The barren ground is an abnormal phenomenon of coastal ecosystem in which seaweeds, are destroyed and mostly replaced by the coralline algae containing the calcium carbonate components. To restore the seaweed forest, We have exerted an effort in the local areas, Samchuck, Korea, where barren phenomena are profound. Two methods of seaweed forest construction developed in the present study are underwater longline and seed transplantation for the brown seaweed Costaria costata, a fast growing edible seaweed. The sizes of C. costata attached on the underwater longline were $96.7{\pm}2.2mm$ of blade length and $83.6{\pm}7.7g$ of blade weight in April. Thereafter the sizes declined from May. Similar pattern was obtained from in the transplantation method with maxima of $90.4{\pm}15.8mm$ and $70.1{\pm}31.7g$ for blade length and weight, respectively in April. It appeared totality maturation from two methods in May. This maturation time is the same like that of wild C. costata.

Barren ground is an abnormal phenomenon in coastal ecosystems where seaweeds are destroyed and largely replaced by coralline algae containing calcium carbonate components. To restore the seaweed forest, we attempted reconstruction in an area of Samcheok, Korea, where barrenness is extensive. We developed two methods of seaforest construction underwater longline and seed transplantation for the brown seaweed Laminaria japonica, a fast-growing edible seaweed. The blade length of L. japonica attached to an underwater long line was $93.9{\pm}38.2cm$ and blade weight $7.6{\pm}2.1g$ in February 2004. Seaweed size declined after August 2004. A Similar pattern was observed using the transplantation method with maxima of $179.3{\pm}40.3cm\;and\;14.9{\pm}3.2g$ for blade length and weight, respectively in July 2004. The transplanted seaweeds matured in October as did a wild population. These results indicate that transplanted seaweed acclimate to new environments.

Marine macroalgal community structures and characteristics of ocean environmental factors were examined seasonally at four sites in Jeju Island, Korea, from March to November 2012. A total of 71 macroalgal species were identified, including 9 green, 7 brown, and 55 red algae. Peyssonnelia capensis occurred at all study sites and in all seasons. The average annual biomass of seaweed was 991.84 g wet $wt/m^2$, with seasonal variations from 543.80 g in autumn to 1,284.17 $g/m^2$ in summer. A green alga, Codium coactum, was the dominant species, occupying 21.31% (211.39 $g/m^2$) of the total algal biomass in Jeju Island. Subdominant species were Ecklonia cava and Lithophyllum okamurae, comprising 20.85% (206.75 $g/m^2$) and 19.64% (194.75 $g/m^2$), respectively, of the total algal biomass in Jeju Island. The vertical distribution of subtidal seaweeds was represented by L. okamurae at 5 m depth, C. coactum at 10 m depth, E. cava at 5-10 m depth and P. capensis at the 20 m depth level. In the present study, crustose coralline algae, which predominated on barren ground, were subdominant species at all study sites. Community indices varied between 0.51-0.63 for dominance index (DI), 5.53-8.14 for richness index (R), 0.51-0.63 for evenness index (J'), and 2.04-2.32 for diversity index (H'). On the basis of seaweed biomass and community indices, Sinchang was the best preserved coastal area, showing maximal values in biomass, and evenness- and diversity-indices, and minimal value in the dominance index, representing stable environmental conditions. In contrast, the Onpyung and Topyeong sites, located near tourist venues such as Udo and Seogwipo were relatively poor habitats based on community indices and biomass. The present results could imply that climate changes alter seaweed community structure, and long-term monitoring of the study sites is required.

이 연구는 제주연안 해역에서 갯녹음의 확산동향과 기후변화로 인한 동계 수온변화(수온상승)가 갯녹음 확산에 미치는 영향을 알아보고 갯녹음 원인생물인 무절석회조류의 번식과 생장을 파악하기 위해 연구되었다. 제주연안의 갯녹음 발생면적은 1998년에는 2,931ha였으나, 2003년에는 4,541ha로 증가하였다. 발생해역도 1998년은 제주도 남부해역에서 주로 발생했으나, 2003년에는 조천읍, 구좌읍을 제외한 제주도 전역으로 확산되었다. 1992년부터 2004년까지 관측된 2월 평균수온은 갯녹음 해역 $15.1^{\circ}C$, 해중림 해역 $13.9^{\circ}C$로 갯녹음 해역이 $1.2^{\circ}C$가 높게 나타나 두 해역 간 뚜렷한 차이를 보였으나, 8월 수온은 두 해역 간 차이가 없었다. 수온의 장기변동(37년)에서도 갯녹음 해역이 평균 $15.3^{\circ}C$인데 비하여 해중림 해역은 평균 $14.1^{\circ}C$로 갯녹음 해역이 해중림 해역보다 $1.2^{\circ}C$가 높게 나타났다. 연간 수온 증가 값은 갯녹음 해역이 매년 $0.038^{\circ}C$씩 증가하고 있는 반면, 해중림 해역은 $0.024^{\circ}C$씩 증가하여 장기 수온변동은 갯녹음 해역이 해중림 해역보다 높았다. 이와 같이 기후변화로 인한 지속적인 동계 수온상승은 제주도 갯녹음을 확대시키고 있음을 시사하고 있다.
