Investigating the physical and chemical properties of riverine wetlands is necessary to understand their distribution characteristics and depositional environment. This study investigated the physical (particle size, color, and type) and chemical properties (organic, inorganic, and moisture contents) of sediments in Samrak wetland, located in the Nakdong River estuary area in Busan, South Korea. The particle size analysis indicated that the hydraulic conductivity values for the coarse grain and the mixture of coarse and fine grains ranged from 2.03 to 3.49×10^-1 cm s^-1 and 7.18×10^-3 to 1.24×10^-7 cm s^-1, respectively. In-situ water quality and laboratory-based chemical analyses and radon-222 measurement were performed on groundwater and surface water in the wetland and water from the nearby Nakdong River. The physical and chemical properties of Samrak wetland was characterized by the sediments in the vertical and lateral direction. The concentrations of chemical components in the wetland groundwater were distinctly higher than those in the Nakdong River water though the wetland groundwater and Nakdong River water equally belonged to the Ca-HCO₃ type.

본 연구는 하도 내 홍수터 중심의 하천습지를 대상으로 현존 식생군집의 분석결과를 기준으로 식생 우세도지수를 산정하여 하천습지의 자연도를 평가함으로써 식생학적 복원의 기초자료를 제시하고자 수행되었다. 본 연구의 대상지는 금강수계의 논산천과 한강수계의 홍천강으로 일정한 하천구간을 선정하여 자연구간과 도시구간으로 구분 한 후 상관식생의 군집 및 토지이용 유형을 조사분석하고, 습지식생의 우세도 지수를 적용하여 하천습지의 자연도 평가를 수행하였다. 논산천과 홍천강은 유역의 규모와 특성, 하천환경의 교란과정 및 훼손의 상태 등에 있어서의 상당한 차이를 반영하듯 조사분석된 식생군집 및 토지이용의 양상도 많은 차이를 나타내었다. 특히 상관 식생군집의 공통성도 갯버들 1종을 제외하고는 매우 상이하였고, 또한 토지이용 양상도 많은 차이를 보였다. 습지식생의 우세도 지수를 적용하여 하천습지의 자연도를 평가한 결과 논산천과 홍천강 모두 자연구간이 도시구간에 비해 습지로서의 적합성이 높은 것으로 나타났으며, 반면 논산천과 홍천강의 자연구간만의 비교평가시 논산천의 자연도가 높게 나타났으나 이는 홍천강의 경우 제방사면이나 천이고지에 정착한 육상형 식생군집이 포함된데 기인하는 것이라 판단된다. 결론적으로 습지식생 우세도 지수에 의한 하천습지의 자연도 평가결과는 양하천수계 및 구간의 하천환경 특성을 상당하게 반영하고 있다고 판단된다.

The analysis of stable carbon isotope ratios for benthic fauna was applied to identify the source of carbon in benthic food webs in Youngil Bay, Korea. The ${\delta}^{13}$C values of 9 invertebrate species collected in this area showed a narrow range between -20.5 and -16.3%$_o$ with a mean of-18.1 (${\pm}$1.1)"%$_o$. The results suggest that the major source of organic carbon for the benthic fauna of the lower estuarine reaches and the oceanic sites is autochthonous marine particulate organic matter. The contribution of organic matter from terrestrial and riverine sources to the diet of the benthic fauna in this area appears to be minor, despite the considerable inflow of riverine waters.

Vegetation and riverine structures were compared among urban and several semi-natural rivers by applying direct gradient analysis and ordination method. Urban rivers showed different species composition from the semi-natural ones. Species composition of semi-natural rivers depended on the geographical positions, such as the upstream, midstream, and downstream and on micro-topographies, such as the waterside, flooding bed, and embankment. Semi-natural rivers showed gentle change in micro-topography, whereas urban one did not so. Our restoration plan to improve the ecological quality of the degraded urban river by imitating semi-natural river was prepared based on those data.

Background: The plant communities within reservoir drawdown zones are ecologically important as they provide a range of ecosystem services such as stabilizing the shoreline, improving water quality, enhancing biodiversity, and mitigating climate change. The aim of the study was therefore to identify the major environmental factors affecting these plant communities within the drawdown zone of the Soyangho Reservoir in South Korea, which experiences a monsoonal climate, and thereafter to (1) elucidate the plant species responses and (2) compare the soil seedbank composition along main environmental gradients. Results: Two main environmental gradients affecting the plant community structure were identified within the drawdown zone; these were a vertical and longitudinal gradient. On the vertical dimension, a hydrological gradient of flood/exposure, the annual-dominated plant community near the water edge changed to a perennial-dominated community at the highest elevation. On the longitudinal dimension from the dam to the upstream, plant species composition changed from an upland forest-edge community to a lowland riverine community, and this was correlated with slope degree, soil particle size, and soil moisture content. Simultaneously, the composition of the soil seedbank was separated along the vertical gradient of the drawdown zone, with mainly annuals near the water edge and some perennials at higher elevations. The species composition similarity between the seedbank and extant vegetation was greater in the annual communities at low elevation than in the perennial communities at higher elevation. Conclusions: The structures of plant community and soil seedbank in the drawdown zone of a monsoonal riverine reservoir were changed first along the vertical and secondly along the longitudinal gradients. The soil seedbank could play an important role on the vegetation regeneration after the disturbances of flood/exposure in the drawdown zone. These results indicate that it is important to understand the vertical and longitudinal environmental gradients affecting shoreline plant community structure and the role of soil seedbanks on the rapid vegetation regeneration for conserving and restoring the drawdown zone of a monsoonal reservoir.

연안수에서 유기 화합물의 정량적인 특성을 파악하기 위하여 인천 연안 지역, 포항의 영일만을 포함한 형산강 지역 그리고 부산 연안 지역에서 시료를 채취하였다. 또한 강화도와 세어도에서 고정관측도 하였다. 연안수의 총유기탄소(TOC)와 염분과의 상관 관계 및 화학적 산소요구량(COD)과 염분과의 상관 관계를 이용하여 추정한 하천에서 연안역으로 유입되는 총유기탄소의 riverine end-member 값은 5.32 mg C/l, 화학적 산소요구량의 riverine end-member 값은 8.87 mg $O_2$/1로 나타났다 고온 촉매 산화(HTCO)방법을 이용하여 측정한 총유기탄소와 화학적 산소요구량을 비교한 결과 화학적 산소요구량은 총유기탄소의 약 47%를 반영하는 것으로 나타났다. 총유기탄소와 화학적 산소요구량에 대한 상관 관계식은 COD(mgO$_2$,/1)=0.61$\times$TOC(mg C/l)-0.03,($R^2$=0.66)으로 이 관계식을 이용하면 기존에 보고된 화학적 산소요구량으로 총유기탄소를 추정하는데 활용할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

Mastitis is a highly morbid disease that requires detection at the subclinical stage. Tropical countries like India mainly depend on milch buffaloes for milk. The present study was conducted to investigate whether the trace minerals viz. copper (Cu), iron (Fe), zinc (Zn), cobalt (Co) and manganese (Mn) and enzyme activity of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), alkaline phosphatase (ALP) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) in riverine buffalo milk can be used as an indicator of subclinical mastitis (SCM) with the aim of developing suitable diagnostic kit for SCM. Trace elements and enzyme activity in milk were estimated with Atomic absorption Spectrophotometer, GBC 932 plus and biochemical methods, respectively. Somatic cell count (SCC) was done microscopically. The cultural examination revealed Gram positive bacteria as the most prevalent etiological agent. A statistically significant (p<0.01) increase in SCC, Fe, Zn, Co and LDH occurred in SCM milk containing gram positive bacterial agents only. ALP was found to be elevated in milk infected by both gram positive and negative bacteria. The percent sensitivity, specificity and accuracy, predictive values and likelihood ratios were calculated taking bacterial culture examination and $SCC\geq2{\times}10^5$ cells/ml of milk as the benchmark. Only ALP and Zn, the former being superior, were found to be suitable for diagnosis of SCM irrespective of etiological agents. LDH, Co and Fe can be introduced in the screening programs where Gram positive bacteria are omnipresent. It is recommended that both ALP and Zn be measured together in milk to diagnose buffalo SCM, irrespective of etiology.

The Small-Unit Riverine Craft (SURC) is a small high-speed vessel used by navies and marine corps in relatively shallow waterway environments, such as riverine areas or littoral coasts. In the past, SURCs have primarily been rigid-hulled inflatable boats constructed using composite materials such as glass fiber reinforced plastics. More recently, single-hull SURCs have been manufactured using aluminum for weight reduction. In this study, a Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymer (CFRP) material was applied instead to examine its feasibility in the basic design of an SURC with a hull length of 10 m. The CFRP structural design was obtained using the properties of a marine CFRP laminate, determined in a previous study. Next, the designed CFRP SURC was modeled to confirm its functionality, then compared with existing aluminum SURCs, indicating that the CFRP SURC was 41.49 % lighter, reduced fuel consumption by 30 %, and could sail 50 NM further for every hour of engine operation. A method for reducing the high cost of carbon fiber was also proposed based on the adjustment of the carbon fiber content to provide the optimum strength where required. The data developed in this study can be used as a basis for further design of CFRP craft.
