The bacterial number, extracellular enzyme activities and structure of bacterial community which are major constituent of aquatic ecosystem within the artificial vegetation island (AVI) were compared to those of the nearby pelagic lake waters in order to evaluate the possibility of the AVI as a eco-technological measure for water quality improvement and restoration of littoral zone in man-made reservoirs. There was not a significant difference in the total number of bacteria, but the number of active (viable) bacteria within the AVI was about 0.7 to 4.1 times higher than nearby pelagic lake water. The ratio of the number of active bacteria versus the total number of bacteria was also higher in the AVI than nearby pelagic lake water. The activities of ${\beta}$-glucosidase and phosphatase were 1.0 to 13.1 and 0.8 to 7.3 times higher respectively in the AVI than nearby pelagic lake water, showing that microorganisms were more active within the AVI. The bacterial communities of the two waters, examined by FISH method, did not indicate a clear difference in the springtime when the growth of macrophytes was immature, but during summer and fall it showed a clear difference indicating the formation of distinct bacterial community within the AVI compared to nearby lake water. From the results of this study, we conclude that AVI can contribute to make up the littoral ecosystem which show rapid cycling of matters through active detritus food chain in the dam reservoirs which have unstable aquatic ecosystem due to short hydraulic residence time and to strengthen the self-purification capacity of the lake.

2005년 6월부터 11월까지 팔당호의 경안천 수역에 설치한 인공수초섬을 대상으로 인공수초섬(AVI)영향권역과 자연수초군락지 (NVA) 그리고 비수초대 (VFA)에서 어류의 분포를 조사하여 인공수초섬이 어류 분포에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. 조사기간 중 인공수초섬 영향권에서는 11과 23속 24종의 어류가 채집되었고 자연수초군락지에서도 같은 수준인 24종의 어류가 채집되었으나 비수초대에서는 6과 11속 12종의 어류만이 채집되었다. 세조사지점 모두 잉어과 어종이 절대 우점하였으며 인공수초섬 영향권역과 자연수초군락지에서는 소형 어종인 S. japonicus coreanus가 극우점하는 현상을 보였다. 반면 비수초대에서는 중대형 회유성 어종인 H. labeo와 E. erythropterus가 개체수를 기준으로 할 때 58%를 차지하고 있었으며 소형어종은 전혀 채집되지 않았다. 우점도지수는 인공수초섬 영향권역과 자연수초대에서 높게 나타났으며 다양도지수와 균등도는 비수초대에서 높게 나타났고 종풍부도는 인공수초섬 영향권역에서 높게 나타났다. 한국고유종으로는 A. gracilis, S. variegatus wakiyae, S. japonicus coreanus 및 O. interrupta 등이 채집되었으며 외래어종은 C. cuvieri를 포함하여 생태계교란외래생물종으로 지정된 L. macrochirus와 M. salmoides등이 출현하였다. 본 조사의 결과 인공수초섬이 자연수초군락지와 비슷한 수준으로 어류 산란처 및 서식처로써 역할을 할 수 있음을 확인하였다.

We investigated temporal changes of composition, habitat area, growth rate and elements content of hydrophytes at the artificial vegetation island (AVI) in Kyungan Stream within Lake Paldang. We also assessed nutrient removal rate through cutting off the emergent part of hydrophytes. The kinds of hydrophytes have increased from four species (P. australis, P. japonica, T. angustifolia and the Z. latifolia) at initial stage of installation to more than 29 species for 6-year operation. P. japonica was most dominant species at the AVI in 2006. The habitat area of have increased about 2.5 times compared to the initial planting area, occupying 63% of AVI's vegetation area. The incoming species of S. fluviatilis and B. frondosa have adapted successively and expanded habitat area in the AVI. The relative growth rate of P. japonica and P. australis was highest in spring sprouting period. Their hights and weights have increased until summer, by the time they were cutting off the emergent part. They started regrowth immediately after cutting and continued to grow until September and withered away in November. The carbon contents of P. japonica and P. australis have increased during growth phase, on the contrary, the nitrogen and phosphorus contents have decreased. By cutting off and removing the emergent part (leaves and branches) of hydrophytes twice from AVI, $17.6gN/m^2/y$ of nitrogen and $1.3gP/m^2/y$ of phosphorus was removed from AVI in 2006.

Zooplankton community dynamics were studied after establishment of an artificial vegetation island (AVI) in Lake Paldang, from April 2005 to November 2006. There were distinct seasonal and inter-annual changes of total zooplankton abundance at the survey site. Total zooplankton abundance rapidly increased in spring and fall, while it remained low throughout winter. During summer, the dynamics of zooplankton community seemed to be largely affected by hydrological parameters such as, precipitation and inflow. Total zooplankton abundance and biomass below AVI was much higher than that of pelagic zone (L1) in Lake Paldang. Copepoda and cladocera represented the main bulk of the zooplankton community from summer to fall at the both sites. Copepods were more dominant at AVI area, while cladocera were more dominant at pelagic zone (L1). Water quality, prey and habitat condition, species competition between zooplankton seemed to play important roles in dominance of the copepoda and cladocera in zooplankton community at AVI area. Our results conclude that artificial vegetation island provide the stable habitat and besides phytoplankton, diverse food to zooplankton, and consequently influence the diversity and richness of zooplankton community.

팔당호에 설치된 인공식물섬에서 미생물의 역할을 알아보기 위하여 동물플랑크톤 군집 크기, 총세균수, 활성세균수, ${\beta}$-glucosidase와 phosphatase의 체외효소활성도를 2001년 11월 3일부터 2002년 4월까지 격주로 인공식물섬이 설치된 지역과 바깥지역을 대상으로 조사 분석하였다 인공식물섬 아래에서는 일반적으로 측정하는 환경요인들은 대조구보다 수질이 나쁜 것으로 나타났다. 그러나, 동물 플랑크톤의 수는 대조구보다 굉균 25배, 활성세균의 수는 평균 3-8배, 그리고 체외효소활성도는 훨씬 높은 값을 보였다. 이러한 결과는 인공식물섬에서는 동물플랑크톤-식물플랑크톤-수초-세균의 밀접한 관계가 존재하고, 이 관계에 의하여 동물플랑크톤과 세균의 호흡, 분해작용으로 유기물이 제거되는 것으로 판단되었다.

We investigated temporal changes of growth of hydrophytes, aquatic biota and absorption of nutrient depending on planting mat type (synthetic fiber, coconut fiber) of artificial vegetation island (AVI) through pilot test using AVI miniatures in Kyungan Stream area of Lake Paldang. There were not significant differences of the water quality parameters (DO, pH, conductivity, turbidity, temperature), phytoplankton and zooplankton abundance among AVI miniatures and control station. The benthic macroinvertebrates showed most individual numbers in the miniature which was made by synthetic fiber and planted with Phragmites australis. The average and maximum height of hydrophytes in AVI miniatures was similar except one miniature where Phragmites australis was planted in synthetic fiber mat and grew more slowly. The adsorbed amount of nutrients and microbes in coconut fiber mat were larger than those in synthetic fiber mat regardless of trophic state of installed waterbody. The continuous increase of adsorbed amount of nutrients and microbes of coconut fiber mat for 8 months in an oligotrophic lake indicates that coconut fiber mat is suitable for the planting mat of AVI in an oligotrophic lake where nutrients are limited for growth of hydrophytes.
