Benthic macroinvertebrates were collecte in the middle reaches of the paenae stream, a tributary of th naktong river in korea, in four seasons from August 1989. To may 1990, during the study period, 125 species, 81 genera and 41 families were collected. Overall, the most dominant species was lepidostoma sp. 1 followed by heptagenia kihada, neoperla quadrata, diamesa sp. 1, ect.. the community was most diverse in autumn, However the number of collectd individuals was highest in winter. Species of chironomids including diamesa sp. 1 and mayflies including paraleptophlebia chocorata were collected exceptionally in a large number in winter. Seasonal occurrence of funtional groups such as collectors, shredders and scrapers was related with the availadlity of food sourses in the stream. The abundance of predators was relatively stable in four seasons with 17% on average. Diversity, tbi and chandler's biotic score(bs) in the paenae strem were 3.75, 14.5, and 100 on average, respectively. Based on biological and chemical indices the paenae stream was clean in the range of xeno- and oligo- saprobity.

The primary succession of the pebble area in gye-bang chon, an upper stream bank of north han river, was investigated by belt transect method from July to October 1990. The stsges of bare area, herbaceous pioneer, perenial herb, woody plants and pine stand were recognized from stream bank to inland. The change of the coverage in herbaceous plants increased with developing sueccessional sere but decreaser with increment of woody plants. The species sequence cyrves vs. relative coverage were geometric in pioneer stage and graduaiiy changed to lognormal y\type as the development of forest. The species diversity was highest during then woody plants stage, probably it would to be the edge effect. The soil properties were not noticeable difference between stream side and inland side. It seems that the vegetational developement was not enough to affect soil accumulation.

A comprehensive quality survey for PCDDs/PCDFs and coplanar PCBs as well as heavy metals (Cu, Zn, Cd and Pb) in sediments has been investigated in August 2006, Korea. Monitoring was undertaken at five streams representing different surrounding environments throughout Juwang and Gapyeong streams (reference sites), Jungrang stream (dense population site), Ansan stream (mixed small population and industrial site), and Siheung stream (heavy industrial site). The levels of heavy metal in samples were found to be significantly higher in sediment from Siheung stream compared to those of other stream sites. The heavy metal concentrations (dry weight basis) in sediment from Siheung stream were as follows; Cd (3.7 ${\mu}g$/g), Pb (1,295 ${\mu}g$/g), Cu (713.4 ${\mu}g$/g) and Zn (358.1 ${\mu}g$/g). Among 12 coplanar PCBs and 17 PCDDs/PCDFs selected as target compounds in this study, PCB (IUPAC no. 118) and OCDD were the most abundant congeners found in all sediment samples, followed by 1,2,3,4,6,7,8-HpCDD, OCDF and 1,2,3,4,6,7,8HpCDF as well as PCB (IUPAC no. 105). These results were shown to be in the same trend as the sediment samples of other countries. The levels of PCDDs/PCDFs/coplanar PCBs in sediment samples were expressed as concentrations and WHO- TEQ values. The PCDDs/PCDFs/coplanar PCBs concentrations and their WHO-TEQ values in sediment from Siheung stream were remarkably high. The levels detected were 788.16 pg/g and 36.080 pg WHO-TEQ/g dry weight for PCDDs/ PCDFs and 314 pg/g and 0.4189 pg WHO-TEQ/g dry weight for coplanar PCBs, respectively, beyond the safety level of sediment value 20 pg WHO-TEQ/g. Sediment samples of the five streams were also monitored by sensitive biomarkers using insect immune responses: hemocyte-spreading behavior and immune-associated enzyme activities of phospholipase A$_2$ (PLA$_2$) and phenoloxidase. Organic extracts of Siheung and Jungrang sediments significantly interfered with the hemocytespreading behavior, whereas those of Ansan, Gapyeong, and Juwang did not. These organic extracts did not inhibit the PLA$_2$ and phenoloxidase activities. However, phenoloxidase was highly susceptible to exposure to aqueous extracts in all site sediments. In comparison, PLA$_2$ activities of the hemocytes were significantly inhibited only by aqueous extracts of Siheung, Jungrang, and Gapyeong sediments, but not by those of Ansan and Juwang. Despite some disparity between bioand chemical monitoring results, the biomarkers can be recommended as a device warning the contamination of biohazard environmental chemicals because of a fast and inexpensive detection method.

섬강 수계로 유입되는 도시하천(원주천)의 유입이 부착조류 군집에 미치는 생태학적 영향을 평가하기 위하여 부착조류 및 수질조사를 실시하였다. 조사는 섬강 본류와 원주천을 포함한 지류 등 총 14개 지점을 선정하여 2007년 10월에서 2008년 9월에까지 계절별로 4회에 걸쳐 실시하였다. 조사결과, 수온과 용존산소를 제외한 대부분의 수질항목은 계절 변이가 크지 않았고, 섬강 상류에서 가장 낮은 농도를 보였으며, 섬강 중류(원주천 유입부분)에서 가장 높은 농도를 보였고, 원주천 합류 이후 하류로 갈수록 점차 농도가 감소하였다. 조사기간 동안 가장 높은 빈도와 생물량을 보인 종은 Achnanthes convergens이었고, 원주천를 비롯하여 수질오염이 심한 지점에서는 Navicula goeppertiana, Navicula subminuscula, Nitzschia palea 등이 높은 밀도를 보였다. 각 조사지점의 TDI(trophic diatom index)에 의하면, 섬강 수계는 크게 3 그룹 - 섬강 상류와 지류하천(A 또는 B등급), 원주천(D등급), 합류후 섬강하류의 본류(C등급)로 구분되었으며, 대부분의 수질과 높은 상관성을 보였다. 생물 및 수질요인을 근거로 하는 유사도 분석결과는 TDI 지수의 분포와 유사하였다. 따라서, 인구밀집과 공업단지를 관통하는 원주천은 섬강 수계에 서식하는 부착규조 및 수질에 큰 영향을 미치며, 원주천 합류 이후 하류로 갈수록 오염정도가 점차 감소하는 것으로 평가되었다.

The purpose of this research is classifying stream into different types depending on various factor from the perspective of stream corridor restoration and using it as basic data, which are used to consider efficient management and planning for the healthy stream according to the characteristic by types. In this study, 130 points of location of the Nakdong river basin which consist of various geographic factors have been chosen and hierarchical cluster analysis has been carried out in these points by using biological and physiochemical factors whose health can be considered to be predicted and evaluated. As a result of cluster analysis, there were three divided types. Type A whose biology and water quality are considered the best was the highest in forest area percentage so that it was classified into natural stream. Type B was classified into a rural region stream with a mixture of urban and agricultural region. Type C, with the most damaged water quality and biology health had the most urban region surface area and was named as urban region stream. Moreover, an overall restoration strategy according to characteristic by stream types was set. By the results of correlation analysis on factors, water quality showed a high correlation with biological properties and was affected by surrounding land usage. In evaluation of streams, it proves the need to consider not only other habitat's geographical and biological factors but also the water quality and land usage factors. There needs to be further research on stream ecosystem functionality factors and structural aspects by using a more objective and total evaluation result in selecting additional index and various other specific classification methods by stream types and its restoration strategies.

Colonization patterns and community changes in benthic macroinvertebrates in the Cheonggye Stream, a functionally restored stream in downtown Seoul, Korea, were studied from November 2005 to November 2007. Benthic macroinvertebrates were quantitatively sampled 15 times from five sites in the stream section. Taxa richness (59 species in total) increased gradually over the first year, whereas the density revealed seasonal differences with significantly lower values in the winter season and after flood events. The benthic macroinvertebrate fauna may have drifted from the upstream reaches during floods and from the Han River, arrived aerially, or hitchhiked on artificially planted aquatic plants. Oligochaeta, Chironommidae, Psychodidae, and Hydropsychidae were identified as major community structure contributors in the stream. Swimmers and clingers colonized relatively earlier in the upper and middle reaches, whereas burrowers dominated particularly in the lower reaches. Collector-gatherers colonized at a relatively early period throughout the stream reaches, and collector-filterers, such as the net-spinning caddisfly (Cheumatopyche brevilineata), predominated in the upper and middle reaches after a 1-year time period. Cluster analyses and multi-response permutation procedures demonstrated that the Cheonggye Stream shares more similarities with the Jungnang Stream than with the Gapyeong Stream. Detrended correspondence analysis and nonmetric multidimensional scaling demonstrated that physical environmental factors (depth, current velocity, dissolved oxygen, and pH) as well as nutrients (total nitrogen and total phosphorous), water temperature, and conductivity could affect the distribution of benthic macroinvertebrates in the study streams.

본 연구는 농촌경관의 잔여경관요소로서 중요한 기능을 수행하고 있는 경작지 내 소규모 습지 및 소하천의 경관생태적 특성 및 가치분석을 토대로 현실적인 개선방안을 제시해 보는데 가장 큰 의의를 두고있다. 연구결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 1) 총 7개의 공간에서 출현하고 있는 습지비오톱의 경관생태적 특성분석 결과, 일례로 사례지 5의 경우 수면의 크기가 $10,600m^2$로 비교적 넓게 형성되어 있었으며, 수변의 기울기, 띠숲의 폭, 식생조성상태 등에서 매우 양호한 것으로 평가되었다. 또한 굴곡성은 사례지 8-1에서 주요 돌출부의 수가 2개로 가장 높았으며, 형태적 다양성 역시 1.47로 가장 높은 값을 보였다. 2) 습지비오톱의 문제점 분석 결과, 대부분의 습지들은 여과기능을 수행하기 위한 초본 띠숲의 폭이 1m 내외로 조성상태가 미흡한 것으로 분석되었으며, 특히 사례지 8에서 나타나고 있는 4곳의 습지들은 수변의 기울기가 $45^{\circ}$ 이상으로 사면식생이 생육하기에는 어려움이 있는 것으로 나타났다. 3) 총 6개의 공간에서 출현하고 있는 소하천의 경관 생태적 특성분석 결과, 일례로 사례지 4의 경우 수변 폭은 55m로 가장 넓었으며, 흙, 돌, 자갈 등의 자연재료로 형성되어 있는 것으로 조사되었다. 반면 사례지 2-2의 경우 수변 폭은 4m로 가장 좁았으며, 사면의 경사각은 $90^{\circ}$로 직각의 형태를 이루고 있었다. 또한 식생의 생육이 이루어지고 있지 못한 것으로 나타났던 바, 생태적 가치는 매우 낮은 것으로 평가되었다. 4) 소하천의 문제점 분석 결과, 사례지 2-1은 수변 띠숲의 폭이 5m 정도로 수변 폭에 비해 매우 좁았으며, 주변 경작지로부터 유해 화학물질이 여과없이 방류되고 있었다. 또한 사례지 2-2는 전구간이 콘크리트 포장면으로 형성되어 있으며, 직선적인 하천구조로 인해 자연정화 능력, 홍수방지, 생물서식공간 확보의 측면에서 그 기능이 매우 미약한 것으로 분석되었다. 5) 이상과 같은 경관생태적 특성분석, 문제점 분석 결과를 토대로, 습지의 경우 크게 형상, 식생, 지형구 조적 측면에서, 소하천의 경우 크게 종단구조, 횡단구조적 측면에서 주요 개선방안을 설정하였다. 본 연구의 결과는 최근 농촌지역의 대규모 개발사업, 농지정리사업 및 도로건설 등에서 야기되는 습지및 소하천의 훼손을 방지할 수 있는 기초자료를 제공해 줄 수 있을 것을 판단되며, 또한 이들의 추가조성을 위한 가이드라인을 제시해 줄 수 있을 것으로 사료된다. 그러나 본 연구의 결과를 타 지역으로 확대 적용해 나가기 위해서는 무엇보다 다양한 사례연구를 통한 객관화된 모형개발 및 검증이 뒷받침되어야 할 것으로 생각된다.

The relationship between land uses and water quality was investigated at Kyong-an Stream. Some 70% of this watershed was forested area, half of which was comprised of Pinus densilflora community. Concentrations of $NH_4^{+},\;NO_3^{-},\;NO_2^{-}, total nitrogen, $Cl^{-},\;PO_4^{3-}$, DO, and BOD increased gradually from upstream to downstream, whereas heavy metals did not have such tendancy with the exception of a few sites. Urban area was significantly correlated with hardness and chloride concentration. Relationship among phosphate concentration(P), cultivated field area(F), and stream length(S) in each basin was P = 1.7912 F/S＋0.0103. the concentration of $NH_4^{＋}$ was positively correlated with the population size and cow density within the catchment. The effect of urban area(U) and stream length of the pH(pH) was represented by pH = -4.7344 U/S＋6.52. It can be concluded that the control of nonpoint source pollution as well as point source pollution is one of the important problems of water quality management, especially geological properties must be considered for sustainable development.

The ecosystem in the Gwangju Stream has taken a wide range of disturbance such as the discharging water of sewage treatment plant, the lake water and the river water from different water system over the past decade. This study was figured out some significant influence factors by analyzing the relationship between biotic and abiotic factors in the urban stream. Abiotic components included 15 water quality variables which were measured in five sampling sites along the stream from October 2014 to July 2015, whereas the benthic macroinvertebrates found in those sites were used to estimate various biotic indices representing the ecological status of the community. The results of correlation analyses indicated that abiotic factors by human activities affected on the inhabitation of benthic macroinvertebrates more than biotic factors. The results of cluster analyses and ANOVA tests also showed that biotic and abiotic characteristics were clearly different in season. The main influence factors of cluster analysis by sites were $NH_3-N$, EPT(I) and DO. It was considered that more various statistical analyses would be necessary to find some different relationships and influence factors between biotic and abiotic variables in the urban stream.
