The ecological distribution of endomycorrhizas in evergreen woody species native to the evergreen forest ecosystem of Tadohae-haesang National Park in southern Korea in February, 1989 was studied. The abundance and diversity of vesicular-arbuscular (VA) mycorrhizal fungi were also determined. The spore densities ranged from 14 to 326 per 100 g of soil. Most of the spores of mycorrhizal fungi collected from 25 soil samples belonged to the genera Glomus and Gigaspora. The frequency and number of spores in Camellia japonica varied with location. Spores belonging to the genus Gigaspora were not found in Camellia japonica in Yesongri evergreen forests adjacent to the sea. Glomus sp. was the major constituent of the spore assemblage at this site. The most abundant species in Camellia japonica in the Yesongri evergreen forests in Pogildo was Glomus borealis. In the soil of a mountain at Buwhangri, in the central location of the island at an elevation of 250 m, Gigaspora sp. was present and Glomus sp. was a major constituent of the spore assemblage. In the urban area of Haenam spore densities were much higher than in the Pogildo area. The most abundant species in Camellia japonica in the urban area of Haenam was Gigaspora sp..

The probability distribution of ichthyoplankton is important for enhancing the precision of sampling while reducing unnecessary surveys. To estimate the ichthyoplankton detection proportion (IDP) and its margin of error (ME), the monitoring information of the chub mackerel's (Scomber japonicus) ichthyoplankton presence-absence sampling data has been were collected over approximately 30 years (from 1982 to 2011) in the Korean coastal seas. Based on the computed spatial distributions of the mackerel's IDP and ME, the confidence interval (CI) range, defined as 2 ME, decreases from approximately 80% to 40% as the sample size n increases from 4 to 24 and the ME is approximately 40% in the typical (seasonal survey) case n = 4 per year. The IDP and ME off Jeju Island are relatively high at the 0.5-degree smoothing level. After increasing the spatial smoothing level to 1.0-degree, the ME decreased, and the spatial distribution pattern also changed due to the over-smoothing effects. In this study, the 0.5-degree smoothing is more suitable for the distribution pattern than the 1.0-degree smoothing level. The area of the high IDP and the low ME on the mackerel's ichthyoplankton was similar to the estimated spawning ground in the Korean peninsula. This information could contribute to enhancing for the spawning ecology surveys.

기후 변화가 심해짐에 따라 한반도의 기후 또한 온대에서 아열대로 변화하고 있다. 기후대가 변하게 되면 수문학적 순환 및 식생의 분포 또한 달라지게 된다. 식생의 분포는 결국 토지 이용을 의미하며, 서로 다른 토지 이용은 대기와의 상호작용을 통해 각기 다른 반응을 보이게 된다. 본 연구에서는 기후대가 가장 빠르게 변화하고 있는 제주도를 대상으로 기후 변화 및 토지 이용 변화에 따른 생태수문학적 영향을 Ecosystem Demography Model version 2.2(ED-2.2) 모형을 사용하여 살펴 본다. 제주도의 플럭스 타워 및 산림 조사 자료를 활용하여 ED-2.2 모형을 검증하였다. CRU-NCEP 기상자료 및 Land-Use Harmonization (LUH) 토지이용자료를 활용하여 과거기간(1500~2015)의 잠재 식생 및 실제 식생 상태를 산정하고 그 차이를 분석하였다. 산정된 최종 실제 식생 상태를 바탕으로 기후 및 토지이용 시나리오(RCP 3.0 및 6.0)를 적용하고, 다양한 전지구모형(GFDL-ESM2M, HadGEM2-ES, IPSL-CM5A-LR, MIROC5)의 기상자료에 따라 물 순환, 탄소 순환 및 식생의 분포가 어떻게 달라지는 지 분석한다.

Background: This study was conducted from March 2011 to February 2013 in order to evaluate the ecosystem value by examining the organic carbon distribution and cycling in the Quercus glauca forest, evergreen oak community at Seonheul-Gotjawal, Jeju Island. Results: The amount of organic carbon distribution was $124.5ton\;C\;ha^{-1}$ in 2011 and $132.63ton\;C\;ha^{-1}$ in 2012 for aboveground biomass. And it was $31.13ton\;C\;ha^{-1}$ in 2011 and $33.16ton\;C\;ha^{-1}$ in 2012 for belowground biomass. In total, the amount of organic carbon distribution in plants was 155.63 and $165.79ton\;C\;ha^{-1}$ in 2011 and 2012, respectively. In 2011 and 2012 respectively, the amount of organic carbon distribution was 3.61 and $6.39ton\;C\;ha^{-1}$ in the forest floor and it was 78.89 and $100.71ton\;C\;ha^{-1}$ in the soil. As shown, most carbon was distributed in plants. Overall, the amount of organic carbon distribution of the Q. glauca forest was $238.13ton\;C\;ha^{-1}$ in 2011 and $272.89ton\;C\;ha^{-1}$ in 2012. In 2011, the amount of organic carbon fixed in plants through photosynthesis (NPP) was $14.22ton\;C\;ha^{-1}\;year^{-1}$ and the amount of carbon emission of soil respiration was $16.77ton\;C\;ha^{-1}\;year^{-1}$. The net ecosystem production (NEP) absorbed by the Q. glauca forest from the atmosphere was $5ton\;C\;ha^{-1}\;year^{-1}$. Conclusions: The carbon storage value based on such organic carbon distribution was estimated about $23.81mil\;won\;ha^{-1}$ in 2011 and $27.29mil\;won\;ha^{-1}$ in 2012, showing an annual increment of carbon storage value by $3.48mil\;won\;ha^{-1}$. The carbon absorption value based on such NEP was estimated about $500,000won\;ha^{-1}\;year^{-1}$.

본 연구는 제 3차 전국자연환경조사 결과를 토대로 흰물떼새(Charadrius alexandrinus)의 시 공간적 분포현황과 흰물떼새가 선호하는 서식지 유형을 분석하였다. 2006년부터 2012년까지 흰물떼새는 전국 824 도엽 중 97개 도엽(약 11.8%)에서 기록되었고 주로 서해안과 남해안의 해안선을 따라 집중 분포하였다. 또한, 일부 동해안과 내륙의 주요 강(한강, 금강, 낙동강, 섬진강, 영산강) 주변, 제주도의 동쪽과 서쪽 해안선 일대와 대청도에서 관찰되었다. 주요 관찰된 시기는 봄철 이동시기와 번식기, 가을철 이동시기이며 환경부 중분류 토지피복 분석 결과 수역과 습지의 넓이가 흰물떼새의 서식에 유의한 영향을 미쳤다. 환경부 세분류 토지피복의 연안습지 면적 분석 결과 흰물떼새가 관찰된 도엽의 대부분(약 90%)에는 연안습지가 형성되어 있었고, 연안습지의 형성여부가 흰물떼새의 분포에 통계적으로 유의한 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 흰물떼새는 서식지의 변화에 따라 번식지를 이동하며, 서식지 환경변화에 민감한 것으로 알려져 있다. 따라서 흰물떼새는 생물지표 기준으로서 연안습지 지역의 서식지 환경의 변화와 관련이 있고 시기별 개체수 산정이 가능하기 때문에 우리나라 조간대 연안의 생태적 가치를 판단하는 지표종으로 활용할 만한 가치가 있는 것으로 판단된다.

본 연구는 제주도 지역에서 처음 발견된 점개구리밥의 분포와 서식생물상에 대한 점개구리밥의 위해성을 평가하기 위해, 제주도 내 43개 습지 및 하천에서 환경요인과 서식생물상을 조사하였다. 점개구리밥은 43개 중 총 18개 조사지역에서 출현이 확인되었으며, 이들 지역에서는 점개구리밥 외 수생식물의 생물량은 낮은 편이었다. 점개구리밥 등 수생식물과 환경요인에 대한 서식생물상의 영향을 분석하기 위해 SOM(Self-Organizing Map)을 활용한 패턴분석을 실시하였다. 분석 결과, 동물플랑크톤 등 서식생물상은 환경요인보다는 수생식물의 생물량에 대한 영향이 큰 것으로 나타났다. 특히 점개구리밥의 생물량은 부착성 종과 밀접하게 관련되는 것으로 분석되었다. 제주도 내 하천 및 습지는 수원이 일정하지 않고 수위변화가 급격하여 수생식물의 현존량이 적은 점을 감안하면, 제주도 지역의 교란 특성에 비교적 강한 점개구리밥은 서식생물상(동물플랑크톤 등)에게 서식처로서 중요하게 적용될 것으로 판단된다. 더욱이, 점개구리밥의 점유 공간 내 유기물이 서식동물상의 먹이원으로 활용되는 점 등을 볼 때 점개구리밥은 서식처인 동시에 먹이터로의 역할을 수행하고 있는 것으로 보인다. 비록 점개구리밥의 밀생이 그늘 효과 등으로 일부 수생식물의 성장과 발달에 영향을 미치지만, 이것은 부유식물이 수표면에 우점하는 특성 때문이며, 점개구리밥의 위해성이라 판단하기는 어렵다. 결론적으로 점개구리밥은 제주도 지역 내 대부분의 수계에서 확산 및 정착된 것으로 조사되었으며, 서식생물상 및 수중 환경 내 미치는 영향은 적은 것으로 사료된다. 추후 제주도 지역 외 내륙에서의 점개구리밥 분포 및 확산에 대한 모니터링을 수행할 필요가 있다고 보여진다.

Land-use changes due to the socio-economic environment influence landscape patterns and processes, which affect habitats and biodiversity. This study considers the effects of such land-use changes, particularly on the traditional rural "Maeul" forested landscape, by analyzing landscape structure and vegetation changes. Three study areas were examined that have seen their populations decrease and age over the last few decades. Five types of plant life-forms (Raunkier life-forms) were distinguished to investigate ecosystem function. Principle component analysis was used to understand vegetation dynamics and community characteristics based on a vegetation similarity index. Ordination analysis transformed species-coverage data was introduced to clarify vegetation dynamics. Landscape indices, such as area metrics, edge metrics, and shape metrics, showed that spatial heterogeneity has increased over time in all areas. Pinus densiflora was the main land-use plant type in all study areas but decreased over time, whereas Quercus spp. increased. Over a decade, P. densiflora communities shifted to deciduous oak and plantation. These findings indicate that the impact of human activities on the Maeul landscape is twofold. While forestry activities caused heavy disturbances, the abandonment of traditional human activities has led to natural succession. Furthermore, it can be concluded that the type and intensity of these human impacts on landscape heterogeneity relate differently to vegetation succession. This reflects the cause and consequence of patch dynamics. We discuss an approach for sustainable landscape planning and management of the Maeul landscape based on traditional management.

Land cover changes associated with urbanization have driven climate change and pollution, which alter properties of ecosystems at local, regional, and continental scales. Thus, the relationships among urban ecological variables such as community composition, structure, health, soil and functioning need to be better understood to restore and improve urban ecosystems. In this study, we discuss urban ecosystem management and research from a futuristic perspective based on analyses of vegetation structure, composition, and successional trends, as well as the chemical properties of soils and the distribution of heat along an urban-rural gradient. Urban thermo-profile analysis using satellite images showed an obvious mitigating effect of vegetation on the Seoul heat island. Community attributes of Quercus mongolica stands reflected the effects of urbanization, such as pronounced increases in disturbance-related and pollution-tolerant species, such as Styrax japonica and Sorbus alnifolia. Retrogressive successional trends were detected in urban sites relative to those in rural sites. Changes in the urban climate and biotic environment have the potential to significantly influence the practice and outcomes of ecological management, restoration and forecasting because of the associated changes in future bio-physical settings. Thus, for management (i.e., creation and restoration) of urban green spaces, forward-thinking perspectives supported by historical information are necessary.
