  • This study was conducted to understand the environmental and ecological function of habitat through evaluation of water environment, soil environment, vegetation characteristics, macro-invertebrate characteristics, and visual habits environment evaluation (SVAP) in Hongdong stream located in Hongseong-Gun, Chungnam Province, and hereafter to utilize the results for the habits reconstruction and improvement project. As the results of water quality analysis, BOD, COD, T-P was almost below the standard quality from upper stream to down stream. The construction of small reservoir, wetland and water purification facility, and the management of non-point pollution are proposed to improve these problems. The soil texture was sandy soil, which is unfitted with vegetation development. The construction of shallows and bogs, and induction of soil sedimentation and biotope formation are proposed to improve these problems. In the plant flora, total 90 kinds were observed with 81 species and nine varieties in total 36 families and 85 genera, and the naturalization rate was higher at down area than upper area. As the results of macro-invertebrate fauna survey, total 26 species and 297 individuals in 20 families and 22 genera were collected. Peltodytes sinensis, Chironomidae sp., and Culicidae sp., which are observed at polluted environment, were collected as dominant species. An appropriate vegetation management party idea is necessary, and it is done an idea in consideration of the soil and a physical characteristic. Visual habits environment evaluation (SVAP) result was mostly determined with below normal (Fair) grade. Pollution source interception, purification pond establishment, and various bog establishment are proposed to improve these problems. With the above results, the ecological environment was determined with bad condition, and the improvement of biotope was urgently needed through sustainable monitoring and management of streams habitat in rural area.

  • Biodiversity is closely related to the conservation of ecosystems. Ecosystems provide more subtle, but equally essential, services. Microorganisms decompose human's waste and renew the soils that produce our food crops. Biodiversity in Korean paddies encompass 54 families and 107 species of freshwater invertebrates. In terms of the number of aquatic insects affected by different sources, the order starting with the highest population was swine slurry > chemical fertilizer > fresh straw with reduced fertilizers > control. The number of freshwater invertebrate and aquatic macro-invertebrate in surface water of the plots without insecticidal application were 2 and 2.1 times greater than in fields receiving insecticide applications, respectively. The soil microfungal flora of the 85 isolates paddy fields in Korea was 30 species in 13 genera and 11 isolates were unidentified yet. Agricultural policy should be changed to assist the conservation of biodiversity because until now the agricultural ecosystems have been negatively affected from the development of high-yield varieties to enhance food production, and the expansion of fertilizer and chemical use. For the conservation of agricultural ecosystems, agricultural practices with less investment and more resource saving, as well as enhancing the safety of agricultural and livestock products are essential. Finally, this paper was written for the contribution for the development of environmentally friendly farming systems with neighboring or whole ecosystems.

  • Benthic macro invertebrate communities were collected at six different sampling sites in the Musucheon stream in Korea from July 2006 to July 2007, and ecological exergy values were calculated based on five different functional feeding groups (collector-gatherer, collector-filterer, predator, scrapper, and shredder) of benthic macro invertebrates. Each sampling site was categorized to three stream types (perennial, intermittent and drought) based on the water flow condition. Exergy values were low at all study sites right after a heavy rain and relatively higher in the perennial stream type than in the intermittent or the drought stream type. Self-Organizing Map (SOM), unsupervised artificial neural network, was implemented to pattern spatial and temporal dynamics of ecological exergy of the study sites. SOM classified samples into four clusters. The classification reflected the effects of floods and droughts on benthic macroinvertebrate communities, and was mainly related with the stream types of the sampling sites. Exergy values of each functional feeding group also responded differently according to the different stream types. Finally, the results showed that exergy is an effective ecological indicator, and patterning changes of exergy using SOM is an effective way to evaluate target ecosystems.

  • 황해 대청도 옥죽포의 모래갯벌에 서식하는 대형저서동물의 대상분포 양상을 파악하기 위해 1998년 6월 24일에 1개의 조사지선을 설정하여 10개의 정점에서 조사를 실시하였다. 퇴적물의 평균 입도 범위는 1.97${\sim}$2.23${\phi}$였으며, 유기물 함량은 0.52${\sim}$1.02% 사이의 값을 나타내었다. 조사 결과 총 25종의 저서동물이 채집되었으며, 채집된 저서동물의 총 개체수와 생체량은 각각 10,705개체, 89.13 gWWt였다. 본 연구 지역에서 가장 우점한 분류군은 미소갑각류에 속하는 단각류와 등각류였으며, 주요 우점종으로 Eohaustorius setulosus(33%), Excirolana chiltoni(26%), Haustorioides koreanus(12%), Platorchestia crassicornis(8%), Cycladicama cumingii(6%) 등이 출현하였다. 이들 주요 우점종들의 대상분포 양상은 Dahl(1952)과 Jo(1990)의 연구 결과와 매우 유사하였으며 다음과 같이 3층의 대상분포 양상이 뚜렷하게 나타났다: (1) 상부의 Platorchestia crassicornis, (2) 중부의 Excirolana chiltoni, (3) 하부의 haustoriid - dogielinotid - urothoid - oedicerotid로 구성되는 단각류 군집.

  • 계류에서 보가 저서성 대형무척추동물 군집에 미치는 효과를 확인하기 위해 도림천 상류에서 계단식 구간(100m 당 3.02개의 보)과 비계단식 구간(100m 당 0.96개의 보)을 나누어 저서성 대형무척추동물을 정성, 정량 조사하였다. 평균 유속은 계단식 구간(0.043m/s) 보다 비계단식 구간(0.149m/s)에서 더 빨랐다. 정수역을 선호하는 파리목(Diptera)는 비계단식 구간(32%)보다 계단식 구간(78.3%)에서 더 많이 출현하였다(p<.05). 유수역을 선호하는 하루살이목(Ephemeroptera)는 계단식 구간(4.5%)보다 비계단식 구간(14.1%)에서 더 풍부하게 출현하였다(p=.203). 날도래목(Trichoptera)는 종에 따라 출현하는 빈도가 다르게 나타났다. 주워먹는 무리(gathering-collector)비계단식 구간보다 계단식 구간에서 1.8배나 많이 출현하였다(p<.05). 반면 걸러 먹는 무리(filtering-collector)는 계단식 구간에서 약 4.4배 더 많이 출현하였다(p=.124). 균등도 지수(J')는 계단식 구간과 비계단식 구간에서 각각 0.41과 0.77로 나타났다. 수환경을 평가하는 데 이용되는 한국오수생물지수 KSI는 계단식 구간과 비계단식 구간에서 각각 4.0과 2.4이었다. 군집의 균형성을 나타내는 EPT/C 지수는 계단식 구간과 비계단식 구간에서 각각 0.1과 0.7으로 나타났다. 본 연구는 저서성 대형무척추동물의 다양성을 유지하기 위해서는 소형보를 계류에 설치할 것을 제안한다.

  • Seasonal monitoring was implemented to understand the influence of macrophyte bed structure on the composition and trophic interaction of aquatic organisms (algae, zooplankton, macro-invertebrate, and fish) in a shallow wetland (Upo Wetland, South Korea). Distinct division of the plant assemblage (reed zone and mixed plant zone) was observed. The reed zone was composed solely of Phragmites communis, whereas the mixed plant zone comprised a diverse macrophyte assemblage (Salvinia natans, Spirodela polyrhiza, Trapa japonica, Ceratophyllum demersum, and Hydrilla verticillata). Most of the aquatic organisms were more abundant in the mixed plant zone than in the reed zone, and this was positively associated with the seasonal development of macrophyte cover. Stable isotope analysis showed seasonal interactions among aquatic organisms. The majority of aquatic animal (zooplankton, Odonata, and Ephemeroptera) were dependent on epiphytic particulate organic matter (EPOM), and the dependence on EPOM gradually increased toward autumn. Interestingly, Lepomis macrochirus consumed Ephemeroptera and zooplankton in both macrophyte zones, but Micropterus salmoides depended on different food items in the reed zone and the mixed plant zone. Although, M. salmoides in the reed zone showed food utilization similar to L. macrochirus, it consumed Odonata or small L. macrochirus in the mixed plant zone. Based on these results, it appears that differences in the structure of the two macrophyte zones support different assemblages of aquatic organisms, strongly influencing the trophic interactions between the aquatic organisms.
