    Abstract During the May–June 2016 International Cooperative Air Quality Field Study in Korea (KORUS-AQ), light synoptic meteorological forcing facilitated Seoul metropolitan pollution outflow to reach the remote Taehwa Research Forest (TRF) site and cause regulatory exceedances of ozone on 24 days. Two of these severe pollution events are thoroughly examined. The first, occurring on 17 May 2016, tracks transboundary pollution transport exiting eastern China and the Yellow Sea, traversing the Seoul Metropolitan Area (SMA), and then reaching TRF in the afternoon hours with severely polluted conditions. This case study indicates that although outflow from China and the Yellow Sea were elevated with respect to chemically unperturbed conditions, the regulatory exceedance at TRF was directly linked in time, space, and altitude to urban Seoul emissions. The second case studied, which occurred on 9 June 2016, reveals that increased levels of biogenic emissions, in combination with amplified urban emissions, were associated with severe levels of pollution and a regulatory exceedance at TRF. In summary, domestic emissions may be causing more pollution than by transboundary pathways, which have been historically believed to be the major source of air pollution in South Korea. The case studies are assessed with multiple aircraft, model (photochemical and meteorological) simulations, in situ chemical sampling, and extensive ground-based profiling at TRF. These observations clearly identify TRF and the surrounding rural communities as receptor sites for severe pollution events associated with Seoul outflow, which will result in long-term negative effects to both human health and agriculture in the affected areas.

    Abstract Monitoring tidal dynamics is imperative to disaster management because it requires a high level of precision to avert possible dangers. Good knowledge of the physical drivers of tides is vital to achieving such a precision. The Taehwa River in Ulsan City, Korea experiences tidal currents in the estuary that drains into the East Sea. The contribution of wind to tide prediction is evaluated by comparing tidal predictions using harmonic analysis and three deep learning models. Harmonic analysis is conducted on hourly water level data from 2010–2021 using the commercial pytides toolbox to generate constituents and predict tidal elevations. Three deep learning models of long short-term memory (LSTM), gated recurrent unit (GRU), and bi-directional lstm (BiLSTM) are fitted to the water level and wind speed to evaluate wind and no-wind scenarios. Results show that Taehwa tides are categorized as semidiurnal tides based on a computed form ratio of 0.2714 in a 24-h tidal cycle. The highest tidal range of 0.60 m is recorded on full moon spring tide indicating the significant lunar pull. Wind effect improved tidal prediction NSE of optimal LSTM model from 0.67 to 0.90. Knowledge of contributing effect of wind will inform flood protection measures to enhance disaster preparedness.

    Abstract The river sediment is a sink for heavy metals flowed into a river from natural and anthropogenic sources. It can be a potential pollutant source in varying environmental conditions. The Taehwa River runs through Ulsan City with different geological terrains and different land uses. Hence, research on the determination of various factors affecting accumulation and mobility changes in heavy metals in the river sediment is important. The present research investigated the mineralogical compositions of the Taewha River sediment in addition to the distribution, speciation, sources, and contamination level of As and heavy metals. The sediment showed different mineralogical changes associated with flowing distance, indicating the influence of country rocks, comprising igneous rocks in the upper stream region and sedimentary rocks in the lower stream region, on mineral composition. The total concentrations of As and heavy metals in the sediment exhibited the order of Zn > Pb > Cr > Cu > Ni > As > Cd. The overall concentrations of As and heavy metals increased in the downstream region, albeit with varying degrees. According to the Environmental Protection Agency guideline for sediment pollution, including the index of pollution intensity (IPOLL) and the potential ecological risk index (RI), the sediment in the sampling stations was discovered to be polluted to varying degrees from anthropogenic activities. An abrupt increase in Pb, Zn, and Cd concentrations was observed at Station 3 in summer and fall, which was linked to the increased clay mineral content caused by seasonal and lithological changes. The sources of this increase can be attributed to a nearby industrial complex or the oxidation of sulfide minerals, which could be related to an abandoned amethyst mine. Sequential extraction studies show that potential toxicity varies for each metal. By comparison, metals such as Cr, Ni, and Cu with higher percentages in exchangeable fractions and fractions bound to carbonates can be highly toxic. The statistical analysis indicates that two groups of metals, one including Zn, Cd, and Pb and another including Cr, Ni, As, and Cu, had distinct origins.

    Abstract The needled leaves of three conifer species were collected in Mt. Taehwa during different seasons of the year. Total 59 isolates and 19 species of endophytic fungi were isolated from the leaves and identified using morphological and molecular characteristics. As a result, Shannon index was different in its host plant; Larix kaempferi had a highest value of species diversity. According to the sampling season, 9 species of 19 species were isolated during fall season. The results suggest that the existing of host plant and sampling season are major factors of distribution of endophytic fungi.

    Abstract: ... stable carbon, and stable nitrogen isotopic composition of PM2.5 at Taehwa Research Forest (TRF) near ...

    Abstract Isotopes are essential tools to apportion major sources of aerosols. We measured the radiocarbon, stable carbon, and stable nitrogen isotopic composition of PM2.5 at Taehwa Research Forest (TRF) near Seoul Metropolitan Area (SMA) during August–October 2014. PM2.5, TC, and TN concentrations were 19.4 ± 10.1 μg m−3, 2.6 ± 0.8 μg C m−3, and 1.4 ± 1.4 μg N m−3, respectively. The δ13C of TC and the δ15N of TN were − 25.4 ± 0.7‰ and 14.6 ± 3.8‰, respectively. EC was dominated by fossil-fuel sources with Fff (EC) of 78 ± 7%. In contrast, contemporary sources were dominant for TC with Fc (TC) of 76 ± 7%, revealing the significant contribution of contemporary sources to OC during the growing season. The isotopic signature carries more detailed information on sources depending on air mass trajectories. The urban influence was dominant under stagnant condition, which was in reasonable agreement with the estimated δ15N of NH4+. The low δ15N (7.0 ± 0.2‰) with high TN concentration was apparent in air masses from Shandong province, indicating fossil fuel combustion as major emission source. In contrast, the high δ15N (16.1 ± 3.2‰) with enhanced TC/TN ratio reveals the impact of biomass burning in the air transported from the far eastern border region of China and Russia. Our findings highlight that the multi-isotopic composition is a useful tool to identify emission sources and to trace regional sources of carbonaceous and nitrogen aerosols.

    Abstract Allometric equations for leaf, branch, stem and total above ground biomass of Pinus koraeinsis trees were developed with diameter at breast height(DBH) of trees, which were growing in a pine plantation with the stand density of 410 tree ha-1 and the average DBH of 29.1±5.2 cm in Mt. Taewha, Gyeonggi. Damage by Acantholyda parki reduced leaf biomass compared to other studies, however, its contribution to total biomass was minimal among parts. Comprehensive analysis revealed that constant in allometric equation for total above ground biomass (logY=a + blogX) was affected by average DBH and stand density, however, constant b was not. At the stand level, biomass for leaf, brach, stem, total above ground biomass were 6.68 Mg ha-1, 18.82 Mg ha-1, 101.02 Mg ha-1, 126.53 Mg ha-1, respectively. We developed a Korean pine stand biomass regression, which explained about 98% of variation with DBH and stand density based on comprehensive analysis.
