The objective of this study was to analyze dominance-diversity of Quercus mongolica community which characterize the boreal-temperate deciduous forest in Korea. Employing the releve method of Muller-Domboes and Ellenberg, 100 quadrats were sampled in the natural forest of Mt. Odae, Mt. Chumbong and Mt. Jungwang in Kangwon-do, where Quercus mongolica community is in the situation of climax or subclimax. On the basis of Braun-Blanquet method, field survey, which accounts ffor the characters of the species structure of Quercus mongolica community, was carried out between 1991 and 1994. Quercus mongolica community was relatively in a stable condition because of the even distribution of its various indices: the species diversity index was 0.4~1.2; the species richness index was 2~11; the evenness index was 0.6~0.9. The dominance-diversity curve were comparatively of lognormal distrivution with a gentle slope in all communities. The species sewuence curve for Quercus mongolica - Lindera obtusiloba community had relatively a steep slope, which meant that the evenness of the community would be low. The species sequence curve for Quercus mongolica - Carpinus cordata community had a slow slope, which meant that the evenness and the stability of the community would be high.

The purpose of this study was to identify characteristics of vegetation structure, vegetation succession, and species diversity of artificially planted Chamaecyparis obtusa (CO) stands. The study was carried out by performing vegetation survey for eight CO stands located in Jeollanam-do Province, Korea. Analysis on vegetation classification and ordinations of the stands was conducted using the data from the vegetation survey, and as a result, the stands were classified into five types of communities. Community I showed a considerably lower index of species diversity when compared to other communities because the canopy of the dominant CO was so highly dense that the low-height vegetation was not able to develop or the low-height vegetation almost disappeared due to elimination of weed trees. Meanwhile, the Community II - IV had relatively higher indices of species diversity because various native tree species mixed with the low-height vegetation and competed with each other in the understory and shrub layers to some degree of stability or in their early stage of vegetation development. Community V, lastly, showed higher use intensity as a recreational forest, thus developing simpler vegetation structure on account of artificial intervention. There was positive correlation between photosynthetically active radiation entering the forest floor, number of observed species and index of species diversity. Such characteristics of vegetation structure in CO stands are closely associated with forest management and prescription for planting reforestation, thinning, and brush cutting in the past. There was a slight difference in vegetation structure and species diversity by communities, based on rotation time of the vegetational succession, process of disturbance frequency and disturbance, development, and maturity by planting CO stands. However, when compared to natural forests, the CO stands showed simpler vegetation structure. Because artificial forests are vulnerable in ecosystem service with lower species diversity, a drive for ecological management is needed for such forests to change into healthy ecosystems that can display functions of public benefit.

On the basis of vegetation data collected by point-centered quarter method in analysis in Baekdudaegan of Gangwon province in the area of Hyangrobong, Odaesan, Seokbyeongsan, Dutasan, Deokhangsan and Hambaeksan, the study was carried out to classify forest communities and to evaluate the successional trends. The classification method of cluster analysis was used to make various disordered forests into several common groups for 1,004 sample points all together. By clustering the forests in the six study areas were classified into 28 forest communities, which were subjected to aggregate 8 representative forest communities on the count of species composition and species diversity. They were Mesophytic mixed forest community, others deciduous forest community, Quercus mongolica (dominant) community, Q. mongolica (pure) community, Pinus densiflora - Q. mongolica community, P. densiflora community, Betula ermanii community and Q. mongolica - Pinus koraiensis community. The ecological outlook from the result indicated that P. densiflora community and P. densiflora - Q. mongolica community, which were located in Seokbyeongsan, Dutasan and Deokhangsan around 1,000m above the sea level showed lower species diversity index. On the contrary Mesophytic mixed forest community, others deciduous forest community which was located in Hyangrobong, Odaesan and Hambaeksan mostly in protected area and national park around 1,500m above the sea level displayed higher species diversity index. As the composition ratio of Q. mongolica within a certain community was decreased, the species diversity was generally increased, assumed that abundance of Q. mongolica might be negatively associated with species diversity in the national deciduous forest.

최근 우리나라의 2030년 10GW의 농촌 태양광 보급목표 달성을 위해 전국적으로 분포하고 있는 저수지 및 댐 등의 공유 수면을 활용한 수상태양광 설치가 적극 검토되고 있다. 수상태양광 사업의 증가와 함께 수상태양광 설치 및 운영이 환경적 측면에서 논쟁이 대두되고 있으나 수상태양광 발전시설이 호소 수생태계에 미치는 영향을 판단할 수 있는 장기적인 조사나 과학적 연구가 부족한 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 저수지에 설치되어 있는 수상태양광 발전시설에 의한 수생태계에 미치는 영향을 파악하기 위해 수상태양광이 운영되고 있는 2개소의 저수지를 대상으로 식물플랑크톤, 동물플랑크톤, 저서성 대형무척추동물, 어류 군집조사를 2개년(2017~2018년) 동안 실시하여 각각의 종풍부도 및 종다양도 지수를 분석하였다. 1차년도에는 수상태양광 패널 설치지역 및 패널로부터 200~250m로 이격거리를 유지하면서 총 6지점을 조사하였으며, 2차년도에는 수상태양광 패널 하부(영향권) 3지점과 패널로부터 약 250m 이격된 2지점(비영향권)을 대상으로 총 6회의 조사를 수행하였다. 식물성플랑크톤, 동물성플랑크톤, 저서 대형무척추동물, 어류 군집에 대한 종풍부도와 종다양성에 대한 분석결과, 종풍부도 및 종다양도는 발전시설 영향권 지역과 비영향권 지역간에 통계학적으로 유의미한 차이는 없는 것으로 나타났다. 종풍부도는 수상태양광 패널로부터 이격거리가 멀어질수록(열린수역으로 향할수록) 감소하는 수치를 보이다가 저수지 수변부에 가까워지면 높아지는 경향을 나타났다. 종다양도 역시 종풍부도 결과와 유사하게 수상태양광 패널 지역으로부터 이격거리가 증가함에 따라(열린수역으로 향할수록) 지수가 감소하다가 저수지 수변부에 가까울수록 높아지는 결과를 보였다. 이러한 결과는 동식물성 플랑크톤과 저서생물 및 어류 군집의 종풍부도, 종다양도가 수상태양광의 영향권과 비영향권간에 큰 차이를 없음을 나타내고 있으며, 일부 분류군의 경우 열린 수면보다 수상태양광 설비에 의한 반 폐쇄수역에서 종풍부도와 종다양도가 오히려 높게 나타났다. 그러나 본 연구결과는 설치된 수상태양광 패널이 전체 수면의 5% 미만에 해당하는 소규모 시설이므로 본 연구결과를 일반화해서 해석하기에는 한계가 있다. 넓은 수면적에 설치되어 있는 대규모 시설 및 20년 이상 장기간 운영되는 수상태양광 발전시설을 대상으로 지속적인 모니터링 및 누적된 환경영향 평가가 필요할 것으로 판단된다.

에코톱은 생태학적 지휘체계(Niche)와 서식처(Habitat)가 결합된 환경을 의미하며 도면에서 최소한의 단위로 일반적인 구성요소의 상태, 잠재자연식생, 잠재생태계 기능으로 균일하게 분류가 가능한 요소로서 천이단계 또는 토지이용이 서로 다른 패치들로 이루진 생태공간을 의미한다. 따라서 에코톱과 비오톱은 식물과 동물의 특정 군집에 요구되는 서식공간의 개념에서는 의미가 같지만 비오톱은 서식공간의 일부분 또는 한 개 이상의 생물이 서식가능한 공간의 개념으로 사용된다. 현재 네덜란드, 스페인을 포함한 유럽국가에서는 에코톱분류를 통한 하천을 관리하는 방안을 제시하고 있으며 이에 대한 많은 연구가 진행되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 만경강 중류 소양천 합류점에서 전주천 합류점까지 약 3.5km 구간의 제외지포함 제내지 1km 폭을 대상으로 1918년 고지도 토지피복을 분류하고, 1948년 해방이전 항공사진, 2003년 2014년 항공사진을 활용한 에코톱을 분류하여 이에 대한 에코톱 다양성지수를 추이분석하여 하천으로부터 떨어진 거리 별 에코톱다양성지수 변화를 분석하였다. 분석결과 과거 제방축조 이전인 1918년 에코톱 다양성 지수는 하천으로부터 멀어질수록 안정적으로 감소하였으나 1948년 이후의 하천은 제내지에서부터 지수값이 급격히 감소한 것을 알 수 있었다. 이는 1948년 이후의 만경강은 과거 1918년 하천에 비해 구하도 공간이 농경지 증가, 보설치 등으로 인한 인위적 교란에 의한 감소로 분석되어지며 에코톱다양성과 밀접한 연관이 있는 생물종다양성 역시 감소하였음을 유추할 수 있다.

The purpose of this study was to interpret ecological characteristics and to estimate successional trend for seven classified forest cover types (Quercus mongolica pure forest, Q. mongolica-Q. serrata forest, Mixed mesophytic forest, Abies koreana-Q. mongolica forest, Fraxinus mandshurica forest, Q. serrata forest, and Carpinus laxiflora forest) in the natural forest of Western Jirisan. Q. mongolica pure forest and A. koreana-Q. mongolica forest which were distributed in a high-altitude ridge had the lowest species diversity index. On the other hand, mixed mesophytic forest and F. mandshurica forest which were mainly distributed in the valley had higher index. Based on characteristics of species diversity and topographic conditions, successional trends for forest cover types were estimated as follows; 1) Q. mongolica pure forest and A. koreana-Q. mongolica forest would be changed toward Q. mongolica-A. koreana forest. 2) Q. mongolica-Q. serrata forest, distributed between ridge and mid-slope, would be changed toward Q. mongolica-C. laxiflora-C. cordata forest. 3) Q. serrata forest, distributed in mid-slope, would be changed toward Q. serrata-Q. mongolica-C. laxiflora forest. 4) Mixed mesophytic forest, F. mandshurica forest and C. laxiflora forest, distributed in valley, would maintain the current condition in terms of species composition.

Fish species composition and abundance in the waters of nearby Nakdong River estuary were investigated non-continuously and seasonally by shrimp beam trawl in summer 2007, winter 2009, and from spring 2010 to autumn 2010. During the study period, total fish species were collected 92 species, 36 families in study area. Shannon index was 1.893~2.962, and evenness was 0.050~0.231. Fish species composition was shown interannually and seasonally variations in the waters of nearby Nakdong River estuary. We carryed out cluster analysis to contain the data in previous and current study. Fish species composition was divided 3 groups which were 1987~1988 and 1998, 2001~2002, and 2007~2008 and 2009~2010. Average and minimum length in this study was longer than its in previous studies, and length range in this study was wider than its in previous studies, too. Dominant fish increased individuals and weight per unit area in this study. Especially Lophius litulon, Raja kenojei, Eopsetta grigorjewi, and Zeus faber were much better than past 2002. Liparis tanakai, Repomucenus valenciennei and Leiognathus nuchalis were dominant fish in previous study, but those decreased individuals and weight per unit area in this study.

Recognizing the necessity of the development of ecologically sound silvicultural system for the mature Korean pine (Pinus koraiensis), this study was carried out to examine the invasion and growth of understory vegetation after partial cutting. In 1997, the age class VII Korean pine forest in the Experimental Forest of Kangwon National University was opened up about 50% by modified shelterwood cutting with site preparation to induce succeeding regenerations. After 10 years, plenty of hardwood have come to the stand, forming understory vegetation. The abundance and composition of understory vegetation was periodically investigated in the ten $10m{\times}10m$ permanent sample plots, estimating importance values, species diversity index and the distribution of diameter and height of the understory vegetation. Encouraged by canopy opening, the coverage of understory reached perfect closure, composed of 22 tree species and 20 shrub species in 2007. Morus bombycis occupied 29.6% of the total importance value and Cornus controversa was 17.0%, followed by Styrax obassia, Quercus aliena, Quercus mongolica, Acer mono, and Pinus koraiensis. In the year of 2000 the species diversity was highest as 2.547 with 26 tree species and deceasing thereafter, showing 2.220 with 22 tree species in 2007. As understory layer was thickly covered and got grow bigger, some shade intolerant species were disappeared, lowering species diversity. In 2007 the biggest tree was a Quercus aliena with 11.3 cm of DBH and the tallest tree was a Cornus controversa with 9.8m of height. The frequency distribution of number of trees by diameter and height classes formed the inverted-J-shaped curve, supposed to be typical uneven-aged stand.

The purpose of this study was to analyze the habitat status and species diversity of benthic diatoms and estimate the applicability of TDI (Trophic Diatom Index) to obtain the basic data for the identification and management of created wetlands in the Nakdong River. We observed a total of 38 families and 173 species of benthic diatom during the survey period, and spring and autumn showed a similar number of species of 156 and 154, respectively. The result of the SOM (Self-Organizing Map) analysis showed that the distribution of benthic diatom was sensitive to environmental factors such as nutrient concentration and rainfall in each wetland. The cluster 1 was characterized by the survey sites of autumn mostly and consisted of points of high TDI, although the nutrients such as total phosphorus and total nitrogen were low, and the species number and abundance of diatoms were low. Conversely, cluster 4 was characterized by the survey sites of spring mostly and consisted of points of low TDI, even though total nitrogen was high. Considering that most of the created wetlands had the reduced inflow and outflow, the increased flow rate in the summer lowers nutrient values in autumn, and the species number and abundance of benthic diatom decreases due to the increase of turbidity, which reduces the light penetrations to the substrates. On the contrary, the TDI value is low in spring because the low water level causes insufficient substrate surface to the benthic diatoms, and it is too early for the establishment and development of saprophilous species. Although various studies have used TDI as an indicator for evaluating the habitat environment and water quality, it is not a good evaluation indicator in this study since the nutrient concentration in the wetlands mostly high as they have a low flow rate and are close to the stagnant area. Nevertheless, additional periodic surveys that comprehensively reflect the fact that the summer rainfall and inflow/outflow regulating function might affect the species diversity and distribution of benthic diatoms are necessary.
