Abstract

This study quantified, through a direct harvesting method, storage and annual uptake of carbon from open-grown trees for three landscape tree species frequently planted in the southern region of Korea, and developed quantitative models to easily estimate the carbon reduction by tree growth for each species. The tree species for the study included Camellia japonica, Lagerstroemia indica, and Quercus myrsinaefolia, for which no information on carbon storage and uptake was available. Ten tree individuals for each species (a total of 30 individuals) were sampled considering various stem diameter sizes at given intervals. The study measured biomass for each part of the sample trees to quantify the total carbon storage per tree. Annual carbon uptake per tree was computed by analyzing the radial growth rates of the stem samples at breast height or ground level. Quantitative models were developed using stem diameter as an independent variable to easily calculate storage and annual uptake of carbon per tree for study species. All the quantitative models showed high fitness with $r^2$ values of 0.94-0.98. The storage and annual uptake of carbon from a Q. myrsinaefolia tree with dbh of 10 cm were 24.0 kg and 4.5 kg/yr, respectively. A C. japonica tree and L. indica tree with dg of 10 cm stored 11.2 kg and 8.1 kg of carbon and annually sequestered 2.6 kg and 1.2 kg, respectively. The above-mentioned carbon storage equaled the amount of carbon emitted from the gasoline consumption of about 42 L for Q. myrsinaefolia, 20 L for C. japonica, and 14 L for L. indica. A tree with the diameter size of 10 cm annually offset carbon emissions from gasoline use of approximately 8 L for Q. myrsinaefolia, 5 L for C. japonica, and 2 L for L. indica. The study pioneers in quantifying biomass and carbon reduction for the landscape tree species in the southern region despite difficulties in direct cutting and root digging of the planted trees.

본 연구는 남부지방에 흔히 식재하는 3개 조경수종을 대상으로 직접수확법을 통해 개방 생장하는 개체별 탄소저장 및 흡수를 계량화하고, 수종별 생장에 따른 탄소저감을 용이하게 산정하는 계량모델을 개발하였다. 연구 수종은 탄소저감 정보가 부재하는 동백나무, 배롱나무, 가시나무 등이었다. 유목에서 성목에 이르는 일정 간격의 줄기직경 규격을 고려하여 수종별로 10개체씩, 총 30개체의 수목을 구입하였다. 그리고 근굴취를 포함하는 직접 벌목을 통해 해당 개체의 부위별 및 전체 생체량을 실측하고, 탄소저장량을 산정하였다. 수종별 흉고직경 내지 근원직경의 줄기 원판을 채취하여 직경생장률을 분석하고, 연간 탄소흡수량을 산출하였다. 줄기직경을 독립변수로 생장에 따른 수종별 단목의 탄소저장과 연간 탄소흡수를 산정하는 활용 용이한 계량모델을 도출하였다. 이들 계량모델의 $r^2$은 0.94~0.98로서 적합도가 높았다. 흉고직경 10cm인 가시나무 단목의 탄소저장량과 연간 탄소흡수량은 각각 24.0kg/주 및 4.5kg/주/년이었다. 근원직경 10cm인 동백나무와 배롱나무의 경우는 각각 11.2kg/주 및 2.6kg/주/년, 8.1kg/주 및 1.2kg/주/년이었다. 이 탄소저장량은 가시나무 약 42L, 동백나무 20L, 배롱나무 14L의 휘발유 소비에 따른 탄소 배출량에 상당하였다. 또한, 상기한 직경의 가시나무, 동백나무 및 배롱나무 한 그루는 매년 각각 8L, 5L, 2L의 휘발유 소비에 따른 탄소 배출량을 상쇄하는 역할을 담당하였다. 본 연구는 식재 수목의 직접 벌목과 근굴취의 난이성을 극복하고, 남부지방 대상 조경수종의 생체량 및 탄소저감을 계량화하는 새로운 초석을 마련하였다.
