Tidal flats which are ecologically sensitive, are hard to remediate once they are contaminated by oil spill accidents. Traditional oil remediation measures focus on removal efficiency, and their improper implementation can adversely affect crude oil contaminated coastal areas and greatly disrupt the structure and functions of crude oil contaminated tidal flats. In this study, the oil degradation due to the implementation of remediation measures naturally enhanced using air and natural oil sorbents was evaluated in the lower strata of tidal flats. The effects of air and natural oil sorbents on oil degradation for two concentration levels (< 500 ppm and > 500 ppm) were tested at artificially contaminated tidal flats. Fifty days after these treatments, the natural oil sorbent treatment showed the lowest total petroleum hydrocarbon (TPH) concentration ($4.46{\pm}1.47%$) at the low concentration level, whereas both air and natural oil sorbent treatments showed high degradation efficiencies at the high concentration level ($29.30{\pm}4.39%$). Although the phosphatase activity decreased for all treatments, there was no significant difference between the decreases for the different treatments; on the other hand, B-glucosidase activities were high for both air and natural oil sorbent treatments. Although degradation efficiencies decreased as the concentration increased, the air provision and natural oil sorbent treatment could be an effective ecological restoration measure for oil contaminated tidal flats while minimizing the environmental impact of the remediation efforts.

신간척지 토양 pH는 7.5 이상의 알카리성 토양으로 요소와 같은 화학비료 처리 시 휘산에 의한 손실이 증가하여 비료효율이 저감된다. 한편 퇴비와 같은 유기태질소를 함유하는 유기질비료를 처리하더라도 토양 내 Nitrosomonas나 Nitrobactor와 같은 미생물상이 미약하여 질산화과정이 미약하여 실질적 유기질비료의 효과를 기대하기 어렵다. 한편 논과 같이 초기부터 담수상태로 시작하는 토양에서는 식물체가 질소원을 양분으로 이용하기 전 탈질화과정을 거치거나 아니면 용탈과정을 통하여 손실이 발생한다. 따라서 토양 pH가 7.5 이상으로 증가함에 따라 요소형태로 토양에 가해진 질소원으로부터 암모니아가스 발생이 급격히 증가되면 실질적 질소질 비료의 이용효율이 저하된다. 따라서 pH7 이상의 간척지 토양에 요소를 질소원으로 처리 시 암모니 움태나 질산태 형태의 가급태 질소원은 매우 적을 것으로 추정된다. 그러므로 담수하에서의 간척지 토양의 산화환원 특성과 토양 pH에 따른 처리 비종과 처리 기술개발이 반드시 필요하다고 판단한다.

해양에너지는 무궁무진한 부존량을 지니고 있으며 2차적인 환경문제를 야기 시키는 위험성이 상대적으로 작기 때문에 더욱 기대가 모아지고 있다. 우리나라의 서해안은 조수간만의 차가 크기 때문에 해양에너지 중에서도 조력발전을 통한 대규모 신재생에너지 창출이 유리한 지역이다. 아울러 조력발전을 위한 발전소를 해상에 설치 할 경우, 댐 건설에 따른 교량효과, 관광자원효과 및 만내 하천범람을 조절효과 등 다목적의 개발 기대효과를 얻을 수 있다. 조력발전을 위해서는 외해 조석과 발전소 운전에 따른 조지수위 변화에 따라 결정되는 가용수두가 크고, 비교적 광역의 조지면적이 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 가용수두가 클 뿐만 아니라, 만입구가 좁고, 만내에 넓은 조지면적을 지닌 서해안에 위치한 가로림만에 조력발전소를 건설할 경우, 조력발전에 따른 효과를 예측하는데 있어서 필수적인 수리특성의 변화를 EFDC모델을 이용한 수치모형실험을 통해 검토하였다. 검토 결과, 조력발전 입지로서의 가로림만의 입지타당성을 확인하였으며, 대상지역은 창조시의 유속보다는 낙조시의 유속이 빠르기 때문에 낙조시 유속이 빠른 서측수로에 수차발전기를 설치하고 동측수로에 수문을 설치해야 하는 등의 설계 지견을 얻을 수 있었다.

The gain of internal energy of a star cluster caused by the tidal attraction of our Galaxy is examined. Expressions are derived which include the effects of a two-body orbit and internal motions of the cluster. These formulae are compared with previous results based on (i) uniform rectilinear motion and (ii) neglect of internal motions induced by cluster gravitation(i.e., impulsive approximation), and it is found that these simplifying assumptions generally introduce significant uncertainties.

The response of the tidal waves to friction effect is investigated in terms of deformation of Kelvin and Poincare modes, The 1st Poincare mode does not exist over the low frequency region less than the critical frequency of omega ${\omega}$${\sqrt{2f}}$, with ${\gamma}$/f=0.0, but the mode comes to exist in the presence of friction. When friction exists and its magnitude increases, the wave number increases, indicating that the wave length of the Poincare mode becomes increasingly short with increasing friction. The damping coefficient gradually increases with increasing friction over the high frequency region, but the trend is reversed over the low frequency region. In case of Kelvin wave the present study substantiates the characters of Kelvin wave examined by Mofjeld (1980) and Lee (1988). Based on the examination of frictional effects on the tidal wave propagation, the co-oscillating tides in the Yellow Sea are examined by considering both the head opening and bottom friction effects. As friction is introduced and increased in addition to partial opening at bay head, the location of the amphidromic point near the Shantung Peninsula moves more southwestward. This southwestward movement of the amphidromic point is increasingly compatible with the observed location of Ogura's or Nishida's tidal chart of the M$_2$ tide.

There is a host of habitat assessment systems available to evaluate and grade tidal flat ecosystems in Korea. Nevertheless, we recognize the need to develop a better ecological scheme to improve reliability and accuracy given the importance of using an empirical approach in assigning grades to indicators and the limitation of current systems which evaluate tidal flats on a regional basis. A preferable system would be one that enables habitat mapping within a tidal flat, provides a diagnosis of ecological stress/health, has a high level of ecological relevance, communicability, and statistical robustness, and enables evaluation of diverse habitats within a tidal flat. The following points should be considered in framing such a system. Indicators should discriminate habitat quality into five to seven grades accomodating diverse characteristics and conservation value of a habitat, and the grading should be made from frequency distribution of indicators based on nationwide data.We suggest the following tasks in crafting such a system: i) The decision on selection of indicators should be made based on accuracy of assessment and practical application; ii) effects of physical habitat conditions on variability of indicators should be reflected; and, iii) further works on stress/health indicators should be addressed for adopting a multiple-indicator approach which reduces misdiagnosis.

Four tidal flats, covering two dissipative type beaches and two other tidal mud flats, around Yonaiong-Yongyu Islands, Inchon, Korea were studied in May 1991 to analyze the spatial distribution patterns of benthic communities on macrotidal flats. From the statistical test on spatial patterns of species number, density, and biomass, significant trends were found in species number and biomass. Although quantitative analysis was not performed, the interpretation showed that the variations were ruled out by environmental gradients such as sediment grain size and tidal elevation. The eight communities revealed in this study are as follows: Moerella-Mactra(Group 1), llyoplax-Glycera -Magelona japonica-Magelona sp.-Pe riserrula ( Group 2), Amphiura-Nephtys californiensis-Bullacta-Eohaustorius (Group 3), Leonnates-Heteromastus-Pretankyra-Nephtys polybranchia (Group4), Nephtys chemulpoensis-Macrophthalmus (Group 5), Ceratonereis-Scopimera (Group 6), Haustorioides-Urothoe (Group 7) and Cycladicama-Armandia-Minuspio community (Group 8). Some of these communities were classified into substratum-specific (Group 1 to 3) and tidal elevation-specific communities (Group 4). It was difficult to identify the predominant governing agent in Groups 5,6,7 and 8 because of their presence at extreme types of sediment and at uppermost elevations. Mixed effects seemed to act upon the latter four communities (Group 5 to 8). Based on the number of samples, 60% of the target samples were influenced by substratum properties, 20% by tidal elevation effect and 20% by mixed effect of the two factors. From this, it was concluded that substratum properties serve as the most important factors on soft bottom inhabitants in the area studied.

조석현상의 해석에 있어 수치해석모델은 수리모형실험과의 상호보완적인 역할로서 그 중요성이 점차 증가되고 있다. 수리모형실험에는 편방향(coriolis force), 해상의 바람에 의하여 야기되는 응력 및 대기압의 변화 등을 재현시키기 위한 복잡한 발생장치가 필요한 반면, 수치해석모델에서는 이들 요소들을 쉽게 모델 내에 재현시킬 수 있는 이점이 있다. 그러나 광대하고 복잡한 지형으로 이루어진 해역에 세밀한 격자망의 모델을 적용할 경우 막대한 비용과 시간이 요구되고, 이것을 피하기 위하여 격자간격을 크게 하면 안선부근에 심한 왜곡현상이 생기는 단점이 있다. 그러나 앞으로 computer의 용량이 점차 대형화해 가고 계산시간도 단축되어 가고 있으므로 이러한 단점은 점차 해소될 것이다. 여기서는 영국 Hydraulics Research Station의 Sparse Scheme을 이용하여 한국 서해안의 수개 조력발전대상 후보지역에 대한 방조제 설치전후의 조석변화양상을 구하여 보았다.

Endophytic bacterial communities of tidal flat plants antagonistic to oomycete plant pathogens were studied by the isolation of 256 root colonizing endophytic bacteria from surface-disinfected root tissues of six plants ($Rosa$ $rugosa$, $Suaeda$ $maritima$, $Vitex$ $rotundifolia$, $Carex$ $scabrifolia$, $Glehnia$ $littoralis$ and $Elymus$ $mollis$) growing in a tidal flat area of Namhae Island, Korea. To understand the antagonistic potential, an $in$ $vitro$ antagonistic assay was performed to characterize and identify strains that were antagonistic to the oomycete plant pathogens $Phytophthora$ $capsici$ and $Pythium$ $ultimum$ from the total population. Nine percent of the total number of isolated bacteria exhibited in vitro inhibitory activity against target plant pathogenic oomycetes. Taxonomic and phylogenetic placement of the antagonistic bacteria was investigated by analysis of the 16S rRNA gene sequences. The sequence analysis classified the antagonistic strains into four major classes of the domain bacteria ($Firmicutes$, ${\alpha}-Proteobacteria$, ${\gamma}-Proteobacteria$ and $Actinomycetes$) and 10 different genera. Further production of secondary metabolites, hydrolytic enzymes and plant growth promoting traits were determined for the putative new species of antagonistic endophytic bacteria. These new strains could not be identified as known species of ${\alpha}-Proteobacteria$, and so may represent novel bacterial taxa. The unexpected high antagonistic bacterial diversity associated with the tidal flat plants may be indicative of their importance in tidal flat plants as a promising source of novel antimicrobial compounds and biocontrol agents.
