Since Gyungan stream is included in the protected zone of the water supply source of the Metropolitan area in Korea, the water quality needs to be continuously managed. Therefore, a measure is required that can inhibit the flow of water pollutant into the water body and facilitate the ecological restoration of riparian vegetation. A field survey was conducted on the hydrological characteristics of the landscape elements established on the downstream catchment of the Gyungan stream, the result of which showed that the paddy field and urbanized area can be regarded as point pollution sources. The upland field can be regarded as a non-point pollution source. In order to improve the water quality in the Paldang lake, we first recommended creating a riparian vegetation belt. We also suggested introducing a treatment wetland and an artificial plant island to places in which the creation of a riparian vegetation belt is not ensured. We recommend creating a treatment wetland equipped with diverse functional groups. For creating the plant island, we recommend Zizania latifolia and Typha orientalis, which showed the highest productivity among aquatic plants. The former could be introduced around the outlet of a paddy field and the estuary of tributaries, while the latter could be introduced to a water body directly sourced from mountainous land.

연안습지 생태계에서 열에너지 교환 과정은 매우 중요하다. 지표 열에너지 평형을 이루는 요소인 순복사플럭스, 현열 플럭스, 잠열 플럭스 그리고 토양열 플럭스를 전라남도 고흥에 위치한 수평적으로 균질하다고 판단되는 지역인 고흥만 간척지에서 관측하고 분석하였다. 열의 수송을 평가하기 위해서 5회의 집중관측 기간에 대기 난류를 측정하였고, 특히 갈대로 덮여있는 간척지에서 지표층 열에너지 수지를 분석하기 위해서는 물과 매우 미세한 입자로 구성된 토양 그리고 계절에 따라 색깔과 밀도가 변하는 식생캐노피를 고려하였다. 순복사 플럭스, 현열 플럭스, 잠열 플럭스, 토양열 플럭스를 기존의 에너지 수지방정식에 적용하여 식생과 토양과 같은 지표면 특성에 따른 열 플럭스의 특징을 조사하여 습지의 기온조절 효과에 대해 알아보았다. 에너지 수지비로 식생 성장기에는 주로 잠열 플럭스에 의해 열이 대기로 전달되는 것을 알 수 있었다. 또한 식생층은 열을 저장하여 기온의 일교차를 줄이는 역할을 한다. 여름철에 집중관측지의 기온이 주변 지역의 기온보다 보다 낮고 겨울철에는 다소높게 나타난 결과는 식생층을 포함하는 연안습지가 열환경을 조절함을 보여주었다.

This study was surveyed to analyze vegetation structure of mountainous wetlands in Chung-ju city and around area from September to November, 2006. 6 sites of total 15 potential mountainous wetlands were discriminated throughout field survey. By classification system of mountainous wetlands presented in manual of forest wetlands research, types of wetlands were classified into slant and a flat. Many sites were covered with land plants as Pueraria thunbergiana and so on. To understand vegetation structure of mountainous wetlands, Height, DBH (diameter at breast height), DI (Dominance Index), Sociability and Constancy were surveyed and Based on this result, a projection chart was drawn. As results, Salix koreensis in tree layer and Persicaria thunbergii and Impatiens textori in herb layer were surveyed as broadly distributed species. This study is mainly focused on vegetation condition of mountainous wetlands. But, it will be needed studying on classification system of mountainous wetland type and functional assessment for conservation or management of wetlands.

The field scale experiment which is constructed with four sets (0.88 ha for each set) of wetland (0.8 ha) and pond (0.08 ha) systems was performed to examine the effect of plant coverage on the constructed wetland performance and to recommend the optimum development and management of macrophyte communities. After six growing seasons of wetlands, plant coverage was about 100%. And the concentration of DO showed low value (1.0~5.4 mg/L). This is caused by a blighted plant consumed dissolved oxygen with decay in water column. As the result, water column went to be anaerobic conditions and T-N removal rate are 58~67%. Dead vegetation increased nitrogen removal during winter because it is a source of organic carbon which is an essential parameter in denitrification. However, wetland released phosphorus caused by a blighted plant and accumulation, the removal rate of phosphorus might be decreased. To rise of DO concentration, the three open-waters were constructed in cell 3 and 4. Cell 3 has two open-waters (width 10 m, depth 1.8 m) and cell 4 has one open-water (width 20 m, depth 1.8 m). As the result, DO concentration and treatment efficiency of nutrient and BOD were improved. In case that constructed wetland is operated for a long time, physical circulation structure such as open water help continuous circulation of aerobic and anaerobic conditions. Through the constructed open-water, treatment efficiency of phosphorus and nitrogen in wetland could be improved effectively.

Systematic management of wetlands should be a priority to build the data for the extent and distribution of wetlands all over the country. However there are no clear guidelines for the wetland boundary delineation, so researchers have to determine the boundary of wetlands in each different way. As a result, it is very difficult to identify the extent and distribution of wetlands. This study proposes applicable criteria of setting boundary of wetlands which consider their wetland vegetation and geographical characteristics, according to wetland classification. The proposed site in this study is selected wetlands that represent each wetland type and have been ecologically well preserved like the wetland protected areas. GIS data for setting the boundary of wetlands selected were land-cover maps, aerial photographs, high resolution satellite images, and digital topographic maps. In this study, 'wetland unit determination' of the Washington State Wetlands Rating System(WSDE, 1993) and the concept of 'Wetland and Deep-water Habitats' was suggested by Wetland Delineation Manual(USACE, 1987) were used as criteria for setting the boundary of wetlands. As a result, it was found that the boundary of wetlands could be, in general, set consistently. Also, it seemed possible to set systematic and standardized boundary of wetlands and to provide more objective data for establishing national wetland policies, if maps of wetlands are made and an investigation of wetlands is implemented according to the criteria.

This study analyzed the ecological characteristics of the wetland protection area at tthe Nakdong River through vegetation and biota surveys, which showed that brackish water meets fresh water, a unique ecological environment has been created, biodiversity is high, and diverse habitats are distributed. Eleven plant communities, including four woody communities and seven grass communities, are distributed along the coast, and a total of 514 species, including 11 endangered wildlife species, were identified in terms of species diversity. Among them, the species diversity of the Eulsuk-do area was found to be relatively higher than that of other Barreir Islands areas. The presence of a population of Sterna albifrons on Sinja-do and a population of Eremias argus on Jinwo-do, an area outside the boundaries of the wetland protection area, confirmed the conservation value of the wetlands and the need to expand the boundaries of the wetland protection area. It is judged that this information can be used as basic information for a systematic conservation and management plan for the wetland protection area at the Nakdong River Estuary and as basic data to support the establishment of a policy.

A prototype surface flow constructed wetland was built in the upstream area of reclaimed tidal lands to improve the water quality of Lake Sihwa by treating severely polluted stream water. In this study, a tracer test using rhodamine-WT was performed to investigate the flow characteristics and to quantify the observed hydraulic residence time (HRT) for a high-lying cell in the Banwol wetland of the Sihwa constructed wetland. The tracer test indicated that even if flow was mainly observed in the open water area of the Banwol wetland, water flowed continuously in the vegetative area and there was no dead zone. The calculated HRT (51.3 hrs), calculated by dividing the wetland volume by the wetland inflow, exceeded the observed HRT (38.7 hrs), since the short-circuiting of flux resulting from irregular topography and vegetation was not reflected in the calculated HRT. The exit tracer concentration curves were reproduced well by both the plug flow with dispersion and tanks-in-series models, indicating that the performance of the Banwol wetland can be estimated accurately using these models.

This study was conducted to analyze the variation of hydro-geomorphological environment along Baekgok wetland, which experiencing periodical inundation, in that water-level fluctuation of reservoir caused by irrigation. Since the field data is unavailable, modeling techniques, involving models such as HSPF and TELEMAC-2D, have been applied to simulate hydrological cycle in watershed and hydrodynamics in channel scale. The result of simulation indicates that the water-level of reservoir determines both the water surface extension and water depth in the wetland. Furthermore, it also shows that water-level functions as a spatial limit factor for a fluvial environment and woody vegetation such as willow. The fact of which the scale of water-level fluctuation being larger than an average topographical relief along the wetland can explain the result. While the water-level kept high, the wetland is submerged and waterbody becomes lentic. In contrast, while the water-level is lowered, fluvial phenomena of which being dependent on flow rate and channel shape become active. Hence, the valid fluvial process is likely to take place only for 4 months annually just near the channel, and it advances to a conclusion expecting a deposition to be dominant among the wetland except for such area. It is anticipated that such understanding can contribute to establishing plans to preserve the geomorphological and ecological value of the Baekgok wetland.
