The buffer green space of Sihwa industrial complex is located on the boundary of residential areas and industrial areas, and this regions have been the ability to mitigate environmental impact of noise, vibration, atmospheric. In this area, the survey of vegetation and bird was conducted to understand the biology structures and function of buffer green space from biology habitats and natural recovery for ecology restoration. The survey was performed four times according to the season. As a result, vegetation were distributed to the most widely Pinus thunbergii community (72.2%) in the whole survey area (approximately 0.32 km2), and grasslands (6.6%), Amorpha fruticosa community (4.1%), Koelreuteria paniculata community (4.0%), Acer buergerianum community (3.9%) in the order of distribution. The characteristics of vegetation distribution were mainly planted Pinus thunbergii in outlying areas, and Koelreuteria paniculata, Acer buergerianum, Sophora japonica, Quercus acutissima were planted in the middle areas. The birds observed in this area were a total of 37 species, 912 individuals, the species of legal protection were observed Falco tinnunculus 1 individuals. The most of birds observed in this area were the resident that can be observed easily in the park and greenland surrounding urban. The waterfowl almost were not observed because of lacking water space. Thus, as providing safe habitats and movement passageway of wildlife, the connection of ecological green areas will be strengthened.

This study was conducted to analyze the distributional status of endangered birds inhabit in Seongmo, Gyodong, Boreum Islands in 2009 from spring to autumn. The endangered birds observed in this area were a total of 16 species. The areas preferred to endangered birds were largely divided into the forest type of low mountain areas, the coast type of foreshore and mudflat areas and the open type of agricultural land. The forest type was mainly observed birds of prey, the coast type was mostly identified water birds and the open type was shared with birds of prey and water birds. The information in these endangered birds is determined that can be used as a basis data for protecting certain birds and habitats.

This study was conducted to determine the micro-hotspot for bird habitats in Yeongheung Island. We analyzed the spatio-temporal changes in the distribution based on species diversity, species richness at the 13 focal areas, which was classified in five categories depending on the types of habitats, using Analysis of Variance Test for four years (2006~2009). The distribution of birds was different depending on areas, seasons but not years. The forests of two areas of 13 areas were determined as the micro-hospot in three season (spring, summer, autumn), which is consistent for 4 years. This study provides the new analytical method that habitats for birds are systematically characterized through micro-hotspot using the spatio-temporal analysis.

This survey was conducted on Gyodong, Seokmo, and Boleum Islands during the spring, summer, and autumn in 2009. In these three islands, observed birds were total 177 species, 71,165 individuals; 112 species, 36,242 individuals in Gyodong Is., 111 species, 22,754 individuals in Seokmo Is., and 137 species, 12,169 individuals in Boleum Is., respectively. Breeding birds in three islands were 30 species (Podiceps ruficollis, Charadrius dubius, Larus crassirostris, Larus cachinnans, Egretta alba, Egretta intermedia, Egretta garzetta, Bubulcus ibis, Ardeola bacchus, Nycticorax nycticorax, Platalea minor, Anas poecilorhyncha, Falco tinnunculus, Streptopelia orientalis, Phasianus colchicus, Dendrocopos kizuki, Dendrocopos major, Hirundo rustica, Motacilla alba, Lanius bucephalus, Phoenicurus auroreus, Monticola solitarius, Paradoxornis webbianus, Phylloscopus coronatus, Parus palustris, Parus major, Parus varius, Passer montanus, Sturnus cineraceus, Pica pica). Among observed birds, endangered species designated by Ministry of Environment in Korea were Egretta europhotes, Falco peregrinus, and Platalea minor belonging to level I, and Anas formosa, Anser cygnoides, Haematopus ostralegus, Gallicrex cinerea, Buteo buteo, Pernis ptilorhynchus, Falco amurensis, Falco subbuteo, Bubo bubo, Numenius madagascariensis, Accipiter gularis, Accipiter gentilis, Anser fabalis, Ixobrychus eurhythmus, Buteo hemilasius, Grus monacha, and Anser erythropus belonging to level II, respectively.

광주광역시 향등지역에서 화강암의 풍화에 따른 토양단면의 지화학적 특성을 파악하기 위하여 11개의 시료를 화학분석 하였다. 모암에서부터 풍화암까지 주성분원소 중 Si, Ca, Na, Mg, P, Mn은 감소하고 Ti, Fe, K는 증가하는 경향을 보인다. 미량성분원소의 경우 Rb, Sr, Pb, Ba은 증가하는 경향을 보이며, As, Co늘 감소하는 경향을 보인다. 또한 Zn, Cr, Ni등은 부분적으로 집적된 경향을 보이나 전체적으로는 모암과 풍화토에서 거의 비슷한 함량을 갖는다. 희토류원소는 전체적으로 상부로 갈수록 증가하는데 경희토류원소(LREE)는 풍화초기에 기반암에서 용탈되어 풍화암(saprock)에서 집적되지만, 중희토류원소(HREE)의 경우는 상대적으로 집적되지 못하여 풍화초기에 약간 감소하는 경향을 나타낸다.
