Abstract

With the aim of restoring slow-moving landslide areas, this study collected fundamental data from tree-ring analysis of curved trees in these areas. We collected both upper and lower stem disks to measure the azimuth angles of six trees with growth curvature caused by tension cracks. Additionally, we analyzed various factors in the slow moving landslide area. The geological strata and main constitutive rocks in the study area were anorthosite-formed in the Precambrian period; moreover, there were no intrusive rocks, other geological strata, geological folds, or faults. The talus with weathered rocks was distributed in the upper zone of the slow-moving landslide area. According to annual-ring analysis of curved trees and terrain analysis by satellite imagery, slow-moving landslide occurred from the top to the bottom end of the slope between 1999 and 2011. There was a significant relationship (P < 0.01) between the azimuth angle of cracks caused by the slow-moving landslide and the angle of the curved trees. These results suggest that the occurrence of slow-moving landslides could be confirmed through analysis of annual-rings of curved trees, underground water levels, and terrain (by satellite imagery).

이 연구는 땅밀림지에서 휘어져 자란 수목의 나이테를 분석함으로써 땅밀림이 지속적으로 진행되는가를 파악함으로써 땅밀림지 복구를 위한 기초자료를 제공하기 위하여 수행하였다. 땅밀림지의 각종 인자를 분석하고, 인장균열을 따라 휘어져 자라는 수목을 6개체 선정하여 휘어진 지점의 상부와 하부 단판을 채취하여 경사각을 측정하였다. 본 조사지의 지층 및 주 구성암석은 선캠브리아기에 형성된 회장암 지역으로 타 지층 및 관입암과 단층 및 습곡은 없으며, 땅밀림지 상단부에는 너널이 분포하고, 풍화암으로 이루어져 있다. 땅밀림지에서 휘어진 수목의 나이테 분석과 인공위성사진을 이용한 지형을 분석한 결과, 사면 최하단부에서부터 상단부까지 발생한 땅밀림 발생시기는 1999년부터 2011년까지로 분석되었다. 땅밀림으로 발생된 인장균열이 가리키는 방위각과 수목의 휘어진 각을 T-test한 결과 1% 수준에서 유의하였다. 따라서 땅밀림 지역의 인공위성사진을 통한 지형분석과 함께 휘어진 수목의 나이테분석, 지하수위 분석을 병행한다면 땅밀림 발생시기를 보다 면밀히 확인할 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.
