  • Peregrine falcon (Falco peregrinus) are listed as endangered species and Natural monument #323 in Korea, and this study examined the possibility of extinct of peregrine falcon in Jang Hang wetland near Han river using with the application of Population Viability Analysis (PVA) technique. In Jang Hang wetland areas population was monitored during 1999-2005 averaging 10.8 individuals and PVA analysis was done for the 5 years (2015-2020) using the average population size. Using the initial population was estimated 20% of extinct rate during the time. This estimation was quite low considering water pollution and loss of habitat. Also PVA only used population size lacking in other life history information. Nonetheless falcon population can be in risk of extinction if the current construction of crossovers in the river, cement bank are maintained. Long term information regarding life history needs essential.

  • This paper interprets the hidden structure, layers and figures into cultural landscape, invisible landscape, by using landscape adjectives based on Place Memory of locals. Methods for obtaining local landscape information are through semi-standardized interview and autobiographical questionnaires. As a research site, Janghang in Korea which have experienced not only colonized and autonomous industrialization but also de-industrialization is a typical modern industrial landscape even in Asia. Thus, the landscape is interpreted as layered images like a stratum and as a dynamic landscape that changes over time. People only remember selected memories such as regional and national images affected from industrial developing paradigm in Korea. Some images of the landscape are distorted by powers and influenced by places of memory. This study brings us some discussions that 'What do we look at and remember about the landscape?'

  • We aim to unveil dietary history recorded in Neolithic human bone from Janghang site at Gadeok Island, Busan. Excavation of Janghang site at Gadeok Island from 2010 to 2011 is an outstanding discovery in Korean Neolithic archaeology. A large number of human bones (48 individuals) were found at Janghang site, which is the largest-scale Neolithic cemetery in Korea. We extracted human bone collagen from 10 individuals and stable carbon and nitrogen isotope analysis were carried out using carbon and nitrogen analyzer connected to a continuous-flow isotope-ratio-monitoring mass-spectrometer. Although bone histological analysis shows poor preservation state, stable isotope results correspond well with bone collagen quality indicator, which implies that bone collagen reflects lifetime signature. Stable carbon and nitrogen isotope result indicates highly marinebased diet(${\delta}^{13}$C=$-14.5{\pm}1.3$‰, ${\delta}^{15}$N=$-17.4{\pm}1.7$‰, n=10), however the possible input of terrestrial animal and wild plant cannot be excluded. Our isotopic findings provide an invaluable information on Neolithic subsistence economy in this coastal area. In addition, Janghang site shows specific features in burial methods and burial goods. Two different burial methods of arranging bodies are found with extended burial type and particularly high ratio of flexed burial type. There are also burial goods such as pottery. However, there are no significant isotopic differences according to burial methods and burial goods. Although this is a preliminary study on this site, our research will provide important clues in understanding isotopic dietary history of Korean Neolithic people.

Aboveground Primary Productivity of Salix nipponica and Secondary Productivity of Sesarma dehaani at Janghang Wetland in Han River Estuary (한강하구 장항습지의 선버들(Salix nipponica)의 지상부 1차생산성과 말똥게(Sesarma dehaani)의 2차생산성)

  • We estimated aboveground primary productivity of Salix nipponica based on biomass using allometry and basal area at Janghang wetland in Han River estuary. In addition, we estimated secondary production of sesarmine crab (Sesarma dehaani) living under the Salix community to interpret relationships between Salix nipponica and Sesarma dehaani. Salix nipponica showed primary productivity of 4,777 g DW $m^{-2}yr^{-1}$, which appear to be the highest primary productivity in South Korea. The estimated amount of autochthonous organic matter from S. nipponica and allochthonous organic matter from the Han River into sediment was 359 g C $m^{-2}yr^{-1}$ and 347 g C $m^{-2}yr^{-1}$, respectively. The secondary productivity of Sesarma dehaani was 100.2 g FW $m^{-2}yr^{-1}$, which was 2.1% of the primary productivity of S. nipponica. The biomass of Sesarma dehanni was average 140 g FW $m^{-2}$, which consumed their prey of approximately 2,140 g FW $yr^{-1}$, which is equivalent to approximately 208 g C $m^{-2}yr^{-1}$.
