Abstract

RDA has been conducting soil survey for farmland all over the korean countries (1964-1999), including small islands and areas of the civilian passage restriction line (2000-present). We conducted a soil survey in Dokdo and Ulreungdo islands and found a new soil series "Dokdo" in Dokdo island. Soil properties of Dokdo were similar to those of Ulreungdo. Representative profiles of Dokdo soil was located at the south 20m of Daehan peak on Seodo (longitude $131^{\circ}$51'53", latitude $37^{\circ}$14'35"), Dokdo. The soil series "Dokdo" was interpreted as the soils were derived from trachyandesite, trachyte, rhyolite, and tuff. The soil properties of Dokdo series were classified as different ones from Korean soil series previously. The soil depth of Dokdo series was very shallow (0-20cm) and soil layer was consisted of very dark brown (10YR 2/2) rocky sandy loam and dark brown (7.5YR 3/2) gravelly silt loam in AC layer. The soils of Dokdo displayed characteristics of a mesic temperature regime, similar as Ulreungdo soils, which were classified as coarse loamy, mesic family of Lithic Udorthents. The total area of Dokdo soil was 18.7 ha, containing Dongdo (7.3 ha), Seodo (8.9 ha), and the others (2.6 ha). The area of Dokdo series in Dokdo was 10.47 ha (Dongdo 4.13 ha, Seodo 6.34 ha) and 808.56 ha in Ulreungdo, where the total soil area was 7,256 ha.

농촌진흥청에서는 농경지뿐 만 아니라 우리나라 전국토에 대한 토양조사를 수행하였으며 (1964-1999) 일부 도서지역이라든가 민통선 해제지역 등의 토양조사를 계속적으로 수행하여 왔다 (2000-현재). 그 일환으로 독도에 대한 토양조사를 수행하였으며 아울러 이와 유사한 토양들을 울릉도에서도 발견할 수 있었다. 서도의 대한봉 남쪽 20 m 지점 (경도 $131^{\circ}$51'53", 위도 $37^{\circ}$14'35")에서 대표단면을 선정하였다. 조사지역은 주로 조면안산암 유래 토양으로 이외에도 조면암, 유문암, 응회암등이 혼재하고 있다. 기존 분류되어 있는 토양과 달라 고유의 토양명을 부여할 필요가 있다고 판단되어 토양은 "독도통"으로 명명하였다. 토심이 매우 얕아 대체적으로 0-20 cm 정도였으며, A층은 농암갈색 (10YR 2/2)의 바위가 있는 사양토이고 AC층은 암갈색 (7.5YR 3/2)의 자갈이 있는 미사질양토로 되어 있다. 독도의 토양은 울릉도 지역과 동일하게 mesic 토양온도상을 보유한다고 하여, Dokdo, coarse loamy, mesic family of Lithic Udorthents로 분류할 수 있었다. 독도는 총면적이 18.7 ha이며 동도는 7.3 ha, 서도는 8.9 ha 및 부속도서가 2.6 ha이다. 이 중 조사된 "독도통"의 면적은 동도 4.13 ha, 서도 6.34 ha, 울릉도 808.56 ha로 새로운 토양으로 설정하기에 충분한 면적을 가지고 있다.
