하천 본류와 구하도 사이의 횡적 연결성은 하천-홍수터 생태계에서 생태적 기능을 유지하는데 매우 중요하다. 본 연구는 2차원 평균수심 유한요소 모형인 River2D를 사용하여 만경강에서 직강화로 인해 격리된 구하도의 연결성을 가상으로 복원하고 평수기와 홍수기 조건에서 어류 서식처 변화를 평가하였다. 평가 대상 어종은 정수성 어종인 붕어 (Carassius auratus)와 유수성 어종인 피라미 (Zacco platypus)를 선정하였다. 물리서식처모의 결과에 의하면, 연결성 복원 전후의 붕어와 피라미의 가중가용면적 (weighted usable area, WUA)은 복원 후에 증가하였으며 양방향 복원이 일방향 복원보다 어류 서식처 복원에 효과적이었다. 또한 가중가용면적의 증가율은 평수기보다 홍수기에 더 높았다. 특히 피라미의 경우 홍수기에 구하도의 연결성이 양방향 복원되었을때 구하도 내의 가중가용면적이 복원 전 대비 약 4배로 크게 증가할 것으로 예측되었다. 본 연구 결과 만경강에서 본류와 구하도의 연결성이 복원되었을 때 정수성 어류와 유수성 어류의 서식처가 모두 증가할 것으로 예상되며, 일방향 복원보다 양방향 복원이 더 효과적인 것으로 나타났다. 또한 복원된 구하도는 홍수기 때 어류의 피난처 역할을 할 것으로 기대되었다.

세종보 수문개방을 통하여 하도내에 다양한 모래톱이 만들어지면서 모래톱의 생태계 가치와 기능에 대한 연구 필요성이 증가하고 있다. 본 연구는 세종보 수문개방 전·후의 하도 내 지형 변화를 생태지형학적으로 분석하여 서식처의 관점에서 보 개방 효과를 규명하고자 하였다. 이를 위해 고해상도 항공사진의 공간분석을 수행하여, 수역과 육역을 17개 서식처 유형으로 분류하여 서식처다양도 지도를 작성하고 서식처다양도 지수를 산정하였다. 연구결과, 보 상류는 개방 전 저수지였던 깊은 정수성 서식처에서, 개방 후에는 여울과 소, 평여울, 완여울 등 유수성 서식처가 증가하고 얕은 정수성 서식처가 나타나는 등 수중 서식처의 유형이 다양해지고 복잡해졌다. 보 하류에서도 모래톱이 확장되면서 식생이 정착되지 않은 나지형 사주가 나타나고, 유수성 서식처가 증가하였다. 이러한 변화들을 종합하면 보 개방후 서식처다양도 지수가 크게 향상되는 것을 실증적으로 규명하였다. 앞으로 이러한 연구를 기반으로 모래톱의 생태계 가치를 하천관리와 복원에 적용할 수 있는 응용생태 분야의 연구기술 개발이 더욱 요구된다.

This study compares the abundance and community structure of zooplankton organisms from the littoral and pelagic regions, and considers particularly trophic levels vs. zooplankton abundances. Zooplankton samples, collected every 3 months over a year from 2010 to 2011 at 29 temperate lakes and reservoirs, which belong to two different river basins (Youngsan and Seomjin River). The spatial pattern of rotifers was similar to that of total zooplankton abundance. This reflected the fact that rotifers strongly dominated the zooplankton community. There were considerable spatial variations in total zooplankton abundance (ANOVA, p<0.01), while there were no significant differences both in littoral and pelagic regions in abundance of zooplankton (ANOVA, p=0.205). The mean abundance of zooplankton in eutrophic systems was much higher than that of mesotrophic systems, while significant difference in number of species and diversity index were not shown in both trophic systems.

Compact Airborne Spectrographic Imager (CASI) hyperspectral imagery was acquired over the Little Miami River Watershed (1756 square miles) in Ohio, U.S.A., which is one of the largest hyperspectral image acquisition. For the development of a 4m-resolution land cover dataset, a hierarchical approach was employed using two different classification algorithms: 'Image Object Segmentation' for level-1 and 'Spectral Angle Mapper' for level-2. This classification scheme was developed to overcome the spectral inseparability of urban and rural features and to deal with radiometric distortions due to cross-track illumination. The land cover class members were lentic, lotic, forest, corn, soybean, wheat, dry herbaceous, grass, urban barren, rural barren, urban/built, and unclassified. The final phase of processing was completed after an extensive Quality Assurance and Quality Control (QA/QC) phase. With respect to the eleven land cover class members, the overall accuracy with a total of 902 reference points was 83.9% at 4m resolution. The dataset is available for public research, and applications of this product will represent an improvement over more commonly utilized data of coarser spatial resolution such as National Land Cover Data (NLCD).

Freshwater benthic macroinvertebrates were investigated from five sampling sites on Jindo Island located in the southwestern end of the Korean Peninsula. A total of 47 species (average $14{\pm}3.16$ species per site, 40 species in lotic area, and 13 species in lentic area) belonging to 38 families, 14 orders, 5 classes, and 3 phyla were sampled. Coleoptera, Diptera, Ephemeroptera, and Trichoptera were the major groups of benthic macroinvertebrates with relatively high species richness. Species diversity indices (H') and richness indices (RI) of upper streams were relatively higher than those of lower streams, which were affected by agricultural effluent from the paddy fields.

Declines in amphibian populations are occurring worldwide, and have been attributed to many factors, including anthropogenic environmental changes. One of the ramifications of such declines is abnormalities in many amphibian species. A strong association has been detected between human activities and abnormalities in amphibian populations, but studies on this association are largely focused on lentic species. In this study, it was analyzed whether the degree of local human activity was associated with the rate of abnormalities in Bombina orientalis which inhabited lotic environments. We found that the proportions of abnormalities in wild populations of B. orientalis increased, when i) the closest human land use was located within 100 m from the frogs' habitat, and ii) the proportion of human land use within a 300-m radius was high. Our findings suggest that human activity has a negative impact on the fitness of nearby amphibian populations, and that wild populations very close to human-induced disturbance are affected.

This study identified the effect of changes in the riverbed on the benthic macroinvertebrate communities. The benthic macroinvertebrates collected from the surveyed sites belonged to 119 species, 65 families, 20 orders, and 7 classes in 4 phyla. The number of Ephemeroptera, Plecoptera, and Trichoptera (E.P.T) species was 42, 10, and 8, respectively, in the tributary, confluence, and Nakdong River sites. Lotic species (Hydropsychidae) showed a high density at the tributary sites, whereas lentic species (Chironomidae) showed a high density at the confluence and Nakdong River sites. Community analysis showed that the Dominance Index (DI) was 0.54 in tributary sites, and dominance indices increased closer to the Nakdong River sites. The diversity index (H') was inversely proportional to DI. The ratio of Burrowers species (BU) at the surveyed sites increased closer to the Nakdong River sites. Analysis of common species showed 37 species (34.6%) between the tributary and confluence sites and 66 species (51.5%) between the confluence and Nakdong River sites.

참갈겨니 NE와 NS형의 서식범위 내에서 두 형이 공서하는 지점을 조사한 결과 낙동강과 섬진강의 각 지류의 상류지점, 남해로 흐르는 일부 하천에서 발견되었다. 두 형이 공서하는 하천에서의 분포양상은 NE형은 상류 지역에 NS형은 중류 지역에 치우치는 경향을 보였다. 중간 지역에서는 같은 지점에서 동시에 출현하였으나, NE형은 여울에 NS형은 웅덩이 또는 흐름이 느린 곳에서 주로 서식하는 서식처 분리현상을 나타내었다. 유속과 출현개체수의 관계는 공서지에서는 유속의 증가에 따라 NE형은 개체수가 증가하는 반면 NS형은 감소하는 경향을 보였으나, 각각 단독으로 존재하는 곳에서는 그러한 경향이 나타나지 않았다.

Settling velocity is one of major parameters determining algal biomass in water quality modeling. In this study, the settling velocity of phytoplankton was measured in reservoir and stream sites of the Nakdong River, Korea. Settling velocities of various phytoplankton species were determined by measuring algal cell biomass settled in a sedimentation cylinder. Mean settling velocities were $0.22m\;day^{-1}$ in reservoir sites and $0.33m\;day^{-1}$ in stream sites, which were relatively higher compared with other default values suggested by water quality models (e.g. $0.1m\;day^{-1}$ in CE-QUAL-W2). The lower settling velocity in reservoirs than in stream implies the adaptation of phytoplakton to low turbulence in lentic environments. Cyanobacteria showed lower settling velocity ($0.2m\;day^{-1}$) than diatoms ($0.3m\;day^{-1}$), and this phenomenon may have resulted from buoyancy mechanisms of cyanobacteria. Cell volume did not show a significant correlation with settling velocity in this study, implying that conformation factors of colonies or other factors had large effects on settling velocity of algal cells as well as cell size. The result of this study may suggest proper coefficients of settling velocity of phytoplankton in the calibration of water quality model.

We compared spatial and temporal variations of water chemistry between high-flow year ($HF_y$) and low-flow year ($LF_y$) in an artificial lentic ecosystem of Daechung Reservoir. The differences in the rainfall distributions explained the variation of the annual inflow and determined flow characteristics and water residence time and modified chemical and biological conditions, based on TP, suspended solids, and chlorophylla, resulting in changes of ecological functions. The intense rainfall and inflow from the watershed resulted in partial disruption of thermal structure in the metalimnion depth, ionic dilution, high TP, and high suspended solids. This condition produced a reduced chlorophyll-a in the headwaters due to low light availability and rapid flushing. In contrast, reduced inflow and low rainfall by drought resulted in strong thermal difference between the epilimnion and hypolimnion, low inorganic solids, high total dissolved solids, and low phosphorus in the ambient water. The riverine conditions dominated the hydrology in the monsoon of $HF_y$ and lacustrine conditions dominated in the $HF_y$. Overall data suggest that effective managements of the flow from the watershed may have an important role in the eutrophication processes.
