  • This study presents the impact of natural flow patterns on downstream fish habitat and economic outcomes in the Dal Stream, Korea. The study reach is 3.35 km long, located downstream form the Goesan Dam. To assess such impact, this study performed physical habitat simulations. The River2D model was used for the computation of the flow and the HSI model for the habitat simulation. Two physical habitat variables, flow depth and velocity, were used. The Zacco platypus, Zacco temminckii, Coreoleuciscus splendidus, and Opsariichthys bidens were selected as the target species in the study area. Using the building block approach (BBA), the scenarios for the hydropeaking mitigation were presented. Scenario 1 and scenario 2 were proposed by using the magnitude - duration concept and averaged the hydrologic data over the each month, respectively. Simulation results indicated that the scenarios effects significantly increased by about 18.6% for the weighted usable area (WUA). In addition, hydroelectric power benefits with both scenarios were investigated. It was revealed that the change of storing and releasing water decreased by about 27% for hydroelectric power benefits. In order to increase economic benefits, the scenario was modified with the discharges corresponding to the hydropeaking condition except the flood season. As a result, the hydroelectric power benefits were almost the same, however the aquatic habitat for the target species increased by about 5%. The change of dam re-operations through natural flow patterns provides an opportunity to minimize environmental and economic benefits in order to balance water management.

  • 인간활동으로 인해 서식처의 변화, 서식처의 파편화를 비롯하여 기후변화, 토지이용의 변화 등으로 생태계 생물 다양성은 빠르게 손실되고있는 상황이다. 최근 들어 유역의 건전성을 확보하기 위해 유역관리 차원에서 접근하려는 시도가 시작되었으나 어떠한 수단을 통해 생물다양성과 서식처 관리에 대하여 접근할 수 있는지에 대한 연구는 아직 부족한 실정이다. 본 연구의 목적은 금강유역을 대상으로 Integrated Valuation of Ecosystem Services and Tradeoffs (InVEST) habitat quality model을 이용하여 유역의 서식처 질을 평가하는 것이다. 서식처 평가결과는 생태·자연도 및 수생태 건전성 평가결과와의 비교분석을 통해 검증되었다. 금강유역의 서식처 질은 0.0 ~ 0.86으로 분석되었으며, 유역의 하류보다 상류에서 서식처 질이 더 높은 것으로 나타났다. 생태·자연도 등급별 평균 서식처 질을 비교한 결과 1등급, 2등급, 3등급에서 각각 0.80, 0.76, 0.71이었다. 수생태 건전성 결과와의 상관성 분석결과 R2은 0.58, Pearson 상관계수는 0.76 였다. 본 연구의 결과는 향후 서식처 보호의 강화와 장기적인 생물 다양성 관련 정책의 실행을 지원하는 기초자료로 활용될 수 있다.

  • 본 연구에서는 도심구간 하천의 수생식물을 대상으로 흐름에 대한 대응양상 판단 및 식재영역 결정을 목표로 하였다. 수생식물로서 달뿌리풀, 갈대, 물억새, 개여뀌 및 고마리를 선정하고 흐름의 유속과 수심 및 식생의 성장도에 대하여 대응 분석하여 상기 수생식물의 식재영역을 결정하였다. 수생식물의 대응은 일반적으로 흐름에 대하여 안정, 회복, 훼손 및 유실로 구분되었다. 현지 조사 결과 수생식물의 회복과 훼손 정도는 식생의 휘어짐 각도를 기준으로 대략 $30^{\circ}{\sim}50^{\circ}$의 범위에서 구분되었다. 식생은 달뿌리풀, 갈대, 물억새, 개여뀌 순으로 흐름에 대한 대응력이 컸다. 달뿌리풀은 뿌리의 강한 고착력으로 수심이 0.9 m에서 유속 1.5 m/s까지 대응력이 강했다. 갈대는 수심 1.0 m와 유속 0.9 m/s 범위 내에서 흐름에 대응 가능하였다. 물억새는 대체적으로 수심 1.0 m와 유속 0.6 m/s 이하가 식재 가능 영역으로 제한된 식재 범위를 나타내었다. 개여뀌나 고마리는 흐름에 대한 대응력이 보다 약하며, 수심이 1.0 m를 넘는 경우 유속이 조금만 커져도 생존이 어려웠다. 상기 결과를 이용하여 수생식물 각 수종별 식재영역을 제시하였다.

  • Sediment transport around artificial habitat which is induced by the change ol flow due to installation of the structure plays a role not only as a defect function of subsidence and burial but also bottom-environment control function. This study examined the characteristics of local scouring and deposition with sediment sizes, current velocities and installation direction of artificial habitat in flow field. Resultant subsidence and burial processes are investigated and discussed with Reynolds number. Together with sediment number and dimensionless time elapse, prediction formulas are established by combining these relationships. Bottom control function as cultivating effects is discussed with installation direction, and applicability of countermeasures is compared and stone pavement method is recommended.

  • Intertidal macroalgae are exposed to many abiotic stress factors, and they must regularly react to changes in their environment. We used RNA-seq to describe how Porphyra umbilicalis (Rhodophyta) changes gene expression patterns to interact with different habitats. Tissue samples were taken from a typical habitat along the open-coast of the Northwest Atlantic, as well as from a rare, atypical habitat in an estuarine tidal rapid environment. Differential gene expression analyses suggest that pathogic bacteria and viruses may be a significant factor influencing the transcriptome in the human-impacted estuarine environment, but the atypical habitat does not necessarily induce more stress in Porphyra umbilicalis growing there. We found genes related to nitrogen transport are over-expressed in tissue from the open-coastal site compared to those from the estuarine site, where environmental N levels approach hypertrophic levels. Low N levels impede growth, but high levels are toxic to cells, and we use qPCR to show this species regulates expression of a putative high-affinity $NH_4{^+}$ transporter under low and high N conditions. Differences in expression of this transporter in these habitats appear to be inherited from parent to offspring and have general implications for adaptation to habitat in other species that are capable of asexual reproduction, as well as more specific implications for this species' use in aquaculture.

  • With characteristics of river continuum, stream ecosystems have diverse components and environments from upstream channel to estuarine area. Therefore, the habitat requirements and composition of conservative object should be well understood before applying any improvement measure. In this paper, the causes of stream habitat changes were first illustrated with the categories and principles of habitat restoration methods. The structural restoration techniques of fish habitat improvement utilized by the authors or one three-year research project starting at 1990 were then presented. Through the introductions on the project background, planning guidelines, structure design, and ecological evaluation, this paper tried to provide some effective examples of stream restoration practices that ecological expert was invited for cooperation and advising.

  • This paper discusses a methodology where an integrated modelling framework is used to quantify the risk derived from anthropic activities on habitats and species. To achieve this purpose, a tool comprising the Delft3D and HABITAT model, was applied in the Yeongsan river. Delft3D effectively simulated the operational condition and flow of weirs in river. In accuracy evaluation of the Delft3D-FLOW, the Bias, Pbias, Mean Absolute Error (MAE), Nash-Sutcliffe Efficiency (NSE), and Index of Agreement (IOA) were used, and the result was evaluated as grade above 'Satisfactory'. The HABITAT calculated Habitat Suitability Value (HSV) for the following eight species: mammal, fish, aquatic plant, and benthic macroinvertebrate. An Area was defined as a suitable habitat if the HSV was larger than 0.5. HABITAT was judged accurately by measuring the Correct Classification rate (CCR) and the area under the ROC curve (AUC). For benthic macroinvertebrate, the CCR and AUC were 77% and 0.834, respectively, at thresholds of 0.017 and 4 inds/m2 for HSV and individuals per unit area. This meant that the HABITAT model accurately predicted the appearance of the benthic macroinvertebrates by approximately 77% and that the probability of false alarms was also very low. As a result of evaluating the suitability of habitats, in the Yeongsan river, if the annual "lowest level" (Seungchon weir: 2.5 EL.m/ Juksan weir: -1.35 EL.m) was maintained, the average habitat improvement effect of 6.5%P compared to the 'reference' scenario was predicted. Consequently, it was demonstrated that the integrated modelling framework for habitat suitability assessment is able to support the remedy aquatic ecological management.

  • This study was conducted to make a biotop planning and construct 3 types of biotop by each site conditions. Three sites of different types in ecological and scenery conservation area of the Dong-gang river were selected by expert brain-storming process and constructed terrestrial biotops and aquatic biotops. Targets of 3 sites were set up such as constructing a habitat for Kaloula borealis and an ecological education place, building a terrestrial biotopes and monitoring the natural vegetation succession, and constructing a habitat for Luciola unmunsana Doi. The study results can be applied hereafter to ecological restoration projects, after construction of habitat, the priority should be prepare measures of monitoring and maintenance, hereafter continuous study on ecological restoration should be performed actively through construction of biotope and wild animals and plants habitat.
