Spatial Variability of Hydraulic Properties in a Multi-Layered Soils of Japanese Larch (Larix leptolepis) Stand

낙엽송림분의 다층구조 토광에 있어서 수리특성의 공간 변리

Soil structure and organic matter have been known to strongly affect water flow and solute transport, yet little information is available concerning soil hydraulic properties related to soil physical and chemical properties in the forest site. The purpose of this study was to quantify the spatial variability and spatial correlation of the measured parameter values from the plots established with the rainfall simulator on Japanese larch(Larix leptolepis) dominated site in Kwangju. Kyunggi-Do. Measurement of soil water flux and retention were made with the inherent soil texture, soil structure, and organic matter. The method was based on the observation that when water was applied at a constant rate to the soil surface on each plot. The method was simple to apply and consists of following steps: (i) Wet the soil from a rainfall simulator with several known discharge rates on a relatively leveled soil surface with and without organic matter. (ii) Once the borders of the ponded zone were steady, saturated hydraulic conductivity( $K_{s}$) and the matric flux function(F) was evaluated from a regression of flux vs. the reciprocal of the ponded area. A conductivity of the form $K_{i+}$$_1$ $_{c}$= $K_{i}$( $_{c}$) [1-d /dz] where flux continuity implies. For this, continuity of matric potential at the interface at all times are as follows: $_1$( $Z_{c}$) = $_2$( $Z_{c}$) = $_{c}$ for steady state intake from water ponded on the soil surface. Results of this investigation showed the importance of understanding spatial variability in wide differences of water retention and saturated hydraulic conductivity with respect to pore geometry and organic matter contents which influenced the water flux throughout the soil profile.l profile.ile.

본 연구는 경기도 광주지역의 낙엽송 임분에 인공 강우기를 설치하여 수리특성과 관련한 공간 변이와 상관관계를 구명하기 위하여 수행되었다. 수분유속과 보유능은 원래 토성, 구조와 유기물을 근거로 지표면에서 인공가우기로 수분을 일정속도로 가하면서 측정하였다. 이 방법은 간단히 유기물을 제거하거나 기존의 상태에서 수평한 지표면에 3가지의 강우 강도에서 실시하였으며 한편 경계면은 안정하며 포화상태의 습윤 토양에서 투수계수와 매트릭 유속기능을 조사하였다. 투수계수는 $_1$( $Z_{c}$) = $_2$( $Z_{c}$) = $_{c}$ 이라는 지속적 유속 조건하에서 $K_{i+}$$_1$ $_{c}$= $K_{i}$( $_{c}$) [1-d /dz]의 공식을 적용하였다. 본 연구 결과 토양내에서 유속에 영향을 미치는 공극 특성과 유기물 함량이 광범위하게 수분 보유능과 포화투수계수의 공간 변이에 영향을 미치는 것으로 조사되었다.것으로 조사되었다.되었다.
