The community structure of meiobenthos was studied at 16 stations within sandy tidal and subtidal zones in Jangbongdo in the Yellow Sea, Korea from Aug. 2006 to Jan. 2007. Meiobenthic organisms were collected by three core samples, with a 3.6 cm diameter, from each sediment sample taken with a Smith-McIntyre Grab. Mean grain size of study stations ranged from $1.49{\phi}$ to $3.55{\phi}$. Composition of sand ranged from 80.38% to 99.89%. There was reduction in total abundance and biomass of meiobenthos from summer to winter. Total densities of meiofauna ranged between 17 inds./10 $cm^2$ and 853 inds./10 $cm^2$. Nematodes, gastrotricha, nauplius and harpacticoids appeared as major taxa in decreasing order. This study shows that major taxa comprised 90 percent of total abundance. Most meiofaunal organisms are concentrated in the upper sediment layers and the total abundance and biomass of organisms in the tidal zone is higher than the subtidal zone.

The purpose of this study is to improve the stream water quality by the experimental hybrid constructed wetland system. It consisted of the water layer, sand bed planted reeds, irises and roses, gravel bed, yellow-soil media bed and a flow shifter (FS) which can reverse top and bottom flow in the middle of the wetland. The organic compounds and nitrogen removal efficiencies varied with the seasons, namely temperature change. In summer, the mean efficiencies of COD and TN in the outflow from this wetland system were 63.4 and 48.0% and shown the highest, respectively, whereas, the suspended solids and phosphorus removal efficiencies seemed to be less affected by temperature. As a result of inspecting the decreasing trend of pollutants, nitrification-denitrification in the wetland was the major removal mechanism for nitrogen, the nitrogen reduction was especially enhanced by the application of a FS in the wetland, and phosphorus reduction was mainly occurred as a consequence of adsorption of the yellow-soil media.

The purpose of this study was to characterize background mass concentration of PM$_{10}$ and metallic composition from September 2001 to August 2002 in comparison with Asan and Seoul. Annual mean of PM$_{10}$ concentrations in Asan and Seoul were 47.98 and 75.33$\mu\textrm{g}$/㎥, respectively. The concentrations of PM$_{10}$ were highest in spring season in both cities. The concentrations of measured metals except for As and Pb in Asan were higher than those in Seoul. Yellow dust could affect the mass and metals concentrations of measured PM$_{10}$ in Asan and Seoul. Relationship between measured metals concentrations showed that Si and Fe were associated with natural sources such as soil. Pb, Cu and Zn were closely related to urban anthropogenic sources such as fuel combustion. Especially, relationship between metals showed different association during yellow dust. Proper management for PM$_{10}$ will need in Asan, considered the concentrations of metallic elements in PM$_{10}$ in Asan were relatively higher than those in Seoul.se in Seoul.

A three year's field experiment was carried out on newly reclaimed tidal saline soils to evaluate the salt tolerance and growht characteristics, and their relationship to dry matter production and nutrient quality of main selected pasture species. Nine temperate grasses (14 varieties) and two forage crops (sorghum and pearl millet) were grown under different mulching treatments with medium sand and red-yellow soils (fine loamy materials of Typic Hapludults) from 1986 to 1988. Tall wheatgrass, tall fescue, reed canarygrass and alfalfa showed a good tolerance to soil salinity, especially tall wheatgrass (cv. Alkar) produced 19.6 ton/ha dry matter yield annualy under mulching treatment with medium sand depth in lcm. Pearl millet (cv. Gahi-3) was also evaluated as a salt tolerable forage species. Under salt stress in newly reclaimed tidal lands, plant showed a decrease in the assimirable leaf area (LA) as well as specific leaf area (SP. LA) and a low leaf weight ratio(LWR), and it resulted in a low concentration of crude protein and low digestible dry matter contents. Absorption of macro and micro elements in the plant on tidal lands was increased markedly.

To identify sand crab Ovalipes punctatus populations and establish management units for each population, mtDNA COI regions were analyzed. As a result, the clade of O. punctatus in Korea were separated by two with a genetic distance of 0.17-2.08%, and there was no significant difference in the result of pairwise FST values representing genetic differentiation by sampling areas (p > 0.05). Also, no geographical separation found in the distribution of haplotypes and the results of the haplotype network. This result suggests that O. punctatus larvae were dispersed for a long time by the ocean current by suffering meroplanktonic period for 1 month, and increased the gene flow due to the development of the swimming legs for the increase in mobility. Therefore, in the results of mtDNA COI region analysis of O. punctatus in the East Sea, Yellow Sea, South Sea and East China Sea (Ieodo) of Korea, no clear intra-species differentiation was found.

입자상 물질은 폐렴으로 인한 사망률을 증가시키며, 호흡기 및 심혈관계 질환과 관련된 외래환자 수를 증가시키고, 천식 증상을 악화시키며, 폐 기능 저하 둥을 유발한다고 알려져 있다(U.S.EPA, 2001). 황사는 발원지의 기상 및 토양상태에 따라 다르지만 한반도와 일본에서 관측된 황사의 크기는 1-10$\mu\textrm{m}$ 정도이며 중금속 성분 등 오염물질이 포함되어 있어, 시정악화, 농작물 및 활엽수의 생육장애, 인체 호흡기관으로 깊숙이 침투하여 폐 질환 유발 및 안 질환 등을 유발시켜 대기환경을 오염시킬 뿐만 아니라 인체에도 매우 유해하다.

During a survey of sand-burrowing amphipods, a phoxocephalid species, Parametaphoxus asiaensis (Hirayama, 1992), was found on the tidal flat of Yellow Sea and Jeju Island, Korea. The genus Parametaphoxus is reported for the first time in the Korean fauna. In this paper, we describe and illustrate the species, P. asiaensis of the family Phoxocephalidae in detail.

Two new species of Amanita were collected in central areas of Korea from 1997 to 2000. They were identified, described and illustrated. One of them, Amanita longstipeta has turtle-shaped warts of crust and its base is longer under the soil than is above the soil. The other A. aureofarinosa is covered with golden yellow farina and annulus is absent. Both are solitary in soil with sand.

황사는 대개 봄철 중국 대륙이 건조해지면서 중국 북부 사막 등의 흙먼지가 강한 상승기류를 타고 편서풍을 따라 우리 나라까지 날아오는 현상이다. 황사가 발생하면 시정이 떨어질 뿐 아니라 대기의 오염원으로 작용하여 질병을 유발시키기도 한다. 특히 황사로 인한 대기 중의 에어로졸 농도 증가는 지표에 도달하는 직달 일사량을 감소시켜 에어로졸의 광학적 두께에 영향을 준다. (중략)
