  • This study is to investigate the conditions closely related to the establishment of vegetation in the riparian zone: the soil condition, an important factor along with climate and light. Especially, the soil structure of the microtopographical formations in the specific area known as the riparian microtopographical zone investigated. In addition, the effect of the riparian microtopographical features on the ground water level, soil moisture content, and vegetation was studied. The results of this study are as follows; 1) At all sample sites, below the sand layer, a gravel layer is always present. This is the result of past floods. 2) Although Salix koreensis experiences frequent disturbances such as increase in river level and floods, this vegetation establishes itself in the most secure are in the microtopographical zone. 3) The growth of Phragmites japonica is closely related to the underground water level. 4) It is clear that Miscanthus sacchariflorus grows concentrated in dry areas. 5) The soil accumulation conditions differ according to the soil moisture content of each microtopgraphical feature. Accordingly, the moisture content of the soil is clearly different within the microtopographical zone. The continuous and long-term investigation and research on the relation of riparian reproduction and the relevance with location surrounding factors are necessary in the future.

  • 본 연구는 하반식생이 일정 지역에 정착할 때 밀접하게 관여하는 토양환경에 주목하였으며, 특히 하반 미지형 이라는 특수 지역에서 생각할수 있는 미지형 형성의 토양구조와 하반미지형이 식물에 미치는 토양수분, 그리고 식생과의 관계에 대하여 검토하였다. 그결과 각 미지형마다 그 퇴적상태가 다르며 이에따라 하반식생도 달리 나타났다. 또한 모두 조사구에 서 모래층 밑에는 반드시 자갈층의 단계를 반복하고 있는데 이는 반복된 과거의 홍수에 의한 것으로 판단된다. 따라서 미지형을 고려한 식생을 도입하여야 하며, 토양수분과 지라수위와 식생과의 관계는 하천마다 다르므로 현지 지형에 맞는 식생 도입이 요구된다. 앞으로 보다 지속적, 장기적 현장조사와 하천 수문, 수리학적 data의 축정에 따른 하반식생과 입지환경요인과의 관련성에 관한 연구의 축적이 필요하며, 이에 기초한 식생호안공법의 개발이 향후과제라 할 수 있다.

  • This study investigates the relation between the location of a habitat and the ecological connections according to the habitat type in the riparian zone at the Bokha stream. Stream habitat is classified into nine types for the aquatic insects and fish. For vegetation and birds, habitat is classified into five types of medium-scale streams, including both physical and chemical streams are analyzed accordingly. The major results of this study are as follows: 1) A pool connected to the main stream has a certain water depth (about 80 cm) and is disturbed at least 5 to 6 times a year. Although the pool has a somewhat bad water quality, it provides a habitat for various types of young fish. 2) A meander riffle is about 15 cm deep, the flow velocity in the region is about 75 cm/s. This region does not have large structures to which aquatic insects can attach, so it cannot be used as a spawning ground. 3) A rock type pool is about 60 cm deep, the flow velocity in the meander riffle is about 25 cm/s. In this region, many aquatic insects attached to large structures appear. Due to various riparian vegetation, the rock type pool is used as a habitat for aquatic insects. 4) A pool which is only connected to the main stream during floods has a bad water quality. Despite of its relatively small size, it has a high population density of aquatic insects. faculty.
