본 연구는 부산시의 대표적인 도시하천인 온천천에서 가뭄 및 집중호우 등 환경적 교란이 수질 및 부착규조류 군집에 미치는 영향을 파악하기 위하여 2013년~2014년 2년간 연구를 수행하였다. 긴 갈수기였던 2013년 4분기~2014년 1분기와 2014년 3분기에 강한 집중 호우 사이에 급격한 하천 수질 변화를 보였다. 부착규조류는 비교적 짧은 유하거리에 비해 도심화 정도에 따라 상류에서 하류까지 뚜렷하게 군집 구조 변화를 보였으나 긴 가뭄기간 동안 감소된 유량은 종조성에 영향을 주어 Cocconeis placentula var. lineata에서 Gomphonema clevei이 우점종으로 바뀌고 Gomphonema 속 등 주요 분포 종으로 조사되었다. 갈수기 이후 강한 강우로 부착규조류의 종조성보다 생물량이 급격하게 감소되었고 이는 국지적 기후 변화로 수생태계 구조와 기능에 많은 영향이 생김을 알 수 있었다. 따라서, 기후 변화에 의한 도시기후의 이상현상과 도시하천의 수질 및 부착규조류의 분포 특성 연구는 도시하천 생태계 특성과 변화 연구에 있어서 기초 자료로 활용될 수 있을 것으로 기대하며 국지적인 환경변화에 대응하는 도시하천의 유지관리 방안을 찾는 데 도움이 될 것으로 판단된다.

본 연구는 임하호 유역에 위치하는 반변천, 길안천과 낙동강에 총 8개 정점을 선정하여 2008년 9월부터 2009년 6월까지 물리-화학적 요인과 부착규조 군집과의 관계를 조사하였다. 부착 규조류는 총 120종류로서 2목, 3아목, 7과, 22속, 108종 및 12변종으로 구성되어 있다. 부착 규조 군집의 우점종은 Achnanthes alteragracillima, A. convergens, A. minutissima와 Fragilaria construens var. venter 등 4종류로 구성되어 있다. 부착 규조 군집과 물리-화학적 요인과의 관계(r)는 -0.94~0.97의 범위로 각요인에 대한 상관성의 범위가 넓었다. 물리적 요인인 탁도와 부착 규조 군집의 밀도, 종수 및 각 생물 지수 등과의 관계는 -0.25~0.18의 범위로서 화학적 요인보다 낮은 음 또는 양의 관계를 나타내었다. QHEI와 부착 규조 군집의 각 요인과의 관계는 -0.18~0.42의 범위로서 이 요인 역시 화학적 요인보다는 다소 낮은 음 또는 양의 상관성을 나타내었다. 물리적 서식지 (QHEI)와 부착 규조 군집과의 관계는 낮은 유의성을 나타내었다. TP와 DAIpo, TDI가 높은 상관성(r=0.79, 078)을 나타내므로 총인이 부착 규조군집에 영향을 미친 것으로 나타났다.

Background: This study was conducted to assess the physicochemical water quality and the altitudinal distribution of low-temperature and mountain epilithic diatom (LTMD) community in Buk and Hangae streams that are located in Seorak Mountain with the height of 1708 m in Korea. And the community characteristics of LTMD found in the Buk and Hangae streams were compared to that of LTMD from the Han River system. Results: The physicochemical water qualities of Buk and Hangae streams were determined to be very clean. As a result of analyzing the community composition, 135 taxa of epilithic diatoms were determined, and 22 taxa appeared including Hannaea arcus var. subarcus which are known to have low-temperature and mountain ecological characteristics in the literatures. The relative frequencies of LTMD were 37.0~0.9% range from the upper to lower regions. Although Diatoma tenuis, Eunotia minor, and Gomphonema affine are known to be ubiquitous in streams and lakes, in this research, the three taxa were added into low-temperature and mountain epilithic diatom, since D. tenuis and E. minor appeared only in altitudes above 600 m, and G. affine had the highest relative frequency during spring and fall in altitudes above 700 m, when water temperature was around $10^{\circ}C$. Conclusions: Among the 24 taxa of low-temperature and mountain epilithic diatom (LTMD) (including the 3 taxa added in this study), 14 taxa (Diatoma hyemalis, D. mesodon, D. tenuis, Hannaea arcus, H. arcus var. subarcus, Ulnaria inaequalis, Eunotia bilunaris, E. implicata, E. minor, E. muscicola, E. silvahercynia, E. septena, Delicata delicatula, and Gomphonema affine) represented the characteristics of LTMD very well; they grow best in water temperatures below $15^{\circ}C$ in Buk and Hangae streams and Han River system.

The purpose of this study was to assess biological river water quality by using epilithic diatoms at 40 selected sites in Geum, Youngsan, and Seomjin River systems. The sampling and analyses were performed during three seasons including January, April and June in 2005. Various water quality parameters also were analyzed. We attempted to classify the water quality condition by epilithic diatom indices (DAIpo and TDI) with the results of corresponding analyses of various chemical water quality parameters. A five class system was delivered to describe the water quality condition ranged from "very good" to "very poor." We also proposed a way of classifying water quality condition by combining two diatom indices of DAIpo and TDI. Our results showed that biomass of epilithic diatoms varied not only seasonally but spatially; it was not likely that winter diatoms represent average water quality condition, due to high concentration of nutrients. Water quality status assessed by diatom indices was generally worse than that assessed by BOD, indicating that BOD standard likely underestimates the biological condition of the water body. Importantly, nutrient-based diatom index (TDI) generally overestimated organic matter-based index (DAIpo) at most study sites, indicating that diatoms in studied rivers were likely more affected by nutrients than organic matter. Thus, management strategy to improve river water quality in Korea is suggested to emphasize more on the nutrients than organic matters.

To investigate the epilithic diatom community and water quality of the Osan stream, water samples were collected from the eight stations from April to September 2003. Sampling was two times before and after heavy rain. Total 52 diatom were identified and divided into 12 saproxenosus taxa, 6 saprophilous taxa and 34 indifferent taxa, respectively. The DAIpo values higher after heavy rain than before that. According to tolerance degree to the organic water pollution, all sampling stations ranged from $\alpha$-oligosaprobic to $\alpha$-mesosaprobic. Thus, the result indicates that the water quality of Osan stream is gradually improved by heavy rain.

The abundance and community structure of epilithic diatoms grown on different substrata were investigated in two first-order streams located in a limestone and granite area, north of the Suzuka Mountains in Central Japan. Experiments were conducted as follows: limestone and granite without algae were submerged in their own streambed or another stream station and incubated for seven weeks, while limestone and granite with algae were transferred to another stream station and incubated at the same time. The diatom biomass was consistently high in the lime-stone station experiments compared to those at the granite station. In addition, there was more diatom biomass on granite substrata than on the limestone substrata at both stations. The present results suggested that the difference in water chemistry including the major nutrient concentrations was the limiting factor for algal growth in these two streams; however, when the water chemistry was the same in each stream, the difference in substratum characteristics became the important factor affecting the diatom abundance. The diatom community grown on the transferred substrata with and without algae became similar to those grown on the original substrata in each stream during the incubation period. It was suggested that the effect of the substrata characteristics on the diatom community structure was rather small.

To study the distribution characteristics of diatom communities in relation to the gradient of water quality and land-use, water samples and epilithic diatoms were collected from 90 sites including mainstream and tributaries, in the Geum River System (GRS) during no rainfall, May 2011. Of 239 taxa identified, Achnanthes convergens and Cymbella minuta were dominated over all the sites. Cluster analysis on the GRS divided into three groups. Group 1 (G1) is the mountainous upstream, a relatively good water quality, and mainly consisted of saproxenous species. Group 2 (G2) is the urban sites, polluted (high in electric conductivity, total phosphate and soluble reactive phosphorus), and saproxenous and common species. Group 3 (G3) is the agriculture sites, and polluted (turbidity, total nitrogen, nitrate), and saprophilous species. There were some discrepancies between abiotic and biotic variables in GRS; biologically similar between G1 and G2, but abiotically similar between G2 and G3. These differences may attribute to not only physiological characteristics of diatom cells, but complicate relationships between microhabitat and water quality. Thus, an urgent development of generalized or standardized methods to diminish the differences between epilithic diatom community and environments is advent.

Spatial and temporal distribution of environmental factors and epilithic diatom communities in major rivers (30 rivers and 58 sampling points) of the Korean peninsula were surveyed each one time before (May) and after the monsoon (October) 2012. The stream of the east harbor (EAST), the south harbor (SOUTH), and the west harbor (WEST) was sampled in order. Over the survey, a total of 284 taxa were classified, and the number of diatom species in each harbor did not show significant changes after the monsoon, but a biomass significantly decreased. Results also showed that EAST deterioration of water quality and chlorophyll-a after the monsoon, was opposite to SOUTH. Five major dominant species including Nitzschia inconspicua, which contained higher biomass over the survey, were common species which widely distributed in brackish water. Indicator Species Analysis showed that a large number of clean water species in EAST and polluted water species in SOUTH and WEST were emerged respectively. In sum, the Asian monsoon significantly decreased a biomass of epilithic diatoms and water qualities over the harbors (lower stream) in the Korean peninsula, but did not change the major species indicating water quality.

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.
