하천내의 부유물질은 장기간 지속할 경우 심각한 오염원으로 어류 등 수중생태계에 치명적인 영향을 줄 수 있다. 하천내 부유물징 발생원인은 홍수, 퇴적물, 하천변 이용도가 주원인으로 판단된다. 특히 퇴적물의 재부유는 심각한 수생태계 위험 영향이 될 수 있다. 부유로 인한 탁도에 대한 어류 연구는 담수의 경우 매우 미미한 수준이다. 본 연구는 탁도에 대한 하천내의 수생태계 관리 방안 제시를 위한 기초연구이다. 연구는 탁도에 대한 어류반응을 실험을 통해 모니터링하고 이에 대한 경향을 분석하였다. 실험결과 고탁도 구간에서의 수조에서 높은 농도의 부유물질로 인해 산소 공급이 방해되어 어류에 영향을 주는 것을 파악하였다.

Growing complexity in ecosystem structure and functions, under impacts of climate and land-use changes, requires interdisciplinary understandings of processes and the whole-system, and accurate estimates of the changing functions. In the last three decades, observation networks for biodiversity, ecosystems, and ecosystem functions under climate change, have been developed by interested scientists, research institutions and universities. In this paper we will review (1) the development and on-going activities of those observation networks, (2) some outcomes from forest carbon cycle studies at our super-site "Takayama site" in Japan, and (3) a few ideas how we connect in-situ and satellite observations as well as fill observation gaps in the Asia-Oceania region. There have been many intensive research and networking efforts to promote investigations for ecosystem change and functions (e.g., Long-Term Ecological Research Network), measurements of greenhouse gas, heat, and water fluxes (flux network), and biodiversity from genetic to ecosystem level (Biodiversity Observation Network). Combining those in-situ field research data with modeling analysis and satellite remote sensing allows the research communities to up-scale spatially from local to global, and temporally from the past to future. These observation networks oftern use different methodologies and target different scientific disciplines. However growing needs for comprehensive observations to understand the response of biodiversity and ecosystem functions to climate and societal changes at local, national, regional, and global scales are providing opportunities and expectations to network these networks. Among the challenges to produce and share integrated knowledge on climate, ecosystem functions and biodiversity, filling scale-gaps in space and time among the phenomena is crucial. To showcase such efforts, interdisciplinary research at 'Takayama super-site' was reviewed by focusing on studies on forest carbon cycle and phenology. A key approach to respond to multidisciplinary questions is to integrate in-situ field research, ecosystem modeling, and satellite remote sensing by developing cross-scale methodologies at long-term observation field sites called "super-sites". The research approach at 'Takayama site' in Japan showcases this response to the needs of multidisciplinary questions and further development of terrestrial ecosystem research to address environmental change issues from local to national, regional and global scales.

In order to evaluate and predict the environmental impact of the low-trophic-level ecosystem to environmental changes in the Yellow Sea and the East China Sea, an ecological modelling study was undertaken. Simulation results of average distribution patterns and concentrations of water quality factors during the summer by the model were acceptable. Phytoplankton and remineralization rate of organic matter were very important parameters by a sensitivity analysis. Water quality factors showed high values in the estuary of the Yangtze River and in the West and South Sea of Korea and low values in the central area of the Yellow Sea. There is a plume of high values, especially nutrients, off the mouth of the Yangtze that expands or contracts with changes in the discharge strength. Characteristics of responses of water quality factors vary for different scenarios of environmental change, such as land-based pollution sources and atmospheric forcing. It is suggested that changes of light intensity, discharges of input sources, and wind play an important role in the marine ecosystem.

낙동강 하구언 건설에 따른 하구생태계의 변화를 파알하기 위하여 축조 전후의 환경인자와 종속 영양세균의 생리적 특성을 요인분석에 의해 비교하였다. 하구언 축조 후 해수유입의 영향이 급격히 감소하였으며, 축조 전 50.7% 를 차지하던 영양물질의 과다와 관련된 환경변수가 축조후 77.1%로 증가하였다.하구언 축조 전 환경변수와 종속영양세균의 생리적 특성 사이에 밀접한 관련성을 나타냈으며, 축조 후에도 종속영양세균의 생리적 특성이 영양물질의 과다와 관련된 형질로 대부분 해석되어 환경변화와 분포 미생물의 생리적 특성 사이의 관련성을 나타내었다. 그러나 하구언 축조에 따른 해수유입의 차단에도 불구하고 분리균주의 생리적 특성에 의한 요인분석의 3번째 쥬요인이 호염성 형질로 해석되어 작동강 하구의 환경변화에 따른 종속영양세균의 형질이 아직 완전 안정화되지 않은 것으로 사료된다.

인위적 요인에 의해 특성이 바뀐 하천은 인류에게 좋은 기능을 제공하기도 하나 역기능을 주기도 한다. 역기능은 주로 교란으로서 교란이 나타나면 하천의 구조 및 기능 상실은 시간의 경과에 따라 심화된다. 따라서 이 악순환을 끊기 위하여 현황에 대책 마련이 바람직하다. 낙동강에서 하천교란이 이루어진 3개 구간 및 대조구간에서 3년간 어류상을 활용하여 하천생태를 평가하였다. 2007년부터 2009년까지 낙동강의 6개 조사지점에서 나타난 어류상은 3목 10과 41종이었다. 확인된 어종 중 한국고유종은 14종 (34.1%), 외래어종은 3종 (7.3%)이었다. 하천 생태평가 시 출현 종 수, 군집분석, 생태계 구조 및 서식처 다양성을 적용하였다. 6개 지점의 3년 종합 자료 평가를 보면 안동댐 하류, 내성천 수계에서는 출현어종의 수적 불안전성을 나타낸 반면 감천은 안동댐 수계보다 출현종의 다양성이 나타나고 있었다. 안동댐 하류, 내성천, 그리고 감천을 포함하는 모래하천은 임하댐 하류 및 길안천을 포함하는 자갈하천보다 생물 다양성과 서식처 다양성이 우수한 것으로 나타났다.

According to Geum-River restoration project, given conditions for management of water environment in the Geum-River were changed. Because of those changes, this study was investigated the establishment of water quality standards and water quality target in the Geum-River basin. For management of water environment in the Geum-River, the sub-basins and watersheds are newly divided and the water quality and ecosystem standards in the sub-basins are reestablished. Considering the consistency of water environment policy and legal system, the legal name of sub-basins and watersheds are unified. TMDL (total maximum daily load) should be implemented in the sub-basin where exceeds the water quality standards and the number of water pollutant among the water quality parameters which exceeds the water quality standards are extremely minimized. The water quality target of water pollutant for implementation of TMDL should be established same or higher concentration of water quality standards.

This study analyzes the river system and water quality conditions of Bukchun in order to establish a basic plan for Preparing a natural learning and experimental area of environmental ecosystem in Bukchun, Gyeongju. It also tries to establish an integrated plan for water management of Bukchun stream based on water contaminants. In addition, after analysing the water quality at 13 points during the non-rainy season, the effluent of municipal wastewater was of relatively better quality with I ~ II grade, below the water quality standard of the river, except in points near Samsung apartments. However, analysing the Hyeongsangang and the effluent of Bomunho and Duckdongdam in rainy season, the water quality was II ~ III grade according to environmental standard. The water Quality of those samples was strongly dependent of non-point source.

A Plankton ecosystem model was developed to investigate effects of hydrodynamic processes including advection and diffusion on size-structured phytoplankton dynamics in the mesohaline zone of the York River estuarine system, Virginia, USA. The model included 12 state variables representing the distribution of carbon and nutrients in the surface mixed layer. Groupings of autotrophs and heterotrophs were based on cell site and ecological hierarchy Forcing functions included incident radiation, temperature, wind stress, mean How and tide which includes advective transport and turbulent mixing. The ecosystem model was developed in FORTRAN using differential equations that were solved using the 4th order Runge-Kutta technique. The model showed that microphytoplankton blooms during winter-spring resulted from a combination of vertical advection and diffusion of phytoplankton cells rather than in-situ production in the lower York River estuary.

This study established a 3D ecosystem model composed of stratification considering the topographic heat accumulation effect and river outflow, and then applied this model to Jinhae, Masan Bay. Specifically, it reenacted the formation and developmental process of ODW according to the stratification by calculating the kinematic eddy viscosity and eddy diffusion coefficient of the stratification model. The results were used as input data for the ecosystem model and compared with DO, COD, I-N, and I-P, which is the standard index of ocean water quality. As a result, it was determined that COD and T-N are third grade and T-P is second grade standards for a natural environment.
