Abstract

In this study, carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) inputs by the litterfall of Japanese cypress (Chamaecyparis obtusa Endlicher) planted in pine wilt disease-disturbed forests were determined. The study sites were located in Sacheon-si, Gyeongsangnam-do. Eight plots under two regeneration sites (DR: four plots of C. obtusa planted under slightly disturbed Pinus thunbergii stands; CR: four plots of C. obtusa planted following the clear-cutting of severely disturbed pine stands) were established to collect litterfall from December 2018 to December 2019. The growth of diameter at breast height (DBH) was significantly higher in the CR treatment (12.10 cm) than that in the DR treatment (9.42 cm). C and N concentrations and the C/N ratio in C. obtusa leaf litter did not differ significantly between the two regeneration treatments, but the C/N ratio was significantly lower in the leaf litter collected in October (93) relative to that collected in December (143). The C concentration of litterfall components was significantly higher in C. obtusa leaf litter and in P. thunbergii needle litter than in broadleaved and miscellaneous litter, whereas the N concentration in broadleaved and miscellaneous litter was significantly higher than that in the leaf litter of C. obtusa and in branch litter. Thus, the C/N ratio was significantly higher in C. obtusa leaf litter and branch litter compared with that in miscellaneous and broadleaved litter. Respective C and N inputs by leaf litter were 773 kg C ha-1 yr-1 and 6.95 kg N ha-1 yr-1 for the CR treatments, and 78 kg C ha-1 yr-1 and 0.70 kg N ha-1 yr-1 for the DR treatment. Total C and N inputs were higher for the DR treatment (3,765 kg C ha-1 yr-1 and 47.6 kg N ha-1 yr-1, respectively) than for the CR treatment (1,290 kg C ha-1 yr-1 and 17.2 kg N ha-1 yr-1, respectively). These results indicate that, for C. obtusa, the DBH growth in the CR treatment was superior to that in the DR treatment, but the C and N inputs by litterfall were considerably reduced in CR treatments.

소나무재선충병 피해목을 모두베기하거나 미피해 곰솔을 잔존하고 편백을 수하식재 한 15년생 편백 조림지를 대상으로 1년 동안(2018년 12월~2019년 12월) 낙엽·낙지에 의한 탄소 및 질소 유입량을 조사하였다. 편백의 평균 흉고직경은 모두베기구가 12.10 cm로 수하식재구의 9.42 cm에 비해 유의적으로 크게 나타났다. 편백 낙엽의 유기탄소 및 질소 농도는 모두베기구나 수하식재구 사이에 유의적인 차이(P > 0.05)가 없었으나, 낙엽의 C/N비는 8월~10월에 유입된 낙엽이 93으로 12월~3월 사이에 유입된 낙엽의 143보다 유의적으로 낮았다. 낙엽·낙지 구성 성분의 탄소 농도는 곰솔 가지, 편백 낙엽, 곰솔 낙엽 등의 탄소 농도가 활엽수나 기타 물질에 비해 유의적으로 높았으며, 질소 농도는 활엽수 잎, 편백 녹엽(green leaf), 기타 물질 등이 편백 낙엽이나 곰솔 가지 등에 비해 높은 농도를 보였다. C/N비는 곰솔 낙엽과 편백 낙엽이 기타 물질, 편백 녹엽, 활엽수 낙엽 등에 비해 유의적으로 높았다. 편백 낙엽에 의한 유기탄소 및 질소 유입량은 모두베기구가 773 kg C ha-1 yr-1와 6.95 kg N ha-1 yr-1로 수하식재구 78 kg C ha-1 yr-1와 0.70 kg N ha-1 yr-1에 비해 유의적으로 많은 양이 유입되었다. 그러나 총 유기탄소 및 질소 유입량은 수하식재구 3,765 kg C ha-1 yr-1와 47.6 kg N ha-1 yr-1, 모두 베기구 1,290 kg C ha-1 yr-1와 17.2 kg N ha-1 yr-1로 수하식재구가 상층 곰솔의 낙엽·낙지 유입으로 인하여 3배 정도 많았다. 본 연구결과에 따르면 모두베기구에 조성된 편백의 흉고직경 생장은 수하식재구에 비해 양호하였으나, 낙엽·낙지에 의한 탄소 및 질소 유입량은 상당히 감소하는 것으로 나타났다.
