Biomass and Net Primary Production of Quercus acutissima Natural Forest Ecosystems in Pohang

포항 지역의 상수리나무 천연림 생태계의 물질생산에 관한 연구

This study was carried out to estimate aboveground biomass and net primary production in an average 37-year-old Quercus acutissima stand of Pohang area. Ten sample trees were cut in the forest and soil samples were collected in August, 2001. Estimation for aboveground biomass and net primary production was made by the equation model Wt=$aD^b$ where Wt is ovendry weight in kg and D is DBH in cm. Total aboveground biomass was 115.47ton/ha in the study forest. The proportion of each tree component to total aboveground biomass was high in order of bolewood(63.9%), branches(19.8%), bolebark(16.2%) and leaves(1.2%) in the study forest. Aboveground total net primary production was estimated at 7.89ton/ha in the study area. The proportion of each tree component to total net primary production was high in order of bolewood, bolebark, branch, and leaves.

경상북도 포항 지역에서 생육하는 평균 수령 37년생 상수리나무 천연림 생태계의 지상부 현존생물량 및 연순생산량을 분석하기 위해 2001년 8월에 총 10주의 표본목을 선정 벌목하였다. 수식 Wt=aD/sup b/ 를 사용하여 추정한 지상부 총 현존생물량은 115.47ton/ha으로 나타났다. 부위별 구성비는 수간목부 63.9%, 생지부 19.8%, 수피 14.0%, 그리고 잎 1.2%의 순으로 높았다. 총 연순생산량은 7.89ton/ha이었으며, 부위별 구성비는 현존생물량의 경우와는 다르게 수간목부, 수피, 생지부, 그리고 잎의 순 이었다.
