing the nesting materials on the Paridae using artificial bird nests installed in cities. In this study, the researchers established a total of 33 artificial bird nests in urban parks (22) and forests (11) in Cheonan-si, Chungcheongnam-do. Then we collected 4 artificial bird nests in urban parks (18.19%) and 5 in urban forests (45.46%) to compare the characteristics of bird nest materials by the nest, species, and urban green area types. Eight nests, excluding a nest abandoned by a pair of Paridae, were used for the material analysis. The collected nests were dried, and classified into natural materials (vegetable materials, animal materials, moss, and soil) and artificial materials (cotton, paper pieces, plastics, vinyl, and synthetic fibers), and then each nest was weighed. The classification result shows that the portion of moss (50.65%) was the highest in all nests, followed by soil (21.43%), artificial material (13.95%), vegetable material (5.78%), animal material (4.57%), and others (3.59%) in that order. Artificial materials were used in all nests in urban green areas. Moreover, although the Paridae used about 5.16% more vegetable material than the Parus varius, it was not significant (t=2.17, p=0.07). Plant materials and soil were most preferred in urban forests, and moss, animal, and artificial materials were widely used in that order in urban parks. There was a significant difference in the use of vegetable materials between urban parks and urban forests (t=3.07, p<0.05^*). In the habitats like urbanized and dry areas, where artificial materials are highly accessible, artificial materials replaced some roles of natural materials. This study is a basic study for the analysis of the types of materials used in artificial bird nests to understand the habitat system of urban ecosystems. It can be used as the basic data for ecological studies and conservation of the Paridae species.

The urban forest offer many opportunities to maintain and enhance local and regional biological diversity. Pinus densiflora stands in isolated urban forest in five areas of Seoul, Incheon, Daegu, Ulsan, and Cheongju were investigated by landscape and community ecological methods for diagnosis of current status and construction of conservation plan. Species composition of five study areas revealed regional characteristics. As the result of stand dynamics, absence of pine seedlings and saplings were observed. Cheongju, significantly, revealed highest species diversity (H'=1.86) and richness (24) among study areas, and the opposite was true for Daegu (1.35 for H', and 14 for richness). Ratio of alien species was highest in Daegu (15.8%) (F=5.05, p=0.0016). Based on landscape analysis, complexity of pine patch was higher in local city than metropolitans, but statistically not significant (p=0.133). Complexity of pine patch revealed significant positive correlation with diversity and richness, but not with percentage of aliens. Synthetically, ecological management based on community and landscape ecological information was recommended. Cautious artificial regeneration strategy was necessary to regenerate pine forest in urban area.

If there is no choice but to be urbanized, we should examine how human interference has had influences on the area to keep the river environment safe and stable. This study is aimed at finding improvement by examining the effect of human interference in Gapcheon river in Daejeon, which is developing fast. Distinctive features of human interference in Gapcheon river are followings. First, middle and upper reaches of Gapcheon river are being maintained and restored focusing on flood control but are scheduled to develop city and channel. Second, the rear area of middle and lower reaches of Gapcheon river is already developed into an urban district and solidified into artificial stream for leisure activities installing the artificial structure for fun. Third, lower reaches of Gapcheon river are in an unstable condition because of straightening waterway and developing rear area of river. Up to now, geographical features and bio-diversity of Gapcheon river has been ruined by the artificial management of river centered for technical engineering. From now on, followings should be considered for management of urban river. First, it is focused on maintaining eco system by itself than usage for human. Second, natural features of rear area of river should be taken into consideration and should be preserved before developing urban city and hills, back marsh, channel deposit and swamp to directly have an influence on river.

The Jeongdori windbreak forests of Wando island, located between the sea and the land, are very important as ecological succession areas that protect cultivated lands and fishing villages. Among the Jeongdori windbreak forests, the rocky seashore areas are occupied by Sageretia theezans mantle community, and their inner sections by sub-tree layers such as Ligustrum japonicum and Ligustrum obtusifolium. More specifically, the inner sections of the rocky seashore areas were found to be the habitat of Ligustrum japonicum-Quercus variabilis community, Ligustrum jarponicum-Viburnum erosum community, Ligustrum japonicum-Cinnamomum japonicum community, Cinnamomum japonicum-Carpinus tschonoskii community, and Pinus densiflora-Viburnum erosum community. The average height of tree layers of the Jeongdori windbreak forests is 10.3m, and the average diameter at breath height are 30.3cm. Though the windbreak forests was artificially made, it is now virtually natural forest and deserves protection for ecological reasons. Designated as a scenic spot 3, it is always in the danger of being damaged by frequent tourist visits. So the Jeongdori windbreak forest needs to be continuous maintenance and management by the National Park Service. Considering of the precious cultural treasures of the famous pebble stones covering Gugyedeung and the naturality of the Jeongdori windbreak forests, the Jeongdori windbreak forests as a scenic spot have to designated as the national monument in future and will preserve by the Cultural Properties Administration.

This study was accomplished for verifying the biotope field survey accuracy in the forests. Biotope data is used as the standard for the preservation and restoration of the urban ecosystem. The study area is the forests of Gwanak-gu, Seoul. For verifying accuracy, first we compared biotope field survey results between 2000 and 2005, second we compared between field survey results and satellite imagery. For comparing with satellite imagery, we delineated the evergreen-coniferous forests from imagery taken during winter season. As a result of comparison, the ratio of most actual vegetation types by delineated detail field surveys were matched around 92% between 2000 and 2005. But, between 2 field surveys, around 60% of total vegetation type was regionally matched. Evergreen-coniferous forests extracted by satellite imagery were regionally matched 69.4% of field survey result in 2000, and matched 80% of the result in 2005. If we consider the delineating errors from deciphering the picture, the results have high accuracy, especially 2005. The processes of verifying accuracy have not been proceeding in the part of delineating actual vegetation works. The verification of accuracy is important for the renewal process. Thus, the various verification methods will be studied and criteria should be developed for enhancing objectivity.

We described a spatial distribution pattern and floral diversity on the Paspalum distichum community occurring at the ecological parks of Hwamyeong, Daejeo, Samnak, and Maekdo in the Nakdong river estuary. A total distribution area of P. distichum community was $303,462.6m^2$. Its largest area was found in Samnak eco-park ($185,910.1m^2$). The most richness of knotgrass patches in each ecological park was determined Maekdo eco-park (87). Cover class level-5 shows the largest area ($260,663.2m^2$). A total of 73 taxa (34 families, 55 genus, 65 species, and 8 varieties) were listed up on the P. distichum community. A welldeveloped population of knotgrass was found predominantly at sites linked into human impacts at the riverine floodplain, the stream courses flowing through the parks, and the man-made channels and wetlands. Finally we proposed an ecological management strategy for knotgrass population in the study area.

급속한 산업화로 인한 오염물질의 증가와 생물서식처의 감소는 수자원과 생태계를 위협하고 있다. 국내의 경우 수자원의 질을 개선하기 위해 '90년대 초부터 하수처리시설 등의 저감시설을 대폭 확충하였으나 현재까지 팔당호 등 주요상수원이 목표수질에 못 미치고 있으며 그 원인은 유입오염물질의 $22{\sim}37%$를 차지하는 비점오염원으로 지목되고 있다. 또한 생태.경관적 가치가 높은 수변지역은 각종 개발로 생물서식처가 급속도로 감소하여 종 다양성 보전 측면에서 대책마련이 시급한 실정이다. 이와 유사한 상황에 직면한 선진외국에서는 '하천회랑(river corridor)' 또는 '토양 및 생태시스템을 포함하는 수역과 육역의 점이(漸移)지대'를 의미하는 이른바 '수변완충지대(Riparian Buffer Zones)'의 오염정화 및 생태조성 효과 등의 연구를 통해 효율적 조성방안을 제시하고 있으며 다양한 형태로 현장에 적용하고 있다. RBZs의 일반적인 기능으로는, 유사나 오염물질의 여과 및 차단(필터링 효과), 영양염류의 저감, 하천변 식생을 통한 수자원의 정화 및 강턱의 안정화, 홍수로 인한 하천침식의 방지, 수변 생물 서식처 제공, 수변 그늘 제공에 의한 수온상승 방지, 심미 교육 위락 공간 제공 등이다. 본 연구에서는 외국의 RBZs(Riparian Buffer Zones)가이드라인을 참고하여 국내실정에 맞는 파일럿 규모의 시험완충지를 설계 및 조성하였다. 시험완충지는 남한강 연안에 초본류, 갈대류, 관목류, 자연식생, 혼합식생 등 5가지 'dry biotope'형태로 설치하여 1년간 계절별로 운영하였다. 또한 실험의 정량화와 다양한 조건변화를 위해 차수막, 위어, 유량.농도 조절장치, 라이시미터 등 보조시설을 설치하였고, 정기적인 모니터링을 실시하였다. 조사결과 외국사례를 살펴보면 RBZs의 적정 폭은 수질정화기능의 경우 $15{\sim}30m$, 생태서식처 기능은 최소 90m이상으로 제시되며, 시험완충지의 수질정화효과는 SS, T-N, T-P, TOC의 평균저감율이 각각 50%이상으로 나타났다. 식생모니터링 결과, 환삼덩굴 등 우점종의 잠식속도는 약 15일이며 갈대와 갯버들의 경우 우기시 인공목책호안과 동일한 침식방지 효과를 보이는 것으로 관찰되어 식생의 주기적인 모니터링과 지역 특성에 적합한 우점종 선정이 매우 중요한 것으로 판단된다.

In 2000, a total of 23,794ha of forest was lost due to the East Coast forest fire, and about 70% of the damaged area was concentrated in Samcheok. In 2001, artificial restoration and natural restoration were implemented in the damaged area. This study was conducted to understand the current vegetation structure 21 years after the restoration of forest fire damage in the Samcheok, Gumbong Mountain area. As a result of classifying the vegetation community, it was divided into three communities: Quercus variabilis-Pinus densiflora community, Pinus densiflora-Quercus mongolica community, and Pinus thunbergii community. Quercus variabilis, Pinus densiflora, and Pinus thunbergii planted in the artificial restoration site were found to continue to grow as dominant species in the local vegetation after restoration. As for the species diversity index of the community, the Quercus variabilis-Pinus densiflora community dominated by deciduous broad-leaf trees showed the highest, and the coniferous forest Pinus thunbergii community showed the lowest. Vegetation in areas affected by forest fires is greatly affected by reforestation tree species, and 21 years later, it has shown a tendency to recover to the forest type before forest fire. In order to establish DataBase for effective restoration and to prepare monitoring data, it is necessary to construct data through continuous vegetation survey on the areas affected by forest fires.
