Abstract

To examine the effects of nitrogen and phosphorus fertilization on soil nitrogen (N) mineralization, we monitored rates of soil nitrogen mineralization and nitrification in 41-year-old pitch pine (Pinus rigida Mill.) and Japanese larch (Larix kaempferi Gordon) stands growing on similar soil condition in central Korea. For this study, we used the buried-bag incubation method. Fertilizers were applied at three levels [control (C), 200 N kg/ha+25 P kg/ha (LNP), and 400 N kg/ha+50 P kg/ha(HNP)] on 5 June, 1996. Mineral soils (0~20 cm) were incubated 6 times with 45-day-interval from 5 June 1996 to 4 June 1997. Initial soil moisture contents were significantly different among sampling dates and between tree species. Initial soil moisture contents were 32% for C, 28% for LNP, and 26% for HNP at the P. rigida stand, and 31% for C, 31% for LNP, and 33% for HNP at the L. kaempferi stand, respectively. Mean daily N mineralization rates were significantly different among sampling dates and treatments. Annual net N mineralization and nitrification were also significantly different between the two tree species. The annual net N mineralization was 10.6 kg/ha/year for C, 23.3 kg/ha/year for LNP and 6.6 kg/ha/year for HNP at the P. rigida stand, and 2.0 kg/ha/year for C, 12.1 kg/ha/year for LNP and 16.7 kg/ha/year for HNP at the L. kaempferi stand. The annual nitrification was 2.8 kg/ha/year for C, 7.6 kg/ha/year for LNP and 4.3 kg/ha/year for HNP at the P. rigida stand, and 4.3 kg/ha/year for C, 14.8 kg/ha/year for LNP and 6.6 kg/ha/year for HNP at the L. kaempferi stand. The ratios of annual net nitrification to annual net N mineralization were 26% for C, 33% for LNP, 65% for HNP at the P. rigida stand, and 100% for C, 100% for LNP, 40% for HNP at the L. kaempferi stand, respectively. This study indicates that N mineralization in forest may be different by the predominant tree species and fertilization even under similar environments. It is likely that the quality of organic matter might control nitrogen mineralization and nitrification in soils.

경기도 양평지역의 유사한 토양 위에 조성되어 있는 41년생 리기다소나무와 낙엽송 조림지를 대상으로 질소 및 인 시비가 표토층(0~20cm)의 질소무기화에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. 본 연구에서는 비닐주머니 매설법을 이용하여 질소무기화율을 측정하였으며, 시비수준은 대조구 (control), 저수준 시비구 [200 N kg/ha+25 P kg/ha(LNP)], 고수준 시비구 [400 N kg/ha+50 P kg/ha(HNP)] 등 세 처리 수준으로 하였다. 조사기간은 1996년 6윌 5일부터 1997년 6월 4일까지 1년간이었으며, 45일 간격으로 6회 배양을 실시하였다. 본 연구로부터 얻어진 결과들을 종합하면 다음과 같다. 배양초기 토양함수율은 리기다소나무 임분의 경우, 대조구가 32%, LNP 처리구가 28%, 그리고 HNP 처리구가 26%였으며, 낙엽송 임분의 경우 대조구가 31% LNP 처리구가 31% 그리고 HNP 처리구가 33%이었다. 조사기간동안의 평균 질소 무기화율은 두 수종 모두 배양시기간과 처리간에 유의적인 차이가 있는 것으로 나타났으며, 대조구에 비해 시비처리구에서 무기화율이 높았다. 토양시료 배양기간 동안의 연간 질소 무기화량과 질산화량은 수종간 그리고 처리간에 통계적으로 유의적인 차이가 있었다. 연간 질소 무기화량의 경우, 리기다소나무 임분은 대조구가 10.6 kg/ha/year, LNP 처리구가 23.3 kg/ha/year, 그리고 HNP 처리구가 6.6 kg/ha/year였으며, 낙엽송 임분은 대조구가 2.0 kg/ha/year, LNP 처리구가 12.1 kg/ha/year, 그리고 HNP 처리구가 16.7 kg/ha/year 이었다. 연간 질산화량의 경우, 리기다소나무 임분은 대조구가 2.8 kg/ha/year, LNP 처리구가 7.6 kg/ha/year, 그러고 HNP 처리구가 4.3 kg/ha/year 였으며, 낙엽송 임분은 대조구가 4.3 kg/ha/year, LNP 처리구가 14.8 kg/ha/year, 그리고 HNP 처리구가 6.6 kg/ha/year 이었다. 조사기간 동안의 질소무기화량 가운데 질산화량이 차지하는 비율은 리기다소나무의 경우, 대조구가 26%, LNP 처리구가 33%, HNP 처리구가 65%였으며, 낙엽송은 대조구와 LNP 처리구가 >100%, 그리고 HNP 처리구에서 40%를 나타내어 낙엽송 임분에서 질산화가 더 많이 이루어진 것으로 나타났다. 이와 같은 연구결과는 산림생태계 내 유사한 환경하에서의 질소무기화 정도는 우점종이나 시비 등과 같은 산림시업에 의해서도 달라질 수 있다는 것을 암시하는 것이다.
