Abstract

This study was conducted to reclassify Yongdang series based on the second edition of Soil Taxonomy : A Basic System of Soil Classification for Making and Interpreting Soil Surveys. Morphological properties of typifying pedon of Yongdang series were investigated and physico-chemical properties were analyzed according to Soil Survey Laboratory Methods Manual. The typifying pedon of Yongdang series has dark reddish brown (5YR 2/3) silt loam Ap horizon (0~14 cm), dark brown (7.5YR 2/3) silt loam BA horizon (14~32 cm), dark brown (7.5YR 2/3) clay loam Bt horizon (32~57 cm), dark yellowish brown (10YR 4/6) silty clay loam Btx1 horizon (57~110 cm), and dark yellowish brown (10YR 4/6) silty clay loam Btx2 horizon(more than 110 cm). That occurs on gently sloping lava plain and is derived from baslt materials. The typifying pedon has an argillic horizon from a depth of 32 to more than 110 cm and a fragipan from a depth of 57 to more than 110 cm. That has a base saturation (sum of cations) of 35% or more at 75 cm below the upper boundary of the fragipan. That can be classified as Alfisol, not as Inceptisol. The typifying pedon has udic soil moisture regime, and can be classified as Udalf. That has a fragipan with an upper boundary within 100 cm of the mineral soil surface, and keys out as Fragiudalf. Also that meets the requirements of Typic Fragiudalf. That has 18% to 35% clay at the particle-size control section, and has thermic soil temperature regime. Yongdang series can be classified as fine loamy, mixed, thermic family of Typic Fragiudalfs, not as fine loamy, mixed, thermic family of Aquic Eutrudepts.

제주도의 서부 및 북부 해안 지역에 분포하고 있으며 Aquic Eutrudepts로 분류되고 있는 용당통을 재분류하기 위하여 용당통 대표단면의 형태적 특성을 조사하고, Soil Taxonomy의 표준 분석방법인 Soil Survey Laboratory Methods Manual에 따라서 토양을 분석하여 laboratory data sheets를 작성하였다. Ap층 (0~14 cm)은 암적갈색 (5YR 3/2)의 양토이고, BA층 (14~32 cm)은 암갈색 (7.5YR 3/2)의 양토, Bt층 (32~57 cm)은 암갈색 (7.5YR 3/2)의 식양토, Btx1층 (57~110 cm)은 암황갈색 (10YR 4/6)의 미사질식양토, Btx2층(110+ cm)은 암황갈색 (10YR 4/6)의 미사질식양토이다. 현무암을 모재로 하는 토양으로 용암류 평탄지에 분포하며, 주로 밭으로 이용되고 있다. 용당통은 andic 토양 특성을 보유하고 있지 않으며, Bt층에서 Btx2층 (32~110+ cm)까지 점토집적층인 argillic 층위를 이루고 있고, 전 토층에서 염기포화도 (양이온 합)가 35% 이상으로 높다. 따라서 용당통은 Inceptisols이나 Andisols이 아니라 Alfisols로 분류되어야 한다. Udic 토양수분상을 보유하고 있으므로 용당통은 Udalfs 아목으로 분류될 수 있다. 무기질 토양표면으로부터 100cm 이내 깊이에 fragipan을 보유하고 있으므로 대군은 Fragiudalfs로 분류된다. 용당통은 Fragiudalfs의 전형적인 특성을 나타내므로 아군은 Typic Fragiudalfs로 분류된다. 토성속 제어부위에서 직경 75 mm 미만 입자 중 0.1~75 mm 입자 함량이 15% 이상이고, 세토 중 점토함량이 18-35%이므로 fine loamy 토성속에 속한다. 또한 thermic 토양 온도상을 보유한다. 따라서 용당통은 Fine loamy, mixed, thermic family of Aquic Eutrudepts가 아니라 Fine loamy, mixed, thermic family of Typic Fragiudalfs로 분류되어야 한다.
