Abstract

To estimate the contribution of epiphytic algae attached on reed to organic matter production in constructed wetland, primary productivity by epiphytic algae was investigated in two sub-wetlands (Banweol and Donhwa wetlands) of the Sihwa Constructed Wetland (CW) with different chemistry of inflows. Chlorophyll a concentration of epiphytic algae was higher in the Banweol wetland (range:37~3,581 mgChl.a/$m^2$surface stem, average:655 mgChl.a/$m^2$surface stem) than the Donhwa wetland (range:87~2,093 mgChl.a/$m^2$surface stem, average:527 mgChl.a/$m^2$surface stem). In contrast, assimilation number (AN) representing photosynthetic activity was higher in the Donhwa wetland with low TN/TP ratio than the Banweol wetland. A negative correlation (r=0.46) was observed between TN/TP ratios of inflows and AN in two wetlands, implying that high photosynthetic activity of epiphytic algae may be related with low TN/TP ratio. The areal primary productivity ranged from 307 to 2,473 mgC/$m^2$/day in the Banweol wetland and from 756 to 2,096 mgC/$m^2$/day in the Donghwa wetland, showing high productivity in summer. Average primary production was lower in the Banweol wetland (1,166 mgC/$m^2$/day) than the Donghwa wetland (1,467 mgC/$m^2$/day), although the standing crop (as chlorophyll a concentration) was high in the Banweol wetland. This result may be due to the low photosynthetic activity of epiphytic algae in the Banweol wetland with high TN/TP ratio. The annual primary production (300 tonC/year) of epiphytic algae contributed 33% of the total production in the Sihwa CW. An excessive organic matter production in constructed wetland can negatively affect the efficiency of water treatment. Therefore, the role of epiphytic algae should be considered in management of constructed wetland for water treatment.

시화호 인공습지의 유기물생산에 대한 갈대부착조류의 기여도를 평가하기 위하여 유입수의 수질특성이 다른 두 습지(반월천습지와 동화천습지)에서 4월부터 10월까지 매월 부착조류의 1차생산력을 측정하였다. 부착조류의 현존량은 반월천습지와 동화천습지에서 각각 37~3,581 mgChl.a/$m^2$surface stem(평균 655 mgChl.a/$m^2$surface stem), 87~2,093 mgChl.a/$m^2$surface stem(평균 527 mgChl.a/$m^2$surface stem)의 범위로 동화천습지에 비해 반월천습지에서 큰 값을 보였다. 반면 부착조류의 광합성효율을 나타내는 동화계수(assimilation number; AN)는 반월천습지에 비해 TN/TP 비가 작은 동화천습지에서 높았다. 두 습지로 유입되는 유입수의 TN/TP비와 AN사이에서의 음의 상관(r=0.46)으로부터 부착조류의 높은 광합성효율은 낮은 TN/TP와 관련이 있는 것으로 사료된다. 부착조류의 단위면적당 일일 1차생산력은 반월천습지에서 307~2,473 mgC/$m^2$/day, 동화천습지에서 756~2,096 mgC/$m^2$/day로 두 습지 모두 여름에 높은 값을 보였다. 두 습지의 평균 1차생산력은 반월천습지가 부착조류의 현존량이 큼에도 불구하고 1,166 mgC/$m^2$/day으로 동화천습지(1,467 mgC/$m^2$/day)에 비해 낮았다. 이는 AN 값에서 알 수 있듯이 반월천습지의 광합성효율이 동화천습지에 비해 낮았기 때문으로 판단된다. 시화호 인공습지에서 갈대부착조류에 의한 연간 총 유기물생산은 300 tonC/year(습지 전체 유기물생산의 33%)로 습지내 유기물생산에 부착조류의 기여가 큰 것으로 나타났다. 습지내 과도한 유기물생산은 습지의 수처리효율을 저하시킬 수 있으므로 수처리용 인공습지의 관리에 있어서 갈대부착조류의 역할이 고려되어야 한다.
