Abstract
The aims of this study are to clarify the geomorphological development of a alluvial plain and discuss the vegetation environments and agriculture activities in the Wangpo-River alluvial plain at Neungsan-ri, Buyeo by analyzing geomorphological classification, sedimentary facies and age datings. The alluvial plain at Wangpo-River was formed by the influences of Geum-River with the sea-level rising during the Holocene. The basin of Wangpo-River consists of natural levees, back marsh-type alluvial plains, valley plains and hills. The natural levees by Geum-River largely distributes at the area where Wangpo-River flows to Geum-River and the alluvial plains at the middle and lower reach are the back marsh areas of Geum-River. Moreover, the area along Wangpo-River show higher contents of coarse materials and thinner peat sediments than the back marsh. The lower sandy deposits in the alluvium of Wangpo-River was formed with the influences of human in the Bronze Age during the sea level falling and the peaty deposits was formed due to the water level rising of Wangpo-River during the sea level rising in the early Iron Age.
부여 능산리 왕포천 유역 충적평야에서 지형면 분류, 퇴적상분석, 연대측정 등을 행하여 충적평야의 지형발달을 밝히고 식생환경과 농경활동에 대해 고찰하였다. 왕포천 충적평야는 홀로세 해면상승과 함께 대하천인 금강의 영향을 크게 받아 형성되었으며, 자연제방, 배후습지성 범람원, 곡저평야, 구릉지로 구성되어 있다. 왕포천이 금강에 합류하는 곳에 금강의 자연제방이 폭넓게 나타나고, 중, 하류부 충적평야는 금강의 배후습지가 된다. 또한 왕포천 연안이 배후지역보다 조립질 함량이 높고 토탄층이 얇았다. 왕포천 충적층의 가장 하부 모래층은 해면하강기에 청동기인의 영향을 받아 퇴적되었고, 초기철기시대의 해면상승기에 왕포천의 수위가 높아지면서 토탄층이 형성되었다.
