Abstract

Electrical conductivity (EC) is a major indicator of soil salinity. Measurement of EC in saturation-paste extract of soil (ECe) is a standard way to evaluate soil salinity. However, many of the data on soil salinity have been obtained by measuring the EC of 1:5 soil-water extract (EC1:5) or salt percentage which is calculated from EC1:5 by multiplying a conversion factor. We analyzed 90 soil samples collected from 9 reclaimed tidelands in Korea, and derived relationships between ECe and dilution factors (DF1:5) which can convert EC1:5 to ECe in 2 soil textural groups at 5 salinity levels. Regression equations between ECe and DF1:5 were DF1:5 = 1.3624In(ECe) + 5.1386($r^2=0.37^{***}$) for soils of more than 50% silt content, DF1:5 = 1.9505In(ECe) + 5.3679($r^2=0.66^{***}$) for soils of less than 50% silt content. And the relationship for all soils investigated was DF1:5 = 1.4001In(ECe) + 5.4865($r^2=0.51^{***}$). From the relationships, conversion factors for calculation of ECe from EC1:5 of salt percentage data were estimated for soils of different textures and salinity levels.

토양전기전도도는 토양의 염분농도의 주요 지표인데 표준방법으로 토양포화침출액의 전기전도도를 측정하여 사용하고 있다. 그러나 많은 토양 염분농도 관련 자료들이 토양과 물의 1:5 희석법으로 측정하고 있으며 환산 계수를 곱하여 염분%로도 제시되고 있다. 따라서 포화침출액법과 1:5 희석법으로 측정하여 제시되어 있는 자료 및 염분%로 표시되어 있는 자료들을 상호비교하는 데 있어서 필요한 환산계수를 도출하였다. 우리나라 서남해안에 조성된 9개 간척지에서 토양시료 90점을 채취 분석하여 2가지 토성조건과 5수준의 염분농도 조건별로 환산계수를 산출하였다. 포화침출액법과 1:5 희석법간의 환산 회귀식은 미사 함량 50%이상인 토양의 경우 DF1:5=1.3624ln(ECe)+5.1386 ($r^2=0.37^{***}$) 이었고 미사 함량이 50%이하인 토양의 경우 DF1:5=1.9505ln(ECe)+5.3679 ($r^2=0.66^{***}$) 이었으며, 토성을 고려하지 않은 전체 토양의 경우에는 DF1:5=1.4001ln(ECe)+5.4865 ($r^2=0.51^{***}$) 이었다. 이들 관계식을 토대로 하여 EC1:5와 염분%로 제시된 자료들을 ECe로 환산할 수 있는 계수 DF1:5와 DF%를 산출하여 제시하였다.
