Abstract

This study was conducted to reclassify Cheongpung series based on the second edition of Soil Taxonomy, and to dicuss the formation of Cheongpung series distributed on the diluvial terrace. Morphological properties of typifying pedon of Cheongpung series were investigated, and physico-chemical properties were analyzed according to Soil survey laboratory methods manual. The typifying pedon of Cheongpung series has red (2.5YR 4/6) silty clay loam Ap horizon (0-18 cm), red (2.5YR 4/8) clay BAt horizon (18-35 cm), red (2.5YR 4/2) cobbly clay Bt1 horizon (35-65 cm), and red (2.5YR4/6) cobbly clay Bt2 horizon (more than 65 cm). The typifying pedon has an argillic horizon from adepth of 18 to more than 65 cm, and a base saturation (sum of cations) of less than 35% at 125 cm below the upper boundary of the argillic horizon. It can be classified as Ultisol, not as Alfisol. It has udic soil moisture regime, and can be classified as Udult. Also that meets the requirements of Typic Hapludults. It has 35% or more clay at the particle-size control section, and have mesic soil temperature regime. Therefore Cheongpung series can be classified as fine, mesic family of Typic Hapludults, not as fine, mesic family of Ultic Hapludalfs. Cheongpung series occur on moderately elevated diluvial terrace which have relatively stable geomorphic surface. They are developed as Ultisols with clay mineral weathering, translocation of clays to accumulate in an argillic horizon, and leaching of base-forming cations from the profile for relatively long periods under humid, and temperate climates in Korea.

Soil Taxonomy 분류체계 변화에 대응하여 홍적대지에 분포하고 있으며, Alfisols로 분류되고 있는 청풍통을 재분류하고, 그 생성을 구명하기 위하여 청풍통 대표단면의 형태적 특성을 조사하고, Soil Taxonomy의 표준 분석방법인 Soil survey laboratory methods manual에 따라서 토양을 분석하여 Laboratory data sheets를 작성하였다. Ap층 (0~18 cm)은 적색 (2.5YR 4/6)의 미사질식양토이고, BAt층 (18~35 cm)은 적색 (2.5YR 4/8)의 식토, Bt1층 (35~65 cm)은 적색 (2.5YR 4/8)의 둥근 자갈이 있는 식토, Bt2층 (65+ cm)은 적색 (2.5YR 4/6)의 둥근 자갈이 있는 식토이다. 청풍통은 홍적층을 모재로 하는 토양으로 고지대의 홍적대지에 분포하며, 주로 밭작물 재배에 이용되고 있다. udic 토양수분상과 mesic 토양온도상을 보유하며, 배수 양호하다. 청풍통은 0~18 cm 깊이에서 ochric 감식표층을 보유하고, 18~65 cm 이상의 깊이에서 점토집적층인 argillic층을 보유하고 있다. 그러나 기준 깊이에서의 염기포화도 (양이온 합)가 5.3%로 35% 미만이므로 Alfisols이 아니라 Ultisols로 분류되어야 한다. 청풍통은 udic 토양수분상을 보유하고 있으므로 Udults로 분류할 수 있으며, Hapludults의 분류조건을 충족시키고 있다. 또한 Typic 아군의 분류조건을 충족시키므로 Typic Hapludults로 분류할 수 있다. 토성속 제어부위에서의 토성속이 식질이고, 토양온도상이 mesic 온도상이기 때문에 청풍통은 Fine, mesic family of Ultic Hapludalfs가 아니라 Fine, mesic family of Typic Hapludults로 분류되어야 한다. 청풍통은 안정한 지형인 홍적대지에 분포하고 있으므로 토양이 거의 침식되지 않고 충적물이 별로 퇴적되지 않기 때문에 오랫동안 토양수의 하향이동에 따른 점토 집적작용과 염기용탈작용을 받았다. 그 결과 점토집적층인 argillic층을 보유하는 토양으로 생성 발달되었다. 또한 Alfisols과 Ultisols을 구분하는 가장 기본적인 분류기준인 기준깊이에서의 염기포화도 (양이온 합)가 35% 미만으로서 Alfisols이 아니라 강산성 토양인 Ultisols로 발달하였다.
