Aquatic macrophytes are important factors in determining species diversity and abundance of cladocerans, but the effects of cladocerans on plant species composition or structure have not been fully considered. In South Korea, wetlands and reservoirs that are prone to covering aquatic macrophytes are scattered across the country, so it is necessary to consider on aquatic macrophytes study, when aquatic animals including cladoceran were studied. in this study, the species and abundance of cladocerans community in six microhabitat types are investigated, and based on these results, habitat conservation and efficient management are suggested. The high species numbers and abundance of cladocerans communities were found in mixed plant communities consisting of free-floating, floating-leaved, and submerged plants. The inclusion of submerged plants in plant communities contributes significantly to the complexity of habitat structures, and may increase species and abundance of cladocenran communities. This can be compared to a plant community consisting only of free-floating and floating-leaved plants in the absence of submerged plants, thereby identifying the efficiency of submerged plants. In the mixed plant communities, species diversity was the highest due to the emergence of cladoceran species (Graptoleveris testudinaria, Ilyocryptus spinifer, and Leydigia acanthococcides) absent from other plant communities. The gradual increase in the biomass (g) of submerged plants in the mixed plant communities significantly increased the species numbers and abundance of cladoceran communities (p<0.05). This is strong evidence that the increase of submerged plants in mixed plant communities has a positive effect on efficiency as a habitat for cladocerans. Although submeged plants do not contribute significantly to their landscape/aesthetic value because they are submerged in water, they have the effect of increasing species diversity in terms of biology, so they should be considered important when creating/restoring wetlands.

Distribution, abundance and biomass of submerged macrophytes were assessed using a double-headed rake and an echo-sounder in the Keumpoong Reservoir to investigate the temporal and spatial variations of submerged macrophytes in a small agricultural reservoir located upstream. Slope steepness and water depth in the littoral zone were important controlling factors on flora and vegetation structure of submerged macrophytes. Biodiversity of submerged macrophytes was increased at a gentle slope of the littoral zone. The results of DCA (detrended correspondence analysis) showed that the structure of submerged vegetation depended on the depth of water. Submerged macrophytes were distributed at the maximum water depth of 2.8 m in the Keumpoong Reservoir. The area occupied by the submerged macrophytes was estimated at only 6% of the total reservoir area because of the steep slope of the littoral zone and the large annual water-level fluctuation of 3.5 m. The increase of water level and inflow of turbid water in the rainy season might reduce the biomass of submerged macrophytes in the reservoir. It may be concluded that submerged vegetation in the Keumpoong Reservoir, a small agricultural reservoir located at the upstream, appears to be particularly susceptible to water level fluctuations and slope steepness of the littoral zone.

습지는 다양한 생물종의 서식지를 제공하고 있다. 습지는 물과 영양분이 충분하기 때문에 식물이 서식하기 좋을 것 같지만 실제적으로 습지에서는 잦은 수위변동이 발생하므로 습지에서 식물은 생리적으로 가혹한 환경에 처해 있다고 할 수 있다. 따라서 습지 식물은 서식하는데 있어 수위의 영향을 많이 받는다고 할 수 있으며 습지 조성 및 관리에 있어 습지 식물의 서식환경을 분석하는 것이 필요하다. 이에 본 연구에서는 습지 식물종의 특징과 최적의 생육환경과의 관계를 규명하기 위해 식생서식환경을 침수심과 연계하여 분석하였다. 이를 위해 식물 군락이 잘 발달되어 있는 남한강의 비내섬 습지에 대해 유황분석을 수행하였고, 유황에 따른 유량을 모의하였다. 모의된 유량과 HEC-RAS 모형을 이용하여 유황별 홍수위를 산정하였다. 또한 RAS Mapper를 이용하여 침수심과 침수구역을 모의하고, 이를 통해 여러 생물군 중 침수심에 영향을 많이 받는 식물의 서식환경을 분석하였다. 분석 결과, 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 연구는 유황에 따른 침수심에 대한 식생서식환경을 분석한 것으로 식생을 고려한 인공습지 조성이나 하천설계에 있어 기초적인 자료가 될 것으로 기대되며 보다 더 정확한 연구를 위해서는 장기모니터링을 통한 식생 자료의 축적 및 더 효과적인 수위-식생 연계분석 방법론에 대한 연구가 필요할 것으로 판단된다.

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.

In this study, two types of wetland plants, Eichhornia crassipes (a floating plant) and Ceratophyllum demersum (a submerged plant) were introduced to wetland mesocosms to understand how the water properties of wetlands such as pH, dissolved oxygen content, water temperature, oxidation reduction potential, and nutrient concentrations are affected by different types of wetland plant. The floating plant lives on the water surface and can block light penetration; it exhibited the lowest water temperature and temperature difference between lower and upper layers. After the addition of contaminants, the dissolved oxygen (DO) concentration decreased abruptly but recovered continuously in all mesocosms; especially the submerged plants, which photosynthesize in water, showed the largest increases in DO and diel periodicity DO, as well as in pH value. The oxidation-reduction potential in both water and sediment were affected by the presence of wetland plants and plant type and the results suggest that various aspects of wetland biogeochemistry are affected by the presence and type of wetland plants. The total nitrogen and phosphorous concentrations in water decreased in the following order: Water only < Water + Soil < Floating Plants < Submerged Plants. Although both floating and submerged plants can control algal concentrations, the effect was more prominent for floating plants.

High turbidity submersion due to torrential downpour is one of the factors that influences the plant growth. This study is focused on analyzing the plant's growth rate for Salix species such as gracilisyla, koreensis, glandulosa when these trees are waterlogged. The length of shoots for this control group in the natural state is 33.4% (gracilisyla), 24.3% (koreensis), 23.9% (glandulosa), however, they stopped growing in submersion. Compared to the leaf number of Salix species of this control group in the natural state, 144.5% (gracilisyla), 77.3% (koreensis), 40.3% (glandulosa) in the natural state 30 days, in 30 days submersion, the number of leaves is zero except koreensis. In the results of this experiment, Salix species stopped growing quickly when submersed. This study concludes that it is necessary to plant eco-friendly plants around the slope of the reservoir and dam where flooding takes place frequently.

The vegetation composition for river restoration requires the introduction of plants which have strong flooding tolerance. A study of the growth characteristics of river plants according to the period of flooding is essential. Accordingly, this study measured shoots, leaf number, leaf greenness, dry weight of the plants of Salix species, analyzed their growth rate according to flooding tolerance and the period of flooding, and contrasted the results with those of a flooding experiment in turbid water. The results of this experiment showed that Koreensis is the plant which has the strongest flooding tolerance and flooding in fresh water leads to a much lower risk of the plants being withered than in high turbid water. In addition, the results showed that the condition of the period of flooding of twenty days and under contributes to more growth and development of the plants of Salix species than the condition of non-flooding.

In order to evaluate the role of macrophytes as refuge of zooplankton on physical distribution (i.e. summer rainfall), we investigated the environmental factors, macrophytes, and zooplankton in waterside zones (macrophytes zones) and open water zones of 17 wetlands from May and August, 2011. In this study, a total of 51 zooplankton species were identified, and Polyarthra sp. and Diaphanosoma brachyurum were found to be the most dominant species. Waterside area of each wetland were occupied by a total of 10 macrophyte species, species composition and biomass (dry weight) were different in the survey sites. Zooplankton was more abundant in waterside zone than open water zones lacking macrophytes (One-way ANOVA, df=2, F=27.1, P<0.05), in particular, waterside zone of 1, 8, 9, 10, and 11 wetland were supported by high zooplankton density after summer rainfall. This wetlands were developed by various macrophyte species than other wetland, and submerged plant commonly presented. Waterside zones with various macrophyte species provides complexity to the habitat structure, should be utilized as refuge to avoid disturbance such as summer rainfall. The results indicate that macrophytes are the key components to enhance bio-diversity include zooplankton, and the inclusion of diverse plant species in wetland construction or restoration schemes will result in ecologically healthy food webs.

BACKGROUND: Eutrophication occurs occasionally in flood control reservoirs around Juam lake in summer and early autumn. Lakeside macrophyte which is one of internal pollutants effects on water quality when it is submerged during water surface is rising after rainy season. METHODS AND RESULTS: To improve water the quality of water from water supply source and to establish the management plan of submerged plants in flood control reservoirs around Juam Lake, the removal and release velocities of nutrients by submerged plants in site 1 and 2 were investigated. Removal or release velocity constant (K) of COD by Carex dimorpholepis Steud in column was 0.07~0.18 $day^{-1}$ at 0~4 days after flooding, -0.23~-0.17 $day^{-1}$ at 5~19 days after flooding and -0.28~0.03 $day^{-1}$ at 20~33 days after flooding. Removal or release velocity constant (K) of T-N by Carex dimorpholepis Steud was 0.02 $day^{-1}$ at 0~4(8) days after flooding, -0.13~-0.10 $day^{-1}$ at 5(9)~33 days after flooding in column. Removal or release velocity constant (K) of T-P by Carex dimorpholepis Steud was 0.05~0.06 $day^{-1}$ at 0~4 days after flooding, -0.14~-0.09 $day^{-1}$ at 5~33 days after flooding. Release velocity constant (K) of nutrients by Miscanthus sacchariflorus Benth was lower than that by Carex dimorpholepis Steud. In site 1, the amount of nutrients release by Carex dimorpholepis Steud was 6,719 kg/month/area for COD, 2,397 kg/month/area for T-N and 466 kg/month/area for T-P. The amounts of nutrients release by Carex dimorpholepis Steud were higher than those by Miscanthus sacchariflorus Benth in both sites. CONCLUSION(s): The results of this study suggest that COD, T-N and T-P in water quality of Juam lake were strongly influenced by submerged plants in flood control reservoirs.
