3개소의 자연갯벌과7개소의 인공갯벌을 대상으로 토양중의 물리화학적, 생물학적 특성 및 미생물호흡량등과 같은 갯벌의 구조와 기능을 비교 평가하므로서 갯벌의 복원 및 창출기술개발을 위한 기초적 자료를 제시하였다. 자연갯벌의 실트함유량, 질소 및 탄소함유량은 인공갯벌보다 높은 것으로 나타났다. 또한 산화환원전위에 있어서도 자연갯벌의 경우는 토양 깊이 2cm이하부터 환원층이 발달되었지만, 인공갯벌의 경우는 토양 표면에서 20cm이상까지 산화층을 나타내었다. 자연갯벌의 미생물현존량은 인공갯벌들과 비교하여 10~100배 높은 값을 나타내었다. 또한 토양중의 미생물현존량과 실트함유량이 가장 높은 상관관계를 나타내었으나, 저서생물과 미생물호흡량은 자연갯벌과 인공갯벌 간에 현저한 차이는 관찰할 수 없었다. 갯벌의 정화기능을 정량적으로 산정한 결과, 인공갯벌이 자연갯벌보다 해수의 정화량이 높게 나타났는데, 이는 자연갯벌보다 인공갯벌이 정화에 관여하는 토양의 투수층이 깊기 때문이라 판단된다. 그러나 인공갯벌 중에도 자연갯벌과 유사한 해수유동의 분포를 가진 지역에서는 자연갯벌과 유사한 구조와 기능을 보유하고 있는 것으로 밝혀졌다. 따라서 해수의 정화기능을 강화하기 위한 인공갯벌의 창출은 가능할 것으로 판단되며, 자연갯벌과 유사한 구조와 기능을 가진 인공갯벌을 복원 또는 창출하기 위해서는 토양 중의 실트과 같은 미소입자의 함유량을 높게 유지하여 미생물현존량을 높게 유지시키고, 실트함유량을 유지하기 위하여 해수의 유동을 약하게 할 수 있는 방안이나 입지조건을 선택하여야 할 것이다.

We present spectral characteristics of tidal flat sediments and algal mat that were tested in the Gomso and Saemangum tidal flats, Korea. The objective of this study is to investigate the spectral reflectance and the radar scattering modeling in the tidal flats. Ground truth data obtained in the tidal flats include grain size, soil moisture content and its variation with time, surface roughness, chlorophyll, ground leveling, and field spectral reflectance measurement. The concept of an effective exposed area (EEA) is introduced to accommodate the effect of remnant surface water, and it seriously affects the reflection of short wavelength infrared and microwave. The nin size of 0.0625 mm has been normally used as a critical size of mud and sand discrimination. But we propose here that 0.25 mm is more practical grain size criterion to discriminate by remote sensing. Algal mat is the primary product in tidal flats, and it is found to be very important to understand spectral characteristics for tidal flat remote sensing. We have also conducted radar scattering modeling, and showed L-band HV-polarization would be the most effective combination.

This study proposes an inversion algorithm to extract the surface parameters, such as surface roughness and soil moisture contents, using multi-frequency SAR data. The study areas include the tidal flats of Jebu Island and the reclaimed lands of Hwaong district on the western coasts of the Korean peninsula. SAR data of three frequencies were accordingly calibrated to provide precise backscattering coefficients through absolute radiometric calibration. The root mean square (RMS) height and the correlation length, which can describe the surface roughness, were extracted from the backscattering coefficients using the inversion of the Integral Equation Method (IEM). The IEM model was appropriately modified to accommodate the environmental conditions of tidal flats. Volumetric soil moisture was also simultaneously extracted from the dielectric constant using the empirical model, which define the relations between volumetric soil moistures and dielectric constants. The results obtained from the proposed algorithm were verified with the in-situ measurements, and we confirmed that multi-frequency SAR observations combined with the surface scattering model for tidal flats can be used to quantitatively retrieve the geophysical surface parameters in tidal flats.

곰소만 조간대 퇴적물의 장기적 변화를 조사하기 위하여 1991년과 2006년에 채취된 표층퇴적물 시료를 분석하고, 그 결과를 비교하였다. 만 입구 조간대에서는 실트와 점토의 함량이 감소하고 모래의 함량이 증가하였다. 만의 중부와 상부 조간대에서는 모래와 점토의 함량이 감소하고 실트의 함량이 증가하였다. 특히 점토의 함량은 주변의 다른 반폐쇄된 조간대에 비해 상대적으로 매우 낮은 함량 분포를 보였으며, 1991년에 비해서도 뚜렷하게 감소하는 경향을 보였다. 퇴적물 구성성분의 뚜렷한 함량 변화는 퇴적상의 변화를 초래하였다. 이러한 변화는 매립 및 호안건설에 의한 해안선의 변형과 간조선 부근에 빽빽하게 설치된 양식장의 구조물, 그리고 곰소만 북쪽의 새만금 방조제 건설 등에 의한 수리에너지 조건의 변화에 기인한 것으로 해석된다.

Waterline extraction is the one of widely used methods for studying changes in tidal flat environment and coastlines using multi-temporal optical images such as Landsat TM and Landsat ETM+. High dynamics of tidal currents and land reclamation which accelerate sedimentation and/or erosion cause waterline change in tidal flats. The amount of sediment deposited or eroded can be evaluated by precisely estimating waterline changes in tidal flats. The objective of this study is to detect the change of waterlines during 17 years and analyze the trends of erosion and sedimentation in the study areas. The Ganghwado tidal flat on the west coast of the Korean Peninsula was selected. The study area is famous for high dynamics of tidal currents and vast tidal flats. Land reclamation which has been carried out on a large scale is also considered as one of elements that have accelerated the environmental changes in this tidal flat. In this study, we acquired 26 waterlines from Landsat TM and Landsat ETM+ images. We extracted the waterline from each satellite image to generate a digital elevation map (DEM) which was used for reference and to compare with the other waterline which was extracted from DEM having a same tide. The result of comparison well depicted the areas of dominant sedimentation and erosion, and general trends of sedimentation and erosion according to sub-regions are also revealed during the investigation time. Results showed that erosion during a decade was dominant at the west of the Southern Ganghwado tidal flat, while sedimentation was dominant at the wide channel between the Southern Ganghwado tidal flat and the Yeongjongdo tidal flat. This area has been commonly affected by high currents and sedimentation energy. Although we were not able to verify the accuracy of the waterline changes, this result clearly showed the waterline change and therefore, the waterline extraction method used in this study has proven as an effective tool for long term tidal change estimation.

The tidal flat of Korea is one of the most dynamic areas in terms of sediment erosion and deposition. Tidal flats provide important food resources, ecological niche for diverse organisms and have functional role of bioremediation by mineralizing organic matters. Generally, microbes are essential constituent for biochemical transformations, such as mineralization of organic matters and biodegradation of pollutants. Understanding microbes in tidal flat sediment is necessary to understand these processes. In order to understand role of microbes in tidal flat, this study investigated prokaryotic communities by several methods such as clone library, DGGE, and pyrosequencing. In addition, quantification of microorganisms and isolation biodegrading bacteria were investigated in tidal flats of Western Coast.

Tidal Flats are very important natural resource and various efforts have been made to protect it from environmental pollutions. The projects to monitor the environmental changes by periodically observing the creatures in tidal flats are underway. However, they are being done inefficiently by people directly observing. In this paper, we propose an object segmentation method that can be applied to the applications which automatically monitor the living creatures in tidal flats. In the proposed method, a foreground map representing the location of objects is obtained by using a temporal difference method, and then a superpixel method is applied to detect the detailed boundary of an object. The region of a crab is extracted finally by combining the foreground map and the superpixel information. Experimental results show that the proposed method separates crab regions from a tidal flat image easily and accurately.

The impact of land cover changed by tidal flats on local meteorology in Gyeonggi Bay was quantitatively evaluated based on a numerical modeling approach during 18 days (21 June to 9 July 2013). The analysis was carried out using three sets of simulation scenarios and the land cover of tidal flats for each simulation was applied as follows: (1) the herbaceous wetland representing coastal wetlands (i.e., EXP-BASE case), (2) the barren or sparsely vegetated representing low tide (i.e., EXP-LOW case), (3) the water bodies representing high tide (i.e., EXP-HIGH case). The area of tidal flats was calculated as about $552km^2$ (the ratio of 4.7% for analysis domain). During the daytime, the change (e.g. wetlands to water) of land cover flooded by high tide indicated the decrease of temperature (average $3.3^{\circ}C$) and the increase of humidity (average 13%) and wind speed (maximum $2.9m\;s^{-1}$). The changes (e.g. wetlands to barren or sparsely vegetated) of land cover induced by low tide were smaller than those by high tide. On the other hands, the effects of changed land cover at night were not apparent both high tide and low tide. Also, during the high tide, the meteorological change in tidal flats affected the metropolitan area (about 40 km from the tidal flat).

Distributional patterns of microalgae were studied in the tidal flats of Gamami Beach(Young-Gwang, Korea) from November 1999 to 2000 July. The tidal flats of Gamami Beach was composed mainly of sandy sediment. The concentrations of nutrients were low compared with other tidal flats. In the present study, 68 species of microalgal flora were identified. These were comprised of 25 species of benthic microalgae and 59 species of planktonic microalgae. Diatoms predominated the benthic microalgae with 96.0% of total species occurred. Dominant species were Amphora sp., Cocconeis sp., Coscinodiscus asteromphalus, Coscinodiscus sp., Nitzschia sigma var. intermedia, Nitzschia distans, Navicula spp., Paralia sulcata, Pleurosigma sp. Skeletonema coastatum, and Surirella sp. Among them, Amphora sp., Paralia sulcata, and species of Pleurosigma and Nitzschia were observed throughout the studied period. Planktonic microalgae of Gamami Beach was also predominated by diatoms. They occupied 88.1% of total planktonic microalgae. The density of microalgal population was higher in silty sediment than in sandy sediment. The population density of microalgae was higher in high tide zone than that in low tide zone. The density of the benthic microalgae in the surface layer of tidal flats showed increasing tendency for 2 hours after the beginning of ebb tide. On the contrary, benthic microalgal density of subsurface layer was decreased during the period. Concentrations of chlorophyll ${\alpha}$ from sediment and water were not synchronized during the study period. Therefore, the distributional patterns of the benthic microalgae and planktonic algae seemed not to be related. Chlorophyll ${\alpha}$ of water was highly related with the concentration of NH$_4$-N, whereas, chlorophyll ${\alpha}$ of sediment uas related with NO$_3$-N concentration.
