마산만의 수질변화와 chlorophyll-$a$의 관계를 밝히고자 이 해역을 대표할 수 있는 4개 정점에서 2010년 2월부터 2010년 11월까지 강우와 기온을 포함한 기후학적 요인, 물리 화학적 요인, 그리고 chlorophyll-$a$의 변화를 집중 조사하였다. 그 결과, 수온, 염분, SS, 규산염은 정점별 차이를 보이지 않았으며, COD 및 DIN은 마산만 내만으로 갈수록 증가하였다. 시계열적으로는 여름철 집중 강우 시 마산만 지류 하천 및 낙동강을 통해 담수가 유입되면서 염분의 급강하 및 SS량과 COD의 증가가 나타났다. 영양염류 중 DIN은 여름철 집중강우 시 일시적으로 증가하는 양상을 제외하고는 낮은 농도를 보였고 DIP와 규산염 또한 DIN과 유사한 양상을 보였다. 마산만에서 식물플랑크톤 성장에 영향을 주는 영양염류는 봄철 중반까지 규소와 인이 성장제한인자로 작용하고, 늦봄부터 가을까지는 질소원이 주 성장제한요인으로 작용할 것으로 판단된다. 다중회귀분석을 실시한 결과, 늦겨울부터 봄철까지 chlorophyll-$a$ 농도는 수온, 염분, COD, DIP의 변화에 의해 영향을 받고 있었다. 여름철에는 봄철과 달리, 염분 및 COD, 강수량이 영향을 주고 있어, 여름철 집중강우에 따른 영향인자들에 의해 chlorophyll-$a$가 빠르게 변화됨을 알 수 있었다. 따라서 마산만 해역의 chlorophyll-$a$의 변화는 영양염류와 같은 화학적 인자의 영향과 함께, 수온 및 강수와 같은 물리적 인자에 의해 크게 영향을 받고 있다.

This study was carried out to examine the changes of chlorophyll a and b contents by the extraction temperatures and the number of soaking using five kinds of Korean green teas(3 kinds of green tea and 2 kinds of tea bag) which were obtained from a local market in Daegu city, Korea. The chlorophylls were extracted with 80% acetone, and determined by a visible spectrophotometer. The concentration of chlorophyll in Sulrok(tea bag) were the highest among all kinds of teas when they were extracted at 60, and decreased with the number of soaking increased. On the other hand, the chlorophyll content of green teas was the highest at 80, and decreased with the increase of the number of soaking as the tea bag did. It was found that the Korean tea bag contained more chlorophyll than green teas did, and green teas contained significantly more chlorophyll b than chlorophyll a.

여러 지역의 호소환경에서 picoplankton이 중요한 일차 생산자로 보고되고 있는데 대청호에서 이를 조사하기 위하여 1998년 9월부터 1999년 9월까지 식물플랑크톤 크기에 따른 엽록소 농도의 계절적 변화를 조사하였다. $200\;{\mu}m$이하의 식물플랑크톤은 대전취수탑에서 $0.7{\sim}36.9\;{\mu}g/l$, 만입부에서 $0.5{\sim}23.5\;{\mu}g/l$회남대교에서 $1.9{\sim}20.1\;{\mu}g/l$ 대청댐에서 $0.5{\sim}17.4\;{\mu}g/l$이었는데, 조사지점 4곳에서 모두 9월에 최대치를 나타내었으며 그 이후는 서서히 감소되어 $4{\sim}6$월에 최소값을 보이는 경향을 나타내었다. 계절에 따른 엽록소 농도의 크기별 조성비율을 보면, 연중 microplankton과 nanoplankton 조성비율은 큰 변이를 보였는데, 회남 대교를 제외한 조사지역 3곳에서 $6{\sim}10$월에는 microplankton의 비율이 높았으나 3월에는 조성비율이 매우 낮은 경향을 보였다. 그러나 조사지역 4곳 모두에서 picoplankton은 연중 $2.0{\sim}24.3%$로 거의 일정하였다.

The Southern Ocean (SO) plays a primary role in global climate by storing and transporting anthropogenic carbon dioxide through the meridional overturning circulation and the biological pumping process. In this study, we aim to investigate interannual variability of summer chlorophyll concentration in the SO and its relation with the El $Ni{\tilde{n}}o$ Southern Oscillation (ENSO), using satellite ocean color data covering 16 years from 1997 to 2012. During El $Ni{\tilde{n}}o$ periods, chlorophyll concentration tends to increase in the subtropics (north of the subantarctic front). This chlorophyll increase is likely linked to El $Ni{\tilde{n}}o$-induced surface cooling that increases nutrient supply through enhanced vertical mixing in the subtropics. On the other hand, the subpolar gyres show localized chlorophyll changes in response to the ENSO. The localized response seems to be primarily attributed to changes in sea-ice concentrations. Our findings suggest that ENSO contributes interannual variability of chlorophyll in the SO through different mechanisms depending on regions.

KDICical substances from Artemisia scoparia were analyzed by gas chromatography. Seven phenolic compounds and thirty nine terpenoids were identified. Most abundant within each group were cinnamic acid and camphor, respectively. The KDICicals were prepared as aqueous extracts and then used for germination, growth, and chlorophyll content tests. The extracts were inhibitory to germination and seedling growth of the receptor lants. This inhibitory effect was dependent on concentration. When the effect of the aqueous extract on chlorophyll content was assayed, both chlorophylls a and b were shown to be reduced. The reduction in seedling elongation and growth in dry weight paralleled the reduction in chlorophyll concentration. These KDICical substances, including phenolic compounds and terpenoids, from Artemisia scoparia were responsible for the growth inhibition of the selected species.

We have performed to analyze the trophic state resulting of Lake Yongdam as a result of water quality and nutrient concentration. Lake Yongdam is artifitial multi-purpose Dam resulting from the floods of 2001. The water quality of Lake Yongdam may affect the status of the Geum river basin including the Daecheong reservoir. It is necessary to understand the trophic state to assess water quality until stability after flooding. Water quality was surveyed using depth and hydraulic condition analysis. Further density flow was estimated for stratification and trophic state of Lake Yongdam by chlorophyll ${\alpha}$ concentration (2001~2004). And Environmental factors on chlorophyll ${\alpha}$ concentration were analyzed statistically. Trophic state was evaluated as the oligotrophic state at the main stream of the reservoir and eutrophic state at the upper stream in 2001, but evaluated as eutrophic state in 2002 and 2003 by TSI of Aizaki. From the results of multiple regression analysis using stepwise method, chlorophyll ${\alpha}$ concentration was shown to be very significant when nutrient concentration is high upon initial filling of the Dam. Chlorophyll ${\alpha}$ concentration varied according to sample site, season and year. Concentration were high in the upper stream of Lake Yongdam 4, algae bloom in these watershed were affected by location and high nutrient levels in the summer season which have in turn increased phytoplankton bloom into the reservoir.

Total primary production resulting from the photosynthetic process can be defined as the amount of organic matter produced in a given period of time. It is proportional to the chlorophyll-a (chl-a) values in the surface layer of the ocean. The MODIS board on Aqua satellite measures visible and infrared radiation in 36 wavebands, providing simultaneous images of chl-a concentration and sea surface temperature (SST) in the upper layer of the sea. The seasonal distribution of chl-a concentration during one year from April 2005 to March 2006 was examined. Light has a role of starting the seasonal cycle. The Kuroshio Current in this area induces many oceanographical features affecting to the change of seasonal control. The chl-a concentration is also seasonal, which is low in summer and high in winter. In summer, the meandering of Kuroshio Current induces strong eddies and increases the chl-a concentration. In autumn, the delayed small autumn bloom occurred until last December due to the Kuroshio Current. When the Kuroshio axis moves far from the coast, the coastal water dominates and increases the concentration even in the winter. The spring bloom starts early at the beginning of March and decreases during the spring.

The spatio-temporal distribution of four coexisting acartiid species in two subgenera Acartiura (Acartia hongi and A. omorii) and Odontacartia (A. erythraea and A. pacifica) was examined at seven stations in the southwestern waters of Korea, between January to December 1998. A. hongi occurred dominantly in the northern regions from winter to spring while A. omorii predominated in the southern regions in spring and early summer when the more saline (> 33.0 psu) and high chlorophyll-$\alpha$ concentration water mass appeared. With the increase of temperature (> $20^{\circ}C$), however, both species disappeared and then replaced with A. erythraea and A. pacifica. A. erythraea (rare species), appeared in the middle regions where the high chlorophyll-$\alpha$ concentration ($3{\mu}g\; I^{-1}$) in the summer, while A. pacifica was abundant in all regions through summer and fall. It is suggested that the seasonal succession of the genus Acartia was subgenus-specifically affected by environmental factors such as temperature, salinity and chlorophyll-$\alpha$ concentration.

The response of the freshwater microalga Chlorella vulgaris to mercuric ion ($Hg^{2+}$) stress was examined using chlorophyll a fluorescence image analysis and O-J-I-P analysis as a way to monitor the toxic effects of mercury on water ecosystems. The levels of photosynthetic pigments, such as chlorophyll a and b and carotenoids, decreased with increasing $Hg^{2+}$ concentration. The maximum photochemical efficiency of photosystem II(Fv/Fm) changed remarkably with increasing $Hg^{2+}$ concentration and treatment time. In particular, above $200{\mu}M\;Hg^{2+}$, considerable mercury toxicity was seen within 2 h. The chlorophyll a fluorescence transient O-J-I-P was also remarkably affected by $Hg^{2+}$; the fluorescence emission decreased considerably in steps J, I, and P with an increase in $Hg^{2+}$ concentration when treated for 4 h. Subsequently, the JIP-test parameters (Fm, Fv/Fo, RC/CS, TRo/CS, ETo/CS, ${\Phi}_{PO}$, ${\Psi}_O$ and ${\Phi}_{EO}$) decreased with increasing $Hg^{2+}$ concentration, while N, Sm, ABS/RC, DIo/RC and DIo/CS increased. Therefore, a useful biomarker for investigating mercury stress in water ecosystems, and the parameters Fm, ${\Phi}_{PO}$, ${\Psi}_O$, and RC/CS can be used to monitor the environmental stress in water ecosystems quantitatively.

Comprehensive data collection was carried out between 2001-2006 to investigate the concentration levels of chlorophyll-a, nutrients (DIN and DIP), and COD for surface waters of Korean coastal areas. A statistical analysis of these parameters was carried out on the basis of the frequency distribution of their concentration. Furthermore, the numeric grading for chlorophyll-a, DIN, DIP, and COD concentrations were derived statistically from the normalized frequency distribution of log-transformed data. The statistical grading clearly reflects the water quality characteristics of three Korean coastal water bodies (Western, Southern and Eastern coastal zones), which indicate common environmental and ecological characteristics. So, this study could provide useful information to set up the guideline for water quality assessment of Korean coasts.
