본 연구는 볏짚퇴비의 사용량(7.5, 15, 22.5, 30 ton ha^-1)이 토양 화학성 및 유기탄소 축적에 미치는 영향을 알아보고자 하였다. 연구결과 NPKC7.5 처리구에서 SOC와 SOC stock이 각각 15.3 g kg^-1, 57.8 Mg C ha^-1으로 NPKC22.5와 NPKC30 처리구보다 낮았으며, 볏짚퇴비 사용량이 가장 많았던 NPKC30 처리구는 SOC가 22.8 g kg^-1, SOC stock이 71.2 Mg C ha^-1로 NPKC 22.5처리구와 유의한 차이를 보이지 않았으나 처리구 중 높은 경향을 보여 퇴비 사용량이 많을수록 SOC의 축적이 많아진다는 것을 알 수 있었다. 그러나 교환성 칼륨과 칼슘이 퇴비 사용량이 늘어날수록 높아져 NPKC22.5와 NPKC30 처리구는 적정범위를 초과하였다. 과도한 유기물원 투입은 토양유기탄소 축적을 증가시키더라도 작물에 흡수되지 못한 양분이 수계로 유출되어 수질을 오염시키거나 토양에 축적되어 토양 환경에 악영향을 미칠 수 있으므로 지속적으로 볏짚퇴비를 투입하기 위해서는 토양, 수질 등 농업 환경을 고려하여 표준사용량을 사용하는 것이 적절할 것으로 판단된다.

Background: To assess the carbon sequestration capacity and net ecosystem productivity (NEP) of Quercus glauca forests, we analyzed the net primary productivity (NPP), carbon storage, and carbon emission of soil in a Q. glauca forest on Jeju Island (South Korea) from 2016 to 2018. Results: The average carbon stock in the above- and below-ground plant biomass was 223.7 Mg C ha^-1, while the average amount of organic carbon fixed by photosynthesis was 9.8 Mg C ha^-1 yr^-1, and the average NPP was 9.6 Mg C ha^-1 yr^-1. Stems and branches contributed to the majority of the above- and below-ground standing biomass and NPP. The average heterotrophic carbon emission from the soil was 8.7 Mg C ha^-1 yr^-1, while the average NEP was 1.1 Mg C ha^-1 yr^-1. Although the carbon stock, carbon absorption, and soil respiration values were higher than those reported in other oak forests in the world, the NEP was similar or lower. Conclusions: These results indicator that Q. glauca forests perform the role of a large carbon sink through the CO₂ absorption in the plants in terms of carbon balance. And it is judged to be helpful as data for assessment of carbon storage and flux in the forests and mitigation of elevated CO₂ in the atmosphere.

벌채 수확은 토양 내 탄소 동태를 변화시킬 수 있는 중요한 교란 중 하나이다. 그러나 수확에 따른 토양탄소 변화를 현지에서 장기간 연구하는 데에는 여러 가지 제한 요건이 있기 때문에 수학적 모델을 이용하여 장기적인 토양탄소 변화 경향을 효율적으로 추정할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 최근 개발된 한국형 산림토양탄소 모델(KFSC 모델)을 이용하여 국내 중부지방 소나무(Pinus densiflora S. et Z.) 임분을 대상으로 수확의 주기, 강도, 수확 후 잔재물 처리방법에 따른 산림토양탄소 동태의 장기 변화를 모의하였다. 모의 시나리오는 3개의 수확 주기(50년, 80년, 100년), 2개의 수확 강도(재적 대비 30%의 부분수확 및 100%의 개벌수확), 2개의 수확 후 잔재물 처리방법(지상부 잔재물의 전량 수거 및 전량 방치) 등을 조합하여 총 12개로 이루어졌으며, 연간 토양탄소 저장량의 변화를 400년 간 모의하였다. 모의 결과, 400년 후 30 cm 깊이까지의 토양탄소 저장량은 시나리오별로 50.3-55.8 Mg C $ha^{-1}$(현재 토양탄소 저장량 대비: 98.1-108.9%)의 범위를 나타냈다. 수확 후 잔재물을 전량 방치할 경우 잔재물을 전량 수거할 때보다 토양탄소 저장량이 2.5-11.0% 증가하는 것으로 모의되었으나, 수확 주기 및 강도에 따른 토양탄소 저장량 변화에서는 일정한 경향이 나타나지 않았다. 토양탄소 저장량의 변화 경향은 고사유기물의 변화 경향과 일치하였으며, 고사유기물의 변화 경향은 수확 시 발생하는 고사유기물의 양과 수확 후 임분 생장 형태에 의해 달라지는 것으로 나타났다.

he land use, land-use change, and forestry (LULUCF) is one of the greenhouse gas inventory sectors that cover emission and removals of greenhouse gases resulting from land use such as agricultural activities and land use change. Particularly, LULUCF-Cropland sector consists of carbon stock changes in soil, $N_2O$ emissions from disturbance associated with land use conversion to cropland, and $CO_2$ emission from agricultural lime application. In this paper, we conducted the study to calculate the greenhouse gases emission of LULUCF-Cropland sector in South Korea from 1990 to 2014. The emission by carbon stock changes, conversion to cropland and lime application in 2014 was 4424, 32, and 125 Gg $CO_2$-eq, respectively. Total emission from the LULUCF-Cropland sector in 2014 was 4,582 Gg $CO_2$-eq, increased by 508% since 1990 and decreased by 0.7% compared to the previous year. Total emission from this sector showed that the largest sink was the soil carbon and its increase trend in total emission in recent years was largely due to loss of cropland area.

Background: The Arctic permafrost stores enormous amount of carbon (C), about one third of global C stocks. However, drastically increasing temperature in the Arctic makes the stable frozen C stock vulnerable to microbial decomposition. The released carbon dioxide from permafrost can cause accelerating C feedback to the atmosphere. Soil organic matter (SOM) composition would be the basic information to project the trajectory of C under rapidly changing climate. However, not many studies on SOM characterization have been done compared to quantification of SOM stocks. Thus, the purpose of our study is to determine soil properties and molecular compositions of SOM in four different Arctic regions. We collected soils in different soil layers from 1) Cambridge Bay, Canada, 2) Council, Alaska, USA, 3) Svalbard, Norway, and 4) Zackenberg, Greenland. The basic soil properties were measured, and the molecular composition of SOM was analyzed through pyrolysis-gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (py-GC/MS). Results: The Oi layer of soil in Council, Alaska showed the lowest soil pH and the highest electrical conductivity (EC) and SOM content. All soils in each site showed increasing pH and decreasing SOC and EC values with soil depth. Since the Council site was moist acidic tundra compared to other three dry tundra sites, soil properties were distinct from the others: high SOM and EC, and low pH. Through the py-GC/MS analysis, a total of 117 pyrolysis products were detected from 32 soil samples of four different Arctic soils. The first two-axis of the PCA explained 38% of sample variation. While short- and mid-hydrocarbons were associated with mineral layers, lignins and polysaccharides were linked to organic layers of Alaska and Cambridge Bay soil. Conclusions: We conclude that the py-GC/MS results separated soil samples mainly based on the origin of SOM (plants- or microbially-derived). This molecular characteristics of SOM can play a role of controlling SOM degradation to warming. Thus, it should be further investigated how the SOM molecular characteristics have impacts on SOM dynamics through additional laboratory incubation studies and microbial decomposition measurements in the field.

Background: Tropical montane forests played an important role in the provision of ecosystem services. The intense degradation and deforestation for the need of agricultural land expansion result in a significant decline of forest cover. However, the expansion of agricultural land did not completely destruct natural forests. There remain forests inaccessible for agricultural and grazing purpose. Studies on these forests remained scant, motivating to investigate biomass and soil carbon stocks. Data of biomass and soils were collected in 80 quadrats ($400m^2$) systematically in 5 forests. Biomass and disturbance gradients were determined using allometric equation and disturbance index, respectively. The regression modeling is employed to explore the spatial distribution of carbon stock along disturbance and environmental gradients. Correlation analysis is also employed to identify the relation between site factors and carbon stocks. Results: The result revealed that a total of 1655 individuals with a diameter of ${\geq}5cm$, representing 38 species, were measured in 5 forests. The mean aboveground biomass carbon stocks (AGB CS) and soil organic carbon (SOC) stocks at 5 forests were $191.6{\pm}19.7$ and $149.32{\pm}6.8Mg\;C\;ha^{-1}$, respectively. The AGB CS exhibited significant (P < 0.05) positive correlation with SOC and total nitrogen (TN) stocks, reflecting that biomass seems to be a general predictor of SOCs. AGB CS between highly and least-disturbed forests was significantly different (P < 0.05). This disturbance level equates to a decrease in AGB CS of 36.8% in the highly disturbed compared with the least-disturbed forest. In all forests, dominant species sequestrated more than 58% of carbon. The AGB CS in response to elevation and disturbance index and SOC stocks in response to soil pH attained unimodal pattern. The stand structures, such as canopy cover and basal area, had significant positive relation with AGB CS. Conclusions: Study results confirmed that carbon stocks of studied forests were comparable to carbon stocks of protected forests. The biotic, edaphic, topographic, and disturbance factors played a significant variation in carbon stocks of forests. Further study should be conducted to quantify carbon stocks of herbaceous, litter, and soil microbes to account the role of the whole forest ecosystem.

This study was conducted to estimate of carbon stock and greenhouse gas (GHGs) removals by tree species and forest type at Gangwon province. We used a point sampling data with permanent sample plots in national forest inventory and national emission factors. GHGs emissions was caclulated using the stock change method related to K-MRV and IPCC guidance. Total carbon stock and greenhouse gas removals were high in deciduous forest and species than in coniferous. The range of annual net greenhouse gas emissions in other deciduous species was from $-11,564.83Gg\;CO_2\;yr^{-1}$ to $-13,500.60Gg\;CO_2\;yr^{-1}$ during 3 years (2011~2013). On the other hand, coniferous forest was temporally converted to source due to reducing of growing stock in 2012. It was that growing stocks and forest area were likely to reduce by the deforestation and clear cutting. This study did not consider other carbon pools (soil and dead organic matter) due to the lack of data. This study needs to complement the activity data and emission factors, and then will find the way to calculate the greenhouse gas emissions and removals in the near future.

산림 사업이 산림의 탄소저장량에 미치는 영향을 알아보기 위하여 임상도, 산림사업 정보 및 토양 정보 등을 활용하여 산림 사업 전후의 지상부 및 토양의 탄소저장량을 산정하고 그 변화를 분석하고자 하였다. 먼저 임상도 정보에 기초하여 면적이 넓고 영급이 감소하는 도엽 6곳을 선정하였다. 그리고 임상도와 생장계수, 산정 지역의 토양유기물함량, 토양용적밀도 등 데이터를 수집하여 산림 탄소저장량을 산정하였다. 그 결과 모든 곳에서 산림 탄소저장량은 산림사업 후 약 34.1~70.0%가 감소하였다. 그리고 기존 연구와 비교했을 때 국내 산림 토양은 지상부에 비해 더 적은 탄소를 저장하고 있어 우리나라의 산림 토양은 더 많은 탄소를 저장할 수 있는 잠재성이 큰 것으로 판단되며 탄소저장량 증대를 위한 전략이 필요할 것으로 판단되었다. 산림사업이 없을 때 있을 때보다 탄소저장량은 약 1.5배 많은 것으로 추정되었다. 그리고 본 연구에서 산림사업에 따라 간벌 전 산림 탄소저장량으로 회복되기까지 약 27년이 걸리는 것으로 추정되었다. 산림은 물리적 훼손에 의해 탄소저장량이 감소하면 원래의 탄소저장량으로 회복되기까지 오랜 시간이 걸리므로 특히 자연성이 높은 산림은 최대한 보전하는 계획을 수립하여 산림의 탄소저장 기능을 유지할 수 있도록 하여야 할 것이다.

본 연구는 벼 재배 장기연용 시험포장에서 다른 특성의 토양개량제 사용이 벼(Oryza sativa) 생산량, 토양 가용성 탄소, 질소함량 및 탄소 저장량 변화에 미치는 영향을 평가하고자 하였다. 본 시험에 사용된 처리구는 NPK 처리구, NPKS 처리구(NPK+규산), NPKL 처리구(NPK+생석회), NPKC 처리구(NPK+볏짚퇴비)를 장기연용 포장에서 선별하여 실험을 진행하였다. 1995년 처리구 간의 유의한 벼 수량 차이 없었으나, 2019년 NPKL, NPKC 처리구 벼 수량은 NPK 처리구보다 각각 4.3%와 14.3%씩 증수되었다. 2019년 NPKS와 NPKL 처리구의 토양 pH는 각각 6.7과 6.4였고, 시험 전 토양 pH (5.2)보다 증가하였다. 시험 전과 비교할 때, NPK, NPKS 및 NPKL 처리구의 토양 유기물 함량은 통계적으로 유의적인 차이를 나타내지 않았으나 NPKC는 1995년과 2019년에 각각 34 g/kg, 27 g/kg으로 증가하였다. 토양의 가용성 탄소 및 질소 함량은 2019년의 NPKS 및 NPKL 처리구에서 1.1에서 1.9배 가량 증가하였다. 이러한 결과를 종합하여 벼 재배시 토양개량제 사용은 재배전 토양검정을 통해 토양의 특성을 파악하여 사용하는 것이 생산량 증대와 더불어 농업환경을 고려한 토양관리방법이라고 판단된다.

Tropical forests play a critical role in mitigating climate change, and therefore, an accurate and precise estimation of tropical forest carbon (C) is needed. However, there are many uncertainties associated with C stock estimation in a tropical forest, mainly due to its large variations in biomass. Hence, we quantified C stocks in an intact lowland mixed dipterocarp forest (MDF) in Brunei, and investigated variations in biomass and topography. Tree, deadwood, and soil C stocks were estimated by using the allometric equation method, the line intersect method, and the sampling method, respectively. Understory vegetation and litter were also sampled. We then analyzed spatial variations in tree and deadwood biomass in relation to topography. The total C stock was 321.4 Mg C $ha^{-1}$, and living biomass, dead organic matter, and soil C stocks accounted for 67%, 11%, and 23%, respectively, of the total. The results reveal that there was a relatively high C stock, even compared to other tropical forests, and that there was no significant relationship between biomass and topography. Our results provide useful reference data and a greater understanding of biomass variations in lowland MDFs, which could be used for greenhouse gas emission-reduction projects.
