초록

습지는 생태적 중요성과 경제적 가치에도 불구하고 인간의 과도한 이용으로 인하여 교란받고 있을 뿐만 아니라 유수생태계인 하천에 비하여 습지 연구는 상대적으로 적다. 본 연구는 아열대 기후의 제주도에 분포하는 중·소형 습지 50개소를 대상으로 저서성 대형무척추동물 군집 특성과 주요 종의 분포 특성을 알아보기 위하여 2021년 현장조사를 실시하였다, 현장조사는 국립생태원의 "내륙습지 조사지침(2020)"에 따라 수행되었다. 조사기간 동안 출현한 저서성 대형무척추동물은 총 3문 5강 19목 53과 133종이었다. 습지별 출현종수는 4~31종의 범위였으며 평균 17.5종이 출현하였다. 포식성 곤충인 잠자리목과 노린재목, 딱정벌레목의 세 분류군은 출현종수와 개체밀도가 각각 전체의 67.7%와 68.2%를 차지하였는데, 특히 딱정벌레목의 구성비가 가장 높았다. 한편, 국가습지 유형분류체계에 따른 습지 유형별 출현종수와 개체밀도는 통계적으로 유의미한 차이가 없었다. 본 연구를 통하여 멸종위기 야생생물은 기수갈고둥과 물장군, 물방개의 총 3종이 확인되었으며 큰무늬왕잠자리를 비롯하여 제주도 내에만 국지적으로 분포하는 다수의 종이 기록되었다. 전체 대상 습지는 저서성 대형무척추동물 군집의 유사성에 따라 5개의 그룹으로 세분되었으며 각 그룹은 습지면적과 세립질 입자의 구성비, 습지 장축 길이, 수생식물 구성비의 항목에서 통계적으로 유의미한 차이를 보였다. 지표종분석(ISA) 결과에서 총 19종의 지표종이 선정되었는데, 노란실잠자리는 지표값이 63%로 가장 높았으며 그 다음으로 자색물방개와 깔따구류의 순이었다. 습지 환경과 생물 자료를 지속적으로 축적한다면 지표종의 환경변화에 따른 반응을 보다 객관적으로 제시할 수 있으며 습지생태계의 현재 상태를 평가하고 관리하기 위한 생물학적 지표 개발에 적용이 가능할 것이다. 본 연구 결과는 중·소형 습지에 대한 저서성 대형무척추동물의 생물다양성과 서식환경에 대한 정보를 제공하고 향후 습지 보전과 복원을 위한 기초자료로 활용되기를 기대한다.

Most wetlands worldwide have suffered from extensive human exploitation. Unfortunately they have been less explored compared to river and lake ecosystems despite their ecological importance and economic values. This is the same case in Korea. This study was aimed to estimate the assemblage attributes and distribution characteristics of benthic macroinvertebrates for fifty wetlands distributed throughout subtropical Jeju Island in 2021. A total of 133 taxa were identified during survey periods belonging to 53 families, 19 orders, 5 classes and 3 phyla. Taxa richness ranged from 4 to 31 taxa per wetland with an average of 17.5 taxa. Taxa richness and abundance of predatory insect groups such as Odonata, Hemiptera and Coleoptera respectively accounted for 67.7% and 68.2% of the total. Among them Coleoptera were the most diverse and abundant. Taxa richness and abundance did not significantly differ from each wetland type classified in accordance with the National Wetland Classification System. There were three endangered species (Clithon retropictum, Lethocerus deyrolli and Cybister (Cybister) chinensis) and several restrictively distributed species only in Jeju Island. Cluster analysis based on the similarity in the benthic macroinvertebrate composition largely classified 50 wetlands into two major clusters: small wetlands located in lowland areas and medium-sized wetlands in middle mountainous regions. All cluster groups displayed significant differences in wetland area, long axis, percentage of fine particles and macrophyte composition ratio. Indicator Species Analysis selected 19 important indicators with the highest indicator value of Ceriagrion melanurum at 63%, followed by Noterus japonicus (59%) and Polypylis hemisphaerula (58%). Our results are expected to provide fundamental information on the biodiversity and habitat environments for benthic macroinvertebrates in wetland ecosystems, consequently helping to establish conservation and restoration plans for small wetlands relatively vulnerable to human disturbance.
