최근 생태계 서비스의 가치를 정량화하고, 경제적 보상을 통해 보전할 수 있도록 하는 생태계 서비스 직불제 (Payment for Ecosystem Services, PES)에 대한 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. PES를 정책에 반영시키는 것은 생태계 보전과 빈곤경감을 동시에 달성할 수 있는 방안으로 여겨지면서, 주로 개발도상국에서 적극적으로 도입하고 있다. 그 중, 베트남은 선구적으로 PES를 범국가적인 법 제정을 통해 시행하고 있으나, 공간적 정량화를 통한 광범위한 생태계 서비스 평가는 부족한 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 북부 베트남에서 수도 하노이를 흐르는 홍강(Red River)의 상류인 Da 강 유역을 중심으로 수문학적 생태계 서비스를 평가를 통해 우선보전산림을 설정하고자 하였다. 우선 평가를 위해 기본적인 최신의 토지피복지도를 구축하고자 Landsat영상을 통해 토지피복분류를 수행하였다. 그리고 이 지역의 수자원공급 및 토사 유실량 방지의 수문학적 생태계서비스를 평가하기 위해 물수지이론 및 USLE 공식을 도입하였으며, 이를 통해 도출된 서비스량을 산림지역에 한정하여 서비스공급 우위지역을 도출함으로써 우선보전 산림지역으로 설정하도록 제안하고자 하였다. 그 결과, 산림지역 내에서도 지형, 기후, 토지피복에 따라 생태계서비스공급량의 범위가 달라짐을 확인하였으며, 수문학적 생태계 서비스 공급우위지역은 푸롱산(Mt. Phu Luong), 판시판산(Mt.Fanxipan), 호앙리엔 국립공원(Hoang Lien National Park) 등으로 나타났다. 이 연구의 결과는 Da 강 유역에서 생태계 서비스 보전을 위한 우선 지역을 확인하는 것뿐만 아니라, 어느 지역의 토지소유주가 더 보상받아야 하는지를 판별하는데 이용함으로써 보상공유(Benefit Sharing) 달성에 기여할 수 있을 것이다.

최근 하천정비는 환경에 대한 인식이 높아지면서 이수 및 치수뿐만 아니라 하천환경에 대한 관심이 증가하는 쪽으로 바뀌어가고 있는 실정이다. 따라서, 하천환경 또는 하천복원이 하천사업의 핵심이 되고 있다. 우리나라의 경우, 대부분의 하천이 치수목적의 하천정비에 의해 홍수조절과 주운을 돕기 위해 직강화 되었다. 하도를 직강화 할 경우 안정성 유지가 중요하므로 하천을 따라 제방이 축조된다. 이와같이 이수와 치수를 목적으로 하천에 축조된 댐, 보, 제방 및 수문 등과 같은 구조물의 경우, 하천의 종 횡적 연결성(Connectivity)을 저해하는 요인이 된다. 연결성이란 어떤 서식처에서 다른 서식처로 에너지와 물질을 이동시키거나 자연적인 수로를 통하여 서식처 간을 물리적으로 연결하는 동적인 자연통로로써 장기적인 하천복원관점에서 볼 때 연결성 증대는 유역 내 건강한 생태계 조성을 위해 매우 중요하다. 본 연구에서는 횡적 연결성 회복을 통한 하천복원의 첫 번째 단계로써 연결성에 대한 기본개념을 설명하고 대상유역을 선정하여 연결성을 저해하는 격리, 차단 공간의 유무에 따른 유역 내 흐름양상의 변화를 수치모의 하였다. 본 연구의 결과는 유역 내 수리수문연결기술 개발로 이어질 수 있을 것으로 판단되며, 차후 하천복원사업에 기여할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

This study aims at establishing an ecological planning for road construction. which is considered to be a main cause of damage to the natural environment in Korea. This study focuses on the Pyungtak-Eumsung Highway development project. It considers the ecological factors and status of the site and its surrounding area. The study site is a four-way highway with a width of 23.4m and a length of 5.7km that spans from Hyungok-ri, Anseong City, Kyeonggi Province to Jukhyun-ri, Jincheon-gun, Chungbuk Province. The objective of the plan is "the establishment of an eco-road in harmony with nature." The plan is divided into five detailed goals: 1) restoration of river morphology and ecosystem through ecological planning; 2) establishment of wet biotopes; 3) construction of ecological corridors; 4) restoration of damaged forest ecosystems; and 5) ecological restoration of the roadside slopes that are linked with the surrounding forest. A master plan has been developed based on the detailed goals. The master plan involves: 1) establishment of a natural river, wet biotopes, and ecological corridors that facilitate the movement of amphibians, wild fowls, mammalians and fish; 2) development of a planting plan for the visitor center, the tunnel entrance, and soundproof banks; and 3) the presentation of a planting model for restoring roadside slopes that are connected to the surrounding forest. The eco-road plan needs to entail ecological conservation and restoration plans. In addition, a monitoring plan for ecological corridors and habitats should be included in the comprehensive plans, along with the continuous development of environmentally friendly technologies.

The bacterial number, extracellular enzyme activities and structure of bacterial community which are major constituent of aquatic ecosystem within the artificial vegetation island (AVI) were compared to those of the nearby pelagic lake waters in order to evaluate the possibility of the AVI as a eco-technological measure for water quality improvement and restoration of littoral zone in man-made reservoirs. There was not a significant difference in the total number of bacteria, but the number of active (viable) bacteria within the AVI was about 0.7 to 4.1 times higher than nearby pelagic lake water. The ratio of the number of active bacteria versus the total number of bacteria was also higher in the AVI than nearby pelagic lake water. The activities of ${\beta}$-glucosidase and phosphatase were 1.0 to 13.1 and 0.8 to 7.3 times higher respectively in the AVI than nearby pelagic lake water, showing that microorganisms were more active within the AVI. The bacterial communities of the two waters, examined by FISH method, did not indicate a clear difference in the springtime when the growth of macrophytes was immature, but during summer and fall it showed a clear difference indicating the formation of distinct bacterial community within the AVI compared to nearby lake water. From the results of this study, we conclude that AVI can contribute to make up the littoral ecosystem which show rapid cycling of matters through active detritus food chain in the dam reservoirs which have unstable aquatic ecosystem due to short hydraulic residence time and to strengthen the self-purification capacity of the lake.

South Korea is divided into five ecoprovinces and sixteen ecoregions. The criteria for ecoprovince classification are ecosystem connectivity and cultural homogeneity. Ecoregions are classified by cluster analysis. The variables used in the analysis are latitude, longitude, seasonal mean temperature, and seasonal precipitation. The large forest fires occurred in the specific ecoregions including Kangwon coastal ecoregion, WoolYoung coastal ecoregion, Hyungsan Taehwa coastal ecoregion, Upper Nagdong river basin ecoregion and Southeastern inland ecoregion. The largest forest fire in the korean history occurred in Kangwon coastal ecoregion in the year 2000. The fire devastated the forestland over 25,000ha. Korea Forest Service, Ministry of Environment, Province Kangwon and NGO organized an investigation committee for the restoration of the burnt area. The committee suggested restoration principles and also forged a restoration strategy of the Kangwon burnt area.

The purpose of the present study is to estimate the ecological instream flow for conservation and restoration of fish habitat in running water ecosystem which has very important status for stream environment. Estimation of the ecological instream flow in the present study was carried out by application of a two-dimensional depth averaged model of river hydrodynamics, River2D model. It can model fish habitat in natural streams and rivers and assess the quality of physical habitat accoriding to the species preferences for habitat suitability. Zacco platypus and Zacco temmincki were selected as target fish species in the study area of the Seomjin river. The Habitat Suitability Criteria (HSC) developed by Sung et al. (2005) were used for target fish species, life stages and habitat conditions in the study. Weighted usable area (WUA) was computed by the River2D model considering preferences of target fish species for velocity, depth, and channel substrate. The result revealed that the ecological instream flow of $10.0m^3/s$ is needed to maintain the target fish habitat at each life stage in the river.

The purpose of this study was to develop prediction models for plant species abundance by stream restoration. Generally the stream plant is affected by stream gemophology. So in this study, the relationship between the vegetation abundance and stream gemophology was developed by multiple regression analysis. The stream characteristics utilized in this study were longitudinal slope, transectional slope, micro-landforms through the longitudinal direction, riparian width and geometric mean diameter and biggest diameter of bed material, and cumulated coarse and fine sand weight portion. The Pyungchang River with mountainous watershed and the Kyungan stream and the Bokha stream in the agricultural region were selected and vegetation species abundance and stream characteristics were documented from the site at 2~3km intervals from the upper stream to the lower. The Models for predicting the vegetation abundance were developed by multiple regression analysis using SPSS statistics package. The linear relationship between the dependant(species abundance) and independant(stream characteristics) variables was tested by a graphical method. Longitudinal and transectional slope had a nonlinear relationship with species abundance. In the next step, the independance between the independant variables was tested and the correlation between independant and dependant variables was tested by the Pearson bivariate correlation test. The selected independant variables were transectional slope, riparian width, and cumulated fine sand weight portion. From the multiple regression analysis, the $R^2$for the Pyungchang river, Kyungan stream, Bokga stream were 0.651, 0.512 and 0.240 respectively. The natural stream configuration in the Pyungchang river had the best result and the lower $R^2$for Kyunan and Bokha stream were due to human impact which disturbed the natural ecosystem. The lowest $R^2$for the Bokha stream was due to the shifting sandy bed. If the stream bed is fugitive, the prediction model may not be valid. Using the multiple regression models, the vegetation abundance could be predicted with stream characteristics such as, transection slope, riaparian width, cumulated fine sand weigth portion, after stream restoration.

The purpose of this research is classifying stream into different types depending on various factor from the perspective of stream corridor restoration and using it as basic data, which are used to consider efficient management and planning for the healthy stream according to the characteristic by types. In this study, 130 points of location of the Nakdong river basin which consist of various geographic factors have been chosen and hierarchical cluster analysis has been carried out in these points by using biological and physiochemical factors whose health can be considered to be predicted and evaluated. As a result of cluster analysis, there were three divided types. Type A whose biology and water quality are considered the best was the highest in forest area percentage so that it was classified into natural stream. Type B was classified into a rural region stream with a mixture of urban and agricultural region. Type C, with the most damaged water quality and biology health had the most urban region surface area and was named as urban region stream. Moreover, an overall restoration strategy according to characteristic by stream types was set. By the results of correlation analysis on factors, water quality showed a high correlation with biological properties and was affected by surrounding land usage. In evaluation of streams, it proves the need to consider not only other habitat's geographical and biological factors but also the water quality and land usage factors. There needs to be further research on stream ecosystem functionality factors and structural aspects by using a more objective and total evaluation result in selecting additional index and various other specific classification methods by stream types and its restoration strategies.

This mini review examines the habitat connectivity and effectiveness of Korean Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) in the Yellow Sea Large Marine Ecosystem (YSLME) region. We first reemphasize that the Korean region of the YSLME is a single ecosystem (ecoregion) given the biophysical distribution patterns. The MPAs within the YSLME contribute about 50% to the total MPAs in Korea, accounting for about 10% of the territorial sea waters of Korea and 20% of the waters of YSLME on the Korean side. By area, national parks account for nearly 45% of the MPAs, followed by the wetland protected areas at 25%, with other types of MPA comprising the remaining 30%. Large MPA (> 100 km²) is the dominant type of MPA, accounting for 90% of the total area. We find that MPAs in the region are connected physically and perhaps also genetically. However, the level of protection was found to be low, and a no-take zone is rarely implemented. In addition, interrupted freshwater discharge caused by river-mouth dams poses a major hindrance to the physical connectivity of the MPAs. Restoration of the river-mouth dams and strengthened regulation on MPAs, with further expansion of MPAs in line with the current development of post-2020 global biodiversity frameworks, should be priorities for better management of marine resources. The newly revised law incorporating the concept of "Marine Ecosystem Axis Management" would reinforce the processes, and their effectiveness together with overall management of MPAs in Korea should be evaluated by designing appropriate measurement tools.
