This present study investigated characteristics of distribution and community structure of macrobenthic invertebrates through the survey of commercial Danish seine fisheries from 2011 to 2013. In this study, a total of 28 species were sampled with a mean density of 32,568 ind./km2 and mean biomass of 1,649.5 kg/km2. The dominant species, comprising over 1.0% of the total number of individuals, were Chionoecetes opilio (11,203 ind./km2, 34.4%), Pandalus eous (9,247 ind./km2, 28.4%), Ophiuridae spp. (5,750 ind./km2, 17.7%), Argis lar (2,631 ind./km2, 8.1%), Neocrangon communis (994 ind./km2, 3.1%), Berryteuthis magister (612 ind./km2, 1.9%), Sepiola birostrata (499 ind./km2, 1.5%) and Strongylocentrotidae sp. (424 ind./km2, 1.3%). The dominant species, in terms of biomass, comprising over 1.0% of the total biomass, were C. opilio (1,167.2 kg/km2, 70.8%), B. magister (130.3 kg/km2, 7.9%), P. eous (102.4 kg/km2, 6.2%), Ophiuridae spp. (84.6 kg/km2, 5.1%), Enteroctopus dofleini (45.5 kg/km2, 2.8%), A. lar (35.7 kg/km2, 2.2%), Strongylocentrotidae sp. (25.0 kg/km2, 1.5%) and S. birostrata (22.1 kg/km2, 1.3%). Among them, S. birostrata, E. dofleini, Strongylocentrotidae sp. and Ophiuridae spp. were higher abundance and biomass in the shallow water (<200 meters in depth), whereas C. opilio, P. eous, A. lar, N. communis and B. magister were higher in the deep water (301 ~ 500 meters in depth).As the results of cluster analysis and non-metric multidimensional scaling (nMDS) analysis based on the Bray-Curtis similarity of fourth root transformed data for number of species and individuals, the macrobenthic invertebrates community by Danish seine survey was divided into two groups of station in the shallow water (<200 meters in depth, Group A) and the deep water (201 ~ 500 meters in depth, Group B). The major individual-dominant species was S. birostrata, Ophiuridae spp. and immature C. opilio in group A. But Group B was P. eous, A. lar, B. magister and mature C. opilio.

Red sorrel (Rumex acetosella L.), as one of exotic weeds in Korea, was dominated in grassland and reduced the quality of forage. Improving current pasture productivity by precision management requires practical tools to collect site-specific pasture weed data. Recent development in unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) technology has offered cost effective and real time applications for site-specific data collection. To map red sorrel on a hill pasture, we tested the potential use of an UAV system with digital cameras (visible and near-infrared (NIR) camera). Field measurements were conducted on grazing hill pasture at Hanwoo Improvement Office, Seosan City, Chungcheongnam-do Province, Korea on May 17, 2014. Plant samples were obtained at 20 sites. An UAV system was used to obtain aerial photos from a height of approximately 50 m (approximately 30 cm spatial resolution). Normalized digital number values of Red, Green, Blue, and NIR channels were extracted from aerial photos. Multiple linear regression analysis results showed that the correlation coefficient between Rumex content and 4 bands of UAV image was 0.96 with root mean square error of 9.3. Therefore, UAV monitoring system can be a quick and cost effective tool to obtain spatial distribution of red sorrel data for precision management of hilly grazing pasture

Waterbirds using rice fields has increased due to a decline of natural wetlands. The rice field is an essential habitat to supports the waterbird population. Although use of rice field by waterbirds has been widely documented, little information is available on distribution patterns of waterbirds under the pesticide use in rice fields. The current study conducted to understand the relationship between habitat use by waterbirds and pesticide applicatioins in rice fields. We monitored the distribution of waterbirds at Daeho reclaimed area in July 2013 to June 2014 and September 2014 to August 2015. As a results, three heron species (Black-crowned Night Heron Nycticorax nycticorax, Eastern Cattle Egret Bubulcus coromandus and Intermediate Egret Egretta intermedia) are more sensitive to pesticides use than other waterbird species in rice fields. Future studies are necessary to explore the relationship between bird’s distribution and management practices including pesticide use at different spatiotemporal scales.

In this study, we explain the environmental variables that mainly influence the spatial and seasonal pattern of Galerucella nipponensis in 38 wetland and stream located at mid-low Nakdong River. G. nipponensis were found at total of 32 wetland, was strongly positively correlated with the biomass of Trapa japonica (t=2.173, r2=0.013, p<0.05). In result of seasonal distribution during 3 years, the largest density of G. nipponensis adult were observed in summer (7~8 months), egg and larva was recorded in only early spring (4~5 months). Rainfall were negatively related with the seasonal distribution of G. nipponensis. They were more abundant in dry season (2015 year) than rainy seasons (2013~2014 year). Stable isotope analysis showed that the G. nipponensis consumed as food source no submerged leaf of T. japonica than other plant. However, utilization of T. japonica on Galerucella nipponensis were not influence to plant biomass and/or species composition in vegetated bed. Those considered as adaptive strategies for sustainable habitat maintenance that because T. japonica use as not only food source but also their lives for G. nipponensis.

Properties of aggregation and spatial distribution of fish were examined based on three lines in the South Sea of Korea using three frequencies (18, 38, and 120 kHz) of a scientific echosounder. The vertical distribution of fish was displayed using acoustic biomass namely nautical area scattering coefficient (NASC). As a result, at 120 kHz high NASC showed from water surface to 20 meters in deep while at 18 and 38 kHz very high NASC presented in 70 ~ 90 meters in depth, especially at line 3. Among three lines, the line 2 had lowest NASC. The horizontal distribution of fish using three frequencies together exhibited high NASC between the eastern South Sea and center of South Sea. In especial, NASC (801 ~ 1,920 m2/n·mile2) was observed along coastal waters from Busan to Tongyeong, Geoje, and Namhae. In regard with the property of aggregation of fish schools, the volume back-scattering strength (SV) of three lines presented close each other, however, the range of SV in the line 2 was shortest (-53.5 ~ -43.4 dB). The average distributional depth was deep in the order of L3 (32.8 ± 9.0 m), L1 (45.2 ± 9.5m), L2 (49.7 ± 5.6 m). The average altitude was high in the order of L3 (13.4 ± 10.3 m), L1 (17.0 ± 12.6 m), L2 (56.7 ± 5.6 m). The average length, thickness, and area were large in the order of L1, L3, and L2. This means that small sized fish schools were distributed near water surface in the line 2 while relatively large and similar sized fish aggregations between line 1 and line 3 appeared however, fish schools at line 3 had lower distributional depth and smaller compared to those at line 1. Acoustic data were visualized for demonstrating the entire circumstances of survey area. Additionally, there was no correlation between acoustic and trawl results.

This study described the spatial distributions of marine environmental factors such as water temperature, salinity, chlorophyll a concentration and turbidity, and characteristics of phytoplankton community such as species composition, standing crops and dominant species at 19 fishing ports around Jeju Island during the early summer of 2016. I analyzed bio-oceanographical characteristics using principal component analysis (PCA) of the environmental factors and biological parameters. Water temperature, salinity, chlorophyll a and turbidity ranged from 17.6 to 20.7℃, from 26.19 to 32.33 psu, from 0.76 to 7.13 μg L-1, and from 0.51 to 14.49 FTU, respectively. A total of 51 species of phytoplankton belonging to 35 genera were identified. In particular, diatoms and dinoflagellates accounted for more than 56.8% and 27.4% of all the species, respectively. Moreover, the number of phytoplankton species was controlled by salinity. Phytoplankton cell density ranged from 2.9 cells mL-1 to 185.9 cells mL-1. The dominant species were Navicula spp. Stephanopyxis turris, Eutreptiella gymnastica and Mesodinium rubrum. Environmental factors and the phytoplankton community varied greatly between sampling sites. According to PCA, the biological oceanographic characteristics of the around Jeju Island were characterized by meteorological factors such as air temperature, precipitation and discharge of ground water during early summer.

본 연구는 폭 7m, 길이 25m, 동고 3.2m의 토마토를 재배하는 온실에 공기순환팬을 설치하고 순환팬이 온실 내 온도 및 습도 분포에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. 기존의 순환팬 설치 기준(ASAE, 1997)을 참고하여 시험 온실에 순환팬 10대를 2열 및 다른 방향으로 설치하여 18시부터 다음날 8시까지 온실 내 온습도를 측정하였다. 온실 내 온습도는 온실을 9개의 격자망으로 나눈 후 온실 중앙부에서는 0.7m, 1.7m 및 2.7m 높이, 온실 좌우 측에는 0.7m, 1.7m 높이에 센서를 설치하였다. 공기순환 팬을 사용하지 않았을 때 온실 상하부의 온도 및 습도의 평균값은 14.7oC, 74.8%와 13.0oC, 85.6%로 온습도 차는 평균적으로 1.7oC, 10.8% 발생하였다. 공기순환팬 10대를 2열 및 다른 방향으로 설치하여 운용했을 때 온실 상하부의 온습도는 14.6oC, 75.9%와 14.5oC, 79.1% 로 온습도 차는 각각 0.1oC, 3.2%였으며 순환팬을 사용 하지 않았을 때와 비교하여 온실 상하부의 온도 및 습도 차가 감소하였다. 순환팬을 6대 및 5대로 줄여서 운용했을 때 온실 상하부의 온습도 차는 각각 0.3oC, 3.4%와 0.3oC, 4.0%로 나타나 순환팬 10대를 사용했을 때와 비슷한 효과를 보였다. 순환팬 10대를 2열 및 같은 방향으로 설치했을 때의 온실 상하부의 온습도 차는 0.5oC, 4.9%로 팬을 다른 방향으로 설치했을 때보다 온습도 차가 크게 나타났다. 온실 좌우측면, 전후면의 온습도 차를 살펴보면 순환팬을 사용하지 않았을 때 좌우 측면의 온습도 차는 0.3oC, 1.7%로 작아 팬을 사용했을 때와 큰 차이가 없었으나 순환팬을 사용하지 않았을 때 1.0oC, 4.2%로 나타났던 전후면의 온습도 차는 순환팬을 사용함으로써 감소하였다. 이는 공기순환팬이 온실 내 공기를 순환시켜 온풍난방 시 상부에 정체된 더운 공기나 열손실로 인해 온도가 다른 공기를 교반시킴으로써 온도 및 습도 차가 감소한 것이다. 폭 7m, 길이 25m, 동고 3.2m인 단동온실에서 날개 크기 230mm, 풍량 11m3/min의 공기순환팬을 사용하고자 할 때는 순환팬 5대를 2열로 설치하되 각 열을 방향을 다르게 하고 9m 간격으로 설치하여 운용하는 것이 가장 경제적이고 효과적일 것이다.

This study was conducted to predict the changes of potential distribution for invasive alien plant, Amaranthus viridis in Korea. The habitats of A. viridis were roadside, bare ground, farm area, and pasture, where the interference by human was severe. We used maximum entropy modeling (MaxEnt) for analyzing the environmental influences on A. viridis distribution and projecting on two different representative concentration pathways (RCP) scenarios, RCP 4.5 and RCP 8.5. The results of our study indicated annual mean temperature, elevation and precipitation of coldest month had higher contribution for A. viridis potential distribution. Projected potential distribution of A. viridis will be increased by 110% on RCP 4.5, 470% on RCP 8.5.

본 연구에서는 2010년 여름에 천수만에서 저층해수를 채집하여 용존산소와 영양염 농도를 측정하였다. 또한 benthic chamber내의 해수시료를 시계열로 채집하는 자동화된 Benthic Lander를 설치하여 해수-퇴적물간 영양염 플럭스를 측정하였다. 오염된 인공호수 유출수가 들어오는 천수만 북쪽에서는 저층수의 용존산소는 2 mg/l로 hypoxia의 존재 가능성이 확인되었다. 반면 남쪽 천수만 입구의 저층 용존산소는 5 mg/l이었다. 영양염은 용존산소와 반대의 분포 경향을 보였고, N/P ratio의 변화는 hypoxia에 의해 발생된 인산염의 탈착과 용출 때문으로 보인다. 만 북쪽 해역의 유기탄소 산화율과 산소소비율은 남쪽 만 입구 해역보다 약 2배 큰 값을 보였고, 영양염 benthic flux는 천수만 북쪽에서 4내지 6배 높았다. 이러한 결과는 해수-퇴적물간 물질 플럭스를 정확히 추정하기 위해서는 hypoxia의 역할에 대한 이해가 중요하다는 점을 시사해준다.

본 연구는 경기도 시화호를 대상으로 조간대 복원 전(2009~2011년)과 후(2012~2014년)의 조류군집 양상과 이용분 포변화를 알아보고자 수행되었다. 조간대 수조류는 복원 후에 약 4만여 개체가 증가하였다. 대부분 수조류가 증가하였 으며, 잠수성오리류는 감소하였다. 관찰된 각 수조류의 개체수 증감 변동 분석을 실시한 결과 도요·물떼새류가 복원 전과 비교하여 뚜렷한 개체수 증가를 보였다. 서식지 이용양상의 변화는 복원 후에 가장 넓어진 조간대 면적을 포함하고 있는 남측간척지 조간대와 내수면 조간대 지역으로서 이는 먹이원인 저서생태계의 변화와 연관된다. 복원된 시화호의 저서생태계는 기회종의 감소와 함께 오염에 민감한 평형종의 지속적인 증가로 안정화가 진행되었고 결과적으로 도요· 물떼새류의 서식에 환경적 여건이 개선되었음을 판단할 수 있었다. 결과적으로 조간대의 복원은 수조류의 이용 분포변 화에도 단시간에 영향을 주었다. 복원 전과 비교하여 모든 수조류가 넓은 면적의 조간대에 고르게 분포하였으며, 특히 도요·물떼새류와 고니·기러기류의 서식분포에 큰 변화를 준 것으로 확인되었다. 본 연구결과는 조력발전에 의한 인위적 인 조간대의 복원이 조류에 미치는 영향 연구로서 수행되었으며, 종다양성 측면에서 조간대의 중요성이 재확인 되었고 현재까지 긍정적인 변화를 보이고 있다. 향후 유사한 환경에서의 생물다양성 유지 및 증진을 위한 대안의 한 방법으로 방향성을 제시할 수 있을 것이다.

치악산국립공원 성남지구의 고도별 온도변화에 따른 관속식물의 수직분포 및 분포변화를 파악하기 위 해 성남공원지킴터(450m)에서 남대봉(1,181m)까지 해발 100m단위로 등분하여 8개 구간에 대한 식물목 록을 작성하였다. 총 4회에 걸쳐 현지조사를 실시한 결과 관속식물은 99과 275속 419종 6아종 39변종 5 품종 1교잡종의 총 470분류군으로 조사되었다. 해발 600m(WI=78.2℃·month)를 경계로 관속식물의 출 현종 수가 급격히 감소하였다. 귀화식물은 저지대(해발 600m 이하)에서 높은 비율로 출현하였다. DCA기 법을 이용하여 출현종의 고도별 분포변화를 분석한 결과, 해발 600m와 900m를 경계로 3개의 그룹으로 구분되었다. 구간별 관속식물 분포의 유사성 및 상이성을 확인함으로써, 고도에 따른 온도변화가 그 식 물분포의 양상에 영향을 미칠 수 있음을 확인할 수 있었다. 호적범위는 식물종의 분포를 결정하기 때문 에 기후변화에 의한 기온상승은 현재 생물종의 분포와 그 다양성에 영향을 미칠 것으로 판단된다. 따라 서 식물의 생태․환경적 특징과 분포역, 생육지의 변화를 파악하기 위한 지속적인 모니터링이 필수적이다. 나아가 이러한 자료를 토대로 기후변화에 따른 식물자원의 보전 및 관리방안을 마련해야 할 것이다.
