$NO^3$-N removal was examined from July 2002 to December 2002 of a surface-flow constructed treatment wetland cell, which was a part of a treatment wetland system composed of four wetland cells and one distribution pond. The system was established on rice paddy near the Kohung Estuarine Lake located at the southern part of the Korean Peninsula. The lake and the paddy were formed by a salt marsh reclamation project. Effluent from a secondary-level treatment plant was funneled into the system. The investigated cell was created in June 2002. Its dimensions were 87 m in length and 14 m in width. It had an open water zone at its center, which was equivalent to 10 percent of its total area. Reeds(Phragmites australis) were transplanted from natural wetlands into the cell and their stems were cut at about 40 cm height from their bottom ends. Average 25 $m^3$/day of effluent from the plant was funneled into the cell by gravity flow and average 24.2$m^3$/day of its treated effluent was discharged into the Sinyang Stream flowing into the lake. Its water depth was maintained about 0.2 m and its hydraulic detention time averaged 5.2 days. The average height of the reed stems was 45.2 cm in July 2002 and 80.5 cm in September 2002. The number of stems averaged 40.3 stems/$m^2$ in July 2002 and 74.5 stems/$m^2$ in September 2002. The reeds were established initially well. $NO_3$-N loading rate of influent and effluent averaged 173.7 and $93.5mg/m2{\cdot}day$, respectively. Removal of $NO_3$-N averaged $80.2mg/m2{\cdot}day$ and its removal rate by mass was about 50 %. Considering the initial operation of the cell and the inclusion of the cold months of November and December in the analysis period, the $NO_3$-N removal rate was good.

Nitrate removal was examined from May to October 2003 of a surface flow treatment wetland cell, which was a part of a treatment wetland system composed of four wetland cells and a distribution pond The system was established on rice paddy near the Kohung Estuarine Lake located in the southern part of the Korean Peninsula. Effluent from a secondary-level night soil treatment plant was funneled into the system. The investigated cell, 87 m in length and 14 m in width, was created in April 2003. An open water was designed at its center, which was equivalent to 10 percent of its total area. Cattails (Typha angustifolia) were transplanted from natural wetlands into the cell and their stems were cut at about 40cm height from their bottom ends. Average $25.0\;m^3/day$ of effluent from the treatment plant was funneled into the cell by gravity flow and average $24.1\;m^3/day$ of its treated effluent was discharged into the Sinyang Stream flowing into the lake. Its water depth was maintained about 0.2 m and its hydraulic detention time averaged 5.2 days. Average height of the cattail stems was 42.5 cm in May 2M3 and 117.7 cm in September 2003. The number of stems averaged $9.5\;stems/m^2$ in May 2003 and $16.4\;stems/m^2$ in September 2003. The growth of cattails was good. Temperature of influent and effluent averaged 25.9 and $26.7^{\circ}C$, respectively. $NO_3$-N loading rate of influent and effluent averaged 176.67 and $88.09\;mg/m^2\;day$, respectively. Removal of rf03-N averaged $89.58\;mg/m^2\;day$ and its removal rate by mass was about 50%. Considering its initial operating stage in which cattail rhizomes and litter layer on the bottom were not Idly established, the $NO_3$-N removal rate of the cell was rather good.

본 연구에서는 비점오염원 제어를 목적으로 조성한 인공습지의 현장실험 결과를 바탕으로 인공습지의 식생피도가 습지의 처리효율에 미치는 영향과 습지식물의 조성 및 관리방안에 대해 고찰하였다. 인공습지에 수생식물을 인공식재하지 않고 자연적인 활착을 유도한 결과 3번의 생장기를 거치면서 평균 약 90% 이상의 높은 식생피도를 얻을 수 있었으며, 원활한 식생활착을 위해서는 물 관리가 매우 중요한 것으로 나타났다. T-N, T-P의 제거율은 연 평균 약 45 ${\sim}$ 55% 정도로 높게 나타났으며, T-P는 생장기와 동절기 모두 비슷한 제거율을 나타낸 반면에, T-N의 제거율은 수온의 영향으로 동절기 동안 생장기보다 낮은 약 33%를 나타내었다. 약 15%의 범위 내에서 식생피도의 차이는 T-P의 처리효율에 영향을 미치지 않는 반면에, 동절기 T-N의 처리효율에 영향을 미쳐 식생피도가 낮은 습지가 처리효율 또한 낮게 나타났다. 이는 질산성질소의 탈질화에 필수적인 유기탄소가 식생피도가 낮은 습지에서 적게 공급되었기 때문이라 생각된다. 영양물질 제거를 위한 인공습지를 조성할 경우 습지 전체를 모두 식생으로 피복되도록 하는 것 보다는 약 10 ${\sim}$ 15% 범위 내에서 일부 구역을 개방수역 (open water)으로 처리하여 어류 및 물새들을 위한 서식공간을 제공하여도 영양물질 제거효율에는 큰 차이가 발생하지 않을 것으로 생각된다. 대규모로 인공습지를 조성할 경우에는 영양물질 제거량을 증대시키기 위해 식물체를 제거하는 관리방안은 수행하지 않는 것이 경제적으로나 습지의 관리적인 측면에서 좋을 것으로 생각된다.

해안습지는 육지와 해양이 만나는 점이지대에 형성된 해안퇴적지형으로, 이 중 염하구는 하천과 조류의 영향이 갯강을 통해 직접적으로 미치는 만입형 해안습지이다. 따라서 하천과 조류에 의한 퇴적작용은 염하구의 성장과 발달에 있어서 가장 중요한 프로세스이다. 해안습지는 최근 중요한 환경문제로 대두되고 있는 해수면 상승의 영향을 직접적으로 받는 지형이기 때문에, 해안습지 성장률에 관한 연구는 해안환경의 이해와 관리에 있어 중요한 자료를 제공한다. 본 연구는 순천만 염하구 해안습지를 대상으로 상이한 시간단위 속에서 진행되는 퇴적률과 조류에 의한 부유하중의 이동패턴 분석을 토대로 해안습지 성장률의 공간적 특성을 밝히고자 하였다. 조석의 일주기간의 퇴적률은 경사변환점이 염생습지보다 높은 값을 나타내었으며, 하구에서 바다로 이동하면서 퇴적률이 감소하였다. 따라서 조석의 일주기간의 퇴적률에서는 갯강과 배후 갯벌사이 경사변환점의 제방효과와 부유하중의 농도가 중요하게 작용하였다. 연간 퇴적률은 염생습지가 경사변환점보다 높은 값을 나타내어 조석의 일주기간의 퇴적률과는 다른 공간적 특성을 보였다. 그러나 하구에서 바다로 이동하면서 퇴적률이 감소하는 것은 동일하였다. 따라서 연간 퇴적률에서는 식생에 의한 부유하중 고착능력과 조류의 정체시간, 부유하중의 농도가 중요하게 작용하였다. 조류내 부유하중의 농도는 전체적으로 썰물시 영생습지를 통과한 직후가 밀물시 경사변환점을 통과한 직후보다 높은 감소율을 나타내었다. 그리고 썰물시 경사변환점을 통과한 직후의 부유하중 농도는 오히려 약간 증가하였는데, 이는 썰물에 의해 경사변환점의 퇴적물이 침식되었기 때문이다. 연구지역의 퇴적률은 시간단위와 지점에 따라 다양한 특성을 보이면서 매우 빠르게 진행되고 있다. 경사변환점은 제방효과에 의한 퇴적과 조류 및 외부요인에 의한 침식이 동시에 일어난 반면, 염생습지는 조류의 정체시간과 식생에 의한 부유하중 포획에 따라 침식보다는 퇴적이 활발하게 일어났다. 따라서 연구지역의 성장률은 갯강을 중심으로 횡적으로는 염생습지가 경사변환점보다 높고, 종적으로하는 하구지점에 가까울수록 높게 나타났다. 특히, 지난 1년간의 성장률은 다른 지역에 비해서 매우 빠른 $0.9{\sim}3.5cm/yr$로 모든 지점에서 퇴적이 침식보다 우세하게 나타났는데, 이는 연구지역이 새로운 퇴적환경으로 전이되고 있는 것과 밀접한 관계가 있는 것이다.

Wetland systems are widely accepted natural water purification systems around the world in nonpoint sources pollution control. Constructed wetlands have become a popular technology for treating contaminated surface and wastewater. In this study, the field experiment to reduce nonpoint source pollution loadings from polluted stream waters using wetland system was performed from June 2002 to March 2004, including winter performance using four newly constructed wetlands. The Dangjin stream water flowing into Seokmun estuarine lake was pumped into wetlands, and inflow and hydraulic residence time of the system was $500m^{3}{\~}1500m^{3}/day\;and\;2{\~}5$ days respectively. After 3 years operation plant-coverage was about $80~90\%$ from zero at initial stage even with no plantation. Average water quality of the influent in growing season was BOD_{5}\;3.96mg/L$, TSS 22.98 mg/L, T-N 3.29 mg/L, T-P 0.30 mg/L. The average removal rate of four wetlands for $BOD_{5},\;TSS,\;T-N\;and\;T-P$ in growing season was $24\%$, $62\%$, $54\%$, and $51\%$, respectively. And average water quality of the influent in winter season was $BOD_{5}$ 4.92 mg/L, TSS 12.47 mg/L, T-N 5.54 mg/L, and T-P 0.32 mg/L, respectively. The average removal rate of four wetlands for them was $-21\%$. $23\%$, $33\%$, and $53\%$, respectively. The reason of higher BOD_{5} effluent concentration in winter season might be that low temperature restrained microorganism activity and a organic body from the withered plant and algae was flown out. Except the result of $BOD_{5}$, the effectiveness of water quality improvement in winter season was satisfactory for treating polluted stream waters, and $BOD_{5}$ variation was within the range of background concentration. Performance of the experimental system was compared with existing data base (NADB), and it was within the range of general system performance. Overall, the wetland system was found to be satisfactory for NPS control such as improvement of polluted stream water.

A closed flux chamber system was used for measuring major greenhouse gas (GHG) emission from tideland and/or wetland soils in estuarine area at Saemankum, Kunsan in southwestern Korea during from months of February to June 2006. Hourly averaged GHG soil emissions were measured two to three times a day during the ebb tide hours only. Site soils were analyzed for soil parameters (temperature, pH, total organic contents, N and C contents in soil) in the laboratory. Soil GHG fluxes were calculated based on the GHG concentration rate of change measured inside a closed chamber The analysis of GHG was conducted by using a Gas Chromatography (equipped with ECD/FID) at laboratory. Changes of daily, monthly GHGs' fluxes were examined. The relationships between the GHG emissions and soil chemical contents were also scrutinized with respect to gas production and consumption mechanism in the soil. Soil pH was pH $7.47{\pm}0.49$ in average over the experimental period. Organic matter contents in sample soil was $6.64{\pm}4.98\;g/kg$, and it shows relatively lower contents than those in agricultural soils in Kunsan area. Resulting from the soil chemistry data, soil nitrogen contents seem to affect GHG emission from the tidal land surface. The tidal soil was found to be either source or sink for the major GHG during the experimental periods. The annual average of $CH_{4}\;and\;CO_{2}$ fluxes were $0.13{\pm}0.86\;mg\;m^{-2}h^{-1}\;and\;5.83{\pm}138.73\;mg\;m^{-2}h^{-1}$, respectively, which will be as a source of these gases. However, $N_{2}O$ emission showed in negative flux, and the value was $-0.02{\pm}0.66\;mg\;m^{-2}h^{-1}$, and it implies tidal land surface act as a sink of $N_{2}O$. Over the experimental period, the absolute values of gas fluxes increased with soil temperature in general. Averages of the ambient gas concentration were $86.8{\pm}6.\;ppm$ in $CO_{2},\;1.63{\pm}0.34\;ppm\;in\;CH_{4},\;and\;0.59{\pm}0.15\;ppm\;in\;N_{2}O$, respectively. Generally, under the presence of gas emission from agricultural soils, decrease of gas emission will be observed as increase in ambient gas concentration. We, however, could not found significant correlation between the ambient concentrations and their emissions over the experimental period. There was no GHG compensation points existed in tide flat soil.

Restoration is the process of reducing or reversing damage to an ecosystem so that it can function in its original manner. However, many restoration programs do not achieve this. In the Nakdong Estuary, the largest migratory nesting site in the center of the East Asian-Australasian flyway, an estuarine barrage was constructed in the 1980s that required site restoration following its completion in 1987 and the expansion of several large industrial complexes(Noksan and Jangrim) and a residential development(Myeongji). The goal of the restoration was to restore the function of the wetland to its pre-disturbance state. To achieve this, a restoration program was designed consisting of three stages. The first stage(1993-1995), saw the construction of three artificial wetlands(Shinhori, Daemadeung, and Eulsuk), the second(2003-2005) involved the dredging and returning of farmed lands to their natural state, and the third(2008-2012) focused on the rehabilitation and vegetation development of the wetlands. However, the project has not achieved all of the desired goals, and it is an example of the lapses in ecological restoration following anthropogenic disturbance. Issues that resulted in an incomplete restoration included the timing of the stages, noncompliance with the restoration plan, not directly monitoring the restoration or continuing the monitoring following completion of the development project, and the political subversion of the restoration plan. For the success of the restoration plan, it is necessary to avoid mistakes such as inconsistent monitoring, unequal levels of stakeholder involvement, and political interference.

갈대(Phragmites communis Trin.)란 염분이 있는 곳에서 자라는 염생식물로서 우리나라 전역에 분포하고 있다. 지난 50년 동안 우리나라의 여러 습지에 걸쳐서 갈대는 우점종으로 자라왔고, 육지와 수중서식지에서 갈대의 확산범위는 증가하고 있다. 갈대의 확산은 다른 습지 식물의 서식지를 파괴하고, 갈대가 번식하면 동 식물들의 번식 자체가 어려울 뿐 아니라 갈대숲에 포식자가 늘어나 살아가기 어려운 환경으로 변하기때문에 갈대를 체계적으로 관리할 수 있는 방안이 마련되어야 한다. 본 연구는 우점종이 다른 두 습지에서 갈대군집의 성장률을 관찰하고, 토양의 화학적 분석과 식물의 생리적 분석을 통해 갈대군집 성장에 미치는 영양염류의 영향을 규명하였다. 연구 대상지는 한강하구에 위치한 장항습지와 성동습지로서 동일하게 갈대가 분포하며, 장항습지에는 줄 군락이 성동습지에는 새섬매자기 군락이 우점하고 있다. 분석 항목은 이화학적 항목을 비롯하여 용존유기탄소(DOC, dissolved organic carbon), 체외미생물효소활성도(Extracellular enzyme activities), 암모니아성 질소($NH_4^+$), 질산성 질소($NO_3^-$)을 분석하였다. 실험결과, 두 습지 갈대의 성장은 7월부터 9월에 증가하였고 성동습지의 토양성분이 점토질로 형성되어 높은 수분함량과 유기물함량을 유지하고 있기 때문에 갈대의 밀도가 높고 성장률이 활발한 것으로 나타났다. 또한 미생물활성과 환경인자간 양의 상관관계를 보아 환경인자들이 미생물 활성을 자극하고 미생물들은 식물의 성장을 촉진하여 영향을 주며, 반면 식물 뿌리는 enzyme을 생성하는 미생물에게 C 삼출물을 공급해 enzyme 활성에 영향을 미칠 것으로 사료된다.
