산림 사면에서의 토양층 수문반응은 물순환을 이해하는데 중요하다. 본 연구에서는 토양수분자료를 이용하여 토양수분의 계절적, 공간적 변화를 분석하였다. 연구대상지역은 경기도 파주시 적성면 설마리의 설마천 유역 내에 위치한 범륜사사면과 충청북도 음성군의 청미천 유역내의 수레의산사면이다. 정밀측량을 통해 획득한 수치고도모형(Digital Elevation Model, DEM)을 이용하여 관측지점들을 각각 선정하였다. 대상사면에 토양층별 토양수분의 분포변화를 분석하기 위해 각 지점별 10, 30, 60cm에서 토양수분량 측정시스템(Time Domain Reflectometry, TDR)방식의 토양수분측정장비(miniTRASE)를 설치하여 2시간 간격으로 2014년 3월부터 12월까지 토양수분을 측정하였다. 각 지점별 사면에서 획득된 토양수분 시계열자료는 토양수분의 시공간적 분포특성을 파악하기 위해 지점별 토양수분량의 통계분석(평균, 표준편차, 변동계수)를 수행하였다. 설마천유역의 범륜사사면에서는 2014년도에 특히 강우량이 적어 토양수분의 평균과 표준편차의 월별 변화에서는 기저토양수분 값을 주로 유지하고 강우에 대한 변동성이 크지 않은 것으로 나타났고, 청미천유역의 수레의산 사면에서는 시간적 토양수분변화는 계절적 강우분포 패턴에 따라 반응이 나타났다. 청미천유역의 토양수분자료를 이용하여 토양수분의 계절적, 공간적 변화를 분석한 결과 지표근처 토양층(10, 30cm)와 저층(60cm)에서의 공간적 변화특성이 다르게 나타났다. 이는 저층(60cm)에서의 지표하 흐름, 기반암 존재의 영향차이에 의한 것으로 판단되고, 사면의 위치에 따라 토양수분의 안정화 정도가 다른 것을 확인할 수 있다.

토양수분은 물순환계통을 이해하기 위한 필수적인 수문학적 변수이나 설치비용과 인력부족으로 실측자료가 매우 부족한 실정이다. 많은 수문모형의 개발로 토양수분 또한 결과물로써 많이 이용되지만, 그 결과의 신뢰성을 판단하기가 쉽지 않다. 본 연구에서는 활용성이 높다고 판단되는 수문모형인 SWAT 모형을 통해 산림지역의 토양수분을 모의하고 MODIS NDVI와의 상관성을 분석하여, 모의된 토양수분의 신뢰성 판단을 위한 MODIS NDVI의 활용성을 파악하고자 하였다. 대상유역은 산림이 전체유역의 약 82%를 차지하고 있는 충주댐 유역으로 하였으며 NDVI 자료는 시간해상도 16일, 공간해상도 250m 인 MODIS 영상의 Product를 이용하였다. 보다 신뢰성 있는 자료를 얻기 위해 유역의 특성이 다른 두 지점을 선정하여 다지점 검보정을 수행하였으며, 2003년부터 2006년까지의 유출 자료를 이용하여 모형을 보정하고, 2000, 2001 그리고 2002년에 대하여 검증하였다. 검보정 결과 모형 효율성 계수는 상류와 하류에 대하여 각각 0.91, 0.87, 결정계수는 각각 0.90, 0.80으로 분석되었다. 본 연구에서는 NDVI 특성에 따라 봄 기간과 가을기간으로 나누어 분석을 수행하였으며, NDVI와 토양수분의 상관관계는 NDVI가 증가하는 봄 기간에 토양수분은 감소하며 역 관계로 나타났고 NDVI가 감소하는 가을 기간에 토양수분은 증가하는 순 관계를 보였다.

In order to understand the hydrological processes on the mountainous forest, the configuration of soil evaporation (E) out of evapotranspiration (ET) is a challenging and important topic. In this study, we attempted to understand the soil evaporation process for a humid forest hillslope via measuring and analyzing soil moistures with a sampling interval in 2 hours at three locations for 10 days between May 22th and 31th 2009. Two methods were used to estimate soil evaporation in every 2hr; one is a method using soil moisture measurement ($E_{SM}$), the others methods are based on Penman equation (Penman (1948), Staple (1974), Konukcu (2007), Equilibrium Penman ($E_{equili}$)). As a critical parameter in determining $E_{SM}$, the dry surface layer (DSL), was estimated using energy balance equation. The accumulated soil evaporation ($E_{SM}$) of A, B, C points were estimated as 2.09, 1.08 and 2.88 mm, respectively. The estimated evaporation of Penman (1948), Staple (1974), Konukcu (2007), $E_{equili}$ were 4.91, 8.80, 8.63 and 3.28 mm. The proposed method with soil moisture measurement showed lower soil evaporations than the other conventional methods. The increasing soil temperature and interaction between soil and atmosphere due to existence of litter and DSL are considered as dominant factors for soil evaporation. The $E_{SM}$ has the apparent lag time between 2 and 4 hr compared with $E_{equili}$ and net radiation. The DSL and surface resistance ($r_s$) were increased as soil moisture was decreased for in this study. The estimated DSL through the temporal distribution analysis of soil moisture and tension measurements was also similar to that of the energy balance relationship.

Researches on soil microbial community are increasing to assess ecosystem responses to anthropogenic disturbances and to provide an indicator of ecosystem recovery. Microbial communities are able to respond more rapidly to environmental changes than plants and therefore they may provide an early indication of the ecosystem recovery trajectory. This study was conducted using 16S rRNA gene pyrosequencing of soil samples to compare soil bacterial community composition between artificially covered soils of the Baedudaegan ridgeline and their adjacent forest soils in two restoration project sites, Ihwaryeong and Yuksimnyeong, which were completed in 2012 and 2013, respectively. Richness of the Phylum level was 29.3 in Ihwaryeong and 32.3 in Yuksimnyeong. Significant difference in the richness between artificial restored soils and adjacent forest soils(p<0.01) was observed, however no significant difference was observed for site location and soil depth. Acidobacteria(37.3%) and Proteobacteria(31.1%) were more abundant than any other phylum in collected soil samples. Also, we found the significant difference in the relative abundance of the two abundant phyla between artificially restored soils and their adjacent forest soils (Proteobacteria, 38.1% in restored soils vs 24.2% in adjacent forest soils, p<0.01; Acidobacteria, 55.4% in restored soils vs 19.2% in adjacent forest soils, p<0.001). The results support the previous researches indicating that soil bacterial community composition is affected by nutritional status of soils and that Acidobacteria is also strongly influenced by pH, thus favoring soils with lower pH. This study could be utilized to monitor and evaluate restoration success of forest soil environment quantitatively.

Forest soils were analyzed on their biological and physicochemical properties for the ecological restoration of burnt forest soil using organic wastes and proper microorganisms. Three kinds of soil samples were collected from undamaged soil(US), naturally restoring soil(NS) and artificially restoring soil(AS). All soil samples were sandy soil and acidic soil, ranged pH 5.34~5.78. Moisture content was higher in the soil of NS region. And the others were similar. Total organic matter and soluble sugar were higher at the surface, generally. Heterotrophic soil microbes were abundant at the surface soil of NS and subsoil of AS. Dehydrogenase, cellulase and phosphatase activities were higher at the NS soil. Especially, Dehydrogenase activity as primary index of soil microbial process showed high correlationship with moisture content(r=0.90, P < 0.05).

The objective of this study was to examine effects of stand age on soil $CO_2$ efflux in plantation Pinus koraiensis, and to elucidate what extent plant (fine) root and soil microbial biomass contribute to the whole soil $CO_2$ efflux. In three age classes (20-yr-old. 40-yr-old, 70-yr-old) of plantation Pinus koraiensis, in-situ soil respiration, plant fine root biomass and soil microbial biomass were measured from April to November in 2004. Regardless of stand age, soil temperature and soil $CO_2$ efflux increased until July then slowly decreased. Soil respiration was higher in 70-yr-old stand than in 20- and 40-yr stands. Fine root biomass and soil microbial biomass was also higher in 70-yr-old stand. Root exclusion decreased soil respiration in 40-yr stand, but not in 70-yr stand. Soil microbial biomass was higher in 70-yr stand, but there was no monthly variation between July and November. The results suggest that soil respiration may increase as plant stand ages and microbial contribution could play more roles in older stands.

This study was conducted to compare the physical and chemical properties of soils in Quercus acutissima, Q. mongolica, Q. serrata, and Q. variabilis stands. A total of 423 plots (Q. acutissima 72 plots, Q. mongolica 150 plots, Q. serrata 97 plots, and Q. variabilis: 104 plots) were examined to determine the soil properties of A and B horizons throughout the country. The physical and chemical properties of soils were significantly different among the four different Quercus spp. stands. The sand content in both horizons was significantly higher in Q. acutissima stands than in the other three oak stands, whereas the clay content was lowest among the four stands. The soils in Q. mongolica and Q. serrata stands were more acidified than those in Q. acutissima and Q. variabilis stands. The concentrations of organic carbon and total nitrogen in both soil depths were significantly higher in Q. mongolica stands than in Q. serrata, Q. variabilis, and Q. acutissima stands. The content of available phosphorus was significantly higher in Q. mongolica and Q. serrata stands than in Q. acutissima and Q. variabilis stands; whereas the contents of exchangeable potassium, calcium, and magnesium were lower in Q. mongolica and Q. serrata stands than in Q. acutissima and Q. variabilis stands. The cation exchange capacity was highest in Q. mongolica stands, followed by that in Q. serrata, Q. variabilis, and Q. acutissima stands. These data indicate the need to design a nutrient management plan to enhance the low soil pH and exchangeable cation in Q. mongolica and Q. serrata stands.

This study was carried out to establish a management plan for urban forest trails with analysis of trail damage types and soil physicochemical properties on 3 urban forest parks in Jinju, Gyeongnam-do. We found that soil hardness was significantly higher in forest trails than forest area at 0 cm and 5 cm at a significance level of 0.05. However, we could not find any significant differences for other soil properties. For the trail damage types, the most common types were as follows: trail expansion (66%), trail erosion (59%), side road (57%), and trail boundary erosion and root exposure (41%). The results showed no difference in most of these types between the trails and forest area, indicating that the forest area might be damaged as well as the trails. Priority should be given to prepare measures that prevent soil compaction from overcrowded hikers.

Studies on the distribution pattern of soil arthropods were carried in H.J. Andrews Expt. Forest. Forty-one species of Coleoptera in 14 families were recognized as the dominant group. Also, 7 species of soil mites in 6 families, Typhlodromus, Gymnodaeus, Phauloppia and Scleroribates were recognized without seasonal fluctuation, which made the difference to the outbreak pattern of the Palearctic region. Another species as 16 species of Collembola in 4, families, 16 species of Thysanoptera in 3 families, 10 species of Hymenoptera in 1 family, and 7 species of Acarina in 6 families were recognized. The result showed the importance of the soil arthropod as the primary decomposer in forest ecosystem and the relationship between species diversity and soil condition.

This study addressed soil disturbances following harvesting as well as soil physical and hydrological properties within three first-order headwater catchments characterized by ephemeral-intermittent streams. Four treatments representing a range of potential Best Management Practices(BMPs) for ephemeral-intermittent streams were used; BMP1, BMP2, clearcut and reference. This study includes 1 year of pre- and post-harvest observations. Results showed that post-harvest disturbances were closely related with harvesting intensity and generally tended to reflect changes in soil physical and hydrological properties following harvest with the except of bulk density and porosity. Forest clearcutting decreased macroporosity and saturated hydraulic conductivity, and increased soil resistence as a result of severe soil disturbances thereby increasing soil erosion. These impacts were reduced by implementing two BMP treatments during harvesting activities. The finding support the use of either BMP treatments for ephemeral-intermittent streams, however, the additional measure of leaving logging debris in BMP2 did not cover enough soil surface to reduce erosion.
