$CO_2$농도와 온도의 상승으로 인한 지구온난화가 진행되었을 때 광, 수분 그리고 유기물 구배에 따른 멸종위기식물인 황근의 생육과 생태적 지위폭의 변화를 알아보았다. 대조구(야외)와 처리구($CO_2$ + 온도 상승구)로 나누어 각각 광, 수분 그리고 유기물구배를 두어 재배하였다. 그 연구결과, 황근은 낮은 광량보다 높은 광량을 선호하나, 광량이 $787{\pm}77.76{\mu}mol\;m^{-2}s^{-1}$을 넘어가면 높은 광량이라 하더라도 생육이 어려웠다. 또한 유기물이 없거나(0%) 너무 많은 토양(20%)에서는 생육이 어려웠다. 그러나 수분 구배에 따른 경향이 보이지 않았다. 황근의 고사율은 대조구보다 처리구에서 광량이 높은 조건을 제외한 모든 구배에서 높았다. 이는 $CO_2$와 온도가 상승하면 광에 대한 내성범위가 좁아진다는 것을 의미한다. 대조구와 처리구를 비교하였을 때, 수분구배에 따른 경향은 보이지 않았다. 유기물구배에서는 대조구보다 처리구에서 모두 고사율이 낮았는데, 이는 유기물에 대한 내성의 범위가 넓어진 것을 의미한다. 황근의 생태적 지위폭은 처리구가 대조구보다 광 구배에서 30.1% 좁아졌으며, 수분 구배에서 8.6% 그리고 유기물 구배에서 30% 넓어졌다. 따라서 $CO_2$농도와 온도의 증가로 인한 지구온난화가 진행되면, 황근의 생육은 광량에 의해서 제한될 것으로 판단된다.

기후변화에 대비한 멸종위기식물인 죽절초에 대한 정책 마련과 증식 및 복원을 위한 기초자료를 제공하고자 $CO_2$농도와 온도가 상승하였을 때 수분과 유기물 처리에 따른 죽절초의 생육반응을 알아보고 생태적 지위폭의 변화를 확인하였다. 대조구와 처리구($CO_2$농도 상승+온도 상승)로 나누었고 그 내에서 각각 수분 구배와 유기물 구배를 두어 실험을 진행하였다. 그 결과, 대조구에서 수분 구배와 유기물 구배에서 생태적 지위폭이 각각 0.899, 0.844이였고, 지구온난화가 진행되었을 때, 수분 구배와 유기물 구배에서 각각 6.60%(0.988), 2.09%(0.858)로 더 넓어졌다. 이러한 결과로 보아, 지구온난화가 진행된다면 죽절초의 생육에 수분과 유기물은 제한요인이 되지 않을 것이다. 하지만, 생육반응에 대한 연구결과에서 죽절초는 유기물이 함량이 낮은 조건(0~5%)보다는 약간 높은 조건(10%)을 선호하기 때문에, 외부환경에 영향을 받지 않는 온실에서 증식을 시킬 때는 유기물의 함량을 약 10%로 조성해주는 것이 죽절초의 개체 복원을 위해서 좋을 것으로 생각된다. 또한 상대적으로 유기물함량이 높은 죽절초의 자생지 상록활엽수림을 보호해야할 필요가 있다.

This study was executed to find out the succession stage and the ecological niche of Lindera erythrocarpa Markino. Four sites were selected by field investigation. They are Jeondungsa and Jeongsusa of Kanghwa Island, Mt. Suri of Anyang and Mt. Gaya of Chungcheongnamdo. They located in the region which have the similar temperature with Seoul region or lower average temperature for winter than that of adjacent Seoul. In the four sites, L, erythrocarpa was appeard in canopy layer at L. erythrocarpa community in Jeondungsa, L. erythrocarpa-Q. serrata, Z. serrata-L. erythrocarpa community in Jeongsusa, Castanea crenata-L, erythrocarpa community, L. erythrocarpa-Q. serrata community in Mt. Gaya and in the rest of the sites, it lives in subtree and shrub layer. And in the four sites but Jeongsusa area, it correspond with Chang(1991)'s study that L. erythrocarpa is dominant species in the site impacted by human. L. erythrocarpa lives with Quercus spp. such as Q. serrata, Q. variabilis, Q. mongolica and Carpinus laxiflora but it's presumably a passing phenomena.

Two types in the species-importance, one type of carpinus laxiflora, carpinus tschonoskii, quercus serrata, quercus grosseserrata and pnus densiflora community and another type of abeies koreana community classified by zurich-montpellier method, were recognized based on the data from 81 sample plots. The forme species sequence-importance curves were coincidred with the ideal curve calculated by preston's lognormal-distribution theory(1948), with small variations among five communities, and the latter with that of motomura's niche pre-emption hypothesis(1932). It seems that plant community classified by phytosociological method based on the unit concept coincide with the vegetation type recognized by species population analyse based on the continuum concept and the dominance-diversity reflrcts on the difference in the coenocline among their plant communities.

In the littoral zone of Lake Paltangho, a vegetation map of aquatic macrophytes was constructed to estimate their occupied area, and the change of abundance of submersed macrophytes was examined along water depth to elucidate niche perferences on the depth gradient. Total area of the littoral zone was 267 ha, of which submersed, emergent and floating-leaved macrophytes covered 155ha, 103 ha and 10ha, respectively. Submersed macrophytes were distributed within a water-depth of 2.5m, with an apparent pattern of zonation: Vallisnaria gigantea and Ceratophyllum demersum at the deeper water depth of 1.5~2.5m.

The tidal flat of Korea is one of the most dynamic areas in terms of sediment erosion and deposition. Tidal flats provide important food resources, ecological niche for diverse organisms and have functional role of bioremediation by mineralizing organic matters. Generally, microbes are essential constituent for biochemical transformations, such as mineralization of organic matters and biodegradation of pollutants. Understanding microbes in tidal flat sediment is necessary to understand these processes. In order to understand role of microbes in tidal flat, this study investigated prokaryotic communities by several methods such as clone library, DGGE, and pyrosequencing. In addition, quantification of microorganisms and isolation biodegrading bacteria were investigated in tidal flats of Western Coast.

This dissertation, which has been prepared in the region of cheju(33o31'N, 126o32'E) from may,1987 to appril, 1989, is to elucidate the dominant characteristics of early stages in secondary succession, by examining the life history of erigeron annuus for the seeding depth of a seed was dependent upon the degree of shading. That is, on the area of ocm,the more tense the shading was, the more germination percentage was increased, while, in the case of 1.5cm, it was somewhat increased, when shading bwcame ess and less tense. The rosette of e. annuus, through its relative light intensity was decreased by shading, up to 5% of natural light, showed some strong shade tolerance, which had no difficulty in matter production. The species diversity of mixed-species community was the highest in the middle of April, the lowest in the last of may. The dominance index was the highest in the late may, the lowest in the middle of April. Toward the end of may, the occupation rate of dominance species was the highest. There was a neutral relationship between intraspecific and interspecific, owing to the differentiation of its niche, temporally and spatially. Productive structure of the community revealed a narrow leaf type which was concentratively distributed in the mid part of community height. The relative light intensity of community ground surface was 6.1%, the leaf inclination 60o,the extinction coefficient(k) 0.4, biomass of community 1,045.6 g.d.w./m2,T/Rratio 9.3, C/Frate 7.0 and sumgermanition, shade toarance and community characteristics on erigeron annuus l.in chejumed leaf area index 3.88. through the various life cycles o e.annuus, we can say that it decreases mortality of seeding caused by some stress and disturbance, for germination lasts for a long time at any opportunity available, and it promotes population growth. The strong shade tolerance of a rosette and the variableness of a life from differentiate the niche between intraspecific and interspecific within the community, and avoid the direct competition between them, thus poromoting community growth.

Many plant species have two modes of reproduction: sexual and asexual. Both modes of reproduction have often been viewed as adaptations to temporally or spatially variable environments. The plant should adjust partitioning to match changes in the estimated success of the two reproductive modes. Perennial plants showed that favorable habitats in soil nutrients or water content tend to promote clonal growth over sexual reproduction. In contrast, under high light-quantity conditions, clonal plants tend to allocate more biomass to sexual reproduction and less to clonal propagation. On the other hand, plants with chasmogamous and cleistogamous flowers provides with a greater tendency of the opportunity to ensure some seed set in any stressful environmental conditions such as low light, low soil nutrients, or low soil moisture. It is considered that vegetative reproduction has high competitive ability and is the major means to expand established population of perennial plants, whereas cleistogamous reproduction is insurance to persist in stressful sites due to being strong. Chasmogamous reproduction mainly enhances established and new population. Therefore, the functions of sexual and asexual propagules of perennial or annual plants differ from each other. These traits of propagule thus determine its success at a particular region of any environmental gradients. Eventually, if environmental resources or stress levels change in either space or time, species composition will probably also change. The reason based on which the plants differ with respect to favored reproduction modes in each environmental condition, may be involved in their specific realized niche.

An abnormal mono-specific bloom of the cyanobacterium Microcystis aeruginosa had developed at a specific location (transitional zone, monitoring station of Hoenam) in Daecheong Reservoir from middle of July to early August, 2001. The maximum cell counts during the peak bloom reached 1,477,500 cells/mL, which was more than 6~10 times greater than those at other monitoring sites. The hypothesis of this study is that the timing and location of the algal bloom was highly correlated with the local environmental niche that was controled by physical processes such as hydrodynamic mixing and pollutant transport in the reservoir. A three-dimensional, coupled hydrodynamic and ecological model, ELCOM-CAEDYM, was applied to the period of development and subsequent decline of the bloom. The model was calibrated against observed water temperature profiles and water quality variables for different locations, and applied to reproduce the algal bloom event and justify the limiting factor that controled the Microcystis bloom at R3. The simulation results supported the hypothesis that the phosphorus loading induced from a contaminated tributary during several runoff events are closely related to the rapid growth of Microcystis during the period of bloom. Also the physical environments of the reservoir such as a strong thermal stratification and weak wind velocity conditions provided competitive advantage to Microcystis given its light adaptation capability. The results show how the ELCOM-CAEDYM captures the complex interactions between the hydrodynamic and biogeochemical processes, and the local environmental niche that is preferable for cyanobacterial species growth.
