This study investigated changes of hydrology, soil characteristics, riparian vegetation communities, and geomorphology in sandbars before and after sand-mining to determine the effect of sand-mining at upstream of Guemgang and Bochungcheon streams in Korea. Sand-mining events affected the mining area. They supplied organic matters and nutrients during flood. Sediment deposition caused soil texture change and expansion of vegetation area. However, riverbeds were stabilized after the disturbance. According to the analyses of aerial photographs, the vegetation area was significantly expanded in both dam-regulated streams and dam-unregulated streams after sand-mining. Willow shrubs advanced in disturbed area at an average of 10 years after sand-mining. It took willows trees 10.6 years to become dominant communities. Therefore, it took a total of 20.6 years for new riparian forest to form in sandbar after sand-mining. Our results confirmed that stream flow condition were dependent on vegetation recruitment in dam-regulated streams and dam-unregulated streams. For willow recruitment in unregulated streams, calculation of water level below dimensionless bed shear stress is important because low water level variation is a limiting factor of vegetation recruitment.

This study aimed to identify the initial migratory macroinvertebrate species in two newly created mountain wetlands. To analyze the initial immigration species of macroinvertebrates, two experimental sites and two control sites were selected after habitat creation and investigated thrice from spring to fall. Benthic macroinvertebrates were collected quantitatively from each site using a Surber sampler and Modified D-frame deep net. After restoration at the two experimental sites, the number of macroinvertebrate species and individuals gradually increased from spring to fall and continued to increase over time with the development of waterside vegetation and habitat stabilization at the experimental sites. The species initially introduced to mountain wetlands after their creation were Ephemera strigata, Ephemera orientalis, Chironomidae sp., and Aquaris paludum. Subsequently, predators such as Davidius lunatus, Sieboldius albardae, Oyamia nigribasis, and Sialis longidens were introduced. Additionally, as a differentiating physicochemical factor between the two habitats, current velocity, which determines the distribution characteristics of benthic macroinvertebrates, and water temperature, which impacts the growth of organisms, showed a relatively stronger influence.

산불로 식생이 전소한 소나무림은 덤불이 우거진 초지로의 식생변화가 일어난다. 그러나 산불 당년에는 인접한 소나무림에 서식하는 곤충들이 이입할 가능성이 높아 초지와 덤불로 구성된 산불피해 임지에 산림성 곤충이 일시적으로 득세할 가능성이 있다. 본 연구는 산불 후 1년 동안 피해지에 산림곤충들이 이입하는 현상을 관찰하기 위해 1996년 대형산불이 발생한 강원도의 고성지역에서 피해지와 인접한 소나무 숲에서 딱정벌레류의 발생상황을 비교 조사하였다. 산불지는 60종 381개체, 비산불지는 63종 370개체가 채집되어 차이가 없었다. 피해지에서 출현된 딱정벌레 중 개체수가 비교적 많았던 종들은 대부분 인접 산림에서도 채집되었고, 계절별 채집양상이 산불지와 비산불지가 비슷하여 산불초기에 활발한 곤충의 이입을 나타내었다. 서식처별로는 지표보다는 식생에 서식하는 딱정벌레류의 이입이 활발하였다.
