알칼리성 산업부산물의 혼합에 따른 연안 오염퇴적물의 성상 변화를 평가하기 위해 해수 교환을 고려한 mesocosm 실험을 수행하였다. 실험시작 1개월 후 실험구의 인산인 농도는 대조구 대비 간극수와 직상수에서 각각 19.0, 0.4 mg/L 낮게 검출되었다. 이는 GCA에서 용출된 칼슘이온과 인산인의 흡착반응을 통한 간극수 내의 인 고정 및 직상수로의 용출 억제에 따른 결과로 판단된다. 실험구의 간극수 내 황화수소 농도는 5.0 mg/L로 112.5 mg/L인 대조구에 비해 매우 낮게 나타났으며, 실험구 직상수의 DO 농도는 대조구에 비해 3.47 mg/L 높게 나타났다. 이상의 결과로부터 알칼리성 산업부산물인 GCA는 연안 오염퇴적물의 개선에 효과적인 재료임을 확인하였다.

Natural zooplankton communities are composed of many different species at different trophic levels in the aquatic food web. Several researchers have reported that in mesocosm/enclosure experiments, larger cladocerans tend to be more sensitive to carbamate insecticides than smaller ones (Daphnia > Moina, Diaphanosoma > Bosmina). In contrast, results from individual-level laboratory tests have suggested that large cladoceran species are more tolerant than small species. To clarify this inconsistency, we conducted a microcosm experiment using model zooplankton communities with different species compositions, where animals were exposed to lethal (near to the 24 h LC50, concentration estimated to kill 50% of individuals within 24-h for the small cladoceran Bosmina) and lower, sublethal concentrations of carbaryl. In the experiment, population densities of the small cladocerans (Bosmina and Bosminopsis) decreased subsequent to the applications of chemical, but no impacts were observed on the large cladoceran Daphnia. Our results supported the reports of previous individual level toxicity tests, and indicated that the sensitivity of zooplankton to the insecticide was unchanged by biological interactions but the response of population can be modified by compensation of population through hatching from resting eggs and/or the persistence of insecticide in the systems.

Nanomaterials are used in a range of fields, including industry, medicine, aerospace, and manufacturing, due to their unique and useful properties. In recent years, nanotechnology has developed rapidly, and the amount of nanomaterials used in various fields has increased consistently. As a result, nanomaterials are released into the aquatic and soil ecosystem, posing potential risks to organisms and environment. These materials can enter the cells and may cause serious damage to organisms. Furthermore, they can be transferred through trophic levels and food web, thereby leading to bioconcentration and biomagnification. In this study, we analyzed the trends in research on food chain transfer of nanomaterials and investigated the techniques used in the research. Although many studies have been underway, there is a need for further advanced studies on higher trophic levels and complex microcosm and mesocosm. Furthermore, study topics should be expanded to include various types of nanomaterials and varied species and trophic levels.

Iris laevigata is geographically restricted and legally protected in Korea. In this study, a mesocosm study was conducted to examine the effects of environmental conditions such as water levels and soil nutrient conditions on the growth and survival of I. laevigata seedlings. Complete submergence lowered the total number of leaves, biomass, and survival rates. A rise in soil nutrients increased overall seedling growth and increased tiller numbers via the promotion of asexual reproduction. Also, we found that the lowest measured values of seedlings are associated with the most stressful condition due to the interaction of low soil nutrients and high water levels. I. laevigata seedlings, however, are distributed in low-nutrient habitats such as floating mat, even though they do not grow well under these conditions. This study suggests that I. laevigata does not prefer low-nutrient condition but choose another benefit such as low competition. Also, the water level must be lower than the seedling height for effective growth and management of I. laevigata.

Background: To understand shade and wind effects on seedling traits of common reed (Phragmites australis), we conducted a mesocosm experiment manipulating day length (10 h daytime a day as open canopy conditions or 6 h daytime a day as partially closed canopy conditions) and wind speed (0 m/s as windless conditions or 4 m/s as windy conditions). Results: Most values of functional traits of leaf blades, culms, and biomass production of P. australis were higher under long day length. In particular, we found sole positive effects of long day length in several functional traits such as internode and leaf blade lengths and the values of above-ground dry weight (DW), rhizome DW, and total DW. Wind-induced effects on functional traits were different depending on functional traits. Wind contributed to relatively low values of chlorophyll contents, angles between leaf blades, mean culm height, and maximum culm height. In contrast, wind contributed to relatively high values of culm density and below-ground DW. Conclusions: Although wind appeared to inhibit the vertical growth of P. australis through physiological and morphological changes in leaf blades, it seemed that P. australis might compensate the inhibited vertical growth with increased horizontal growth such as more numerous culms, indicating a highly adaptive characteristic of P. australis in terms of phenotypic plasticity under windy environments.

본 연구에서는 정수 환경에 정착한 3생활형 9분류군의 식물을 대상으로 1년동안 정기적으로 모니터링을 실시하였으며, 이를 통해 식물 생활형이 수위 조건에 따라 식물 정착에 어떠한 영향을 미치는지 밝히고자 하였다. 18개의 실험구를 셋으로 나누어 16주 범람 기간 동안 0, 20, 60cm로 수위를 각각 유지하였으며, 범람 기간을 제외한 기간은 0cm로 수위를 모두 동일하게 유지하였다. 1차년에 식재한 다년생 식물인 큰고랭이(Scirpus tabernaemontani), 줄(Zizania caduciflora), 부들속 2종(Typha angustifolia, T. orientalis)은 종자에 의한 추가적인 정착은 없었으며, 수문 조건이 밀도 및 초고 생장에 큰 영향을 미치지 않았다. 그러나 1년생 식물인 고마리(Persicaria thunbergii), 여뀌(Persicaria hydropiper), 사마귀풀(Aneilema japonicum)과 2년생인 벼룩나물(Stellaria uliginosa), 뚝새풀(Alopecurus aequalis), 개피(Beckmannia syzigachne)는 상대적으로 수문 조건에 의한 영향을 크게 받았다. 정수 환경에서 침수 수위 및 침수 기간은 상대적으로 지하경을 형성하지 못하는 1, 2년생 식물 종들의 정착 및 생육에 큰 영향을 미치는 것으로 보인다.

A indigenous freshwater bivalve Unio douglasiae was introduced to compare the differences in the efficacy of algal bloom control and the appearances of mussel-mediated adverse effects between two different reservoirs such as mesotrophic (Shingu r.) and hypertrophic (Seokmun r.). We constructed the study mesocosm in the shore of each reservoir, stocked the mussel at density of $30indiv./m^3$ for 7 days, and measured daily the phytoplankton density and water quality. In mesotrophic reservoir, even though approximately 38% of suspended solids and chlorophyll-a was reduced by stocked bivalves for the first 3 days, algal density, ammonia and soluble reactive phosphorus gradually increased with increasing mussel death. In hypertrophic reservoir, mussels strongly inhibited suspended solids and chlorophyll-a by the termination of study with no increase of mussel death and nutrient, especially ammonia concentration. In both reservoirs, a strong selectivity showed mussels preferred to diatom rather than cyanobacteria and green algae without algal density and nutrient level. Our results indicate that an introduction of freshwater bivalve U. douglasiae is more strategic to improve water quality of hypertrophic than mesotrophic reservoir, but many preliminary studies on the treatment method and the selection of target water system are required.

This study aimed to investigate correlations between concentrations of extractable Arsenic (As) with varying chemical solutions (0.1 M $Ca(NO_3)_2$, 0.1 M $(NH_4)2HPO_4$, 0.5 M EDTA, Mehlich 3, and 0.5 M $NaHCO_3$) and those of As in crops, and then to seek the most suitable soil extraction method for predicting the potential of As uptake in crops cultivated in soils contaminated with As. For a mesocosm experiment, pepper (Capsicum annuum L.), soybean (Glycine max L.), and rice (Oryza sativa L.) were cultivated for three months in pots containing soils taken from the arable areas near abandoned mines in Korea. Following the cultivation, soil pH and DOC significantly increased by treatments of lime and lime plus compost, respectively, while insignificant influences in changing total and all extractable As concentrations were found in all soils. Arsenic concentration in edible part of all crops considerably depended on the extractable As concentration in the soils, particularly with Mehlich 3. All extractable As concentrations in the soils of C. annuum and G. max were significantly correlated with As concentration in their edible parts. For O. sativa, the extractable concentrations of Mehlich 3 ($R^2$: 0.18 at p: 0.006) and EDTA ($R^2$: 0.11 at p: 0.036) showed only marked relationships with As concentration in the edible part. These results may indicate that the Mehlich 3 and EDTA are soil extractants to determine phytoavailable As in soil that provide better prediction for As transfer from soil to crop.

탄소와 질소 안정동위원소비를 이용한 먹이망 구조 해석 기법은 수생태계 연구에서 폭 넓게 활용되고 있으며, 먹이원의 정량적 기여율을 분석하는 믹싱모델에 적용될 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 Bayesian 모델을 이용한 믹싱모델의 적용이 가능한 통계 패키지(R, SIAR package)의 사용방법을 제시하고, 사용 예로 저수지 및 메소코즘 배양조에서의 동물플랑크톤과 먹이원의 탄소, 질소 안정동위원소비를 이용한 섭식 성향 분석 방법 및 결과를 제시하였다. 분석 결과, 국내 저수지 및 대형하천 등에서 주로 우점하는 Daphnia galeata는 소형의 POM (<$50{\mu}m$)을 주로 섭식하는 것으로 나타나, 부영양화된 환경에서 녹조 발생시 먹이로의 활용이 용이하지 않은 것으로 나타났다. 논 생태계 등에서 빈번히 출현하는 패충류의 경우 D. galeata와 유사한 섭식 성향을 나타내었다. 반면 습지 등에서 주로 출현하는 Simocephalus vetulus의 경우, 부착성 POM이 아닌 부유성 POM을 주로 섭식하며 Microcystis를 포함하는 대형의 POM (>$50{\mu}m$)을 섭식하는 것으로 분석되었다.
