초록

한반도 낙엽활엽수림에서 멧돼지(Sus scrofa coreanus Heude)는 그 수효가 날로 증가하고 있으며 그들의 임상 교란은 광범위하게 일어나고 있다. 본 연구는 멧돼지의 임상을 파헤치는 교란이 토양생태계의 기능에 어떠한 영향을 미치는지 알아보고자 환경부 장기생태연구지소인 점봉산 지역에서 미생물량 C와 토양 효소의 활성 측정을 실시하였다. 멧돼지에 의해 생성된 교란지형은 표층토양과 하층토양이 섞인 흙더미와 파인 구덩이의 노출된 바닥 2종류로 구분하였고, 인근의 교란을 받지 않은 지역을 대조구로 설정하였다. 토양 유기물 함량은 유기물 함량이 높은 표층의 토양과 하층의 토양이 섞이면서 대조구에서 20.22%로 가장 높은 값이 나타났고, 흙더미와 구덩이의 바닥은 각각 16.91%, 15.52%를 나타내었다. 용적밀도는 구덩이 바닥 토양에서 가장 높은 값을 보였다. 미생물량 C와 토양 $CO_2$의 발생은 교란을 받지 않은 대조구에서 가장 높이 나타났으며 이는 토양의 유기물 함량과 양의 상관관계를 나타내었다. 토양의 cellulase와 invertase의 활성은 미생물량 C와 높은 상관관계를 나타내어 유기물의 함량이 토양 효소 활성에 영향을 미침을 나타내었다. 질산환원효소는 구덩이 바닥 토양에서 가장 높은 값을 나타내었고, 용적밀도와 높은 상관관계를 나타내어 토양 공극이 적은 다소 혐기적 조건에서 그 활성이 높게 나타났다. 본 연구의 결과 멧돼지의 파헤치는 교란은 토양의 물리적 특성을 변화시키고, 토양 효소의 활성에 영향을 미쳤다고 판단된다.

This study has been carried out to determine the effects of disturbances from wild boar grubbing on the functions of ecosystem. The experiments was performed in Mt. Jumbong of Long-term Ecological Research Sites of the Ministry of Environment. We measured soil physical properties, soil respiration($CO_2$), microbial biomass C, and soil enzyme activities from both disturbed and control plots. The disturbance sites were divided into two parts, mounds and pits. Soil organic matter contents were highest value at the control plots and lowest at the pit plots, respectively at 20.22% and 15.52%. The soil bulk densities were highest at the pit plots. Soil microbial biomass C and $CO_2$ evolution were significantly higher at the control plots compared to the disturbed plots. The results were positively correlated with soil organic matter contents. The cellulase activity and invertase activity in the soil showed similar pattern as the microbial biomass C and $CO_2$ evolution results. The cellulase activity and invertase activity in the soil were positively correlated with soil microbial biomass C. Soil organic matter contents seemed to affect the soil enzyme activities. The nitrate reductase activities were highest at the pit plots, which showed positive correlation with soil bulk density. The study results showed that the grubbing disturbances by wild boars induced the changes in soil properties, which affected soil microbial activities.
