본 연구는 현재 강화도 남단 조간대의 마도요류(알락꼬리마도요 Numenius madagascariensis와 마도요 Numenius arquata) 서식지로서의 질을 평가하고자 환경수용능력(Carrying capacity)을 추정하였다. 저서무척추동물(칠게 Macrophthalmus japonicus)의 생물량 추산에 있어 토양 입도(Sediment grain size)의 공간 분포를 고려하였으며, GIS의 공간 분석 기법을 이용하였다. 추정 결과 2012년 봄철은 약 153일 동안 11,767개체가 이용할 수 있는 수준이었으며, 가을철은 약 122일 동안 16,275개체가 이용할 수 있는 수준이었다. 환경수용능력 대비 평균 도래 개체군의 차지 비율은 봄철 9.4%, 가을철 5.9%의 수준이었으며, 이는 분석 방법이 달라 직접 비교는 어려우나 1993-94년 선행 연구 대비 2.8-6.3% 수준이 감소한 수치였다. 과거에 비해 환경 수용 능력이 감소한 현재의 상황에서 향후 서식지 보전을 위한 지속적인 연구와 관리가 매우 시급하다고 판단되며, 나아가 향후 조간대의 다양한 서식지 특성을 반영한 공간 분석을 통해 더욱 정교한 예측이 필요하다.

한국 서해안의 특징적인 조간대 퇴적층의 종류로서 사립질 퇴적층(sandy deposit) 즉, 조간대 해빈층과 해안사구의 사질퇴적물의 분포를 구분할 수 있는데, 이번 연구는 충남 서산군 천리포의 사립질 퇴적층에 관한 표면 퇴적구조(bedform)로서의 메가 연흔(megaripple) 이동양식과 조직 매개변수(textural parameter)의 연구이다. 이 곳 천리포의 조간대 해빈층과 연속하여 발달한 해안 사구층의 조직 매개변수를 규명하므로서 조간대 환경과 해안 사구 환경을 각각의 환경적 단종(endmember)으로 구분될 수 있다는 결론이다.

The study had been carried out three times, from April 1987 for the purpose of analysis on the community structure and the distribution patterns of the Molluscan shells at the intertidal zone of Cheju Island. 1) The Molluscan shells collected and identified at all studied sites were composed of 3 classes, 10 orders, 23 families and 42 species.2) In all studied sites, individual numbers according to species were Nodilittorina exigua, Monodonta neritoides, Lunella coronata coreensis, Heminerita japonica in order. On the other hand, the dominant species of the rocky sits were N. exigua, M. neritoides and the rocky and silty-sand sites was Batillaris multiformis.3) In the vertical zonation, in the supralitorial zone, N. exigua was dominant species and the wpper-tidal zone, N. exigua, H. japonica and B. Multiformis were dominant species, but B. multiformis was dominant in the rocky and silty sand sites. In the middle tidal zone, M. neritodes, H. japonica, L. coronata coreensis were dominant and in the lower tidal zond, M. neritodes, L. coronata coreensis, Liolophura japonica were dominant.4)In the analysis on community of Molluscan shells, Chagwi, Pyoson an dAewol sites were more diverse than other sites in the species diversity and environmental inhibits were also favorable.5) Community similarities among the studied sites based on the similarities values were divided into two groups according to the difference of the ground: Hagwi, Chongdal and Sehwa sites group and the others sites group.

Characteristic changes in chlorophyll fluorescence from thalli of red alga, Porphyra, under high salt stress and during subsequent recovery were investigated, and the differences in the sensitivity to the stress among four species of Porphyra with different intertidal distributions were compared. By the treatment of NaCl with $9\%$ or higher concentrations, photochemical efficiency (Fv/Fm) decreased in a biphasic pattern: a rapid decrease was observed within 1­3 h and followed by a slow decline. The decrease of Fv/Fm was mainly due to the increase of Fo without significant increases of Fm. When the thalli treated with $15\%$ NaCl for 6 h were returned to natural sea water for recovery, the increase of Fv/Fm also showed a biphasic pattern: a rapid increase of Fv/Fm was observed within 2 h and followed by a slow increase. Differences in the sensitivity to salt stress among the four species could be found during recovery after the treatment of severe salt stress. After the treatment of $20\%$ NaCl for 6 h, Fv/Fm decreased below 0.3 in all of the four Porphyra species, and the species living in upper parts of the intertidal zone (P. suborbiculata and P. pseudolinearis) could recover better compared with the species in lower parts of the intertidal zone (P. seriata and P. yezoensis), during recovery for 24 h. The species collected from the coast of the South Sea seemed to be more tolerant than those in the East Sea.

Spatial patterns in the macrobenthic community structure in the inter- and subtidal zones in front of the Iwon Dike and environmental variables were examined in August 2001, In total, 156 macrobenthic species(123 intertidal species and 90 subtidal species) were recorded during this study, predominately polychaetes $(40{\%})$, bivalves $(22{\%})$, and crustaceans $(22{\%})$. Polychaetes made up less than $40{\%}$ of the intertidal communitr, but more than $50{\%}$ of the subtidal community. The mean density during this study was $1,456ind./m^{2}.$ Multivariate analysis (multidimensional scaling) revealed significant differences in community structure among four regions: near the Iwon dike (B1), the high and middle intertidal zone (B2), low intertidal zone (Al), and subtidal zone (A2). The number of species, total density, and diversity (H') varied significantly among the four regions. The distribution of macrobenthic community was affected by environmental variables, such as ${\%}$ silt/clay content, total sulfide, lose of ignition, and chemical oxygen demand. These environmental variables were negatively correlated with the dominant species (Nephtys polybranchia, Umbonium thomasi, and Scoloplos armiger) in the intertidal area, but positively correlated with the dominant species (Lumbrineris cruzensis, Notomastus latericeus, and Moerella sp.) in the subtidal area. Environmental variables $({\%}\;silt/clay content and total sulfide)$ were positively correlated with the dominant species (Heteromastus filiformis) in region Bl, but negatively correlated with the dominant species (Umbonium thomasi and Scoloplos koreanus) in region B2. Amphipods Urothoe spp. and Monoculodes koreanus were the dominant species in region Al. Umbonium thomasi, the dominant species in region B2, was not found in regions Bl or Al. We suggest that the inter-specific competition for territory and exposure to seawater may be important factors controlling the macrobenthic community structure in the inter- and subtidal zones in front of the Iwon Dike.

Temporal variations of seaweed biomass and coverage were seasonally examined at Ongdo in the Yellow Sea, Korea from August 2006 to April 2008. Average seaweed biomass was 245.79 g/$m^2$ in wet weight and coverage was 16.49% with seasonal variations from 13.97% in spring to 18.55% in autumn. Seaweeds were distributed across the shore gradient from the high intertidal to 10m depth in the subtidal zone. Biomass was always higher in the subtidal zone (310.24 g/$m^2$) than in the intertidal zone (181.35 g/$m^2$). Of total seaweed biomass, 76.52% (first year) and 80.32% (second year) occurred from the low intertidal zone, down to depth of 1 to 5m. Gelidium amansii had the highest importance value and biomass, and sub dominant species were Chondrus ocellatus and Chondria crassicaulis. Coarsely-branched seaweeds comprised the highest proportion of biomass (214.84 g/$m^2$, or 87.41% of the total biomss). Seasonal variations in algal biomass were largely explained by fluctuations in the biomass of coarsely-branched and thick-leathery forms. In conclusion, seaweed biomass of Ongdo shore was very low because of perennial G. amansii showing low biomass as compared to kelp or Sargassum spp. However, these results indicate Ongdo is good place to grow seaweeds because coarsely-branched form seaweeds including G. amansii are dominant at unpolluted and clean environment.

An intertidal marine benthic algal vegetation and vertical distribution at Kangnung and it’s vicinity, the eastern coast of Korea was investigated to clarify the community structure and vertical distribution by quadrat method. Marine algae identified from the area were 116 species; 15 green, 31 brown and 70 red algae. The dominant species were Ulva pertusa, Codium fragile, Undaria pinnatifida, Dictyota dichotoma, Gelidium amansii, Corallina pilulifera, Carpopeltis affinis, Grateloupia filicina, Pachymeniopsis elliptica and Chondrus ocellatus at study sites. The vertical distribution of intertidal marine algae was divided into three distinct zones. They were characterized by Porphyra tenera at the upper, Enteromorpha spp. and Ulva pertusa at the middle, and Sargassum thunbergii, Hizikia fusiformis and Pachymeniopsis elliptica at the lower zones, respectively. The vertical distribution of subtidal zone algae were characterized by Laminaria spp. at 15m depth and Kjellmaniella crassifolia at 15 to 25 m depths, whereas Agarum cribrosum was dominant at the lower zone than 25 m depth.

In order to investigate the topography and exposure duration of the Siheung tidal flat, tidal ranges and DEM constructed by remote sensing techniques were analyzed. A cross-sectional diagram of the intertidal area reveals that it is relatively flat in the upper zone and then abruptly plunges into the bottom of the main channel where elevations increase in an upstream direction. The waterline during the Highest Low Water (HLW) is drawn back to the bottom of the channel at the middle part of the tidal flat and is formed along the slant of the channel during the Lowest High Water (LHW). The intertidal zone is located between -410 cm and 510 cm in terms of elevation and its total area is $0.65km^2$. An area between the Highest High Water (HHW) and Lowest High Water (LHW), occupying about 80% of the total area, occupies $0.52km^2$ of total area and accounts for 56% of the exposure duration. The boundary of wetland protection area in the Siheung tidal flat did not exactly coincide with the intertidal regime and differs by more than 15%. This study, which precisely analyzed the tidal flat area, tidal environment, and topography, would be useful in making a conservation plan and in learning how to use a wetland protection area in a sustainable manner.
