  • Coral reefs are among the most dynamic and various ecosystems on tropical ecosystem. They provide a large number of important ecosystem services. Despite their importance, they appear to be one of the most susceptible marine ecosystems. Dramatic decreasing of coral reefs has been reported from every part of the world. Indonesia contains 18% of coral reefs of world's total. Unfortunately the status of coral reefs in Indonesia is already in critical and poor condition. Coral reefs communities in Indonesia are subjected to a variety of environmental disturbance. Threats to Indonesia's coral reefs resources can be divided into two main types: anthropogenic and natural disturbances. The major anthropogenic disturbances on coral reefs in Indonesia are destructive fishing, pollution, coastal development, mining and harvesting live fish and coral, tourism. The natural disturbances such as cyclones, volcanic eruptions, earthquakes, tsunami and predator also contribute to coral reefs destruction in Indonesia. In my paper I tried to compare between natural and anthropogenic disturbances on coral reefs in Indonesia and raised these questions: (i) how the natural disturbances differ from anthropogenic area (ii) which type of disturbances has caused the greatest impact on coral reef ecosystem. My finding is that both of anthropogenic and natural disturbances give major impact on coral reefs in Indonesia. The important issue here is coral reef resilience could be disturbed by synergistic effects between various anthropogenic and natural disturbances. This phenomenon has significant conservation and management implication. The appropriate management should be conducted to protect coral reefs ecosystem in Indonesia. Mangrove management will succeed only when local people are involved and get sustainable benefits from mangrove ecosystem. Community based management and Integrated Coastal Zone Management (ICZM) are type of management that can be applied on coral reef ecosystems in Indonesia.

  • 정부는 기후변화로 인하여 변화하고 있는 해양생태계를 보전하기 위해 노력하고 있다. 이와 관련하여 정부는 해양생태계를 보전하고 관리하기 위하여 보호대상해양생물 77종을 지정하여 특별히 관리하고 있다. 산호의 경우 해양생태계를 예측할 수 있는 중요한 생물군 중 하나이며, 해양생물에게는 서식지를 제공하는 매우 중요한 역할을 하고 있다. 인간의 다양한 활동으로 인해 산호는 위협받고 있으며, 이에 대한 보전과 관리가 시급하다. 따라서 산호의 가치를 평가하여 이해하는 것은 정책 입안자 및 일반 대중 모두에게 산호의 지속적인 관리의 혜택을 입증 할 수 있는 효과적인 방법이 될 수 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 조건부 가치측정법을 적용하여, 국내 대표 산호군락지인 문섬 등 주변해역 생태계보호구역 내 산호군락지의 보전가치를 평가해보고자 한다. 이를 위해 전국 1,000가구를 대상으로 일대일 개별면접을 실시하여, 문섬 등 주변해역 생태계보호구역 내 산호군락지의 보전을 위한 대중의 지불의사를 평가하였다. 질문법으로 1.5경계 양분선택형 모형을 활용하였으며, 0의 WTP를 처리하기 위해 스파이크 모델을 적용하였다. 그 결과 문섬 등 주변해역 생태계보호 구역 내 산호군락지의 보전을 위한 가구당 연간 평균 WTP는 3,016원이었으며, 유의수준 1 %에서 통계적으로 유의했다. 이 값을 모집단 전체로 확장하면, 문섬 등 주변해역 생태계보호구역 내 산호군락지의 보전가치가 연간 589억원으로 계산된다. 본 연구는 산호군락지 보전을 위해 국민들이 상당한 금액을 기꺼이 지불 할 의향이 있다고 판단하였다.

  • Rural communities have been isolated from social and economic changes underway in the broader society. Trends towed an urbanized society have depopulated many rural areas (Flora, et al, 1992). The South Korean government has targeted efforts toward an urban centered economic development policy, which has neglected the rural areas. The South Korean government also has indoctrinated rural community development with a quick-fix approach. Self-directed economic organizations based in rural South Korea began to emerge in the late 1980s. Since the 1980s, South Korean agricultural sectors have been overshadowed by globalism. McMichael (1996) stated that rural communities have two options. A immunity should either End its niche (i.e. the commodities or products that can have advantages in the international trade market) or protest against globalism to survive if rural communities fail to find a niche under globalism. South Korean neat communities did not have enough natural resources nor enough money to invest for their rural community economic development programs. These limitations made it difficult for South Korean coral communities to compete in a global economic environment. Israel, Coleman, and Ilvento (1993) stated that local leadership is a critical component in the ability of communities to respond to lang-standing problems and emerging needs. Swinth and Alexander (1990) asserted that rural leaders are critical actors in rural community development. Whether rural communities succeed in finding their niche or not, the role of rural community leaders is important for rural communities to find ways to cope in the international agriculture market.

  • This paper aims at an investigation of the features of bacterial communities in surface sediments of the South China Sea (SCS). In particular, biogeographical distribution patterns and the phylogenetic diversity of bacteria found in sediments collected from a coral reef platform, a continental slope, and a deep-sea basin were determined. Bacterial diversity was measured by an observation of 16S rRNA genes, and 18 phylogenetic groups were identified in the bacterial clone library. Planctomycetes, Deltaproteobacteria, candidate division OP11, and Alphaproteobacteria made up the majority of the bacteria in the samples, with their mean bacterial clones being 16%, 15%, 12%, and 9%, respectively. By comparison, the bacterial communities found in the SCS surface sediments were significantly different from other previously observed deep-sea bacterial communities. This research also emphasizes the fact that geographical factors have an impact on the biogeographical distribution patterns of bacterial communities. For instance, canonical correspondence analyses illustrated that the percentage of sand weight and water depth are important factors affecting the bacterial community composition. Therefore, this study highlights the importance of adequately determining the relationship between geographical factors and the distribution of bacteria in the world's seas and oceans.

  • The ectomycorrhizal roots were collected from the soils around the bases of basidiocarps of the four edible mushrooms in the stands of Pinus densiflora or Querus acutissima communities (Mt. Wol-Ak in Eastern Chung-Puk): The basidiocarps of Tricholoma matsutake (TM), Sarcodon asparatus (SA), S. imbricatum (SI), and Polyozellus multiplex (PM) are usually collected. The ectomycorrhizal roots of TM, PM and SI were related to the roots of P. densiflora, but the other to the roots of Q. acutissima in Korea. Particularly, the basidiocarps of PM were collected in the mixed stand of both P. densiflora and Q. acutissima. The morphologies of the ectomycorrhizal roots were observed to be the yellowish brown coral (dichromatous) or pyramid types in the roots of the pine, but dark brown un-branched sticks (roots) in the ends of ectomycorrhizal roots of Querus plants. The un-branched roots were covered with the dark mycelia (rhizomorph) around them. Therefore, the ectomyorrhizal roots of PM were observed to have two kinds of types; The single blackish un-branched roots were observed to be attached to the yellowish coral type roots. The bundles of TM mycelia were filled with cortical cells (in the roots of P. densiflora), but the mycelia of the other fungi (Aphylloporales) were massed between the cortical cells of P. densiflora or Q. acutissima. Their anatomical and gross features were considered to be simailar but very important in the ectomycorrhizal roots for these edible mushrooms.

  • Agricultural extension programs in Korea had focused mainly on increased production, and the biggest pride of extension was the achievement of rice self-sufficency in 1970s and abundant vegetable and animal production in 1980s. Farming in Korea has changed rapidly in recent years and extension system on commercialized crops have not been satisfactorily developed to mete farmers` demands. Facing the emerging challenges of international competition and trade liberalization for agricultural commodities, the goals of extension should be focused on increased income and the welfare of coral communities. The transfering of agricultural extension educator from central government jobs to local ones has emerged recently under the trends of localization which resulted unstable job environment of extension educator. Intensive pre-service and in-service training of extension workers on current and advanced techologies are essential to upgrade the quality of extension services, and the future directions for professional development of agricultural extension educators in Korea were suggested as follows: 1. Establishing a national network on agricultural extension system to promote exchanges of information among counties and provinces, to conduct meetings and to publish information on agricultural extension. 2. Determining the implications of recent national and global trends on agricultural extension, and strenthening communication at local, national and international levels for an effective extension system in the era of localization, internationalization and globalization; 3. Recognizing the effect of number and quality of extension staff on the impact of extension and providing opportunities development and advancement of extension personnel through education, training, incentives and rewards; 4. Giving a higher priority to agricultural extension in national policies in order to ensure the adequacy of budgetary support and recognition of importance of extension by the ministries concerned and mass communications.

  • The diversity of culturable non-actinobacterial (NA) bacteria associated with four species of South China Sea gorgonians was investigated using culture-dependent methods followed by analysis of the bacterial 16S rDNA sequence. A total of 76 bacterial isolates were recovered and identified, which belonged to 21 species of 7 genera, and Bacillus was the most diverse genus. Fifty-one percent of the 76 isolates displayed antibacterial activities, and most of them belonged to the Bacillus genus. From the culture broth of gorgonian-associated Bacillus methylotrophicus SCSGAB0092 isolated from gorgonian Melitodes squamata, 11 antimicrobial lipopeptides including seven surfactins and four iturins were obtained. These results imply that Bacillus strains associated with gorgonians play roles in coral defense mechanisms through producing antimicrobial substances. This study, for the first time, compares the diversity of culturable NA bacterial communities among four species of South China Sea gorgonians and investigates the secondary metabolites of gorgonian-associated B. methylotrophicus SCSGAB0092.

  • 자리돔과(Teleostei: Pomacentridae) 어류는 열대 및 아열대 해역에 널리 분포하고 있으며 특히 산호해역의 해양생물 군락을 이루는 주요구성 어류이다. 현재 우리나라에는 본과에 5종이 분포하는 것으로 알려져 있는데 본 논문에서는 genus Chromis와 Dascyllus 2속을 대상으로 분자계통학적 위치를 규명하는데 그 목적이 있다. 분자계통분석에서 일본산 D. aruanus는 계통도상에서 폴리네시아산 D. aruanus와 함께 유집되었고, 우리나라의 Chromis fumea는 호주의 C. nitida와 함께 유집되었으며, 두 종간의 유전적 거리를 표시하는 P 값은 0.047로 상대적으로 매우 낮았다. 우리나라의 C. notatus는 뉴칼레도니아산 C. flavomaculata와 함께 유집되었는데, 특히 제주의 D. melanurus와 인도-태평양의 D. melanurus 사이에는 유전자 염기서열의 차이가 전혀 관찰되지 않았다. 그러나 이 두 지역의 D. melanurs와 인도네시아의 D. melanurus간에는 한개의 염기서열 차이가 있었다. 일본산 Dascyllus aruanus의 염기서열은 폴리네시아산 Dascyllus aruanus와 2개의 염기서열 차이가 있었고, 한국산 Chromis fumea와 C. notatus 사이에는 다소 많은 수의 염기서열 차이가 있었다. 본 논문에서 도입한 미토콘드리아 cytochrome DNA의 염기서열 정보 및 분석은 이 유전자가 종 수준에서 뿐만 아니라 지역집단의 구분 및 확인을 위한 DNA 바코드로서 이용될 수 있음을 보여준다.
