In recent years, the drying of the water spider habitat has been progressing rapidly. This is the primary cause of extreme climatic events in 2014/2015 with overall reduction in annual precipitation, but impermeable clayey layer formed in the superficial formation also plays an important role. The clayey layer is a critical factor in the formation of wetlands on a well-drained lava plateau, but paradoxically, it restricts the connection with ground water, increasing the instability of the water balance and making it precipitation-dependent structure. In addition, construction of roads/drainways has also caused drying of wetlands by blocking or rapidly spilling surface water/sheet flow. Therefore, to keep the wetlands sustainable, it should increase the flow into the wetlands by removing the road/drainways and floodgates installed to reduce the outflow.

Ecological corridor is the facility to connect two habitats fragmented by roads, dam, housing and industrial area. Critics of faunal corridors have suggested that they are simply an untested application of unproved island biogeography theory. But, everyone agree that ecological corridor is important useful structural components that help animal movement in fragmented landscapes. There are 52 ecological corridors in Korea. We investigated 43 ecological corridors of these and recorded the size of corridor, planting species, management and growth condition. We compared planting species to nearby exiting vegetation species and structure. We found that there are no considerations for many aspects of planting, for example, planting species, structure, animal migration and behavior, surrounding vegetation etc. Expecially, It was ignored management of plants, difference of surrounding vegetation, lacks of diverse planting species and structure. We suggest planting the native species of tall tree, shrub and ground cover, edge planting for transitional space between road and natural habitat, planting for foraging and breeding of target animal, diverse layer vegetation, and open space of center for rapid animal dispersal.

The object of this study was to evaluate lotic ecosystem health using multiple eco-metric approaches such as water chemistry diagnosis, physical habitat health evaluations, and biological integrity modeling at 100 streams of four major watersheds. For the study, eight chemical water quality parameters such as nutrients (N, P) and organic material were measured and 11-metric models of Qualitative Habitat Evaluation Index (QHEI) and multiple eco-metric health assessment model (MEHA) were applied to the four major watershed. Nutrient analysis of nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) in all watersheds indicated a eutrophic state depending on the locations of sampling streams. Physical habitat health, based on the QHEI model, averaged 114 (range: 56 - 194), judging as a "good condition" by the criteria of Plafkin et al. (1989). In addition, primary (H1 - H4), secondary (H5 - H7), and tertiary habitat metric variables (H8 - H11) were analyzed in relation to the physical habitat degradations. The plots of tolerant species ($P_{TS}$) and sensitive species ($P_{SS}$) to water quality showed that the proportions of $P_{TS}$ had positive linear functions with nutrients, and that the $P_{SS}$ had inverse linear relations with the chemical variables. The model of eco-metric health assessment showed that mean MEHA was 20.4, indicating a fair condition. Overall, our data suggest that water chemistry, based on nutrients and organic matter, directly modified the trophic structures in relation to food chain in the aquatic ecosystems, and then these directly influenced the compositions of tolerance/sensitive species, resulting in degradations of overall ecological health.

유량증분방법론에 근거한 물리서식처 평가 모형은 생태유량 산정과 하천의 이수 및 환경 기능과 관련한 유량 산정을 지원하기 위한 의사결정수단으로 개발되었다. 물리서식처 평가 모형은 다양한 관련 학문의 이해, 복잡한 입력자료, 그리고 경험을 필요로 한다. 본 연구에서는 계획 단계에서 물리서식처 구조와 생태유량 규모를 개략적으로 추정할 수 있는 간편 물리서식처 모의 모형(SIMHAB)을 제시하였다. SIMHAB을 물리 및 생태자료가 있는 하천에 적용하고 모형의 적정성을 검토하였다. 제시된 모형은 현장자료와 PHABSIM 및 River2D와 같은 기존의 물리서식처 모형의 결과와 유사하나, 적은 입력자료를 필요로 한다. 따라서 SIMHAB은 물리서식처, 생태유량, 수자원 관리 등을 포함하는 하천복원 사업에 손쉽게 활용될 수 있을 것이다.

본 연구는 보가 다수 분포하고 있는 만경강을 대상으로 항공사진(1948, 1967, 1973, 1989, 2010)을 이용하여 서식처 유형을 분류하고, 시간에 따른 서식처 구조 변화를 설명하였다. 서식처 구조는 지형과 하도서식처 중 물이 있는 서식처로 구분되었으며, 지형은 나지, 식생부, 수면부, 경작지, 교란지로 분류하였으며, 하도서식처는 자연여울, 인공여울, 평여울, 머리완도, 꼬리완도, 중앙완도, 못, 첩수로로 구분하여 면적을 산출하여 백분율로 비교하였다. 1970년대 골재채취와 1980년대 보 설치로 인하여 나지는 소멸되고 수면부와 식생부는 급격히 증가함에 따라, 평여울은 급격하게 감소한 반면, 흐름이 다소 정체되어 습지와 유사한 중앙완도 서식처의 비율은 급격하게 증가하였다. 또한, 나지와 식생부 위에 존재하는 머리완도, 꼬리완도, 못과 같은 서식처는 보 설치 이후 사라지거나 일부만 남아있다. 본 연구는 생태적인 하천관리를 위한 기초자료로서 향후 교란에 따른 하천 환경의 잠재력을 파악하는데 기초자료로 이용할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

Sediment transport around artificial habitat which is induced by the change ol flow due to installation of the structure plays a role not only as a defect function of subsidence and burial but also bottom-environment control function. This study examined the characteristics of local scouring and deposition with sediment sizes, current velocities and installation direction of artificial habitat in flow field. Resultant subsidence and burial processes are investigated and discussed with Reynolds number. Together with sediment number and dimensionless time elapse, prediction formulas are established by combining these relationships. Bottom control function as cultivating effects is discussed with installation direction, and applicability of countermeasures is compared and stone pavement method is recommended.

This article analyzes the interdependency between nonrenewable marine sand resources and renewable fishery resources by the developed dynamic bioeconomic model. The developed bioeconomic model is applied to a case study of efficient sustainable management for marine sand mining, which adversely affects a valuable blue crab fishery and its habitat in Korea. The socially-efficient extraction plan for marine sand and the time-variant environmental external costs to society in terms of diminished harvest rate of blue crab are determined. To take into account long-term effects from destroyed fishery habitat, a Beverton-Holt age structure model is integrated into the bioeconomic model. The illustrative results reveal that the efficient sand extraction plan is dynamically constrained by the stock size of the blue crab fishery over time. Thus, the dynamic environmental external cost is more realistic resource policy option than the classical fixed external cost for determining socially optimal extraction plans. Additionally, the economic value of bottom habitat, which supports the on- and off-site commercial blue crab fishery is estimated. The empirical results are interpreted with emphasis on guidelines for management policy for marine sand mining.

The purpose of this paper is to create ecological values for urban rivers. For this, the paper looks into river bed structures and how nearby lands are used. This study was performed to set the specific sections for analysis through a field investigation of the infrastructure conditions, surrounding land use, and the inter habitat structure of Seongnaecheon(Stream). A total of 780 individuals from 31 species of wild birds appeared in Seongnaecheon(Stream). According to foraging guild's habitat, there were 9 species of water, 8 types of water edges, 5 types of crowns, 5 types of shrubs, 2 types of tree trunks, 2 types of birds of raptors, and 355 individuals of water, 243 shrubs, 90 crowns, 84 water edges and 5 raptors. Many water birds were observed at the site where the Seongnaecheon(Stream) sandy plains and wetland herbaceous area were developed and the open water was secured. Most of the forest birds appeared on levee slope connected with forest around and riverside with fewer facilities for use. The species diversity index of Shannon, the entire section of Seongnaecheon(Stream), was 2.2697 and the downstream ecological landscape conservation area of Seongnaecheon(Stream) was found to be useful as a habitat for wild birds in the city compared to other sections. Some sections of Seongnaecheon (Stream) had low species diversity index due to lack of green space and surrounding urbanization areas. In choosing target species, I researched the special features of the habitats and the habitation structure of wild birds in each zone. Regarding detailed plans, by classifying the breeding place & roosting site and the roosting site & shelter that took account of the inhabitation characteristics of the target species in different sections, this paper suggested the major plant species and multilayer planting structures. Moreover, this study proposed the development of habitats for water birds and forest birds along with the connection of the green network for improving the Eco-corridor linkage and inhabitation features in Seongnaecheon(Stream).

도로가 서식지 파편화를 초래하는 주요인이라고 널리 인식되고 있다. 이러한 도로에서 야생동물 이동통로는 격리된 서식지 사이의 연결성을 제공하는 가장 일반적인 해결방안 중의 하나이다. 본 연구에서는 인천시 징매이고개의 도로에 설치된 야생동물 생태통로에서 보전 가치와 생태적 효율성을 평가하고 적응관리를 위한 대책을 제안하기 위하여, 생태통로에서 소음 교란도, 식생 구조 및 야생동물의 이동과 서식에 대하여 조사하였다. 조사지인 징매이고개 생태통로에서는 도로 차량으로부터의 소음 교란이 적절하게 차단되지 않고 있었다. 생태통로 식생에서는 단풍잎돼지풀, 개망초, 칡, 찔레꽃 등과 같은 천이초기종이 번성하고 있었다. 그러므로 식생 천이를 촉진하고 동물 서식지 환경을 개선하기 위하여 효과적인 식생 관리가 필요할 것으로 생각된다. 생태통로에서 족적과 폐쇄회로 티비로 야생동물을 조사한 결과, 등줄쥐, 너구리, 두더지, 청솔모 등의 제한된 포유류가 이동통로로 이용하고 있었다. 결론적으로 징매이고개 생태통로는 현재 소음 간섭과 교란 식생의 번성으로 생물 이동통로로서의 적적한 기능을 할 수 없을 것으로 판단된다. 따라서 야생동물 이동통로로서 기능을 향상하기 위하여 동물 서식과 이동 환경을 개선하기 위한 적절한 대책이 요구된다.
