Changes in Chemical Properties of Paddy Field Soils as Influenced by Regional Topography in Jeonbuk Province

We investigated the changes in chemical properties of paddy field soils at 300 different sampling sites containing 4 topography in Jeonbuk province, Korea. The soil samples were collected 43.0% from local valley and fans, 39.3% from fluvio-marine deposits, 15.0% from alluvial plains, and 2.7% from diluvium sites. The optimal values of soil properties in the total soil samples were as follows: 65.3% of total samples in soil pH value, 48.3% of total samples in cation exchange capacity (CEC) value, and 22.3% of total samples in available phosphorus content, whereas the deficient values of soil properties were 63.3% of total samples in soil organic matter (SOM) content, 75.7% of total samples in available silicate content, and 61.3%, 51.0%, and 59.3% of total samples in exchangeable $K^+$, $Ca^{2+}$, and $Mg^{2+}$ concentrations, respectively. There were different soil types in the paddy fields: that is, 34.4% immature paddy and 33.6% sandy paddy in the local valley and fans, 57.8% sandy paddy in the alluvial plains, 47.4% normal paddy in the fluvio-marine deposits, and 75.7% immature paddy in the diluvium. Soil textures were also different: 53.5% loam in the local valley and fans, 37.8% sandy loam in the alluvial plains, and 55.1% silty loam in the fluvio-marine deposits. Soil pH and SOM contents were not different among the different topographical sampling sites. However, the mean value of available phosphorus content, 224 mg $kg^{-1}$, was exceeded optimal values in the diluvium. The contents of exchangeable cations were optimal in all the sites, except exchangeable $Ca^{2+}$ contents in the local valley and fans. The contents of available silicate ranged between 112 and 127 mg $kg^{-1}$ in all the sites, which were lower than optimal value. In addition, soil pH values were proportionally correlated to the order of available silicate, exchangeable $Ca^{2+}$, $Mg^{2+}$, $Na^+$, CEC, and exchangeable $K^+$. The contents of SOM were proportionally correlated to the order of CEC, available $P_2O_5$, exchangeable $Ca^{2+}$, and available silicate. The contents of heavy metals, Cd, Cr, Cu, Ni, Pb, and Zn, were only 10% of the threshold levels of the metals, and As content was about 20 to 30% of the threshold level.

지형특성에 따른 전북지역 논토양 화학성 변화

지형 특성에 따른 논토양 화학성변화를 조사하기 위해 전북지역 논 300개 지점에서 토양 물리화학성 및 중금속함량을 조사하였다. 논토양 분포 지형은 곡간 및 선상지 43.0%, 하해혼성평탄지 39.3%, 하성평탄지 15.0%, 홍적대지 2.7% 순이었다. 토양성분별 적정비율은 pH 65.3%, CEC 48.3%, 유효인산 22.3%이었고, 부족비율은 유기물 63.3%, 치환성 $K^+$ 61.3%, $Ca^{2+}$ 51.0%, $Mg^{2+}$ 59.3%, 유효규산 75.7%이었다. 곡간 및 선상지의 논토양 유형은 미숙답과 사질답이 각각 34.4과 33.6%이었고, 하성평탄지는 사질답 57.8%, 하해혼성평탄지는 보통답 47.4%, 홍적대지는 미숙답이 75.7%이었다. 곡간 및 선상지형의 토성은 양토가 53.5%를 차지하고, 하성평 탄지는 사양토 37.8%, 하해혼성평탄지에서는 미사질양토가 55.1%를 차지하고 있었다. 지형에 따라 pH와 유기물함량은 차이가 없었고, 유효인산은 홍적대지에서 224 mg $kg^{-1}$로 적정범위를 초과하였고, 치환성양이온은 곡간 및 선상지에서 $Ca^{2+}$을 제외하고 모두 적정범위에 분포하였다. 유효규산은 112~127 mg $kg^{-1}$ 수준으로 모든 지형에서 적정수준에 미치 지 못하였다. 토양 pH는 유효규산, 치환성 $Ca^{2+}$, $Mg^{2+}$, $Na^+$, CEC, 치환성 $K^+$ 순으로 정의 상관관계, 토양유기물 함량은 CEC, 유효인산, 치환성 $Ca^{2+}$, 유효규산과 정의 상관관계를 보 였다. 논토양의 Cd, Cr, Cu, Ni, Pb, Zn은 토양오염우려기준의 약 10%, As는 약 20~30%수준으로 분포하고 있어 전북지역 논토양은 안전한 것으로 조사되었다.
