This study was conducted to investigate the influence of eco-friendly restoration in forested bog on the structure of benthic macroinvertebrate community. The benthic macroinvertebrates collected from the surveyed sites were composed of 1,071 individuals, 60 species, 40 families, 13 orders, 6 classes and 5 phyla. At the control and Site 3(small dam), the number of species and individuals were larger than that of other sites, and EPT group ratio was same as well. Considered by index, the dominance index (DI) was found the highest at the biotope area. The diversity index (H') and richness index (RI) were the highest at the control and Site 3. In addition, the ecological score of benthic macroinvertebrate (ESB) showed the highest at site 3, while the lowest at biotope area. The stability and recovery of benthic macrointebrates showed different according to restoration types at forested bog. After restoration project, the benthic macroinvertebrates were observed to get recovery at Site 3, and to have the highest communities stability at control and Site 3. At biotope areas (Site 4, Site 5 and Site 6) communities stability were the lowest, but showed different community stability values according to the presence of water. It is confirmed that the eco-friendly restoration projects indeed provided the better environment for the inhabitation of benthic macroinvertebrate community. The change of community index depending on the restoration projects suggests that the eco-friendly restoration can provide a more suitable environment for benthic macroinvertebrate ecosystem that prefers the stream environment.

The distribution of benthic macroinvertebrates of Shinbulsan wetland was investigated. This study was focused on the degree of recovery of habitat by comparing the community structure of benthic macro invertebrates of zone D to that of zone A, intact habitat. The zone D was destructed due to the construction of a golf club and the survey was performed in zone A and zone D of Shinbulsan wetland. The seasonal survey was performed in April, July and September from 2006 to 2007. From the sampling, 2 phyla, 3 classes, 9 orders, 31 families, 69 species and 1155 individuals of benthic macroinvertebrates were collected. From zone A, 2 phyla, 3 classes, 9 orders, 23 families, 54 species and 678 individuals were identified. From zone D, 2 phyla, 3 classes, 9 orders, 23 families, 43 species and 477 individuals were identified. Species diversity and species richness were higher in zone A than in zone D. The recovery of zone D was inefficient as humidity of soil was not enough to live macroinvertebrates. Also, an endangered species of macroinvertebrates, Nannophya pygmaea was found during this investigation.

It is essential that continual assessments of the impact of mine-derived water as a long-lasting burden on freshwater environments. Abundance-based evaluations of benthic macroinvertebrates have been conducted to evaluate anthropogenic disturbances and devise policies to reduce their impact. In this study, the status of a stream habitat was evaluated based on the body length and biomass weight of benthic macroinvertebrates of the family Baetidae. Following the renewal of the mining water treatment plant, the abundance of Baetidae assemblages recovered to a level comparable to that of a reference site. However, relatively low values were found for both body length and biomass weight in Baetidae species inhabiting the reddened streambed area, suggesting that the habitat has not yet been completely recovered despite the recovery of the abundance of the Baetidae assemblages. Therefore, continuous investigation and evaluation of this disturbed stream are necessary until their growth conditions of the habitat have functionally recovered.

본 연구에서는 어류가두리양식장 시설의 재배치 이후 기존 양식장 아래 퇴적물의 회복상태를 규명하고자 하였으며, 이를 위하여 양식장 아래 퇴적물과 저서다모류 군집 조사를 수행하였다. 양식장 철거 이전인 2017년 10월에 사전 조사를 수행하였으며, 양식장 철거 이후인 2017년 11월부터 2018년 10월까지는 매달, 이후 2020년 10월까지는 2 ~ 3달 간격으로 조사하였다. 조사 정점은 철거된 양식장 위치에 3개 정점(Farm1 ~ 3)과 양식시설물이 없는 주변 해역에 3개의 대조 정점(Con1 ~ 3)으로 선정하였다. 사전 조사에서 기존 양식장의 총유기탄소(평균 22.67 mg·g^-1 dry weight)는 대조 정점(평균 13.68 mg·g^-1 dry weight)보다 높았으나, 양식장 철거 이후 점차 감소하여 약 1년 이후에는 통계적으로 유의한 차이를 보이지 않았다(p<0.05). 저서다모류 군집은 여름철 기존 정점에서 무생물 군집이 출현하였으며, 무생물 시기 이후 오염지시종인 Capitella capitata 단일종이 극우점하는 낮은 다양도의 군집으로 천이하였다. 다음해 여름철 무생물 시기 이전까지 종다양도가 증가하고 오염지시종의 비율이 감소하여 저서다모류 군집이 회복되는 경향을 나타내었으며, 이러한 변화는 매년 반복되었다. 연구 지역은 양식장 아래의 지형학적인 특성으로 인하여 매년 무생물 군집이 출현하고 있으나, 조사가 진행될수록 무생물 발생 기간은 짧아지고, 군집이 회복되는 과정은 빠르게 진행되었다. 어류 양식장의 이전 후 기존 양식장 정점의 퇴적물은 생물학적인 회복이 여전히 진행 중이며, 추가적인 모니터링을 통해 회복의 경향을 연구할 필요가 있다.

In August 2002, a heavy rainfall (445 mm in total for 5 consecutive days) resulted in a catastrophic flood, and it completely washed away the benthic fauna from the mainstream channel of the Gapyeong stream, a typical mid-sized stream in the central Korean peninsula. This study was to investigate the recovery patterns of aquatic insect communities that were damaged by the flood. Aquatic insects were sampled quantitatively using a Surber sampler ($50{\times}50$ cm, 1 riffle and 1 pool/run habitats per site) from three sites (4th-6th order) of the Gapyeong stream prior to 2000 and seasonally after the flood event from 2003 to 2006. Before the flood in the reference year (2000), a total of 77 species of aquatic insects were collected, whereas after the flood 47 species (2003), 51 species (2004), 64 species (2005) and 55 species (2006) were collected from the whole sampling sites. The aquatic insect density decreased to 26.85% (2003), 90.25% (2004), 52.53% (2005) and 54.95% (2006) of that recorded in the reference year. Although approximately 70% of the aquatic insect fauna has recovered since the flood event, the species composition in the most recent year differed substantially (similarity ca. 50%). On the other hand, the compositions of functional groups have not significantly changed. Aquatic insect communities at the riffle sites were affected more profoundly than those at the pool/run sites. The aquatic insect communities at the upstream site recovered more rapidly than those at the downstream sites.

The Shinbulsan wetland, located in Yangsan-si, Gyeongsangnam-do, South Korea, was designated as a conservation area in 2004. The area was monitored from 2015 to 2019 to investigate the community characteristics and changes of benthic macroinvertebrates. Between 2015 and 2016, several insects of the orders Ephemeroptera, Odonata, and Hemiptera were identified, but their numbers decreased significantly in 2017 and 2018 following the loss and recovery of the moor owing to drought. During this period, there were relatively more insects of the order Diptera. Within this order, three functional feeding groups, gathering-collectors, plant-piercers, and predators were investigated. Predator species were the most abundant (83.3%), whereas gathering-collectors accounted for the largest proportion of individual insects (50.5%). Between 2015 and 2016, when the moors were stable, groups I and III had the highest community stability. After 2017, when the moors had dried up, group III effectively disappeared because of its lower relative resistance and resilience, and only taxa belonging to group I remained. The results of this study indicate that benthic macroinvertebrates that adapt early during moor formation inhabit the Shinbulsan wetland.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the ecological impact of wetlands by changing the species diversity of benthic macroinvertebrates and birds following the creation of an artificial wetland with a size of 30 m*30 m on bare land in reclaimed land in Haenam-gun, Korea. We investigated monthly fauna of benthic macroinvertebrates and birds in and outside wetlands and physicochemical indicators for 7 months from March to September 2014. During the study period, the water temperature and dissolved oxygen levels were consistently higher in wetlands than lakes. Many species of benthic macroinvertebrates were observed in summer (16 species in July) due to seasonal effects, and the species diversity index was highest in July and then gradually decreased. Thirteen species of birds were observed in March, 6 species in April, 5 species in July, and 1 species in June, where most winter birds and migratory birds were observed around wetlands in spring. The species diversity index also decreased after being high in July except for spring. This suggests that the abiotic environment in the wetland can be improved by creating an artificial wetland in the reclaimed land, and the increase in benthic macroinvertebrates can ultimately be a basic direction to restore the wetland ecosystem in the reclaimed land.

서해병 폐기물 배출해역 오염심화구역의 퇴적물 정화·복원을 위해 2013, 2014, 2016, 2017년에 준설토를 피복하였다. 피복 효과 평가를 위해 배출해역 내 피복구역(5개 정점)과 자연회복구역(2개 정점)을 설정하고 2014년부터 2020년까지 연 1회 구역별 표층 퇴적물을 채취하여 퇴적물 물리·화학적 특성 및 저서동물상을 분석하였다. 퇴적물 평균 입도(Mz)는 자연회복구역에서 5.91~7.64 Φ로 세립질이었고 피복구역에서는 준설토의 영향으로 1.47~3.01 Φ의 조립질 퇴적물로 구성되어 있었다. 유기물 및 중금속 함량은 피복구역에서 자연회복구역 대비 약 50 % 낮아(p<0.05) 준설토 피복 효과가 있는 것으로 판단되었다. 대형저서동물 분석 결과에서는 피복구역의 출현종수, 생태지수가 자연회복구역보다 낮게 나타났다(p<0.05). 피복구역의 출현종수 및 생태지수의 시계열 분석 결과에서는 2013, 2014년 피복 이후 초기 4년간 증가하다가 이후 감소하는 경향을 보였다. 이는 피복으로 인해 빠른 성장과 짧은 수명의 특징을 보이는 기회종 생물들이 피복 초기에 우세하다가 2016, 2017년에 추가로 피복이 진행됨에 따라 서식환경이 다시 교란되어 나타난 현상으로 추정된다. AMBI는 자연회복구역 및 피복구역에서 모두 2등급(Good), BPI는 1~2등급 수준을 유지하고 있어 건강한 저서상태로 평가되었다. 따라서 폐기물 배출해역의 오염퇴적물 정화 및 저서생태계 복원을 위한 준설토 피복은 오염도 저감효과는 나타나지만 저서생태계의 측면에서는 장기적인 모니터링을 통해 회복추이를 관찰해야 할 것으로 판단된다. 또한 향후 배출해역의 오염심화구역 정화 복원 사업 확대 시 적응적 관리가 필요할 것으로 판단된다.

This study was conducted to investigate the impact of sand addition to an intertidal for the development of the Manila clam habitat on benthic community structure. For this, we focused on the spatio-temporal changes in the surface sediment condition and benthic community structure including Manila clam before and after the event. Study site was the lower part of Ojjeom tidal flat in Gonam-myeon, Taean-gun where sand added to on July 2010. We set three stations at each of sand adding area (experimental plot) and non sand-adding area (control plot) and did sampling works ten times from June 2010 to October 2011. Directly after the event, surface sediments changed to very coarse sand, but the state was not maintained over two months because of seasonal sedimentation and finally got back to the original grain sizes in eight months. The number of species and density were temporarily reduced right after the event and polychaetes such as Sternaspis scutata, Ampharete arctica were most negatively affected by the event. However, the number of species and density quickly recovered from the reduction in four to six weeks owing to the recolonization by the existing species and species in the vicinity of the plot. However, despite the recovery of ecological indies, species composition was continuously changed from one to another, thereby community structure stayed unstable condition, especially in some stations with finer sediment in their original condition. After sand addition, density of Manila clam was prominently increased at only one station with coarser sediment in its original condition.

본 논문은 최근 몇 년 동안 어류폐사가 발생했던 하천인 월운천, 서천, 장남천 그리고 안양천을 대상으로 어종의 변동을 조사하였다. 어류폐사의 영향을 받은 지역에서 종수의 회복률은 22~86%까지 이르렀는데, 인공구조물과 수질에 의한 영향을 받았다. 장남천에서는 알칼리성 pH로 인해 어류폐사가 발생하였으나 다른 두 하천(월운천, 서천)에 비해 수질의 회복 이후 빠른 종수의 회복을 보였다. 또한, 안양천에서의 낮은 종수는 간헐적으로 발생하는 용존산소고갈로 인한 수질악화의 영향이 크다. 이와 더불어 하천에 설치되어 있는 인공구조물은 특히 저서성 어종의 회복에 부정적인 영향을 주는 것으로 나타났다. 수질 또는 어류개체군의 이동이 회복될 때 어종의 빠른 회복이 예상되지만, 여전히 많은 하천에서 수질의 악화현상과 일부 노후화한 인공구조물의 존재는 어류의 서식환경을 악화시킬 수 있고 어류폐사 이후 하천에서 어종의 회복을 지연시키는 원인이 될 수 있다. 하천에서 어류군집의 보존을 위해서는 어류의 이동을 위한 통로와 유역으로부터의 오염원의 유입을 관리하여야 한다.
