2000년 춘계에 한국 농촌지역인 충남 서산에서 대기부유분진(SPM)과 곰팡이포자의 관계에 대해 조사하였다. 부유분진의 농도는 1차 황사기간(3월 23-24일)에 199.8μg m-3, 2차 황사기간(4월 7-9일)에 249.4μg m-3, 비황사기간(5월 12-6일)에 98.9μg m-3으로 각각 나타났다. 2회의 황사기간들간에 부유분진 농도는 차이를 보였지만 5μm 정도의 입경 크기를

고리원전 주변 해역에서 1995년 11월부터 1996년 12월까지 총 13회의 현장조사를 수행하였다. 그 결과 식물플랑크톤은 총 162개 분류군(미동정종 포함)이 출현하였으며 그중 규조류가 총 120종이 출현하여 가장 많은 종수를 보였고 규질편모류 3종, 와편모조류 34종, 유글레나조류 2종, 녹조류 1종, 기타편모류 2종 등이 출현하였다. 규조류 종인 Skeletonema costatum은 연중 우점종으로 기록되었다. 식물플랑크톤 현존량의 월 평균값

The water quality and phytoplankton communities of the coastal waters of Inchon were investigated 4 times from May, 1995 to January, 1996. The characteristic of the study was shallow muddy bottom environment with high SS concentration. The water qualities were belong to the category of I-grade in DO, Ⅱ to Ⅲ grade in COD and Ⅲ-grade in inorganic nutrients such as T-N and T-P. Total 136 species of phytoplankton were observed in this study and species richness was on the decrease compared with the results of previous studies. The mean of phytoplankton species diversities was 1.93, decreased in recent years and the value in autumn was slightly higher than that in other seasons.

The community of phytoplankton and water quality were investigated 5 times from October, 1994 to October, 1995 in the east area of Chinhae Bay. Seasonal changes of environmental parameters were shown general pattern and related to the red tide mechanism of phytoplankton community. Seasonal variations of dissolved oxygen concentrations were affected by the photosynthetic activity of phytoplankton community and the increase of COD at the bottom water was occurred after the red tide. The standing stocks of phytoplankton in this study area ranged 202 - 1616 Cells·ml^-1 and the bloom(red tide) was formed from April to July. The diatom species, Skeletonema costatum was a dominant species all the year round and the dinoflagellate species, Alexandrium tamarense and Prorocentrum triestinum were red tide species increased standing stocks in phytoplankton bloom.
