We discovered a halacarid mite species, Isobactrus tuberculatus Abé, 1996, inhabiting marine plastic debris on the coast of Jeju Island, Korea. The key characteristics of these Korean specimens were consistent with those in the original description of specimens from Hokkaido, Japan, including the presence of tuberculate membranous cuticles between the anterior and posterior dorsal plates, fusion of the posterior epimeral plates I and II, tibia II with a bipectinate seta, tibiae III and IV each with five setae, and a pair of subgenital setae in females. However, two small morphological differences were noted: the distance between the anterior and posterior dorsal plates was shorter than that in Japanese specimens, and the location of dorsal seta-2 was closer to the anterior dorsal plate in Korean specimens. We herein provide detailed illustrations of I. tuberculatus, based on the Korean specimens, with a brief taxonomic comment on the similarities among allied congeneric species. The genus Isobactrus is first reported in Korea.

Udo Rhodolith Beach is a small-scale, mixed sand-and-gravel beach embayed on the N-S trending rocky coast of Udo, Jeju Island, South Korea. This study analyzes the short-term topographic changes of the beach during the extreme storm conditions of four typhoons from 2016 to 2020: Chaba (2016), Soulik (2018), Lingling (2019), and Maysak (2020). The analysis uses the topographic data of terrestrial LiDAR scanning and drone photogrammetry, aided by weather and oceanographic datasets of wind, wave, current and tide. The analysis suggests two contrasting features of alongshore topographic change depending on the typhoon pathway, although the intensity and duration of the storm conditions differed in each case. During the Soulik and Lingling events, which moved northward following the western sea of the Jeju Island, the northern part of the beach accreted while the southern part eroded. In contrast, the Chaba and Maysak events passed over the eastern sea of Jeju Island. The central part of the beach was then significantly eroded while sediments accumulated mainly at the northern and southern ends of the beach. Based on the wave and current measurements in the nearshore zone and computer simulations of the wave field, it was inferred that the observed topographic change of the beach after the storm events is related to the directions of the wind-driven current and wave propagation in the nearshore zone. The dominant direction of water movement was southeastward and northeastward when the typhoon pathway lay to the east or west of Jeju Island, respectively. As these enhanced waves and currents approached obliquely to the N-S trending coastline, the beach sediments were reworked and transported southward or northward mainly by longshore currents, which likely acts as a major control mechanism regarding alongshore topographic change with respect to Udo Rhodolith Beach. In contrast to the topographic change, the subaerial volume of the beach overall increased after all storms except for Maysak. The volume increase was attributed to the enhanced transport of onshore sediment under the combined effect of storm-induced long periodic waves and a strong residual component of the near-bottom current. In the Maysak event, the raised sea level during the spring tide probably enhanced the backshore erosion by storm waves, eventually causing sediment loss to the inland area.

본 연구는 InVEST(Integrated Valuation of Ecosystem Services and Tradeoff) Offshore Wind 모형을 활용하여 제주도 장선주 인근 해역의 해상풍력 에너지 자원을 평가하였다. 초단기 기상분석 및 예측 시스템(KLAPS)의 재분석 자료를 이용하여 제주도 인근 해역의 풍력밀도를 계산하고 터빈 조성비용, 터빈의 운영 효율, 해저케이블 설치비용, 20년 운영시나리오, 유지관리비 등을 고려하여 168MW 해상풍력 단지를 설치하였을 때의 순현재가치를 산정하였다. 제주도 인근 해역의 풍력밀도 분포도를 통하여 제주도 서쪽해역과 동쪽해역에 높은 풍력자원이 있음을 알 수 있었으며, 대부분의 서측해역과 동측해역은 $400W/m^2$ 이상의 높은 풍력밀도를 보였다. 제주지역 해상풍력발전에 대한 순현재가치를 가시적으로 평가하기 위하여 5등급으로 구분하였으며, $400W/m^2$ 이상의 풍력자원이 존재하는 서측 해역에서 높은 순현재가치를 보였다. InVEST Offshore Wind 모형은 다양한 운영시나리오에 대하여 최적의 공간정보를 신속하게 제공해 줄 수 있으며, 해양생태계서비스 평가 결과와 혼용하여 사용한다면 보다 효율적인 해양공간을 이용할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

Groundwater monitoring is commonly practiced with real-time sensors placed in several depth spots in aquifer. However, this method only provides monitoring data at the point where the sensors are installed. In this study, we developed a vertical line monitoring system (VLMS) that can provide continuous data of groundwater parameters along the vertical depth. The device was installed in a well located on the coast of the eastern part of Jeju island to monitor electrical conductivity, temperature, salinity, pH, dissolved oxygen, and oxidation-reduction potential over approximately 3 months from September 11 to December 3, 2020. The results indicated that the groundwater levels fluctuated with the tidal change of seawater level, and the upper and lower boundaries of the freshwater and saltwater zone in the groundwater were located at below 16 m and 36 m of mean sea level, respectively. There was a large variation in EC values during the high tide and temperature change was the greatest during flow tide. Although further investigation is needed for improvement of the device to obtain more accurate and reliable data, the device has a potential utility to provide fundamental data to understand the seawater intrusion and transport mechanisms in coastal aquifers.

This study analyzed fluctuations of ground water level of ground water wells developed in Seongsan watershed of Jeju Island until 2013 using MODFLOW, a numerical analysis model. Ground water level shows greater fluctuations from increase of pump capacity compared to the number of ground water wells. The development of ground water at the top of watershed was found to have direct influence on ground water level. Ground water wells developed until 2013 were used to continue pumping for 50 days, and ground water level of coastal region was reduced below 50% compared to the standard water level. In addition, the range of fluctuation of water level was large in the east coast region, which represents the direction of flow of ground water.

본 연구에서는 제주도에서 자생하는 준맹그로브인 황근 (Hibiscus hamabo)과 갯대추나무 (Paliurus ramosissimus)의 탄소 저장량을 원격탐사로 추정하고 기후요인에 의하여 공간변이를 예측하는 인공지능 모델을 구축하고자 하였다. 준맹그로브의 지상부 탄소 축적량은 Global Ecosystem Dynamics Investigation (GEDI) 라이다에 의하여 제공되는 지상부 생물량 밀도(aboveground biomass density, AGBD)를 Sentinel-2 영상으로부터 추출한 normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI)으로 해상도를 상향하여 추정하였다. 제주도에서 단위면적당 탄소 축적량은 황근이 16.6 t C/ha, 갯대추나무가 21.1 t C/ha이었다. 제주도 전 해안에서 준맹그로브의 탄소 축적량은 11.5 t C로 추정되었다. 환경요인에 따른 준맹그로브의 탄소 축적량을 예측하기 위하여 랜덤 포레스트 기술을 적용하였다. 제주도 준맹그로브림의 분포면적 대비 지상부 생물량의 잔차를 계산하였다. 이 잔차에 영향을 미치는 주요 환경요인으로는 가장 습한 달의 강수량, 가장 더운 달의 최고온도, 등온성 및 가장 습한 달의 평균 온도가 선정되었다. 제주도에서 랜덤 포레스트 분석으로 예측된 준맹그로브의 탄소 축적량은 12.0 t C/ha - 27.6 t C/ha 범위의 공간적 변이를 나타내었다. 본 연구에서 개발된 탄소 축적량의 원격탐사 추정법과 환경요인에 따른 인공지능 예측법은 한반도에서 탄소흡수원으로서 맹그로브의 보전과 조성에 필요한 기초자료로 활용할 수 있을 것이다.

Greate white sharks, Carcharodon carcharias, are found in almost all the temperate and tropical coastal waters around the world. There have been 19 appearances reported in Korean coastal waters since June 1996 and seven shark attacks have been reported. There are about 400 species of sharks in the world, and 41 species of them have been found in Korean coastal waters. Thirteen of them belong to the Carcharhinidae family, and five of them belong to the Squalidae family. Of these sharks, 15 species of them live off of the East coast, 18 species live off of the West coast, and the other 40 species are distributed around Jeju Island and the South coast. Eleven species of them, including the great white shark, live off of all the coastal waters of Korea.

To select active bacterial strains to control plant diseases, 57 bacterial strains were isolated from the rhizosphere of the plants growing in various areas such as coast, middle and top of Halla Mountain in Jeju Island. Anti-fungal effect of isolated bactrial strains was tested in vitro by incubating in potato dextrose agar with isolates of four fungal plant pathogens Rhizoctonia solani, Fusarium oxysporum, Colletotrichum gloeosporioides and C. orbiculare, respectively. Thirty-four bacterial strains inhibited the hyphal growth of the plant pathogens, from which 17 strains inhibited one of the tested fungi, 10 strains two fungi, six strains three and a strain TRL2-3 inhibited all of the tested fungi. Some bacterial strains could inhibit weakly the hyphal growth of the plant pathogens, whereas some did very strongly with apparent inhibition zone between the plant pathogens and bacterial strains indicating the unfavorable condition for hyphal growth. Although there was no apparent inhibition zone, some bacterial strains showed a strong suppression of hyphal growth of plant pathogens. Especially, the inhibition by TRL2-3 was remarkably strong in all cases of the tested plant pathogens in this study that could be a possible candidate for biological control of various plant diseases.
