Soil respiration rate was measured from March to November 2003 using the KOH absorption method in Pinus densiflora, Quercus variabilis, Platycarya strobilacea stands in Jinju, Gyeongnam Province. Throughout the study period, average soil temperature and moisture content were 16.2$^{\circ}C$, 25.1% for P. densiflora stand, 17.1$^{\circ}C$, 24.3% for Q. variabilis stand, and 17.6$^{\circ}C$, 25.1% for P. strobilacea stand, respectively. The seasonal fluctuations of soil respiration rate increasing in summer and decreasing in winter, which there were strong positive correlations of soil respiration and soil temperature in all study stands. However, there were no significant correlations between soil moisture and soil respiration. Soil respiration rates throughout the study period ranged from 0.12 to 0.77 for P. densiflora stand, 0.23 to 1.37 for Q. valiabilis stand, and 0.30 to 1.47 g $CO_2\cdotm^{-2}\cdothr^{ -1}$ for P. strobilacea stand, respectively. Mean soil respiration rates in P. densiflora, Q. variabilis, P. strobilacea stands were 0.43, 0.80, and 0.90 g $CO_2\cdotm^{-2}\cdothr^{ -1}$, respectively. The Q$_{10}$ values were 2.38 for P. densiflora stand, 2.11 for Q. variabilis stand, and 2.07 for P. strobilacea stand. Annual total soil respiration was 24 for P. densiflora stand, 49.3 for Q. variabilis stand, and 55.3 t $CO_2\cdotha^{-1}\cdotyr^{ -1}$ for P. strobilacea stand, respectively.y.

Climate models forecast more frequent and a longer period of drought events which may impact forest soil carbon dynamics, thereby altering the soil respiration (SR) rate. We examine the simulated drought effects on soil $CO_2$ effluxes from soil surface partitioning heterotrophic and autotrophic soil respiration sources. Three replicates of drought plots ($6{\times}6m$) were constructed with the same size of three control plots. We examined the relation between $CO_2$ and soil temperature and soil moisture, each being measured at a soil depth of 15 cm. We also compared which factor affected $CO_2$ efflux more under drought conditions. Total SR, autotrophic respiration (AR) and heterotrophic respiration (HR) were positively correlated with soil temperature (p < 0.05), and the relationships were stronger in roof plots than in control plots. Total SR, AR, and HR were negatively correlated only in roof plots, and the only HR showed a significant correlation (p < 0.05, r = -0.59). Soil respiration rates were more influenced by soil temperature than by soil moisture, and this relationship was more evident under drought conditions.

For better understand of the soil respiration characteristic in ecosystem, it is necessary to accurately determine the daily, monthly and seasonal $CO_2$ flux related to various environmental factors. In general, soil respiration is being measured on a sunny day. But soil respiration is known to be affected by soil temperature and soil moisture content. In case of forestry, changes in soil moisture content are entirely dependent on rainfall. If we calculated the monthly soil respiration measured based on sunny days data only, it could be a factor that loses credibility soil respiration. On this study, we measured soil respiration on Pinus koraiensis plantation at Mt. Taehwa of Gwangju, Gyeonggi-do on sunny and rainy days in 2012, using Automatic Open-Closed Chamber system (AOCC) and portable $CO_2$ analyzer (GMP343). Then we computed the regression equations using sunny days data, precipitation less than 10 mm data, and precipitation over 10 mm data. At first, there were no significant differences in observed data and computed data. But less than 10 mm precipitation, computed data was 26.5% lower than observed data. Precipitation over 10 mm, on the other hand, the former was 29.3% higher than the latter. In each case, it showed significant differences between observed and computed data (p<0.05). So if we computed regression equation using soil respiration measured sunny days only, about 30% of annual soil respiration could be overestimated. Through further study, we suggest the subdivision and computation of regression equation on the basis of the rainfall intensity.

본 연구는 몬순기후에 의해 장마라는 특징적인 강우패턴을 가지는 환경조건에서 강우 패턴 및 강우 강도의 변화가 삼림 내 지표 유출수와 토양수분함량을 변화시켜 토양호흡의 배출 양상을 어떻게 변화시키는지 알아보기 위하여 수행되었다. 대상지는 경기도 광주시에 위치한 서울대학교 학술림 내 잣나무식재림으로 2012년 1년 동안 자동 토양호흡 쳄버를 이용하여 연변화를 측정하였고 단근처리 기법을 이용하여 토양호흡 중 약 24%가 뿌리호흡에서 기인한 것으로 추정되었다. 이와 더불어 장마와 태풍으로 인한 다양한 강도의 강우가 발생한 7월 말부터 9월 말까지 휴대용 토양호흡 측정기를 이용하여 관측지 내 단근처리구와 단근 및 강우차단처리구에서 종속영양생물호흡을 측정하였다. 토양수분함량의 경우 고강도의 강우가 며칠씩 이어지더라도 20%를 초과하지 않았다. 이는 강수가 상대적으로 적은 시기에는 수목활성이나 토양미생물의 활성에 영향을 미칠 것으로 추정된다. 강우 강도가 10 mm 이하의 저강도 강우에서는 종속영양생물호흡이 약 14.4% 상승하였으나 10 mm 이상의 고강도 강우조건에서는 종속영양생물호흡이 25.5% 감소하였다. 이는 강우 강도에 따라 종속영양생물호흡의 배출 양상이 달라짐을 보여주었다.

본 연구는 토양호흡 측정방법을 소개하고 국내에서 관측된 토양호흡 자료를 고찰하고, 토양호흡 관측 자료 비교시 발생하는 문제점을 정리하였다. 토양호흡측정 방법은 측정원리에 따라 알칼리흡습법, 밀폐상법, 밀폐상역학법, 통기법으로 분류된다. 국내 토양호흡연구를 종합분석한 결과, 국내의 생태계에 적용 된 토양 호흡 측정 방법은 밀폐상역학법(62%), 알칼리흡습법(17%), 통기법(13%), 밀폐상법(8%)이 이용되었고 이러한 방법에 사용된 기기로는 LI-6400-09, EGM-3, EGM-4, 자동토양호흡측정기 등이 있다. 또한, 국내 토양호흡은 대부분 산림 생태계에 국한되어 관측이 이루어졌으며 관측된 평균 토양호흡은 130~900mg $CO_2\;m^{-2}h^{-1}$ 범위였다. 그러나 국내 토양호흡 관측이 산발적 불연속적으로 이루어져 축적된 자료가 매우 빈약한 실정이며, 토양호흡의 상호 비교 및 정량화를 위해 측정방법간의 비교 및 오차에 대한 검증된 연구가 없어 관측된 토양호흡값의 상호비교가 어려운 실정이다. 이로 인해 한반도 생태계의 탄소수지의 정확한 예측자료를 생산하기 위한 기초 자료로서의 가치를 저하시키고 있다. 한반도 탄소순환 메커니즘의 이해를 위해서는 보다 다양한 생태계의 토양호흡 관측이 시급히 이루어져야하며 토양호흡을 조절하는 환경요인과 상호작용에 관한 연구, 다양한 기상 조건을 포함하는 토양호흡 연구가 절실히 요구된다. 더불어 토양호흡의 발생원 별 구분에 대한 국내의 연구결과는 대단히 미약한 수준으로 토양호흡의 메카니즘이해와 정확한 탄소수지이해를 위해 발생원 별 토양호흡량 정량에 대한 연구가 이루어져야한다.

This study was carried out to evaluate soil carbon cycling of a 36-year-old larch (Larix leptolepis) stand in Korea. The aboveground and soil organic carbon storage, litterfall, and soil respiration rates were measured over twoyear periods. The estimated aboveground biomass carbon storage and increment were 4220 gC $m^{-2}$ and 150 gC $m^{-2}\;yr^{-1}$, respectively. Mean organic carbon inputs by needle and total litterfall were 118 gC $m^{-2}\;yr^{-1}$ and 168 gC $m^{-2}\;yr^{-1}$, respectively. The aboveground carbon increment of the stand was similar to the annual input of carbon from total litterfall. The soil respiration rates correlated exponentially with the soil temperature at a depth of 20 cm ($R^2$ = 0.86). In addition, the exponential regression equation indicated a relatively strong positive relationship between the soil respiration rates and soil temperature, while there was no significant relationship between the soil respiration rates and the soil moisture content. The annual mean and total soil respiration rates were 0.40 g $CO_2\;m^{-2} h^{-1}$ and 3010 g $CO_2\;m^{-2}\;yr^{-1}$ over the two-year study period, respectively.

This paper was studied $CO_2$ respiration rate with physicochemical properties of soils at wetland, paddy field and forest in Nongju-ri, Haeryong-myeon, Suncheon city, Jeollanam-do. Soil temperature and $CO_2$ respiration rate were measured at the field, and soil pH, moisture and soil organic carbon were analyzed in laboratory. Field monitoring was conducted at 6 points (W3, W7, W13, W17, W23, W27) for wetland, 3 points (P1, P2, P3) for paddy field and 3 points (F1, F2, F3) for forest in 10 January 2009. $CO_2$ concentrations in chamber were measured 352~382 ppm for wetland, 364~382 ppm for paddy field and 379~390 ppm for forest, and the average values were 370 ppm, 370 ppm and 385 ppm, respectively. $CO_2$ respiration rates of soils were measured $-73{\sim}44\;mg/m^2/hr$ for wetland, $-74{\sim}24\;mg/m^2/hr$ for paddy field and $-55{\sim}106\;mg/m^2/hr$ for forest, and the average values were $-8\;mg/m^2/hr$, $-25\;mg/m^2/hr$ and $38\;mg/m^2/hr$. $CO_2$ was uptake from air to soil in wetland and paddy field, but it was emission from soil to air in forest. $CO_2$ respiration rate function in uptake condition increased exponential and linear as soil temperature and soil organic carbon. But, it in emission condition decreased linear as soil temperature and soil organic carbon. $CO_2$ respiration rate function in wetland decreased linear as soil moisture, but its in paddy and forest increased linear as soil moisture. $CO_2$ respiration rate function in all sites increased linear as soil pH, and increasing rate at forest was highest.

Background: Large-scale land-use change is being caused by various socioeconomic problems. Land-use change is necessarily accompanied by changes in the regional carbon balance in terrestrial ecosystems and affects climate change. Therefore, it is crucial to understand the correlation between environmental factors altered by land-use change and the carbon balance. To address this issue, we studied the characteristics of soil carbon flux and soil moisture content related to rainfall events in mountain pastures converted from deciduous forest in Korea. Results: The average soil moisture contents (SMC) during the study period were 23.1% in the soil respiration (SR) plot and 25.2% in the heterotrophic respiration (HR) plot. The average SMC was increased to 2.1 and 1.1% in the SR and HR plots after rainfall events, respectively. In addition, saturated water content was 29.36% in this grassland. The soil water content was saturated under the consistent rainfall of more than $5mm\;h^{-1}$ rather than short-term heavy rainfall event. The average SR was increased to 28.4% after a rainfall event, but the average HR was decreased to 70. 1%. The correlation between soil carbon flux rates and rainfall was lower than other environmental factors. The correlation between SMC and soil carbon flux rates was low. However, HR exhibited a tendency to be decreased when SMC was 24.5%. In addition, the correlation between soil temperature and respiration rate was significant. Conclusions: In a mountain pasture ecosystem, rainfall induced the important change of soil moisture content related to respiration in soil. SR and HR were very sensitive to change of SMC in soil surface layer about 0-10-cm depth. SR was increased by elevation of SMC due to a rainfall event, and the result was assumed from maintaining moderate soil moisture content for respiration in microorganism and plant root. However, HR was decreased in long-time saturated condition of soil moisture content. Root has obviously contributed to high respiration in heavy rainfall, but it was affected to quick depression in respiration under low rainfall. The difference of SMC due to rainfall event was causative of a highly fluctuated soil respiration rate in the same soil temperature condition. Therefore, rainfall factor or SMC are to be considered in predicting the soil carbon flux of grassland ecosystems for future climate change.

In order to gain a better understanding of how forests participate in the cycling of carbon, effects of nitrogen addition on soil respiration were investigated on the oak forest in Kongju, Korea. Study site was divided into control, treatment f and treatment 2 plots, with 5 replication in each plot. In each replicate of treatment 1 and treatment 2 were fertilized with ammonium nitrate (NH$_4$NO$_3$), 30 g/$m^2$ and 60 g/$m^2$, respectively. Soil respiration, soil temperature, ammonium-N and nitrate-N were measured during the experimental period. Ammonium-N and nitrate-N in Ta were higher than those in control and T$_1$. Ammonium-N and nitrate-N in top-soil and sub-soil decreased sharply in August after bi9 rainfall in July in T$_1$ and T$_2$, however, those in control plot increased. Soil respiration in T$_2$ Plot showed consistently higher than those in control and T$_1$ until the end of July. However, soil respiration was similar among the control, T$_1$ and T$_2$ in mid-August and September The amount of Co$_2$ released from soil respiration in control, T$_1$ and T$_2$ in mid-August was 8.0$\pm$0.4, 9.3$\pm$0.6 and 10.2$\pm$0.5 $\mu$mol$^{-1}$ ㆍm$^{-2}$ ㆍs$^{-1}$ , respectively. However, those in control, T$_1$ and T$_2$in mid-August was 13.0$\pm$0.4, 13.5$\pm$0.5, 13.3$\pm$0.6 $\mu$mol$^{-1}$ ㆍm$^{-2}$ ㆍ$^{-1}$ , respectively. The results suggest that nitrogen addition in this oak forest has a positive effect on soil respiration.

탄소 순환에 중요한 부분을 차지하는 토양 호흡을 뿌리와 토양 미생물에 의한 호흡으로 분리하는 세가지 연구 방법, 즉 (1) 구성 요소 직접 측정 방법, (2) 뿌리 제거 방법, (3) 동위원소 이용 방법을 검토하였다. 이 중에서,구성 요소 직접 측정 방법과 뿌리 제거 방법이 가장 널리 사용되고 있는데, 전체 토양 호흡에서 뿌리 호흡이 차지하는 부분은 뿌리 제거 방법이 다른 두 방법과 비교하여 더 높게 나타난다. 뿌리 제거 방법 중 단근처리 방법은 뿌리를 굴취하여 제거하거나 지상부 식생을 제거하는 방법과 비교해 볼 때 토양이나 관측 지면에 거의 교란을 일으키지 않는 다 동위원소 이용 방법은 다른 방법과 비교해서 토양이나 뿌리에 미치는 영향이 가장 적으나 비용이 많이 들고 복잡한 분석 기술을 필요로 한다. 관측지의 교란을 최소화하면서 발생원별 토양 호흡에 기여하는 부분을 계산하는 방법으로 단근처리 방법이 적절한 것으로 사료된다. 그러나 이 방법이 뿌리의 분해로 인해 미생물의 호흡을 과대평가함을 고려해서 뿌리의 분해를 동시에 관측하거나 큰 뿌리들을 피해서 단근처리 대상지역을 선택함으로써 현실적인 결과를 얻을 수 있을 것이다.
