연곡천은 비교적 인위적인 오염원이 적은 오대산 국립공원에서 발원하여 동해로 유출되는 하천으로 평상시에는 거의 I, II등급 수질을 유지하며, 평균 유량은 352,100 ㎥/d정도이다. 그러나 2002년 8월 31일 태풍 루사의 영향으로 물길뿐 아니라 각 조사 정점의 하폭도 크게 변형되었으며, 생태계도 심각한 손상을 입게 되었다. 또한 수해 복구 공사로 인하여 무너진 교량과 축을 새로 정비하고 건설하는 과정에 수리적 특성이 또 다시 변형되었으며, 생태계의 2차적인 손상이 초래되었다. 수해 이후 부착 규조류의 종다양성은 17%정도 감소하였으며, 수생동물의 종다양성은 44% 정도 감소하였다. 그러나 2003년 3원 이후 수해복구 공사가 집중적으로 진행되는 과정에서 하상이 파헤쳐지고 토사가 유출되어 부착 규조류의 경우 수해 전보다 약 32%정도 감소하였으며 수생동물은 거의 소멸되었다. 특히 어류의 경우 상류에 서식하는 버들개와 같은 일부 종을 제외하고는 대부분 전멸되었다. 연곡천은 비교적 인위적인 오염원이 적고 하천의 길이가 짧으며, 경사가 크고 상류에서 하류까지 물의 체류시간이 짧기 때문에 복구 공사와 같은 일시적인 수질 악화 헌상은 빡리 회복될 수 있으나 손상된 생태계가 안정적인 생태계로 회복되는데는 상당히 오랜 시간이 걸릴 것이다. 또한 태풍 루사와 같이 일시적인 집중 강우는 하천 생태계뿐 만 아니라 인근 연안 생태계에도 치명적인 피해를 초래했다. 하천을 통하여 배출된 토사는 태풍 루사 이후 1년 6개원이 경과한 시점에서도 연안환경에서 잔류ㆍ표류하고 있으며, 특히, 정착성 저서생물들(해조류, 쌍각패류 등)의 피해가 현저하게 나타나 인근 연안 어업 생산량의 급격한 감소를 초래하게 되었다.

One of the most concerned topics in ecology is the relationship between biodiversity and ecosystem functioning. However, there are few field studies, carried out in forests, although many studies have been done in controlled experiments in grasslands. In this paper, we describe the relationship pattern between three facets of diversity and productivity at Ratargul Fresh Water Swamp Forest (RFWSF) in Bangladesh, which is the only remaining fresh water swamp forest of the country. Sixty sample plots were selected from RFWSF and included six functional traits including leaf area (LA), specific leaf area (SLA), leaf dry matter content (LDMC), tree height, bark thickness and wood density. In analyzing TD, we used Shannon diversity and richness indices, functional diversity was measured by Rao's quadratic entropy (Rao 1982) and Faith's (1992) index was used for phylogenetic diversity (PD). It was found that, TD, FD and PD were positively related with productivity (basal area) due to resource use complementarity but surprisingly the best predictor of tree productivity was FD. The results contribute to the understanding the effects of biodiversity loss and it is essential for conservation decision-making and policy-making of Ratargul Fresh Water Swamp Forest.

We investigated the mass occurrence of the salp Salpa fusiformis during spring in the southern waters of Korea and the northern East China Sea. Abundance of S. fusiformis and dominant taxonomic groups including copepods, ostracods, euphausiids, and appendicularian was examined along with environmental factors (e.g., temperature, salinity, and chlorophyll-a concentration). The abundance of S. fusiformis at 27 stations ranged from 0 to $183\;inds\;m^{-3}$. Both aggregate and solitary forms of S. fusiformis occurred with a mean abundance of $62\;inds\;m^{-3}$ and $4\;inds\;m^{-3}$, and mean body length of 6.5 mm and 15.4 mm, respectively. Redundancy analysis showed that the abundance of S. fusiformis was negatively correlated with chlorophyll-a concentration, indicating the intensive grazing impact of S. fusiformis on phytoplankton. While the abundance of S. fusiformis increased, the species diversity of zooplankton community decreased. The abundances of total copepods and the dominant copepod species (e.g., adults and/or copepodites of Paracalansus parvus s.l., Calanus sinicus, Oithona similis, and Corycaeus affinis) also decreased with the increase of S. fusiformis abundance. However, the abundance of ostracods, euphausiids, and appendicularians was not affected by the mass occurrence of the salps. These results suggest that the mass occurrence of S. fusiformis in spring could negatively affect ecosystem conditions by changing trophodynamics in the zooplankton community.

Temporal changes in the number of zooplankton species are important information for understanding basic characteristics and species diversity in marine ecosystems. The aim of the present study was to estimate the optimal monitoring frequency (OMF) to guarantee and predict the minimum number of species occurrences for studies concerning marine ecosystems. The OMF is estimated using the temporal number of zooplankton species through bi-weekly monitoring of zooplankton species data according to operational taxonomic units in the Tongyoung coastal sea. The optimal model comprises two terms, a constant (optimal mean) and a cosine function with a one-year period. The confidence interval (CI) range of the model with monitoring frequency was estimated using a bootstrap method. The CI range was used as a reference to estimate the optimal monitoring frequency. In general, the minimum monitoring frequency (numbers per year) directly depends on the target (acceptable) estimation error. When the acceptable error (range of the CI) increases, the monitoring frequency decreases because the large acceptable error signals a rough estimation. If the acceptable error (unit: number value) of the number of the zooplankton species is set to 3, the minimum monitoring frequency (times per year) is 24. The residual distribution of the model followed a normal distribution. This model can be applied for the estimation of the minimal monitoring frequency that satisfies the target error bounds, as this model provides an estimation of the error of the zooplankton species numbers with monitoring frequencies.

The central theme of Habital heterogeneity is to provide animals with habital complexity or structural diversity and to allow resource partitioning among individuals. In turn, the leads to population stability because prey can escape more easily with more hiding places causing less population fluctuation. Species diversity is characterized due to more potential niches both horizontally and verticall. Empirically, in homogeneous habitats population was less abundant, reproduction and survival were lower, spacing behavior, competition and dispersal were higher than in heterogeneous habitats. The results imply that diversity and conservation of species can be maintained through providing heterogeneous habitats.

한반도 주변 3개 해역은 서로 다른 지형과 다양한 해류의 교차로 종다양성의 근간이 된다. 또한, 복잡한 해류가 만나는 전선 주변으로는 좋은 어장이 형성된다. 그러나, 남획에 의한 자원의 감소 및 EEZ 발효에 의한 어장의 축소는 새로운 수산자원 관리법을 필요로 하게 되었다. 수산자원의 효율적 관리를 위해 우선 다양한 해양환경에 적응한 지역개체군의 실체를 파악하는 것이 필요하다. 지역개체군의 형태 및 유전에 관한 연구는 자원의 관리단위 및 구역을 명확히 하는 데 기여할 것이다. 최종적으로 해역별 수산자원의 관리방안 제시가 가능할 것으로 기대된다.

The Asian cultural landscape is a mirrored ecosystem of great complexity, formed by the interaction of man and nature, coupled with a host of ecological processes. The human dependencies on and environmental adaptation of the bio-organisms and the surrounding landscape constitute the typical cultural landscape. Islands are a good example of a cultural landscape, and each mosaic pattern of marine and coastal ecosystems reflects bio-cultural diversity. Along with land-use patterns, wise use of biological organisms and indigenous knowledge has expanded to islands in the Asia-Pacific region in several ways (sea current and human impact, etc.). Loss in biodiversity and landscape diversity as well as cultural diversity owing to global warming and rapid urbanization are emerging issues for island ecosystems all over the world. In order to sustain the historical coexistence between man and natural systems, we ecologists must continue to search for a holistic solution for academic consilience. In this paper, I present the vision and practical characteristics of island ecology with a view toward the conservation of the traditional landscape and bio-cultural diversities in the seascape.

The bacterial diversity of the continental shelf sediment in the Yellow Sea was investigated by the cloning and sequencing of PCR-amplified 16S rRNA genes. The majority of the cloned sequences were distinct phylotypes that were novel at the species level. The richness estimator indicated that the sediment sample might harbor up to 32 phylum-level taxa. A large number of low-abundance, phylum-level taxa accounted for most of the observed phylogenetic diversity at our study site, suggesting that these low-abundance taxa might play crucial roles in the shelf sediment ecosystem.

Identifying the distribution of species and specific factors related to it is very important because it is habitat conservation that is greatly linked not only to ecological research but also to human health. After all, protecting each one's habitat will protect wildlife and further maintain a healthy ecosystem. Therefore, in this study, data were collected, compared, and analyzed through existing studies and field-oriented surveys. The results of the survey confirmed high species diversity in agricultural areas and forest areas that can reduce moisture supply and moisture loss, and the non-segmental environment, that is, ecological connectivity, was largely influenced by amphibian species diversity. It was confirmed that the non-fragmented environment, that is, ecological connectivity, was greatly affected by amphibian species diversity. In addition, the three factors that affect amphibian survival are: It was identified as the effect of not establishing a buffer space, the effect on the ecological transformation around the habitat during the summer rainy season, and the effect on the disconnected ecological environment.
