The present-day genetic structure of macroalgal species reflects both geographical history and oceanic circulation patterns as well as anthropogenic introduction across native ranges. To precisely understand the genetic diversity and how the factors shape the current population structure of Gloiopeltis furcata sensu lato, we determined the mitochondrial 5' end of cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (COI-5P) sequences for 677 individuals sampled from 67 sites spanning almost the entire distribution range in Korea and Japan. Results from the phylogenetic analysis and haplotype distribution revealed eleven distinct lineages within G. furcata s.l. along the Korea-Japan coastal areas and displayed divergent phylogeographic patterns among lineages. Despite the closely related lineages distributed in same habitats as high rocky intertidal zone, they display different phylogeographic patterns among lineages. The populations from the south of Korea-Japan harbored the highest genetic diversity and unique endemism in comparison with other populations in the distribution range. This could be the evidence of southern refugia for G. furcata s.l. in the Northwest (NW) Pacific and the recent migration from native to introduced region. The reason is that an exceptional distribution pattern was found high genetic diversity in Hakodate of Japan where is the northern location in the NW Pacific. Our results imply the contemporary influence on the distribution due to current circulation pattern and anthropogenic effects. These phylogeographic findings provide the important insight into cryptic species diversity and the detailed distribution pattern of Gloiopeltis in the NW Pacific.

In this study the distribution patterns of the metallic components were analyzed both before and after the Asian Dust (AD) events at 2001 by comparing the chemical composition of metallic components in terms of various statistical methods. According to the AD/NAD concentration ratio of metallic components, the main components of crustal soils were exhibiting the values above 1.0; but opposite results were seen dominantly for hazardous metallic components. Examination of fine-to-coarse (F/C) ratios of metallic components showed higher values for major anthropogenic components including Pb (5.83). Ni (2.61), etc. Comparison of our measurement data with those obtained within and across the Korean peninsula indicated that the metallic distribution patterns of the study area can be distinguished from previous studies. The results of our analysis, when investigated in relation with air mass movement patterns. indicated evidence of the direct influence of AD events and anthropogenic processes.

Various air pollutants were measured at Tokchok Island in the Yellow Sea that is about 50 km distant from Incheon since April 1999. This study was undertaken to help understanding the level of air pollution and its distribution characteristics over the Yellow Sea. The geographical characteristics of the air pollution monitoring station and emission inventories of Tokchok Island are introduced. The mass concentrations and chemical compositions of TSP and P $M_{2.5}$ measured until March 2000 are discussed in this paper. The overall average mass concentrations are about 37.2 $\mu\textrm{g}$/㎥ for TSP and 18.7 $\mu\textrm{g}$/㎥ for P $M_{2.5}$ , respectively, which are similar to or a little lower than the values observed in other background sites at Kangwha and Taean. However, they are much lower than those observed at Qingdao in China. The low mass concentration and major anthropogenic ion concentrations in aerosols collected at Tokchok Island show that local sources are not dominant at Tokchok Island. The estimated average fractions of anthropogenic non-sea-salt sulfate to the total sulfate concentration of TSP and P $M_{2.5}$ are greater than 80% for both sizes. It hence suggests that the sulfate be mainly affected by anthropogenic sources. If we consider the average mass ratio of P $M_{2.5}$ to TSP, the mass fractions of anthropogenic species to P $M_{2.5}$ , and the molar ratio of nss S $O_4$$^{2-}$ to total N $O_{3-}$, it may be possible to infer that a part of anthropogenic species measured at Tokchok Island be transported from China. The characteristics of neutralization of nss S $O_4$$^{2-}$ and the particle size of major ions are also discussed.

The mass fraction of PM10 had a bimodal distribution in the middle of between 2.1 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$, and the average mass fraction of particles less than 2.1~3.1 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ was 54.1% for Pb and 890.8 ng/㎥ for Fe, respectively. For the concentration of PM10 and metallic elements by seasonal variation, PM10 showed bimodal distribution, while metallic elements showed different distributions by their sources. The ratios of fine particles to total mass were 0.45 for PM10, 0.41 for Cr, and 0.20 for Fe, 0.57 for Zn, 0.68 for Cd and 0.63 for Pb, respectively. That facts indicated that PM10, Zn, Cd, Cr and Pb were from anthropogenic sources, and Fe was from natural source. The geometric means and geometric standard deviations by seasonal variations were 3.6 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ , 2.31 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ in winter, 3.0 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ , 2.49 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ in spring, 2.7 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ , 2.03 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ in summer respectively. And, total efficiency of cascade impactor by seasonal variations were 49.6% in winter, 45.9% in spring and 44.5% in summer.

본 연구에서는 두루미류의 서식밀도에 영향을 주는 요인 중 인위적 요인에 의한 영향을 평가하고자 하였다. 대상지역은 강원도 철원군의 민간인통제지역이며 2009년부터 2014년까지 매년 1월의 두루미와 재두루미의 분포를 대상으로 하였다. 인위적 요인인 도로, 거주지 및 군사시설로 부터의 거리에 따른 두루미류의 밀도를 파악하였으며, 비닐하우스의 분포밀도 차이에 따른 두루미류의 서식밀도를 평가하였다. 두루미와 재두루미는 동일지점에서 서식밀도 상관관계가 있었기 때문에 인위적 요인에 대해 유사한 민감성을 보이는 것으로 나타났다. 거주지와 가까운 곳은 두루미와 재두루미 모두 낮은 서식밀도를 보였으며, 2.5km 구간까지 거리가 멀어질수록 밀도가 증가하는 양상을 보였다. 이는 군사시설 및 통행량이 높은 도로와 유사한 양상이었으며, 군사시설로 부터는 약 0.8km까지, 통행량이 높은 도로는 2km 구간까지 요인으로부터 멀어질수록 서식밀도가 증가하였다. 이러한 경향은 인가지역과 군사시설 및 통행량이 높은 도로가 두루미류의 서식밀도에 일정범위까지 악영향을 주는 것을 의미하였다. 통행량이 적은 도로와 인접한 곳은 간헐적 간섭으로 먹이자원이 보전되어 있어 밀도가 높은 것으로 판단되었다. 비닐하우스의 밀도가 낮은 곳에서는 밀도가 증가할수록 두루미류의 서식밀도가 감소하는 경향을 보였는데, 비닐하우스의 밀도가 40개/$km^2$ 미만인 경우에서 나타났다. 하지만 비닐하우스의 밀도가 40개/$km^2$ 이상인 지역에서는 뚜렸한 밀도의 감소가 나타나지 않았다.

본 연구는 우리나라에서 외래종인 왕우렁이의 분포와 확산에 있어 영향을 미친 환경 및 인위적 요소를 분석하기 위해, 국내 왕우렁이 분포지역 및 관련 사회정책적 자료를 수집하여 분석하였다. 조사된 국내 왕우렁이 서식지 중 대부분은 고도 및 경사가 낮고, 농경지 인근에 위치하고 있었다. 이러한 왕우렁이 서식지의 특성은 친환경 농업이라는 인위적 활동에 의한 왕우렁이 확산 및 분포와 관련이 있는 것으로 판단된다. 우리나라에서는 왕우렁이와 관련하여 왕우렁이 농법의 국가적 장려, 왕우렁이 농법에 대한 국가 보조금 폐지, 생물다양성법 제정 등과 같은 정책적 변화와 친환경 농산물을 중시하는 웰빙 열풍 등 다양한 정책적, 사회적 사건이 발생하였다. 본 연구에서 확인한 왕우렁이의 확산 양상은 사회적 요소 중 유기농 농산물의 재배면적과 비율, 내수면 왕우렁이 생산량과 매우 유의한 상관관계를 보여, 왕우렁이 확산에 대한 인간 활동의 영향을 보여주었다. 이미 뉴트리아, 미국선녀벌레 등 많은 외래생물종이 우리나라로 유입되고 있는 가운데, 왕우렁이와 같이 인위적 생물 확산이 반복되지 않도록 충분한 제도적 대책 보완과 함께 외래생물에 대한 범국민적 인식 제고가 필요하다.

The increase of the solar reradiation from urban areas relative to suburban due to urbanization heats up the air temperature in urban areas and this is called the urban heat island (UHI) effect. This UHI effect has a positive relationship with the degree of urbanization. Through the studies on UHI using the satellite imagery, the effect of the surface heat radiation was observed by verifying the relationship between the air temperature and the land cover types (surface materials such as urban, vegetation, etc.). In this study, however, the surface temperature distribution was studied in terms of land use types for Seoul. Using land use types, the surface temperature in urban areas such as residential, industrial, and commercial areas in Yeongdeungpo, highly packed with industrial and residential buildings, was maximum $6^{\circ}C$ higher than in the bare ground, which indicated that the surface temperature reflected the pattern of the human-consumed energy on the areas and showed that one of the important causes influencing the air temperature except the surface heat reradiation by the sun is the anthropogenic heat. Also, the effect due to the restoration of the Chunggae stream on UHI was investigated. The average surface temperature for the Chunggae stream was reduced about $0.4^{\circ}C$ after restoration. Considering that each satellite image pixel includes mixture of several materials such as concrete and asphalt, the average surface temperature might be much lower locally reducing UHI near the stream.

인공위성영상은 적외선 채널을 이용하여 지표에서 복사되는 열을 감지할 수 있기 때문에 이를 이용하여 도심지역의 지표온도와 열섬현상과의 관계를 밝히기 위한 많은 노력이 있어왔다. 그러나 사면향과 경사와 같은 지형인자와 지표온도와의 관계성에 관한 연구는 그동안 다소 미흡하였다. 이에 본 연구에서는 사면향과 경사와 같은 지형인자의 변화에 따라 지표온도가 어떻게 변화하는지를 Landsat 7 ETM+을 사용하여 연구하였으며 지표에서 발생하는 인본열을 감지할 수 있는 가능성을 평가하였다. 지표의 사면향은 지표온도분포에 중요한 인자로 영향을 주지 않지만, 사면의 기울기는 태양의 고저에 의해 많은 영향을 받는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 위성영상은 지표면과 이루는 각으로 인해 영상에 정확한 지표온도를 기록할 수 없지만, 사면의 기울기 보정을 통해 보정한 결과 평균 지표온도분포 분석에서는 큰 영향을 미치지 않는 것으로 확인 되었다. 또한 위성영상을 통해 지표발산 인본열 추출의 가능성을 확인하였다.

BACKGROUND: Although antibiotics have contributed to treatment of bacterial infection, the antibiotic abuse can lead to antibiotic resistant bacteria. Impact of human activities on distribution of antibiotic resistance has been intensively issued and occurrence of antibiotic resistant bacteria in contaminated environments would not be a surprise. Nonetheless, anthropogenic contamination with the dissemination of antibiotic resistance along uncontaminated environments has been less considered. The aim of this study is to investigate antibiotic resistant bacteria across Ulleungdo, known as antibiotic resistance free and anthropogenic pollution free environment in Rep. of Korea. METHODS AND RESULTS: Antibiotic resistant bacteria in coastal seawater of Ulleungdo were investigated in July 2021. Antibiotic susceptibility test using the disk diffusion method was applied with six drugs according to the Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI) guideline. Total 43 bacterial isolates were tested and 20 isolates among of them showed multidrug resistance. Particularly, the number and ratio of resistant bacteria were relatively high in a densely populated area of Ulleungdo. The bacterial communities were investigated using 16S rRNA gene metabarcoding approach in the coastal seawater and soils of Ulleungdo. In the bacterial communities, Firmicutes were selectively distributed only in seawater, suggesting the possibility of anthropogenic contamination in coastal seawater of Ulleungdo. CONCLUSION(S): We found antibiotic resistant bacteria in a populated area of Ulleungdo. The occurrence of antibiotic resistant bacteria in Ulleungdo seems to result from the recent anthropogenic impact. Consistent monitoring of antibiotic resistant bacteria in the uncontaminated environment needs to considered for future risk assessment of antibiotics.
