Abstract
In this study, we have selected Larix kaempferi as a study area in Woraksan National Park for understanding the ion index according to the difference of topography in national parks. We measured the weather and ion at two fixed points, ridge and valley, where the Larix kaempferi dominates in the same ecological structure in Woraksan National Park. The weather measurement results showed the average, maximum, and minimum temperatures of $28.22^{\circ}C$, $29.9^{\circ}C$, and $26.4^{\circ}C$, respectively at the ridge. The average, maximum, and minimum temperatures at the valley were $27.08^{\circ}C$, $27.8^{\circ}C$, and $25.5^{\circ}C$, respectively. The average, maximum, and minimum relatively humidities at the ridge were 67.02%, 75.25%, and 61.95%, respectively. he average, maximum, and minimum relatively humidities at the valley were 69.74%, 76.8%, and 63.75%, respectively. The average, maximum, and minimum amounts of positive ions generated in the ridge was $698.40{\pm}59.80ea/cm^3$, $885.88ea/cm^3$, and $597.88ea/cm^3$, respectively. The average, maximum, and minimum amounts of negative ions generated in the ridge were $736.07{\pm}83.89ea/cm^3$, $934.53ea/cm^3$, and $599.32ea/cm^3$, respectively. The ion index is calculated to be 1.06. The average, maximum, and minimum amounts of positive ions generated in the valley were $1,732.49{\pm}354.08ea/cm^3$, $2,652.10ea/cm^3$, and $1,110.92ea/cm^3$, respectively. The average, maximum, and minimum amounts of negative ions generated in the valley were $1,990.47{\pm}433.57ea/cm^3$, $3,126.75ea/cm^3$, and the minimum value was $1,352.17ea/cm^3$. The ion index is calculated to be 1.16. The difference in the amount of negative ions generated in ridge and valley was $1089.26ea/cm^3$, and the difference of the calculated ion index between the ridge portion and the valley portion was 0.10. The results of this study were provided as the reference weather data of national parks for health management.
