To clarify the effects of forest fire on the carbon budget of a forest ecosystem, this study compared the seasonal variation of soil respiration, net primary production and net ecosystem production (NEP) over the year in unburned and burned Pinus densiflora forest areas. The annual net carbon storage (i.e., NPP) was $5.75t\;C\;ha^{-1}$ in the unburned site and $2.14t\;C\;ha^{-1}$ in the burned site in 2012. The temperature sensitivity of soil respiration (i.e., $Q_{10}$ value) was higher in the unburned site than in the burned site. The annual soil respiration rate was estimated by the exponential regression equation with the soil temperatures continuously measured at the soil depth of 10 cm. The estimated annual soil respiration and heterotrophic respiration (HR) rates were 8.66 and $4.50t\;C\;ha^{-1}yr^{-1}$ in the unburned site and 4.08 and $2.12t\;C\;ha^{-1}yr^{-1}$ in the burned site, respectively. The estimated annual NEP in the unburned and burned forest areas was found to be 1.25 and $0.02t\;C\;ha^{-1}yr^{-1}$, respectively. Our results indicate that the differences of carbon budget and cycling between both study sites are considerably correlated with the losses of living plant biomass, insufficient nutrients and low organic materials in the forest soil due to severe damages caused by the forest fire. The burned Pinus densiflora forest area requires at least 50 years to attain the natural conditions of the forest ecosystem prior to the forest fire.

This experiment was carried out to find out the mitigation of greenhouse gases (GHGs) emission and changes of soil carbon contents in the cropland. In order to minimize the soil disturbance, this study was conducted without crop cultivation at the pots treated with different biomass. Different biomass was buried in the soil for 12 months. Decomposition rates of expander rice hull, pig manure compost and carbonized rice hull were 18%, 11~11.5% and 0.5~1.2%, respectively. It was appeared that carbonized rice hull was slightly decomposed. No difference was shown between chemical fertilizer treatment plot and non-application plot. It was appeared that soil carbon content in the non chemical fertilizer application plot was high when compared to its chemical fertilizer. Its content at soil depth of 20 cm more decreased than the upper layer of soil. Accumulative emission of $CO_2$ with different treatments of biomass was highest of 829.0~876.6 g $CO_2m^{-2}$ in the application plot of PMC (Pig Manure Compost) regardless of chemical fertilizer treatment during 16 months of experiment. However, the emission for expander rice hull treatment plot was lowest of 672.3~808.1 g $CO_2m^{-2}$. For application plot of the carbonized rice hull, it was shown that non chemical fertilizer plot, 304.1 mg $N_2Om^{-2}$, was higher than the chemical fertilizer treatment, 271.6 mg $N_2Om^{-2}$. Greenhouse gas emissions in the PMC treatment were highest of 0.94 ton $CO_2eqha^{-1}yr^{-1}$. However, it was estimated to be the lowest in the expander rice hull treatment.

Enlargement of street tree planting area is the proper and effective solution to reduce carbon dioxide. This solution bases on the ability of carbon storage and uptake by tree metabolism. However, the circumstance of road side has fatal disadvantages in tree metabolism such as growth and maturity because cutting and filling of roadsides cause unnatural soil composition. In this point, early rootage of street tree is the main factor of reducing carbon dioxide. This study aimed to find a appropriate transplantation planting method for sound and rapid rootage of street tree. For the study, Korean Mountain Ash(Sorbus alnifolia) were used for experimental groups. The groups were categorized by three groups such as trees produced on container with mulching treatment, trees produced in outdoor with mulching treatment, trees produced on container with weeding treatment. Each group consisted 10 trees with same size and transplanted in experimental site. Five months after transplanting, each group was estimated the biomass and carbon storage through a direct harvesting method. According to results of the study, the carbon storage of trees produced on container with mulching treatment is 42% more than trees produced in outdoor with mulching treatment. And the carbon storage of trees produced on container with mulching treatment is 19.5% more than trees produced on container with weeding treatment. These results may imply that transplantation of container produced tree with mulching treatment is the most rapid rootage among other groups. The weeding treatment is more effective than mulching treatment for rapid rootage of street trees.

The loss and degradation in tropical forest region are some of the current global concern. Hence, these issues elevated the role of rehabilitated forests in providing ecological products and services. The information on the carbon stock is important in relation to global carbon and biomass use, but lacking from the tropical region. This paper reports the assessment of tree and soil carbon stock in a chronosequence rehabilitated tropical forest stands in Malaysia. The study site was at the UPM-Mitsubishi Forest Rehabilitation Project, UPMKB. $20{\times}20m$ plot was established each and assessed in 2009 at 1-, 10- and 19-year-old sites while an adjacent ${\pm}23-year-old$ natural regenerating secondary forest plot was established for comparison. The overall total carbon stock was in the order of 19-year-old>${\pm}23-year-old$>10-year-old>1-year-old. When forest carbon stock is low, the soil component plays an important role in the carbon storage. The forest carbon recovery is crucial to increase soil carbon stock. The variations in the carbon stock showed the different stages of the forest recovery. Species survived after 19-years of planting are potential species for carbon sequestration activities in rehabilitated forest. Human intervention in rehabilitating degraded forest areas through tree planting initiatives is crucial towards recovering the forest ecological role especially in forest carbon stock capacity.

Problems in regard of ecological stability of urban ecosystem ensue from climate change and urbanization. Particularly, urban ecological conditions are deteriorating both quantitatively and qualitatively to a great extent. The present study aims to assess the current condition of selected sites (i. e. urban green zones and parks) in terms of preset assessment components; to find out problems and relevant solutions to improve the quality and quantity of parks and green zones; and ultimately to suggest some measures applicable to coping with climate change as well as to securing the ecological attributes of urban green zones and parks. According to the findings of this study, from quantitative perspectives, ecological attributes and responsiveness to climate change are high on account of the large natural-soil area(80%). By contrast, from qualitative perspectives including the planting structure (1 layer: 47%), the percentage of bush area(17%), the connectivity with surrounding green zones (independent types: 44%), the wind paths considered (5.6%), the tree species with high carbon absorption rates (20%), water cycles (17%), energy (8%) and carbon storage capacities(61%), ecological attributes and responsiveness to climate change were found very low. These findings suggest that the ecological values of urban parks and green zones should be improved in the future by conserving their original forms, securing natural-soil grounds and employing multi-layered planting structures and water bodies, and that responsiveness to climate change should be enhanced by planting tree species with high carbon storage capacities and obtaining detention ponds. In sum, robust efforts should be exerted in the initial planning stages, and sustained, to apply the methodology of green-zone development along with securing ecological attributes and responsiveness to climate change.

Background: This study was conducted from March 2011 to February 2013 in order to evaluate the ecosystem value by examining the organic carbon distribution and cycling in the Quercus glauca forest, evergreen oak community at Seonheul-Gotjawal, Jeju Island. Results: The amount of organic carbon distribution was $124.5ton\;C\;ha^{-1}$ in 2011 and $132.63ton\;C\;ha^{-1}$ in 2012 for aboveground biomass. And it was $31.13ton\;C\;ha^{-1}$ in 2011 and $33.16ton\;C\;ha^{-1}$ in 2012 for belowground biomass. In total, the amount of organic carbon distribution in plants was 155.63 and $165.79ton\;C\;ha^{-1}$ in 2011 and 2012, respectively. In 2011 and 2012 respectively, the amount of organic carbon distribution was 3.61 and $6.39ton\;C\;ha^{-1}$ in the forest floor and it was 78.89 and $100.71ton\;C\;ha^{-1}$ in the soil. As shown, most carbon was distributed in plants. Overall, the amount of organic carbon distribution of the Q. glauca forest was $238.13ton\;C\;ha^{-1}$ in 2011 and $272.89ton\;C\;ha^{-1}$ in 2012. In 2011, the amount of organic carbon fixed in plants through photosynthesis (NPP) was $14.22ton\;C\;ha^{-1}\;year^{-1}$ and the amount of carbon emission of soil respiration was $16.77ton\;C\;ha^{-1}\;year^{-1}$. The net ecosystem production (NEP) absorbed by the Q. glauca forest from the atmosphere was $5ton\;C\;ha^{-1}\;year^{-1}$. Conclusions: The carbon storage value based on such organic carbon distribution was estimated about $23.81mil\;won\;ha^{-1}$ in 2011 and $27.29mil\;won\;ha^{-1}$ in 2012, showing an annual increment of carbon storage value by $3.48mil\;won\;ha^{-1}$. The carbon absorption value based on such NEP was estimated about $500,000won\;ha^{-1}\;year^{-1}$.

본 연구는 논과 목초지에서 관리방법에 따른 토양탄소의 변화에 대해 알아보았다. 논에서는 총탄소 농도의 변화에 비하여 입자상 탄소농도의 변화가 IRG 처리에 따라 더 민감하게 반응하였으며, 이에 입자상 탄소농도는 관리방법 변화에 따른 조기지시자로 활용될 수 있음을 시사하였다. 반면, 초지에서는 입자상 탄소농도의 변화가 총탄소 농도 변화에 비해 오히려 더 민감하지 않게 반응하였는데, 이는 본 연구방법에 따라 분류한 입자상 탄소가 초지와 같은 생태계에서는 의미 있는 탄소부분이 아닐 수 있음을 시사한다. 토양탄소저장을 살펴보았을 때 논의 경우는 겨울동안 IRG 목초작물을 재배하는 관리를 3년 이상 지속한 서천 및 장흥에서 유의한 증가가 있었다. 토양탄소의 유의한 증가는 농도뿐만 아니라 용적밀도를 고려하여 동일 부피 토양을 비교한 경우 및 동일 질량 토양을 비교한 경우 모두 유의하게 관찰되었는데, 이는 IRG 재배에 따른 토양탄소 저장의 증가가 단순히 표토에 축적된 식물체 유기물에 의한 일시적 농도의 증가가 아닌 토심 0-15 cm 깊이의 토양탄소의 증가였음을 시사한다. 목초지에서는 목초지 조성이후 3년, 5년, 7년, 10년이 지남에 따라 표토 (0-5 cm)에서의 탄소농도 증가가 현저하였다. 반면 5-15 cm 깊이의 토양에서는 이러한 증가경향이 뚜렷하지 않거나 오히려 감소하기도 하였다. 이 결과 토양내 저장되어 있는 탄소량을 용적밀도를 고려하고 동일 질량을 비교한 경우에 시간에 따른 뚜렷한 증가경향이 흐릿해짐을 알 수 있었다. 이는 초지 조성시기가 오래됨에 따라 토양의 용적밀도가 높아짐으로 인해 용적밀도 증가에 따른 토양질량의 증가분을 보정하였을 때 나타나는 결과로써, 초지조성연도가 오래될수록 저장된 탄소의 양이 선형적으로 증가할 것이라는 기존의 통념을 수정할 필요가 있음을 시사한다. IPCC (2006)에서 제안한 지침에 따르면, 토양탄소는 20년 동안 직선적인 증가를 한다는 가정을 하였는데, 본 연구의 결과에서 특정 관리방법 착수시점에서 초기 5-7년 동안토양탄소는 빠르게 증가하고, 증가속도는 그 이후에 느려지고 있음을 보여준다. 이는 지속적 토양탄소 저장 증가를 위해서는 적절한 토양관리 및 유기물 관리를 해야 한다는 점을 의미하기도 한다. 한편, 토양 내 FDA 활성도에 비추어본 미생물 활성도는 논의 경우는 IRG 처리구에서 대조구에 비해 유의하게 낮게 나타났으며 초지의 경우는 조성연도별 유의한 차이가 없었다. 이는 FDA 활성도가 토양의 관리방법별 차이에 따른 토양 질의 변화를 표현하기에는 민감하거나 변별력이 높은 지시자는 아님을 의미하며, 미생물 생체량이나 토양호흡량 등과 함께 측정하여 보조적인 자료로 활용하는 것이 좋다고 판단된다.

이산화탄소 등 온실가스의 농도 증가로 인한 지구온난화 에 따른 기후의 변화 및 환경적 영향이 증가하고 있으며 토양내 유기탄소의 축적을 통해 대기 중 이산화탄소등 온실 가스의 감축을 효과적으로 제어할 수 있는 방법들이 연구되어 보고되고 있으나, 우리나라의 논의 경우에는 토양유기탄소의 토양 축적에 관한 연구가 매우 적게 보고되고 있다. 따라서 우리나라 주요 경지 이용형태인 논에 대해서도 토양중 탄소를 축적할 수 있는 토양관리 방법의 연구가 매우 필요하게 되었다. 본 연구는 농촌진흥청 농업과학기술원 동일비료 및 개량제 처리 장기시험 포장에서 퇴비, NPK 비료, 석회, 및 규산등의 처리구별 토양유기탄소의 동태를 분석하였다. 연구결과 인산, 칼리 및 석회의 시용은 장기간 시용한 이후에 처리한 구에서 미처리구에서 보다 토양유기탄소의 함량이 높게 나타났다. 한편 퇴비 시용구의 경우 퇴비 미시용구에서 보다 퇴비 시용구에서 토양유기탄소의 함량이 지속적으로 증가하는 것으로 나타났으며 시간이 지날수록 유기탄소축적비율도 증가하는 것으로 나타났다. 결론적으로 단일 논 작부체계하에서 장기간 지속적인 퇴비의 시용 결과 토양 중 유기탄소의 효과적인 축적이 이루어 졌다. 따라서 우리나라 논에서 중 유기탄소의 축적을 위하여 퇴비의 지속적인 시용을 제안하고자 한다.
