Abstract

On April 29, 2021 (1st), June 2 (2nd), and August 17 (3rd), we surveyed benthic macroinvertebrates fauna at Muljangori-oreum wetland in Bonggae-dong, Jeju Island, Korea. Muljangori-oreum wetland was divided into four areas. The survey was conducted in three accessible areas (areas 1-3). As a result of habitat environment analysis, the average monthly temperature from 2017 to 2021 was the highest in July and August and the lowest in December and February. This pattern was repeated. As a result of analyzing changes in vegetation and water surface area through satellite images, normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) increased from February to July and decreased after July. Normalized difference water index (NDWI) was analyzed to show an inverse relationship. A total of 21 species from 13 families were identified in the qualitative survey and a total of 412 individuals of 24 species from 15 families were identified in the quantitative survey. A total of 26 species from 17 families, 8 orders, 3 classes, and 2 phyla of benthic macroinvertebrates were identified. The dominant species was Chronomidae spp. with 132 individuals (32.04%). Noterus japonicus was a subdominant species with 71 individuals (17.23%). As a result of comparative analysis of species identified in this study and the literature, it was confirmed that species diversity was high for Coleoptera and Odonata. Main functional feeding groups (FFGs) were found to be predators. Habitat orientation groups (HOGs) were found to be swimmers. In OHC (Odonata, Hemiptera, and Coleoptera) group, 17 species (73.91%) in 2021, 23 species (79.31%) in 2016, 26 species (86.67%) in 2018, and 19 species (79.17%) in 2019 were identified. Cybister japonicus, an endangered species II, was confirmed to inhabit Muljangori-oreum wetland in the literature. Ten individuals (2.43%) were also confirmed to inhabit Muljangori-oreum wetland in 2021. Therefore, continuous management and habitat protection are required to maintain the habitat environment of C. japonicus in Muljangori-oreum wetland.

본 연구는 2021년 4월부터 8월까지 3차례에 걸쳐 제주도 봉개동에 위치한 물장오리오름 습지의 저서성 대형무척추동물상 및 군집구조를 파악하기 위해 수행되었다. 조사지점은 물장오리오름 습지를 4개의 구역으로 구분하였으며, 접근이 가능한 3개 구역(1 area~3 area)에서 조사를 실시하였다. 물장오리오름 습지의 서식지 환경을 분석한 결과, 월 평균기온은 7~8월에 가장 높고, 12~2월에 가장 낮은 양상이 2017년부터 2021년까지 반복되었다. 월 강수량은 2017년을 제외하고 2018년부터 2021년까지 장마철인 6월부터 9월에 가장 높은 것으로 분석되었다. 위성영상 분석을 통해 식생면적과 수 면적의 변동을 분석한 결과, NDVI는 2월부터 7월까지 증가하고 이후 감소하는 양상을 나타내었으며, NDWI는 반비례의 관계를 나타내는 것으로 분석되었다. 조사기간 동안 채집된 저서성 대형무척추동물은 총 2문 3강 8목 17과 26종이 출현하였으며, 정성조사 시 13과 21종, 정량조사 시 15과 24종 412개체가 출현하였다. 우점종은 깔따구류(Chronomidae spp.)가 132개체(32.04%)로 확인되었으며, 자색물방개(Noterus japonicus)가 71개체(17.23%)로 아우점하였다. 본 연구와 문헌에서 확인된 출현종을 비교·분석한 결과, 딱정벌레목과 잠자리목의 종다양성이 높은 것으로 확인되었으며, 주요 섭식기능군은 Predators, 서식기능군은 Swimmers로 분석되었다. OHC-group은 2021년에 17종(73.91%)이 확인되었으며, 2016년에는 23종(79.31%), 2018년에 26종(86.67%), 2019년에 19종(79.17%)이 출현하였다. 멸종위기야생생물 II급인 물방개(Cybister japonicus)가 문헌에서 서식하는 것으로 확인되었으며, 2021년에도 10개체(2.43%)가 조사되었다. 따라서 물장오리오름 습지에 서식하고 있는 물방개의 서식환경을 유지할 수 있도록 지속적인 관리와 서식지 보호가 필요할 것으로 생각된다.
