As the imports of foreign agricultural products are liberalized and the consumption of agricultural products declines, abandoned rice paddy fields continues to rise. However, such abandoned rice paddy fields has not been precisely surveyed yet. In this backdrop, a necessity to develop technology to utilize such abandoned rice paddy fields has emerged. Utilization of abandoned rice paddy fields as wetlands may be a good example. This study aimed to survey the current status and characteristics of wetlands created within abandoned rice paddy fields by selecting abandoned rice paddy fields throughout the nation and conducting field surveys on the sites that had transformed into wetlands. The abandoned rice paddy fields almost transformed into wetland and the types of wetlands transformed from abandoned rice paddy fields were mainly Inland/Moutain/Depression/Abandoned rice paddy fields/Marsh/Phragmites communis community and Inland/Moutain/Depression/Abandoned rice paddy fields/Swamp/Salix koreensis community. Abandoned rice paddy fields that had transformed into wetlands was depending heavily on waterways for water supply than other reservoirs and lakes do. Abandoned rice paddy fields transformed into wetlands was most observed in mountainous area. Abandoned rice paddy fields are because agricultural land is no longer profitable due to international and social changes and is not cultivated as government policy. Wetland period and dimension originated from abandoned rice paddy fields are very various and its surrounding land its mostly forest and the next largest follow roads and rural community. The abandoned rice paddy fields transformed into wetlands is mostly deserted currently. Despite their value as wetlands, no restoration and utilization efforts are made in Korea today. Therefore, it is imperative to conduct a precise current status survey on these areas and introduce management and restoration plans at the government level in the case of important habitats.

Carabid beetle community changes in paddy fields, abandoned paddy fields, and mountains were investigated to understand differences in species diversity and composition of different habitat types in small agricultural landscapes in South Korea. A total of 2,938 individuals from 37 species were identified and classified from the studied habitats. Diversity in the mountains was higher than that in abandoned paddy fields. As the number of years since abandonment increased, the diversity and stability of the carabid beetle community also increased. Abandoned paddy fields in some paddy field areas and adjoining mountainous areas, left with preconditions for management and control, have provided the opportunity to improve the diversity and habitat of small agricultural landscapes. Species composition changed continuously from the paddy fields to the mountains, in accordance with individual species habitat preferences. Abandoned paddy fields in small agricultural landscapes are believed to play an important role as transitional buffer zones between paddy fields and the adjacent mountainous areas.

농촌인구의 감소와 잉여생산작물로 변화된 쌀의 수요에 대비해 최근 20-30년간 휴경논, 즉 묵논이 증가하여 왔으나, 새로운 작물재배지로의 전환 또는 용도지역 변경으로 인한 형질변경이 수반되지 않는 오지의 묵논은 점차 식물생태복원의 주요한 입지로 새롭게 부각되고 있다. 묵논의 입지적, 수리적 여건상 묵밭에 비해 식물의 천이가 활발하고, 습지로서의 기능과 다양한 생물 서식지로서의 기능 등 생태적으로 긍정적인 역할을 담당하게 될 묵논은 연차별로 식물군락의 변화양상이 달라진다. 본 연구에서는 우리나라 전역에 분포하는 묵논을 대상으로 초기, 중기, 후기묵논으로 구분짓고, 각 시기별 식물군락의 변화양상에 대한 식물사회학적 연구가 수행되었다. 강원 경기 5개 권역, 충청남 북 2개 권역, 경상남 북 18개 권역, 전라남 북 10개 권역 등 총 35개 권역을 대상으로 총 203개소의 조사구에서 획득한 식생조사표를 이용하여 군락분류, 군락생태, 군락동태에 대한 비교분석이 이루어졌다. 본 연구를 통해 우리나라 초기, 중기, 후기의 천이단계별 식물군락은 각각 뚝새풀군락, 골풀군락, 버드나무군락으로 특징지어졌으며, 삼림 내 묵논 일부 지역에서 드물게 후기천이 단계에서 오리나무군락이 분포하는 것으로 확인되었다. 이러한 군락의 발달은 대기후적, 지리적 조건과 관계없이 유사한 패턴을 보였다. 묵논식생의 천이단계는 일년생식물기-다년생식물기-관목식물기-교목림기로 발달해가는 천이단계로 구분할 수 있으나 중기묵논에서는 단계별 우점종이 뚜렷이 구분되지 않고 여러 종이 유사한 우점도로 혼생하였다. 군락분류를 통한 우리나라의 연차별 묵논의 식생특성을 분석한 결과, 새로운 생태복원모델로 관심이 높아지는 묵논식생의 변화양상을 파악하였으며, 이러한 결과는 휴경지의 생태복원 및 보전을 위한 기초 자료로써 매우 유효한 정보를 제공하게 될 것으로 기대된다.

The current study analyzed appropriateness of abandoned rice paddy wetlands as habitats for the Amphibia by assessing functions and value of abandoned rice paddy wetlands within land development districts as a habitat for living creatures and researching into the Amphibia living in the subject districts. For this purpose, the study designated abandoned rice paddy wetlands within Hwaseong A District and Pangyo B District under land development as subject lands. Those wetlands went through succession after abandonment of farming. Detailed study results are as follows. From classification of wetland types and an analysis of their characteristics, it was found that herbaceous plants such as smartweed communities, horsetail communities and reed communities, and woody plants such as pussy willow communities appeared in both districts. These abandoned rice paddy wetlands shows typical characteristics of palustrine wetlands. As a result of a vegetation structure research, it was observed that succession has been progressed for at least over 2~3 years. In assessment of wetland functions by item, it was found that they are developing into fine wetlands in terms of functions because they are ranked over Moderate Class except separate distance from streams. Also from a research into animals living in the abandoned rice paddy wetlands, it was found that main inhabitants are Rana nigromaculata,Rana dybowskii, Hyla japonica, Bufo bufo gargarizans, etc. It can be confirmed that the abandoned rice paddy wetlands are providing appropriate conditions as habitats to the Amphibia in a view that those species have life cycles of inhabitation (shores and wetlands) - egg-laying (rice paddy, puddles and swampy places) - hibernation (rice field banks and swampy places). From this point of view, it was found that abandoned rice paddy wetlands that developed because of abandonment of farming can be used as means to improve structure and functions of habitats.

묵논을 생태적으로 활용하기 위한 방법의 일환으로 논의 특성을 고려하여 생활형이 다른 멸종위기식물 9종의 현지외보전 대상지로서의 잠재력을 확인하였다. 한국의 전통적인 논의 구성요소인 둠벙을 조성하기 위해 묵논의 일부를 변형하여 수분 환경을 다르게 하였다. 묵논에 각 식물들의 유성생식체(seed, sapling)와 무성생식체를 이식하여 1년간 생존률과 식물계절학 반응을 관찰하였고 그 후 2년간 모니터링을 실시하였다. 그 결과 묵논에 도입이 가능한 수생식물은 4 분류군 (가시연꽃, 삼백초, 전주물꼬리풀, 조름나물), 지중식물은 1 분류군 (큰바늘꽃), 반지중식물은 1 분류군 (독미나리) 이었다. 도입시 가시연꽃, 전주물꼬리풀, 조름나물은 둠벙에 도입해야하고, 삼백초, 큰바늘꽃, 독미나리는 논습지에 도입해야한다. 또한, 가시연꽃과 순채의 생육은 초본류에 의해 저해되었고 큰바늘꽃의 생식생장은 섭식자에 의해 저해되었다. 따라서 묵논에 도입한 멸종위기식물의 효율적인 정착을 돕기 위해서는 생육을 저해하는 초본류들의 제거와 섭식자의 관리가 필요하고, 논둑에 목본 또는 식생 매트를 형성하는 초본류를 식재하여 둑의 붕괴를 방지할 필요가 있다. 특히 묵논을 생태적으로 활용할 때 생물다양성을 높이기 위해서는 둠벙을 조성하여 수분환경을 다양화시키는 것이 효과적이다.
