Abstract

From March 1998 to August 2000, the phonology and morphometrics change of Zostera caespitosa Miki were examined at the Duksan Port in the eastern coast of Korea. Morphometric characteristics (shoot height, leaf length, sheath length, leaf width, and number of leaf per shoot), size and number of reproductive structures (spathe, spadix, and seeds), shoot density, biomass and physiochemical parameters (water temperature and nutrient concentrations) were measured. Significant differences between months (p < 0.05) existed for morphometric characteristics except for sheath length. The sequence of shoot heights clearly showed cyclical annual variation with water temperature. Vegetative shoots of Z. caespitosa were present throughout the year, but reproductive shoots were rarely occurred from mid January to early April in water temperature of $9-12^\circ{C}$. Flowering in the spathe began in mid February, and seed maturing was occurred in early April. Water column nitrate and phosphate concentration showed seasonal variation, but ammonia concentration was variable with season. Relationships between shoot morphometrics and physiochemical parameters were not significantly correlated but water temperature seemed to regulate the re-productive phase and annual life cycle. The mean shoot density and above biomass of the populations were $511.6\pm{25.6}\;shoots\;m^{-2}$ and $413.4\pm{19.8}\;g\;dry\;wt\;m^{-2}$, respectively.

동해 덕산항에 생육하는 포기거머리말(Zostera caespitosa Miki)군집의 생물계절학과 형태 변이를 1998년 3월부터 2000년 8월까지 조사하였다. 포기거머리말의 형태적인 형질(식물체 길이, 잎 길이, 엽초 길이, 잎 너비와 잎 수),생식 형질(불염포, 육수화서와 종자)의 수와 크기, 생육밀도, 생물량과 이화학적 특성 (수온, 영양염 농도)을 관측하였다. 형태적인 형질은 엽초를 제외하고 계절에 따라 유의한 차이 (p<0.05)를 나타내었다. 식물체길이는 수온에 따라 명확한 년 순환을 나타내었다. 영양지는 지속적으로 출현하였으나 생식지는 1월 중순부터 4월초까지 적은 수만이 출현하였다. 포기거머리말의 개화기는 2월 중순부터 시작되었으며, 4월초에 성숙한 종자가 출현하였다. 해수내의 질산염과 인산염의 농도는 계절에 따른 차이를 나타내었으나, 암모니아의 농도는 계절에 따라 다양하게 나타났다. 식물체의 형태적인 형질과 이화학적인 형질은 유의한 상관관계를 나타내지 않았으나, 포기거머리말 생식 단계와 생활사는 수온에 영향을 받는 것으로 추정된다. 덕산항에서 포기거머리말군집의 생육밀도와 지상부 생물량은 각각 $511.6\pm{25.6}\;shoots\;m^{-2}$$413.4\pm{19.8}\;g\;dry\;wt\;m^{-2}$로 추산되었다.
