In this study, we examined the contribution of nitrogen oxides and volatile organic compounds emitted from China and Japan to ozone concentrations over Gwangyang-bay, South Korea. We used a chemical transport model, Community Multi-scale Air Quality model, and its instrumented sensitivity tool, High-order Decoupled Direct Method. Intercontinental Chemical Transport Experiment-Phase B 2006 for East Asia and Clean Air Policy Support System 2007 emissions inventories for South Korea were used for the ozone simulation. During the study period, May 2007, the modeled maximum daily 8-hr average ozone concentration among seven air quality monitors in Gwangyang-bay was 68.8 ppb. The contribution of $NO_x$ emissions from China was 19.5 ppb (28%). The highest modeled ozone concentrations and Chinese contributions appeared when air parcels were originated from Shanghai area. The observed 8-hr average ozone concentrations in Gwangyang Bay exceeded the national ambient air quality standard (60 ppb) 203 times by daytime and 56 times by nighttime during the period. It was noticed that many exeedances happened when contribution of Chinese emissions to ozone concentrations over the area increased. Sensitivity analysis shows that a reduction in Chinese $NO_x$ and VOC emissions by 15% could lessen the total exceedance hours by 24%. This result indicates that high ozone concentrations over Gwangyang-bay are strongly enhanced by Chinese emissions.

The seasonal variation and vertical distribution of the marine algal community were investigated using the quadrat method from February 2006 to January 2007 at 10 sites in Gwangyang Bay, Korea. In total, 48 red, 17 brown, and 13 green algal taxa were identified. The algal vertical distribution in the intertidal zone was characterized by Ulva pertusa, while the upper tidal zone was dominated by Gelidium divaricatum. The middle zone was primarily composed of Enteromorpha linza, Sargassum thunbergii, and Chondracanthus intermedia, whereas Hizikia fusiformis, Sargassum thunbergii, Gelidium amansii, and Corallina pilulifera characterized the low tidal zone. Results of cluster analysis indicated that algal composition fell into two groups, which were composed of species in the inland and open sea. In conclusion, the number of species, diversity, and abundance of vegetation in this area were remarkably reduced compared to previous studies in Gwangyang Bay.

To estimate the effects of limitation nutrients for phytoplankton growth and its influences on short-term variations of a winter phytoplankton community structure, we investigated the abiotic and biotic factors of surface and bottom waters at 20 stations of inner and offshore areas from 6 to 7 February in Gwangyang Bay, Korea. Also, several algal bio-assay studies were conducted to identify any additional nutrient effects on phytoplankton assemblage using surface water for the assay. The dominant species in the bay was diatom Skeletonema costatum, which occupied more than 70% of total species in most stations (St.1-16) of the inner bay. According to a cluster and multidimensional scaling (MDS) analysis based on phytoplankton community data from each station, the bay was divided into three groups. The first group included stations from the south-western parts of Myodo lsland, which can be characterized as a semien-closed eutrophic area with high phytoplankton abundance. The second group included most stations from the north-eastern part of Myodo lsland, influenced indirectly by surface water currents from offshore of the bay. The standing phytoplankton crops were lower than those of the first group. The other cluster was restricted to samples collected from offshore of the bay. In the bay, silicon (Si) and phosphorus (P) were not a major limiting factor for phytoplankton production. However, since the DIN: DIP and DSi: DIN ratios clearly demonstrated that there were potential stoichiometric N limitations, nitrogen (N) was considered as a limiting factor. Based on the algal bio-assay, in vivo fluorescence values in N (+) added experiments were higher compared to control and P added experiments. Our results suggested that nitrogen may act as one of the most important factors in controlling primary production during winter in Gwangyang Bay.

수심도, 표층퇴적물. 그리고 탄성파 자료들을 이용하여 광양만의 최근 지형변화와 후기 제4기 퇴적층의 발달양상을 연구하였다. 최근 30년 동안 광양만의 해안선은 산업기지 건설을 위한 해안지역 매립으로 급격히 변하였으며 광양만 면적은 현재 25％정도 줄어들었다. 그리고 광양만내 항로지역의 해저퇴적물 준설로 인해 해저지형이 변화하였다. 표층퇴적물은 광양만 서측지역에 뻘질퇴적물이 분포하는 반면, 모래질뻘 퇴적물은 동측지역에 분포한다. 탄성파 단면도상에서 광양만의 퇴적층은 기반암위에 2개의 퇴적층서, Unit I과 II로 구성되며, 이들 퇴적층서는 중간반사면(reflector-M)에 의해 부정합적으로 경계된다. 하부의 Unit II층서는 광양만의 수로지역에 집중 분포하며, 저해수면 동안 쌓인 하천기원 퇴적층으로 해석된다. 상부 Unit I층서는 섬진강하구에서 여수해협을 향해 전진하는 퇴적양상을 보인다. 이 층은 빙기 이후 흘로세 고해수준 동안 섬진강에서 유출된 퇴적물이 델타환경을 이루면서 형성된 퇴적층서로 해석된다. 특히 천부가스층이 퇴적층내에 광범위하게 분포하며, 일부지역에서는 준설로 인해 해저면에 노출된다.

In order to elucidate the mechanisms affecting plant distributions in the reclaimed dredging area in the Gwangyang steelworks, in the Gwangyang Bay, Korea, we examined soil characteristics and plant distributions in four study sites and a control site in the study area. Desalination occurring along a gradient with increasing elevation, resulting in decrease of soil pH, EC, P, K, Cl, Ca, Mg, and salt and an increase in soil T-N, silt, clay contents. From site 1 (the lowest-elevation site) to site 5 (the highest-elevation site), halophytes decreased in abundance and nonhalophytes increased. The dominant species in each site were: Phragmites communis, Limonium tetragonum, and 12 additional species at site 1, Carex pumila, Suaeda japonica, and 15 additional species at site 2, Spergularia marina, Scirpus planiculmis, and 22 additional species at site 3, Miscantus sinensis, Lespedeza bicolor, and 26 additional species at site 4 and Pinus thunberii, Rhododendron mucronulatum, and 39 additional species at site 5, which resembled a naturally-occurring P. thinbergii community. Cluster analysis of the vegetation data matrix grouped the 35 plots into 5 major groups, and cluster analysis using the soil environment data matrix revealed 4 major groups. CCA of the floristic and environmental data matrix showed a positive relationship of SAR, EC, Na, Cl, and Ca, which are related to salt, in the $1^{st}$ axis and $2^{nd}$ axis, but negative relationships for altitude, organic contents, silt, and clay contents. Notably, plant species in the reclaimed dredging area that were separated along the $1^{st}$ axis showed strong relationships with factors that related to salt. Long-term exposure to natural rainfall in the reclaimed dredging area changed the soil characteristics, such as salinity. This change in soil characteristics might alter the SAR, which affects plant survival strategies in a given habitat. These results strongly indicated that factors related to salt and elevation play important roles in determining the overall plant distribution in the reclaimed dredging area.

본 연구는 우리나라 해안단구의 형성과정을 종합적으로 해석하기 위해, 연구가 거의 드문 남해안의 중앙부에 위치한 광양만 일대 해안을 대상으로, 해안단구의 분포, 퇴적층의 층서 및 퇴적물의 이화학적 특성을 밝히고, OSL 절대연대 자료를 기초로 해안단구의 형성시기를 추정하였다. 해안단구 퇴적물을 포함하여 광양만에 분포하는 다양한 지형 구성물질의 이화학적 특성을 분석한 결과, 지형 사이의 뚜렷한 차이가 나타나지 않았는데, 이는 광양만의 지형적 폐쇄성에 기인한 구성물질의 재순환 및 혼합의 결과로 판단된다. 광양만 일대 해안에는 규모가 작은 3단 이거 해안단구면이 발견된다. 고도가 가장 낮은 1면은 해발고도 $10{\sim}13m$에 분포하며, OSL 연대측정 및 퇴적물의 특성으로 보아, MIS 5a 시기에 형성된 것으로 판단된다. 광양만 일대의 융기율은 0.141m/ka로 계산되며, 이를 적용하면, 해안단구 2면(18-22m)은 MIS 5e, 3면($27{\sim}32m$)은 MIS 7시기의 후반에 형성된 것으로 추정된다. 따라서 신생대 플라이스토세 후반 우리나라 동해안과 남해안에서 지반 융기 및 해안단구의 발달 과정은 거의 유사했던 것으로 판단된다.
