Decomposition of Rice Straw and Compost in an Acid Sulfate Soil under Aerobic and Anaerobic Conditions

특이산성토양(特異酸性土壤)에 있어서 볏짚 및 퇴비(堆肥)의 분해(分解)에 관(關)한 연구(硏究)

The rate and extent of decomposition of rice straw and compost in an acid sulfate soil amended with urea and lime and incubated under aerobic and anaerobic(flooded) conditions were investigated in the laboratory. Results are summarized as follows: 1. The rate of compost(alone) decomposition in a flooded soil was more than twice as high as all other treatments, which included rice straw+urea, rice straw+lime, rice straw (alone), and compost+lime. Lime appeared to suppress the decomposition of compost in a flooded soil but actually enhanced its decomposition under aerobic conditions. 2. Compost decomposition in both anaerobic and aerobic environments was characterized by single maximum peak rates of $CO_2$ evolution that were reached soon after the start of incubation. 3. Both urea and lime greatly increased the rate and extent of rice straw decomposition in the soil when incubated aerobically, although urea had a greater effect than did liming. Decomposition rates were characterized by the appearance of two maximum peak rates, a greater primary peak and a smaller secondary peak. 4. The percent decomposition of rice straw in soil incubated aerobically was approximately half (10.8%) that of compost(23.1%). However, percent decomposition of these substrates in soil amended with lime was essentially the same; i.e., rice straw+lime (29.4%) and compost+lime(31.6%). 5. There is a need to investigate the possible interaction between the addition of lime (pH) and supplemental nitrogen applied to acid sulfate soils and how this interaction might affect the decomposition of organic wastes and residues.

금해특이산성(金海特異酸性) 토양(土壤)에 퇴비(堆肥) 및 볏짚을 시용(施用)하고 요소(尿素)와 석회(石灰)를 첨가(添加)했을 때 시용(施用)된 유기물(有機物)의 분해율(分解率)을 호기(好氣) 또는 혐기적조건하(嫌氣的條伴下)에서 조사(調査)했던바 다음과 같은 결과(結果)를 얻었다. 1. 혐기적조건하(嫌氣的條件下)에서 퇴비단용(堆肥單用)의 분해(分解)는 볏짚+요소(尿素), 볏짚+석회(石灰), 볏짚 단용(單用) 및 퇴비(堆肥)+석회(石灰) 보다 약(約)2배(培) 이상(以上)높은 분해경향(分解傾向)을 보였다. 2. 퇴비(堆肥)에 석회첨가시(石灰添加時) 혐기적조건하(嫌氣的條件下)에서는 퇴비(堆肥)의 분해(分解)를 저해(阻害)하는 경향(傾向)이나 호기적조건하(好氣的條件下)에서는 분해(分解)를 촉진(促進)하였다. 3. 호기적조건하(好氣的條件下)에서 볏짚에 석회(石灰)나 요소(尿素)의 첨가(添加)는 모두 볏짚의 분해(分解)를 현저(顯著)히 증가(增加)시켰으며 특(特)히 요소처리(尿素處理)가 석회처리(石灰處理) 보다 높은 분해율(分解率)을 보였다. 4. 호기적조건하(好氣的條件下)에서 시용유기물중(施用有機物中)에 들어 있는 총탄소함량중(總炭素合量中) 볏짚의 분해(分解)에 의(依)해 생성(生成)된 탄소량(炭素量)은 10.8%로 퇴비(堆肥)의 23.1%에 비(比)해 약(約) 1/2에 불과하였다. 5. 특이산성토양(特異酸性土壤)에 있어서 질소(窒素)와 석회(石灰)의 시용(施用)으로 인(因)한 유기물(有機物)의 분해(分解)에 미치는 상호작용(相互作用)에 관(關)하여는 더욱 연구(硏究)해 볼 필요(必要)가 있다.
