  • 본 연구는 섬진강 하구역에서 저서다모류군집의 시 공간적 분포 및 환경 요인과의 상관관계를 파악하기 위해 2012년 4월부터 2013년 2월까지 24개의 정점을 대상으로 소조시 만조 때 조사를 실시하였다. 수질환경요인으로 염도, 수온, 용존산소, pH 등을 측정한 결과를 바탕으로 조사지역은 세 해역으로 구분하였다. 각 정점별 환경 특성 차이에 따라 Saline Water Zone(SWZ), Brackish Water Zone(BWZ), Fresh Water Zone(FWZ)으로 정의하였다. SWZ은 대개 30 psu를 상회하였으며, BWZ에서는 염도가 급격히 감소하였고, FWZ에서는 거의 0 psu를 보였다. SWZ에서는 수온의 계절 변동이 가장 적었으며, DO는 가장 낮은 값을, pH는 시공간적 변동이 거의 없이 일정한 값을 유지하였다. 반면 FWZ에서는 수온의 계절 변동이 심하였으며, DO는 가장 높은 값을, pH는 시공간적 변동이 가장 심하였다. 표층퇴적상은 SWZ에서는 니질(Mud)함량이 높았으며 BWZ에서는 사질(Sand)함량이 높게 나타났고 FWZ에서는 사질(Sand)이나 자갈(Gravel)함량이 높게 나타났다. 그 외 유기물함량과 황화물량은 SWZ에서 높은 값을, Chl-a 량은 FWZ에서 높은 값을 보였다. 조사해역은 염도가 낮으며 유기물 함량, 황화물량이 낮고 조립한 퇴적상을 보이는 Fresh Water Zone과 염도가 높으며, 유기물함량, 황화물량이 높고, 세립한 퇴적상을 보이는 Saline Water Zone으로 조사지역의 환경이 뚜렷이 대비됨을 보여주고 있다. 섬진강 하구역에서 출현한 저서다모류의 출현종수와 서식밀도는 Salline Water Zone에서 가장 높았으며, Brackish Water Zone으로 갈수록 점점 감소하였고, Fresh Water Zone에서 매우 낮았다. Brackish Water Zone의 경우 서식밀도의 계절 변동이 매우 심하였는데, 이는 Prionospio cirrifera의 극우점 출현에 의한 것이다. 섬진강 하구역에서 출현한 저서다모류 중 매 계절 상위 5.0%의 점유율을 보이는 우점종은 총 6종이었다. 이 중 Lumbrineris longifolia, Prionoispio cirrifera, Tharyx sp.는 매 계절 주요 우점종으로 출현하였다. 그 외에 Hediste sp., Praxillella affinis, Tylorrhynchus sp.가 조사 시기에 따라서 우점종으로 출현하기도 하였다. 우점 출현 다모류들은 특징적으로 분포하는 해역이 뚜렷이 구분되었다. Saline Water Zone의 대표적인 종은 Lumbrineris longifolia, Tharyx sp., Mediomastus sp.이었다. Saline Water Zone에서부터 Brackish Water Zone까지의 해역에 폭넓게 걸쳐 출현하는 종은 Prionospio cirrifera, Aricidea sp., Heteromastus filiformis이었다. 그리고 Brackish Water zone의 내륙쪽 정점 일부와 Fresh Water Zone에서는 특징적으로 Tylorrhynchus sp., Hediste sp.가 우점 출현하였다. 섬진강 하구역에서 채집된 저서다모류의 출현종 조성과 정점간 유사도지수에 근거하여 집괴분석(Cluster Analysis) 및 비계량적 다차원척도법(non-metric Multidimensional Scaling)을 실시한 결과, 모든 계절에서 Saline Water Zone과 Fresh Water Zone에 위치하는 정점들은 각각 대표적인 하나의 정점군으로 구분되었다. 반면 Brackish Water Zone의 경우는 계절에 따라 수개의 정점군으로 세분되었다. 저서환경 요인과 저서다모류군집의 생태학적 요인들 간의 Pearson 상관관계분석과 주성분분석(PCA) 결과, 염도, 퇴적상, 유기물함량, DO 등이 저서다모류군집의 제반 생태학적 지수(출현종수, 서식밀도, 주요 종의 출현량, 생태지수)의 공간 분포를 결정짓는데 매우 중요한 역할을 하는 환경요인임이 확인되었다.

  • To collect the diatom species belonging to the genus Hantzschia, bottom sediments were collected from 32 sampling sites in 23 sand-flat areas in the intertidal zone and river reaches of Nakdong River estuary, Korea. The sand sediments contained a total of 19 species of genus Hantzschia, Hantzschia amphioxys (Ehrenberg) Grunow, H. amphioxys f. capitata O. Muller, H. baltica Simonsen, H. distinctepunctata (Hustedt) Hustedt, H. elegantula (Østrup) Witkowski et al., H. longiareolata Garcia-Baptista, H. marina (Donkin) Grunow, H. pseudomarina Hustedt, H. virgata (Roper) Grunow, H. virgata var. gracilis Hustedt, H. virgata var. kariana Grunow, H. virgata var. leptocephala Østrup and H. weyprechtii Grunow, including six unconfirmed species. Eleven Hantzschia species are reported as new to Korea. Hantzschia virgata, its infraspecies, and neighboring speceis showed large morphological variations within a single species or among the closely related species. Hantzschia amphioxys, H. distinctepunctata, and H. virgata var. leptocephala prefer freshwater habitats in the upper reaches of the river, while others occurred mainly in the sand flats composed of coarse sand in the intertidal area. In the estuarine sediments, the Hantzschia taxa are classified to be typical sand-attached forms.

  • Supposed construction of a large port in the mouth of Tuman River requires careful examination of possible unfavorable ecological consequences for the Far Eastern Federal Marine Reserve. Since the Tuman River is the largest source of suspended material and possible contaminants flowing into the sea, and in order to understand how this material is allocated in the coastal zone, analyses are needed to check possible pathways of water transport and circulation system in the region. Linearized shallow water equations were used for numerical simulation of the wind-driven circulation to the north off the Tuman River mouth. The model results satisfactorily agreed with in situ data. The model circulation patterns are largely dependent on the wind direction and are conformed by the distribution of bottom sediments, and by the location of organic carbon and some pollutants accumulation zones. The most unfavorable situation for the Marine Reserve is the case of the southwesterly wind; even with quite moderate wind, the waters polluted by the run-off from the Tuman River can attain the south section of the Marine Reserve during the diurnal period.

  • This study estimated spatial and seasonal variation of water quality to understand characteristics of Nakdong river basin, Korea. All together 11 parameters (discharge, water temperature, dissolved oxygen, 5-day biochemical oxygen demand, chemical oxygen demand, pH, suspended solids, electrical conductivity, total nitrogen, total phosphorus, and total organic carbon) at 22 different sites for the period of 2003-2011 were analyzed using multivariate statistical techniques (cluster analysis, principal component analysis and factor analysis). Hierarchical cluster analysis grouped whole river basin into three zones, i.e., relatively less polluted (LP), medium polluted (MP) and highly polluted (HP) based on similarity of water quality characteristics. The results of factor analysis/principal component analysis explained up to 83.0%, 81.7% and 82.7% of total variance in water quality data of LP, MP, and HP zones, respectively. The rotated components of PCA obtained from factor analysis indicate that the parameters responsible for water quality variations were mainly related to discharge and total pollution loads (non-point pollution source) in LP, MP and HP areas; organic and nutrient pollution in LP and HP zones; and temperature, DO and TN in LP zone. This study demonstrates the usefulness of multivariate statistical techniques for analysis and interpretation of multi-parameter, multi-location and multi-year data sets.

  • The horizontal distributions of $^{224}Ra$ (half life=3.4 days) and $^{223}Ra$ (half life=11.3 days) were measured in surface seawaters of the Nakdong River estuary and the South Sea of Korea in April and October 2002. In order to determine these short-lived Ra isotopes, we used a delayed coincidence counter which is much more rapid and accurate than traditional methods. In an estuarine mixing zone (salinity, ~l6 ppt), the activities of $^{224}Ra\;and\;^{223}Ra$ were much greater than what would be expected from a mixture of freshwater and seawater in the Nakdong River estuary. This excess Ra may be a result of Ra desorption from fresh sediments originating from the river upstream. However, in the more open areas of the Nakdong River estuary (salinity>30 ppt) and the South Sea of Korea, $^{224}Ra\;and\;^{^{223}Ra$ activities decreased exponentially as a function of distance offshore. Using the decrease of $^{223}Ra$ with distance offshore in the South Sea of Korea, we estimated the apparent horizontal eddy diffusivities. The apparent eddy diffusion coefficients in South Sea of Korea are calculated to be approximately $3500-8000\;\textrm{m}^2/sec$.

  • Following the industrialization and urbanization in Korea, algal bloom causes aesthetic displeasure and many other problems such as taste and odor, coloration, scum, increase in pH, filter-bed blockage. There were some cases involving human death by microcystins during summertime in foreign countries. In Korea, Harmful cyanobacteria such as Microcystis and Anabaena develop in summer in the Daecheong reservoir, one of the main water resources, with the retention time of above 200 days. To better control algal bloom, the Ministry of Environment has been running algal bloom alert system from 1998 for the Daecheong reservoir, which needs to be improved to reflect the characteristics of river-type lakes. For this reason, we try to find new measures to improve an algal bloom alert system for each water zone considering the characteristics of harmful cyanobacteria in this study.

  • This study was designed to present a river model with the aim of restoring the ecosystem and improving the landscape along the urban rivers on the basin of the Namhanl river, a core life channel for the National Capital regin. The revelation of botanical status, transition trend and correlation of plants might lead to providing the urban river restoration projects and ecological river formation projects with basic data for a model of ideal aquatic ecology and landscape. The outcomes of this study could be summed up as follows: 1. The plant communities of river flora found on the basin of the Namhan river could be categorized largely into 39 plant communities 2. Most diverse plants were distributed in the rivers lower reaches such as Unsim-ri where the protected zone of Paldang reservoir for city water borders the body of Jodae swamp where natural streams flow nearby. 3. One of the greatest threats to the biomass of the River Namhan is that the communities of such invasive alien plants as Panicum dichotomiflorum and Ambrosia artemisiifolia var. elatior dominate most parts of the area, a fact that has resulted in a reduced variety of plants and will, sooner or later, be likely to cause an ecological imbalance in the hitherto healthy Aquatic plant life. It is highly advisable to gradually diversify the species of trees and to return the plants bark to their original state since, besides the naturalized plants, plantations afforested with Erigeron canadensis and Erigeron annuus stocks in buckwheat field, Robinia Pseudo-accacia in riverside forest, Pinus rigida in terrestrial forest on the river basin and Larix leptolepis are anticipated to act as interceptors of normal migrations of the fluvial and terrestrial ecosystems. Finally, it seems also desirable to continue to explore the relationship between fluvial and terrestrial ecologies with the purpose of building up a model of natural streams in urban areas based on the surveyed factors for plant life, soil and landscape and, moreover, on the forecasting for overall influences derived from the rotation upon the ecosystem.

  • The complex ecological researches were made in the broad-leaved forest zone of Central Europe in nature reserves and national parks located on the banks of the river (hydrology, vegetation, soils, unconfined ground waters). The natural conditions of terrestrial ecosystems and natural sites were compared along the course of the rivers. The significant negative influence of low-dammed (low-confined hydrotechnic) construction and small reservoirs on vegetation and soils of floodplain was revealed. On the basis of analysis of mean annual water level and flow trends on the multi-years series (60-100 years) of the hydrometric stations on the rivers under consideration the significant influence of natural long-term variability of watering on vegetation dynamics in the floodplains was revealed.

  • Both Cobitis lutheri Rendahl and C.striata Ikeda previously regarded as the subspecies of C.taenia are revised here and raised to the species rank based on the distinct color pattern on their body sides in relation to the shpae of lamina circularis and suborbital spine, and distinct distributional patter. C. lutheri was similar to C. striata in chromosome number and karyotype, but chromosomal polymorphism as Robert sonian event was confirmed only in the population of C.lutheri studies. Both, C. kutheri and C..striata have disjunct ranges : the former in western Korea and east-northern China Mainland, the latter in the Smjin River of korea and west-southern Japan. hybridization between C. lutheri and C. striata by secondary contact appeared in the limited zone of the Dongjin River, Chllabuk-do province, korea, but the evidence for habitat segregation between them suggests the possibility that natural hybridization occurs between the two species and introgression results. We consider that the two species were produced as ecological equivalent species in the different branch stream of the Paleo-Hwangho River , The time of recession of sea level during the gracial period.
