  • 해안생태공원 조성이 추진중인 인천광역시 논현동 일대 염습지의 식물상 및 식생을 1999년 6월부터 2000년 6월까지 조사하였다. 이 지역에는 소래포구의 조간대를 따라 발달한 자연염습지와 함께 조수가 차단된 폐염전이 있다. 이 지역에서 14종의 염생식물이 조사되었는데, 그중 해흥나물이 가장 많이 분포하고 있었으며, 그밖에 퉁퉁마디, 비쑥, 갯개미취 등도 많이 관찰되었다. 폐염전에서 관찰된 염생식물의 종류는 자연염습지에서 조사된 것과 매우 유사하였다. 그러나, 폐염전과 자연염습지 사이의 제방 지역은 염습지 보다 다양한 종이 자라고 있었는데, 귀화식물도 21종이 관찰되었다. 자연염습지의 식생은 해흥나물-비쑥군집과 해흥나물군집으로 구성되어져 있으며 지역에 따른 큰 차이는 없었다. 한편, 폐염전에서는 해흥나물-퉁퉁마디, 나문재-해흥나물, 갈대-애기부들, 갈대군집 등 다양한 군집이 조사되었다. 식생상관과 종다양도에 기초하여 조사지역을 식생양호지역, 인간활동에 따른 교란지역, 식물고사지역 등의 세 구역으로 나눌 수 있었으며, 해안생태공원 조성에 따른 각 구역의 보존대책을 제시하였다.

  • Background: The structures and soil factors of Suaeda glauca-Suaeda japonica zonal communities and Phragmites australis-S. japonica zonal communities were studied in salt marshes of west and south coasts of South Korea to provide basic data for coastal wetland conservation and restoration. Results: S. glauca community mean length was 67 m and S. japonica community mean length was 567 m in zonal communities, and P. australis and S. japonica community mean length were 57 m and 191 m in zonal communities. Regarding the electrical conductivity, sodium content, and clay contents in Upnae-ri, Shinan-gun, there were significant differences among zonal communities at significance level of 0.05 for two-sided t test. However, other factors were not significantly different. Conclusions: The results indicate that multiple factors such as electronic conductivity, total nitrogen level, clay, and sodium might play important roles in the formation of zonal plant communities of salt marshes.

  • Background: Organic carbon stored in coastal wetlands, which comprises the major part of oceanic "blue carbon," is a subject of growing interest and concern. In this study, organic carbon storage in coastal wetlands and its economic value were estimated using the raw data of 25 studies related to soil carbon storage. Data were collected from three tidal flats (one protected and two developed areas) and two estuarine salt marshes (one protected and one restored area). Bulk density, soil organic matter content, and standing biomass of vegetation were all considered, with Monte Carlo simulation applied to estimate the uncertainty. Results: Mean carbon storage in two salt marshes ranged between 14.6 and $25.5kg\;C\;m^{-2}$. Mean carbon storage in tidal flats ranged from 18.2 to $28.6kg\;C\;m^{-2}$, with variability possibly related to soil texture. The economic value of stored carbon was estimated by comparison with the price of carbon in the emission trading market. The value of US $ $6600\;ha^{-1}$ is ~ 45% of previously estimated ecosystem services from fishery production and water purification functions in coastal areas. Conclusions: Although our study sites do not cover all types of large marine ecosystem, this study highlights the substantial contribution of coastal wetlands as carbon sinks and the importance of conserving these habitats to maximize their ecosystem services.

  • 본 연구는 생태관광지의 유형별 탐방객 특성을 파악하기위해 북한산둘레길, 우포늪, 지리산둘레길, 울진금강소나무 숲길을 대상으로 탐방객의 인구통계적 특성 및 여행동기, 훼손에 대한 인식 등을 분석하였다. 각 대상지를 방문한 탐방객들을 대상으로 1:1 면접조사를 통해 현장 설문조사를 실시하였다. 북한산둘레길의 경우 인근 주민들이 건강을 위해 찾는 빈도가 높고 생태관광객의 비율이 낮은 경향을 보였으며, 환경훼손에 대한 인식도 높지 않게 나타났다. 우포늪은 동료간의 친목을 다지기 위해 단체로 움직이는 탐방객 수가 많았고, 습지생태계의 관찰·체험, 탐조활동 등 생태관광 비율이 높게 나타났으며, 산악형에 비하여 물리적인 훼손요인이 많지 않아 훼손에 대한 탐방객들의 인식은 높지 않았다. 지리산둘레길은 생태관광객과 함께 일반 대중관광객과 자연관광객의 비율도 높게 나타났으며, 평지형 관광지보다 환경훼손에 대한 인식이 높았다. 울진금강소나무숲길의 경우 탐방을 제한함으로써 생태관광에 대한 인식이 높고 자연환경 보전의식이 높은 관광객들이 주로 방문하기 때문에 거의 모든 지표에서 다른 생태관광지에 비해 높은 값을 보였다. 관광지의 자연환경훼손이 우려되는 경우에 입장료 징수 또는 탐방예약제를 통해 관광객수를 조절하는 방안에 대해서는 대체적으로 긍정적으로 받아들이는 것으로 조사되었다.

  • Two brackish cyclopoid species are reported mostly from the estuaries and salt marshes in the southern coast of Korea: Limnoithona sinensis (Burckhardt, 1913) and Apocyclops borneoensis Lindberg, 1954. The two species as well as the genera are newly added to Korean fauna. Herein, the redescription is provided with the systematic accounts and detailed illustrations of them.

  • 연안생태계의 호염성 톡토기와 개미군집의 생물다양성정도와 변동에 대해 알아보기 위해, 주변환경과 식생이 다른 세지역에서 정량채집을 실시하였다. 종조성이나 분포에 영향을 주는 요인을 찾기 위해 pH, 염도 및 전기전도도를 측정하였다. 연구결과 톡토기의 종조성 이나 분포에는 pH와 식생보다도 토성과 염도가 더 큰 영향을 주는 것으로 나타났다. 그러나 개미의 경우는 집을 지을 적당한 장소를 제공해 줄 수 있는 식생과 조수에 의한 침수에 더 큰 영향을 받는 것으로 사료된다. 모든 조사지역에서 조상대가 조간대보다 다양도가 높았으며 조간대중에서는 모래함량이 높은 동호의 상조대에서 가장 높게 나타났다

  • Gaining an understanding of bird communities in different habitat types is essential for the conservation of ecologically important habitats. Wetlands possess different types of habitats and provide an important environment for wintering waterbird communities. This study compares avian communities in five different habitat types in the Moeyungyi Wetland Wildlife Sanctuary (MWWS), Myanmar. From December 2014 to the first week of February in 2015, bird and habitat data were collected from representative areas of five habitat types (i.e., short grassland, tall grassland, lotus fields, open water areas, and rice fields) at MWWS. We established nine sampling plots in each habitat type, and used the point quadrat method to survey habitats and the point count method to survey birds in the habitats. Simple one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) and post-hoc tests were used to determine differences between bird communities. We made 95 detections during 19 daily visits to each of the five habitat types. During the survey period, we recorded a total of 10,389 individuals belonging to 52 different bird species, based on 7-min observations at each of the 45 point count stations. Furthermore, we detected significant differences by habitat structure (i.e., vegetation coverage, height, and density; water depth; and plant species diversity) as well as bird communities (i.e., species richness, abundance, and diversity indices). In addition, the detailed analysis of 52 avian species revealed significant differences among 45 species with respect to the mean numbers of observed individuals in the survey habitats. The findings of this study revealed significant differences in the structure and composition of waterbird communities among the five assessed habitat types. Because natural marshes provide preferable habitats for a larger number and greater diversity of birds, relative to rice fields, natural marshes should be prioritized for conservation and restoration in Moeyungyi Wetland Wildlife Sanctuary.

  • Occurrence and distribution of the celluar slime molds in relation to the coastal plant communities of svven islands near inch'on wereinvestigated. as a results, total seven species were isolated from the soils of the coastal plant communities. These are dictyostelium mucoroides, polysphodylium pallidum, dictystelium polycephalum. d. mucoroides was the most commonly found in the coastal plant communities investigated, and was dominant pecularly in the coastal mixed forests, the coastal broad-leaved forests and salt marshes. In the coastal coniferous forest and the coastal dune sand plants, hoeever, p. violaceum was the dominant species. species diversity was relatively was relatively high in the coastal coniferous ferests and the coastal mixed forests. However, agerage number of species isolated from all plant communities was very low,2.8.
