With growing interest in biodiversity in rice paddies, efficient sampling methods for quantitative evaluation of aquatic macroinvertebrates are needed because of their important role in rice paddies’ food webs. For this reason, we sought a proper sampling method through comparing data collected by using aquatic net, quadrat, and core in rice paddies located in Chuncheon-si, Kangwon-do, Hongseong-gun, and Chungcheongnam-do. Because the frame of the net was rectangular and had a flat bottom, the area, sampledwith the aquatic net, was calculated by multiplying the net width by the sweeping length, All samples were taken from the space between the rows of rice plants. Twenty four taxa of macroinvertebrates were collected in Chuncheon and 28 taxa in Hongseong. In Chuncheon, the number of taxa was similar among three sampling methods (17-18 taxa), but the number of individuals was different (aquatic net, 1,317/㎡, quadrat, 1,368/㎡, core, 1,810/㎡). In Hongseong, the number of taxa sampled by aquatic net was the highest (aquatic net, 25 taxa, quadrat, 21 taxa, core, 16 taxa), but the core was the highest in the number of individuals (aquatic net, 1,586/㎡, quadrat, 2,595/㎡, core, 3,704/㎡). The efficiency of samplers differed among taxa. Most of aquatic insect taxa were more abundant in the aquatic net, while those living on or in the paddy substratum such as Oligochaeta and Chironomidae were collected more in the quadrat sampler. To collect quantitative data for aquatic insects as well as to produce inventory of rare taxa, we suggest, based on samplers used in this study, to take quantitative samples of 6 replications from each of the edge and inner zones of a rice paddy by using an aquatic net, and to take qualitative samples both from sides of levees and the inner zone of rice paddy by using an aquatic net.

本 연구는 濟州道內 放救用 野草地(마을共同收場)에서 野草類의 植生 및 收量性을 조사하여 草地改良 및 野草地의 利用度 增進을 위한 基鍵資料로 活用코자 放牧期間인 7 月부터 9 月까지 수행되었으며 quadrat method를 利用하여 조사한 結果는 다음과 같다. 1. 野草의 總草種은 64種으로 未本科 13草種, 두과 8草種, 엉거시科 12草種, 그리고 기타 31草 종으로 대부분 多年生 草類였다. 2.. 식생적性率은 띠 (Imperata cylindrica)

벼 이앙후에 발생되는 잡초를 조사하여 벼와의 경쟁적 영향을 해석함에 있어 가장 적은 노력으로 전체잡초발생상태를 대표할 수 있는 최소표본크기(minium quadrat size)와 최소표본회수(minimun quadrat number)를 초종일표본변적(species-area) 및 초종일표본회수(species-quadart number) 관계식에 의해 조사하였다. 1. 초종일표본면적, 또는 초종일표본회수 관계식에서 다같이 표본면적, 또는 표본회수가 증가하게 됨에 따라 얻어지는 초종증가는 처음에는 급속도로 증가하고, 서서히 증가속도가 완만해지며, 어느 한계점을 지나면 더 이상의 초종증가는 없이 평형상태를 유지하는 특징적인 곡선을 보였다. 2. 표본추출면적, 또는 표본 추출회수를 10% 증가시킴에 따라 얻어지는 초종 증가율이 10%되는 관계를 고려한 최소표본추출 회수는 3회였다.
