Abstract

Soil respiration in forest ecosystems play an important role in global carbon cycle. This study was carried out to determine the annual variation of soil $CO_2$ efflux for 4 years in a broadleaved deciduous forest of the Geumsan (Mt.) Long-Term Ecological Research (GLTER) site in Southern Korea. The soil $CO_2$ efflux in the GLTER site showed annual variations with the fluctuations of annual mean soil temperature, but not with those of soil water content. The annual mean soil $CO_2$ efflux except for winter season was 0.32 g $CO_2\;m^{-2}h^{-1}$ for 2008, 0.40 g $CO_2\;m^{-2}h^{-1}$ for 2009, 0.41 g $CO_2\;m^{-2}h^{-1}$ for 2007, and 0.54 g $CO_2\;m^{-2}h^{-1}$ for 2010. The lowest soil $CO_2$ effluxin 2008 was associated with the lowest soil temperature ($2.0^{\circ}C$) in comparison with those of other years ($13.0-13.5^{\circ}C$). The exponential relationships between monthly soil $CO_2$ efflux and the corresponding soil temperature at the soil depth of 20 cm were significant ($R^2$ = 0.31-0.75, P < 0.05). The results indicate that the annual variation of soil $CO_2$ efflux was attributed to the variations of soil temperature rather than soil water content in the GLTER site.

산림생태계 토양 호흡량은 지구탄소순환에 중요한 역할을 한다. 본 연구는 금산 장기생태 연구 조사지 낙엽활엽수림을 대상으로 4년 동안 토양 이산화탄소 방출량의 연 변동을 조사하였다. 금산 장기생태 연구 조사지 월별 토양 이산화탄소 방출량은 토양온도 변화와 밀접한 관계가 있었으며 토양수분함량과는 뚜렷한 경향을 보이지 않았다(P > 0.05). 동절기(1월과 2월, 2007년의 경우 1월부터 3월)를 제외한 평균 토양 이산화탄소 방출량은 2008년 0.32 g $CO_2\;m^{-2}h^{-1}$, 2009년 0.40g $CO_2\;m^{-2}h^{-1}$, 2007년 0.41g $CO_2\;m^{-2}h^{-1}$, 2010년 0.54 g $CO_2\;m^{-2}h^{-1}$ 순이었으며, 2008년의 연 평균토양온도는 $12.0^{\circ}C$로 다른 연도의 토양 온도 $13.0-13.5^{\circ}C$에 비해 유의적으로(P<0.05) 낮았다. 토양 이산화탄소 방출량과 토양 20cm 깊이의 토양온도는 지수함수 관계가 있었으며 ($R^2$ = 0.31-0.75, P < 0.05), 토양수분함량은 토양 이산화탄소 방출량과 유의적인 관계가 없었다(P > 0.05). 본 연구 결과에 따르면 금산장기생태연구 조사지 토양 이산화탄소 방출량의 연 변동은 토양수분보다는 토양온도 변화와 관계가 있었다.
