This study carried out submerged area due to Dam construction in the near future. It
includes species classification of plant, survey of community structure, examination of
pollutant load and assessment of water quality impact.
The vascular plants of this area are listed 224 taxa 64 families, 168 genera, 193
species, 30 varieties and 1 form. This study area is classified into total
21communities, most community was consist of grass vegetation. Among the communities,
Erigeron annuus (869,286㎡, 22percent) community was dominant and Erigeron annuus-
Avena fatua comminity (16percent)was subdominant until May, and then Erigeron
canadensis community occupied most area to 1,774,985㎡ (32percent)from May to July.
For the evaluation of water quality impact due to submerged macrophyte, nutrient
release test was conducted both dead body macrophyte and living body macrophyte. The
results of release test show that T-N is not released at dead body macrophyte, but it
is released at living body macrophyte, especially living body Artemisia priceps var.
orientalis shows 1.436mgN/g. At release test of dead body macrophyte, T-P releaes rate
of Erigeron annuus show 0.500mgP/g at the top of them and it also shows 0.436mgP/g at
Erigeron annuus of living body macrophyte. T-N load of submerged macrophyte shows 0.76
percent by comparison of total load on watershed and T-P load of that shows
3.61percent. In case of removal macrophyte for reduction of pollutant load in
submerged area, T-N load of submerged macrophyte changes from 0.76percent to
0.15percent by comparison of total load on watershed and T-P load of that changes
from 3.61percentage to 0.72percent.
