The ecohydrologic characteristics according to planting in riparian zone for the riparian restoration are analyzed in this research. The ecohydrologic components due to land use change in riparian zone from existing land cover to planted area such as pasture and wildrye are simulated in the test basin with the integrated SWAT-MODFLOW model. After analysis of change of the hydrologic properties such as surface flow, lateral flow, transpiration and soil water in riparian zone, it is revealed that soil water is one of the key factors and planting of wildrye can increase soil water in riparian zone. The simulation performance of the SWAT-MODFLOW model is validated in this study and it is expected that this model can be used to evaluate various riparian restoration scenarios.

The growth conditions of planted trees, invasion of nuisance herbaceous species, competition between species, and effects of erosion control were monitored over five years in a riparian greenspace in Gapyeong County that was established through multilayered and grouped ecological planting. Of 156 trees planted in the upper and middle layers, 5.8% died. This tree death was attributed to poor drainage or aeration in the rooting zone from the clay-added root ball and too deep planting as well as a small-sized root ball and scanty fine roots. Of all the trees, 21.6% grew poorly due to transplant stress in the first year after planting, but they started to grow vigorously in the third year. This good growth was largely associated with soil improvement before planting, selection of appropriate tree species based on growth ground, and control of dryness and invasive climbing plants through surface mulching and multilayered/grouped planting. Mixed planting of fast-growing species as temporary trees was desirable for accelerating planting effect and increasing planting density. Thinning of fast-growing trees was required in the fifth year after planting to avoid considerable competition with target species. To reduce the invasion of herbaceous and climbing plants that oppress normal growth of planted trees, higher density planting of trees (crown opening of about 15%), woodchip mulching to a 10-cm depth, and edge planting 2 m wide were more effective than lower density planting (crown opening of 70%), no surface mulching, and no edge planting, respectively. This reduction effect was especially great during the first three years after planting. Nuisance herbaceous plants rarely invaded higher density planting with woodchip mulching over the five years. Higher density planting or woodchip mulching also showed much greater erosion control through rainfall interception and buffering than lower density planting with no mulching did. Based on these results, desirable planting and management strategies are suggested to improve the functions of riparian greenspaces.

본 연구는 낙동강수계 매수토지 생태복원지를 대상으로 2007년 복원 공사 직후부터 4년간의 식생구조 변화를 모니터링하고 식생 관리방안을 제시하고자 하였다. 연구대상지는 낙동강 수계 생태복원지 중 총 15개소($208,342m^2$)를 대상지로 하였고 조사는 2007년 11월, 2008년 9월, 2009년 10월, 2010년 9월에 각각 시행하였다. 식재종 및 개체수 변화 분석 결과 교목층은 당단풍나무, 상수리나무, 신나무, 갈참나무, 굴참나무 등은 비교적 개체수가 증가하거나 변화가 없었고 떡갈나무, 말채나무, 뽕나무, 쪽동백나무, 팥배나무는 100% 고사한 것으로 나타났다. 관목은 초본과 덩굴성 식물에 의한 피압으로 대부분 고사하였다. 식재밀도는 4년간 평균 28주/$100m^2$ ${\rightarrow}$ 20주/$100m^2$ ${\rightarrow}$ 16주/$100m^2$ ${\rightarrow}$ 16주/$100m^2$로 감소하였다. 생장량은 복원 공사 직후 이식에 따른 스트레스로 다소 감소하였으나 이후 활착이 이루어짐에 따라 안정화되는 경향을 나타내었다. 흉고단면적 변화는 2007년 복원직후에 $507.1cm^2/100m^2$이던 것이 2008년에 $301.8cm^2/100m^2$로 감소하였으며 이후에는 $324.9cm^2/100m^2$(2009년), $372.7cm^2/100m^2$(2010년)으로 다소 증가하는 경향을 나타내었다. 수변 생태복원지의 식재구조 개선을 위해서는 토양습도를 고려한 수종의 선정과 대상지 여건을 고려한 적정 식재구조의 차별화가 필요하였다.
