우리나라 토양(土壤)의 반응(反應)(pH)에 대(對)하여 최근(最近) 설정(設定)된 160개(個) 토양통(土壤統)을 중심(中心)으로 토지이용(土地利用) 현황별(現況別) 퇴적양식별(堆積樣試別) pH와 pH 측정조건간(測定條件間)의 상관(相關) 관계(關係)를 조사(調査)한바 그 결과(結果)를 요약(要約)하면 다음과 같다. 1. 우리나라 대표(代表) 토양(土壤)들의 토지이용별(土地利用別) 표시토(表尸土)의 평균(平均) pH($H_2O$) 값은 답토양(畓土壤) $5.3{\pm}0.6$, 전토양(田土壤) $5.5{\pm}0.9$, 임야지(林野地) $5.4{\pm}0.5$, 초지(草地) $5.3{\pm}0.6$이였으며 전체(全體) 평균(平均)은 $5.4{\pm}0.7$이였다. 2. 상기(上記) pH값은 pH(KCl)값으로 답토양(畓土壤) $4.2{\pm}0.6$, 전토양(田土壤) $4.2{\pm}0.8$, 임야지(林野地) $4.0{\pm}0.6$, 초지(草地) $4.3{\pm}0.6$이며 전체(全體) 평균(平均)은 $4.2{\pm}0.6$이다. 3. 시위별(尸位別) pH값은 A시(尸)보다 B시(尸) C시(尸)으로 갈수록 높은 경향(傾向)을 보여주었다. 4. pH(field), pH($H_2O$) pH(KCl)간(間)에는 유의(有意)한 상관(相關)을 보여 주었으며 그 관계(關係)는 전(田), 초지(草地), 임야(林野), 답(畓)의 순(順)으로 현지(現地)에서 비색법(比色法)으로 측정(測定)하는 pH(field)값도 상당(相當)히 정확(正確)한 측정치(測定値)를 얻을 수 있었다. 5. 퇴적양식별(堆積樣式別) pH값은 표시토(表尸土)에 대(對)한 pH($H_2O$)에서 산악지(山岳地) 및 구릉지(丘陵地) 잔적(殘積)이 하해혼성충적이나 홍적(洪積)보다 높았고 pH(KCl)에서는 하해혼성충적이 산악(山岳) 및 구릉지(丘陵地) 보다 높아서 앞으로 토양(土壤) pH값의 대표(代表)는 pH(KCl)고 하는것이 합리적(合理的)인 것으로 생각된다.
This report was presented to explain the relationships between various soil pH based on the present land use, nodes of depositions, and pH measurement methods ($H_2O$ and KCl extract). The samples were collected from 160 soil series in Korea. The results were summarized as follows. 1. The average pH ($H_2O$) of surface soil were $5.3{\pm}0.6$ for paddy soils, $5.5{\pm}0.9$ for upland, $5.4{\pm}0.5$ for forest soils, $5.3{\pm}0.6$ for grassland and $5.4{\pm}0.7$ for country average. 2. The average pH (KCl) of surface soil were $4.2{\pm}0.6$ for representative soils. Paddy soils had $4.2{\pm}0.6$; upland $4.2{\pm}0.8$; forest soils, $4.0{\pm}0.6$; and grassland, $4.3{\pm}0.6$. 3. The soil pH in B and C horizons were generally higher than that of A horizons. 4. The soil pH in field were correlated with lab. soil pH ($H_2O$) and pH (KCl). Field soil pH measured by pH kit could be highly accepted in accuracy compared with lab. pH of upland, grassland, forest and paddy soils. 5. Soil pH ($H_2O$) of surface based on mode of depositions was generally higher in residuum of mountainous and hilly land than those of Fluvio-marine deposits and old alluvium, however soil pH (KCl) was higher in fiuvio-marine deposits than those of mountainous and hilly land. It was shown that soil pH (KCl) was more reasonable than that of soil pH ($H_2O$) in practical use.
