생물다양성우수지역은 종다양성이 가장 우수한 지역 또는 훼손될 우려가 가장 큼에도 생물상이 가장 다양한 지역으로서, 생물다양성 보전을 위한 최적지를 선택하는 데 필수적인 요소이다. 이 연구의 목적은 포유류를 대상으로 전국단위에서 종풍부도, 희귀도를 분석하여 생물다양성우수지역을 파악하는 것이다. 대상종은 멸종위기 포유류 4종, 일반종 11종 등 총 15종을 선정하였다. 지형, 거리, 식생구조 등을 환경변수로 설정하였고, Maxent(Maximum Entropy Method)를 활용하여 종분포모형을 구축하였다. 종풍부도와 종희귀도를 통해 생물다양성을 분석하였다. 연구 결과는 다음과 같다. 첫 번째, 종풍부도를 분석한 결과, 멸종위기 포유류를 대상으로 할 때에는 높고 가파른 산림이 생물다양성우수지역인 것으로 나타났다. 반면, 전체종을 대상으로 했을 때는 저지대 산림에서 종풍부도가 높았다. 두 번째, 멸종위기 포유류를 대상으로 할 때에는 희귀도와 종풍부도가 유사한 공간분포를 보였다. 그러나 전체종을 대상으로 할때에는 저지대 산림 뿐만 아니라 고지대 산림에서도 다소 희귀도가 높은 것으로 나타나, 종풍부도와는 다소 다른 공간분포를 보였다. 이와 같은 연구 결과는 추후 생물다양성 평가, 서식지 보전, 생태축 구축, 보호지역 관리 등에 활용될 수 있을 것이다.

우리나라를 대표하는 생물종 풍부도를 도출하는 데에는 상대적으로 짧은 생물종 현장 조사 역사와 여러 기관에서 분야별로 수집한 조사 자료가 산재되어 있다는 한계가 있다. 본 연구에서는 환경부 산하기관들이 보유하고 있는 관속식물 조사 데이터를 취합하여 100년 이상의 시계열 데이터세트를 구축하였다. 자료 통합은 종명, 위치, 시간(연도) 등 최소한의 기준을 적용해 데이터 검증 및 보정 과정을 거쳤다. 통합한 식물종 자료에 따르면 국내 식물종에 대한 체계적인 수집은 2000년 이후에 주로 이루어졌으며, 이러한 조사를 통해 발견된 식물종의 수는 최근 수렴하는 경향을 보이고 있었다. 이는 우리나라에서 국가 차원의 생물종 다양성을 도출할 수 있는 조건이 충분히 갖추어지고 있음을 시사한다. Chao 2 방법을 이용하여 예측한 1951년부터 70년간의 토착식물의 종 풍부도는 3,182.6으로 추정되었다. 이 추정치를 얻기 위해서는 최소 7년의 누적 기간이 필요하다. 본 연구의 식물종 풍부도는 향후 우리나라의 종 풍부도 변화를 연구하는데 기준이 될 수 있다. 또한 사용한 종 풍부도 추정 방법과 통합자료는 지자체 수준 등의 지역 생물다양성을 도출하는 데에도 적용할 수 있을 것으로 생각한다.

Vegetative communities of created wetlands often display lower species richness, less cover, higher occurrence of non-native or invasive species, and fewer obligate wetlands species than those in natural wetlands, thus failing to meet basic success criteria for wetland mitigation. This study examined the effects of two design elements, disking-induced microtopography and hydrologic regime, on the first year vegetation development pattern of a mitigation wetland newly created in the Virginia piedmont. Elevation and species cover were measured along replicate multiscale circular transects in two adjacent wetland sites that are different in their hydrologic regime. Two microtopographic indices, tortuosity (T) and limiting elevation difference (LD), were calculated from the elevation measurements. Both indices were higher in disked plots than non-disked plots, showing the effect of disking on microtopography. Out of forty-one vegetation taxa observed in the wetland, 29 taxa were naturally colonized and 12 taxa were seeded. All plots except one non-disked plot were dominated by wetland vegetation. Species richness and diversity were higher in disked than in non-disked plots. Vegetation community development seemed also influenced significantly by hydrologic regime of the site. The effect of microtopography on species richness and diversity was more pronounced in a relatively dry site compared to a wet site. In addition, percent cover, species richness and diversity of vegetation were positively correlated with microtopographic indices such as T and LD. Two design elements, microtopography and hydrologic regime, should be considered and incorporated in wetland creation to enhance plant community development.

We examined seasonal variation in the structure of marine macroalgal communities at five sites around the Byeonsan Peninsula, Korea, from January to October 2011. Sixty eight species were identified, including 11 green, 17 brown and 40 red algae. Species richness was highest at Gyeokpo (51 species) followed by Sambal (47), Gosapo (34), Byeonsan (33), and Habgoo (18). Seaweed biomass ranged from 12.98 to 145.33 g dry $wt/m^2$, with maximum and minimum biomasses at Gyeokpo and Habgoo, respectively. Sargassum thunbergii was the representative alga species occupying 47.89% of the total biomass. The dominant seaweeds were S. thunbergii, Corallina pilulifera, Ulva spp, Gracilaria vermiculophylla, and Carpopeltis affinis. No distinctive vertical distribution of seaweeds was found because S. thunbergii, Ulva spp, and G. vermiculophylla were all distributed from high to low shore. Community indices were as follows: dominance index (DI), 0.44-0.61; richness index (R), 6.27-10.35; evenness index (J'), 0.38-0.59; and diversity index (H'), 1.48-1.71. Gyeokpo had the most biomass and highest species richness, and the lowest percentage of Ulva species. However, species richness declined at Gyeokpo, from 78 to 51 species within 10 years, implying that eutrophication and sedimentation from Mankyeong and Dongjin rivers have reduced the stability of seaweed communities.

National parks are designated for the purpose of maintenance, conservation and utilization of different habitats. Therefore, it is necessary to select habitats of a high value as a protected area in order to balance conservation and development. However, the existing national park boundary adjustment and new designation criteria only focused on the endangered species and protected area, without proper evaluation of the habitat value of actual species. Therefore, this study aims to quantitatively evaluate habitat function in terms of biodiversity and habitat value, so that it can be referred to for the designation and boundary adjustment of national parks. We assessed species diversity and habitat values for each of the habitat types, for mammals only, as they are able to choose preferred habitats. In order to evaluate biodiversity, we used Maxent to derive species richness map and used InVEST's Habitat quality model to evaluate habitat value. As a result of evaluation, species richness was high in the national park boundary area. Also, even if the same edge is adjacent to the development area depending on the land cover, the species richness is low. Compared with Wolaksan and Sobaeksan National Park, the species richness and habitat value of the northern area, which is connected with other forests, were higher than those of the southern area where roads were developed. Therefore, it is expected that the use of the result of this study for the national park boundary adjustment and management will enhance the function of the national park as a habitat.

Marine algal flora and community structure were examined seasonally at four study sites around Taean Power Plant, Korea from Jan. to Nov. 2006. A total of 73 algae species (12 green, 9 brown, 52 red) and 1 marine plant were identified. The number of species was maximal at the power plant Discharge (57 species) site followed by Hakampo (46 species), Intake (28 species) and Breakwater (15 species) sites during the study period. The average biomass in dry weight varied from 13.12g/m2 at Intake to 69.60g/m2 at Hakampo. Dominant and sub dominant species in terms of biomass were Gelidium divaricatum - Ulva pertusa at Intake, Chondria crassicaulis - Ulva pertusa at Discharge, Corallin a pilulifera - Chondrus ocellatus at Breakwater, and Corallina pilulifera - Sargassum thunbergii at Hakampo. Species richness of warm tolerant and green algae were greater at Discharge site than Hakampo, showing similar species richness. However, community indices were not distinguishable between Discharge and other study sites. In conclusion, species richness and biomass of seaweeds were greater at Discharge site compared to intake and breakwater sites, and the abundance of warm tolerant and green algal species were higher than Hakampo.

The plot design influences the budgets and the precision of forest inventory results. The objective of this study is to determine the efficiency of estimating forest variables such as tree density, basal area, volume, and species richness based on various plot sizes using fixed-area plot sampling in the natural deciduous forest of Pyeong-Chang County, Gang-won Province, Korea. In this study, 108 reference plots were established with a fixed plot size and shape of 0.09 ha ($30m{\times}30m$). In order to determine the optimal plot size for the interest of variables, each sample plot was established using different shapes (square, circle, and rectangle) and was divided into different plot sizes from 100 to $900m^2$. The mean relative difference (MRD) for the sum of the basal area and volume, and tree density per hectare decreased as plot size increased. But the MRD for three variables were only below 13% at the plot size of $500m^2$. Species richness for each reference stand observed ranging from 2 to 15 species, demonstrated highly positive significant relationships with plot size. The minimum plot size for the estimation of tree density, the sum of the BA and volume was determined to be about $400m^2$, whereas the estimation of species richness required a minimum plot size of $500m^2$.

Drought alters soil microorganisms; however, it is still not clear how soil microbes respond to severe drought conditions. In this study, the responses of soil bacterial community to experimental drought in a coniferous stand were examined. Six $6m{\times}6m$ plots with three replicates of control and drought treatments were delimited. PCR amplification and Illumina sequencing were conducted for cluster analysis of soil bacterial community and species richness and species diversity was analyzed. Along the 393 days of simulated drought from July 2016 to October 2017, soil bacterial species diversity slightly increased whereas species richness decreased in both control and roof plots. Moreover, soil bacterial species richness more decreased in roof plots than in controls. Combining these results, soil bacterial activity might have been altered by simulated drought.

We investigated the pattern of floral diversity including naturalized plant species and three ecological factors (area, elevation and distance from mainland) of plant species on 53 uninhabited islands in Gyungsangnam-do, southeastern South Korea. A total of 206 taxa in 67 families were observed, and the species of Compositae was most common. Thirteen taxa in eight families of the naturalized plants were observed on 33 islands. The numbers of total plant species, area and elevation were significantly correlated, but no relationship with distance from the mainland was observed. In addition, no relationship was found among the numbers of naturalized plants, area and elevation. However, the average rate of naturalization on islands with different elevations differed significantly, indicating the smallest proportion of naturalized plant species was on high islands. Multiple regression of total species richness identified elevation as a significant factor, while no significant variables were correlated with naturalized plant species. Nonmetric multidimensional scaling (NMS) ordination identified three major variables, distance from mainland, number of naturalized plant species and elevation. These findings indicate that the geography of islands such as area and elevation affected the species richness of plants on uninhabited islands, while human disturbance had a greater effect than geography on the species richness of naturalized plants on islands in southeastern South Korea.

본 연구는 비도시지역의 생물종 서식지 보전을 위해 반영할 수 있는 생물종 관련 지표의 개발과 관리지역 세분화 방안을 제시하는데 목적이 있다. 이를 위해 생물종 서식분포를 예측한 후에 예측된 서식분포를 활용하여 종풍부도를 만들고 그 결과를 토지적성평가와 비교를 하였다. 종분포도는 59종을 대상으로 Maxent 모형을 사용하였고 15개의 모형변수(5개 지형변수, 4개 식생변수, 6개 거리변수)를 활용하였다. 예측된 생물종 서식분포를 출현/비출현으로 구분한 후 합산하여 종풍부도를 예측 하였다. 토지적성평가는 평가체계 I에 따라 보전, 농업, 개발적성을 물리적, 지역, 공간적 입지 특성별로 평가하였다. 종풍부도 등급과 토지적성평가 등급과의 비교결과는 1등급은 10.92%, 2등급은 37.10%, 3등급은 34.56%, 4등급은 20.89% 그리고 5등급은 1.73%의 면적 일치도가 나타났다. 보전관리지역으로 분류되는 1등급과 계획관리지역으로 분류되는 5등급의 일치도가 가장 낮았다. 이처럼 계획관리지역으로 분류되어도, 종풍부도를 고려해 보면 많은 계획관리지역이 상대적으로 높은 종풍부도 값을 보여주었다. 관리지역은 생물종 서식지의 핵심지역은 아니지만 경관생태학적 관점에서 주변 서식처, 이동통로 등을 제공하면서 생물다양성 보호에 기여 할 수 있다. 따라서 도시관리계획에서 잠재적 생물종 서식분포를 고려하는 노력이 보다 집중되어야 할 것이다.
