Treated sewage could enable growth by providing key nutrients or seeding the sediments with enterococci strains that can grow in the environment. This study is to test the hypothesis that the flux of bacteria into the water column is rate-limited by the transfer of bacteria across the sediment/water interface. Two conceptual models are derived for the transfer of bacteria to the water column from the sediment/water interface: convective diffusion of isolated bacteria and resuspension of particle-associated bacteria. The model predictions are directly tested together with field measurements of bacteria and sediment in an effluent-dominated stream where high concentrations of enterococci in this stream originate primarily from growth of the bacteria in stream sediments. The results reveal that high concentrations of enterococci in this stream are transported primarily by resuspension of particle-associated bacteria accumulated at the sediment/water interface, either in the form of bacterial aggregates or in the form of inorganic particles.

The architecture of macrofaunal burrows and the total area of the sediment-water interface created by biogenic structure were investigated in the Donggeomdo tidal flat on the west coast of Korea. Resin casting methods were applied to recover burrows of four dominant species, Macrophthalmus japonicus, Cleistostoma dilatatum, Perinereis aibuhitensis, and Periserrula leucophryna, and whole burrows within the casting area at three sites in different tidal levels. P. leucophryna excavated the largest burrow in terms of a surface area among them. In the case of whole burrow casting, the space occupied by the biogenic structure was extended into deeper and expanded more greatly at the higher tidal level. In the uppermost flat, the burrow wall surface area within sediment was more extensive than the sediment surface area. Increased oxygen supply through the extended interface could enhance the degradation rates of organic carbon and also change the pathways of degradation. Quantifying the relationship between the extended interface and mineralization rate and pathway requires more extensive study.

Chronic outbreaks of green tide in the Nakdong estuary toll a heavy socioeconomic cost. The paper investigates the influence of sediments on the nitrogen eutrophication, being claimed as the primary cause of green tide. To measure the flux of nitrate at the sediments-water interface, sediment cores were taken in Jan., Mar., May and Sep., 2000 at Noksan located in the West-Nakdong river estuary. The dissolved oxygen was profiled and then the pore water was extracted in situ. Core samples were analyzed for their textural characteristics. Cores were incubated by a novel technique to measure the fluxes of nitrate $(NO_3^-)$ and ammonia $(NH_4^+)$ at the sediment-water interface. The dissolved oxygen was depleted usually within several millimeters in the top sediments. Nitrate started to decrease drastically at the layer where dissolved oxygen was nearly depleted. Nitrate was also exhausted within several centimeters, followed by ammonia build up rapidly. The flux at the sediments-water interface calculated from the pore water concentrations revealed that nitrate was removed from the water column into the sediments. The sediment incubation experiment confirmed the above result. On the other hand ammonia were released from the sediment to the water column. As the incubation went on, however, the nitrate concentration in the overlying water was dropped below that of a top sediment. Then the flux is reversed, i.e., nitrate was released from the sediments to the water column. The implication is that the sediment can supply nitrate to the water column if it falls below a certain level. Thus it is likely that sediments in the eutrophicated river buffers the nitrate concentration in the water column, which leads to a prolonged green tide.

Biogeochemical cycling of organic carbon is quantitatively partitioned in terms of 1) flux to the ocean bottom, 2) benthic utilization at or near the sediment-water interface, 3) remineralization and 4) burial within sediments, by making an independent determination for each component process from a single coastal site in Kwangyang Bay. The partitioning suggests that the benthic utilization at or near the sediment-water interface is the major mode of organic carbon cycling at the site. The benthic utilization takes 61.8% (441.6 gCm$^{-2}$ yr $^{-1}$) of the total near-bottem organic carbon flux, 714.6 gCm $^{-2}$yr$^{-1}$, and far exceeds the remineralization of organic carbon within the sediments which amounts only to 6% (41.24 gCm$^{-2}$yr$^{-1}$) of the total near-bottom flux. The residence time is about 1.6 years for the sedimentary metabolic organic carbon in the upper 45 cm. The dominant partitioning of the benthic utilization in the carbon budget suggests that most of labile organic carbons are consumed at or near the sediment-water interface and are left over to the sediment column by significantly diminished amounts.

낙동강의 하류지역 (낙동강, 서낙동강 및 조만강)의 수질오염에 있어서 저질퇴적층의 영향을 파악하기 위하여 저질과 저층수의 환경을 조사하였다. 세 지점에서 수질을 모니터링 하였을 때, 고수온기인 5 ${\sim}$ 8월에 수표면과 저층간의 수온, 용존 산소, $PO_4\;^{3-}$, $NH_4\;^+$의 차이가 컸다. 7 ${\sim}$ 8월 중에 저층의 용존 산소는 대체로 5 mg $O_2/l$ 이하로 유지되는 빈도가 높았고, 이 기간에 저질-수층 경계면에서 $PO_4\;^{3-}$와 $NH_4\;^+$의 이동이 활발할 것으로 추정된다. 저질에 가까운 저층에서 무기 영양염 농도와 수층chl-a 농도는 지역적으로 낙동강<서낙동강<조만강의 순이었고 수심이 얕고 저질 퇴적층이 발달할수록 수질에 미치는 영향이 컸다. 저질의 유기물 함량은 하류 쪽으로 갈수록 증가하였고, 낙동강보다는 서낙동강 수계에서 더 높았으며 저질의 가비중과 역 상관관계로서 오염도 뿐 아니라 저질입도와 관련이 있었다. 저질 공극수내 $PO_4\;^{3-}$와 $NO_3\;^-$은 수층보다 그 농도가 매우 낮았으나 $NH_4\;^+$와 $SiO_2$농도는 수층과 유사하거나 더 높았다. 공극수 내 $NH_4\;^+$와 $SiO_2$농도는 저질 깊이에 따라 증가하였고, $PO_4\;^{3-}$는 감소한 반면 $NO_3\;^-$은 일정하였다. 반면 저질 내 치환성 무기영양염은 공극수 무기영양염 농도보다 최대 수백배 높았으며 $PO_4\;^{3-}$, $NH_4\;^+$, $SiO_2$는 저질 깊이에 따라 감소했으나 $NO_3\;^-$는 증가하였다.

Benthic organisms dwell in sediment-water interface that contains significant amount of organic and inorganic contaminants. Their feeding behavior is highly related with sediment itself and pore water in the sediments, especially in ease of deposit feeder (i.e. polychaete, amphipod). The acid volatile sulfide (AVS) is one of the important binding phases of sediment-bound metals in addition to organic matter and Fe and Mn oxide fractions in sediments, particularly in anoxic sediments. The AVS model is a powerful tool to predict metal bioavailability and bioaccumulation in benthic organisms considering SEM/AVS mole ratios in surficial sediments. However, several biogeochemical factors must be considered to use AVS model in the sediment-bound metal bioavailability.

Managing erosion control dams requires the annual average sediment yield to determine their storage capacity and time to full sediment-fill and dredging. The GeoWEPP (Geo-spatial interface for Water Erosion Prediction Project) model can predict the annual average sediment yield from various land uses and vegetation covers at a watershed scale. This study assessed the GeoWEPP to determine the annual average sediment yield for managing erosion control dams by applying it to five erosion control dams and comparing the results with field observations using ground-based LiDAR (light detection and ranging). The modeling results showed some differences with the observed sediment yields. Therefore, GeoWEPP is not recommended to determine the annual average sediment yield for erosion control dams. Moreover, when using the GeoWEPP, the following is recommended :1) use the US WEPP climate files with similar latitude, elevation and precipitation modified with monthly average climate data in Korea and 2) use soil files based on forest soil maps in Korea. These methods resulted in GeoWEPP predictions and field observations of 0 and 63.3 Mg·yr-1 for the Gangneung, 142.3 and 331.2 Mg·yr-1 for the Bonghwa landslide, 102.0 and 107.8 Mg·yr-1 for the Bonghwa control, 294.7 and 115.0 Mg·yr-1 for the Chilgok forest fire, and 0 and 15.0 Mg·yr-1 for the Chilgok control watersheds. Application of the GeoWEPP in Korea requires 1) building a climate database fit for the WEPP using the meteorological data from Korea and 2) performing further studies on soil and streamside erosion to determine accurate parameter values for Korea.

저질로부터 용출되는 영양염부하가 내만의 수질오염에 미치는 영향을 예측하기 위하여 수층과 저질간의 물질순환과정을 고려한 수-저질생태계모델(SWEM)을 개발하였다. SWEM모델은 유동을 예측하는 수리역학모델과 수층의 생태계순환 및 저질로부터의 영양염용출과정을 고려하여 수-저질간의 물질순환과정을 예측하는 생태계모델의 2개의 서브모델로 구성되어 있으며, 수치모형실험은 실시간에 의한 유동과 수질예측 계산을 실시하였다. 본 모델을 일본 博多灣에 적용하며 대상해역의 부영양화과정 및 영양염의 물질순환과정을 수치예측하고, 저질로부터 용출되는 영양염이 만내의 수질변화에 미치는 영향에 대하여 검토하였다. 모델에 의한 博多灣의 유통계산견과는 조류, 수온ㆍ염분의 관측치와 잘 일치하였으며, 물질순환예측의 계산치는 만내 수질관측치를 양호하게 재현하였다. 또한, 博多灣의 영양염 플럭스의 예측결과로부터 저질로 부터 용출하는 영양염 플럭스는 수질변화에 크게 영향을 미치고 있는 것 으로 나타났다.
