Carbon dioxide is one of the major driving forces causing climate changes, and many countries have been trying to reduce carbon dioxide emissions from various sources. Soil stores more carbon dioxide(two to three times) amounts than atmosphere indicating that soil organic carbon emission management are a pivotal issue. In this study, we developed a Soil Organic Carbon(SOC) storage estimation model to predict SOC storage amounts in soils. Also, SOC storage values were assessed based on the carbon emission price provided from Republic Of Korea(ROK). Here, the SOC model calculated the soil hydraulic properties based on the soil physical and chemical information. Base on the calculated the soil hydraulic properties and the soil physical chemical information, SOC storage amounts were estimated. In validation, the estimated SOC storage amounts were 486,696 tons($3.526kg/m^2$) in Jindo-gun and shown similarly compared to the previous literature review. These results supported the robustness of our SOC model in estimating SOC storage amounts. The total SOC storage amount in ROK was 305 Mt, and the SOC amount at Gyeongsangbuk-do were relatively higher than other regions. But the SOC storage amount(per unit) was highest in Jeju island indicating that volcanic ashes might influence on the relatively higher SOC amount. Based on these results, the SOC storage value was shown as 8.4 trillion won in ROK. Even though our SOC model was not fully validated due to lacks of measured SOC data, our approach can be useful for policy-makers in reducing soil organic carbon emission from soils against climate changes.

Soil organic carbon (SOC) is a critical component of soil health and is crucial in mitigating climate change by sequestering carbon from the atmosphere. Accurate estimation of SOC storage is essential for understanding SOC dynamics and developing effective soil management strategies. This study aimed to investigate the factors influencing the spatial distribution of SOC storage in South Korea, using bulk density (BD) prediction to estimate SOC stock. The study utilized data from 393 soil series collected from various land uses across South Korea established by Korea Rural Development Administration from 1968-1999. The samples were analyzed for soil properties such as soil texture, pH, and BD, and SOC stock was estimated using a predictive model based on BD. The average SOC stock in South Korea at 30 cm topsoil was 49.1 Mg/ha. The study results revealed that soil texture and land use were the most significant factors influencing the spatial distribution of SOC storage in South Korea. Forested areas had significantly higher SOC storage than other land use types. Climate variables such as temperature and precipitation had a relative influence on SOC storage. The findings of this study provide valuable insights into the factors influencing the spatial distribution of SOC storage in South Korea.

In order to obtain the information of bio-environment control, the thermal characteristics of soil in the greenhouse heated by the heat pump and latent heat storage system were experimentally analyzed. The experimental systems were composed of the greenhouse with a heat pump and a latent heat storage system (system I), the greenhouse with a heat pump (system II), the greenhouse with a latent heat storage system (system III), and the greenhouse without auxiliary heating system (system IV). The thermal characteristics experimentally analyzed in each system were temperature of soil layers, soil heat storage and release, soil heat capacity and soil heat storage ratio. The results could be summarized as follows. 1. Time to reach the highest temperature at 20cm deep in soil layers of the crop routs in case of system I was shown to be delayed by 6 hours in comparison to the time of the highest temperature at the soil surface. 2. In the clear winter days, the stored heat capacity values fur the system I and the system II were shown to be 22.3% and 11.0% higher than the released heat capacity respectively, and the stored heat capacity values for the system III and the system IV were shown to be 6.2% and 29.6% lower than the released heat capacity respectively This confirms that the system I provided the best heat storage effect. j. The heat quantity values stored or released were shown to be highest at 5 cm depth of soil layers. And it was reduced with increasing of depth of soil layers until 20 cm and was not changed under the soil layer of 20 cm depth. 4. The heat absorption rates of soil, the ratio between supplied and stored heat energy, fur both the system I and system II were lower than 23%.

본 연구는 산불 발생이 임지의 수저류 특성에 미치는 영향을 알아보기 위해 실시했다. 비산불 지역과 산화적지를 대상으로 산림토양의 수저류능을 토양공극, 최대수분량, 이용가능수량, 그리고 투수율을 측정하여 비교 분석하였다. 주요 인자들의 측정에 의해서 얻어진 결과는 다음과 같다. 산화적지와 대조구에서 토성이 깊어질수록 전공극(全孔隙), 조공극(組孔隙), 이용가능 수량, 투수율은 모두 감소하는 경향을 나타내고, 세공극(細孔隙)은 약간 증가하는 경향이 있었다. 대조구에 비해 산화적지에서는 투수율, 조공극량 및 이용가능수량이 낮게 나타나는 반면, 세공극량은 높게 나타났다. 그리고 산불이 발생한 직후에는 산림토양의 공극량 분포에 큰 변화가 일어나지 않지만, 시간이 경과함에 따라 산화적지의 표토 공극분포에 변화를 일으키면서 서서히 토심 20-40cm까지 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 토심변화에 따른 이용가능수량의 변화는 대조구에 비해 산화적지에서 상대적으로 큰 폭으로 감소하는 경향이 있었다. 이 결과로 산림의 수저류능은 산불에 의해 크게 영향을 받는 것을 알 수 있었다.

This study was carried out to evaluate soil carbon and nutrient storage of three adjacent coniferous plantations (Larix leptolepis, Pinus densiflora and Pinus rigitaeda) growing on a similar site with a same planting age (42-year old) in the Sambong Exhibition Forests, Hamyang-gun, Gyungsangnam-do. The soil carbon concentration among three plantations was not significantly different in 0∼10cm soil depth, but other two depths (10∼20cm and 20∼30cm) showed higher carbon concentration in P. densiflora plantation than the other two plantations. The exchangeable cation concentrations (Ca and Mg) in 0∼10cm depth were significantly lower in L. leptolepis plantation than in the other two plantations, while nitrogen and phosphorus concentrations were not significantly different among three plantations except for nitrogen at 10∼20cm depth in P. rigitaeda plantation. Soil carbon storage in 0∼20cm depth of three plantations was unaffected by the stand types. Soil nutrient storage was not significantly different at each depth except for nitrogen storage at 10∼20cm depth in P. rigitaeda plantation because of the variation of bulk density and coarse fragment. This result demonstrates that soil carbon and nutrient concentrations among the plantations on a similar soil condition can be altered significantly by tree species effects over 40 years after plantation establishment.

Geochemical study was carried out to find out soil contamination at the heaped soil, moved from bottom of the storage pond in Pohang industrial complex, in Moondug, Chemical analysis showed that contents of heavy metals in the soil were higher than those of the ordinary soil. Contents of Cu and Cd in the soil exceeded Korean standard of soil contamination. Especially content of Cu exceeded Korean standard of soil contamination(50ppm) at the six points and at one point content of Cu was 113.3ppm. Contents of Be were so higher than U.S RCRA standard(0.2ppm) that they can affect soil environment. The followed research about relation between pollutant and soil and proper measures are required to prevent soil contamination from affecting environment of Moondug.

This study was conducted to evaluate forest carbon cycling and soil $CO_2$ efflux rates in a 42-year-old pine (Pinus densiflora) stand located in Hamyang-gun, Korea. Aboveground and soil organic carbon storage, litterfall, litter decomposition, and soil $CO_2$ efflux rates were measured for one year. Estimated aboveground biomass carbon storage and increment in this stand were $3,250gC/m^2\;and\;156gC\;m^{-2}yr^{-1}$, respectively. Soil organic carbon storage at the depth of 30 cm was $10,260gC/m^2$ Mean organic carbon inputs by needle and total litterfall were $176gC\;m^{-2}yr^{-1}\;and\;235gC\;m^{-2}yr^{-1}$, respectively. Litter decomposition rates were faster in nne roots less than 2 mm diameter size ($<220\;g\;kg^{-1}yr^{-1}$) than in needle litter ($<120\;g\;kg^{-1}yr^{-1}$). Annual mean and total soil respiration rates were $0.37g\;CO_2m^{-2}h^{-1}$ and $2,732g\;CO_2m^{-2}yr^{-1}$ during the study period. A strong positive relationship existed between soil $CO_2$ efflux and soil temperature (r=0.8149), while soil $CO_2$ efflux responded negatively to soil pH (r=-0.3582).

본 연구에서는 강우-유출모델링에서 선행습윤상태를 파악하기 위해 자주 사용되는 여러 선행강우지수를 활용하여, 실제 측정된 토양수분자료들로부터 평가된 토양 저류량과의 비교 분석하고자 하였다. 나아가, 선행강우지수와 측정된 토양저류의 변화특성을 이용하여, 이전연구들에 비해 보다 명확한 관계를 이끌어낼 수 있었다. 이 관계를 바탕으로 약 2년여동안의 강우자료만을 통해 일 토양저류량을 모의하였으며, 측정된 일 토양저류량 값과 비교를 하였다. 모의된 토양저류량은 실제 측정된 토양저류량의 변화를 대체적으로 잘 묘사하고 있지만, 식생의 계절적인 변화와 영향과 관련한 수문학적 과정들의 변화로 인해 다소 차이가 있었다. 비록 본 연구결과가 경험 식으로부터 도출되었지만, 미 계측유역에서의 선행습윤상태를 파악하는 데 유용할 것으로 판단된다.

도시 공원지역의 토양 탄소저장량을 평가하기 위해 경상남도 진주시 하대공원(1977년 조성), 송림공원(1990년 조성), 평거공원(1992년 조성), 초전공원(2005년 조성) 등을 대상으로 0~30cm 깊이의 토양 성질 및 토양 탄소 저장량을 조사하였다. 토양 용적밀도는 공원 간 차이가 없었으나 석력함량, 토양 pH, 토양 전기전도도 등은 가장 최근에 조성된 초전공원이 가장 높은 값을 보였다. 토양 탄소 농도는 조사한 모든 깊이에서 조성연도가 가장 오래되고 미사함량이 높았던 하대공원이 평거공원에 비해 높은 농도를 보였다. 토양 0~30cm 깊이의 평균 탄소 농도는 하대공원 1.04%, 초전공원 0.87%, 송림공원 0.75%, 평거공원 0.57%이었다. 토양 탄소저장량은 0~10cm 깊이의 경우 공원 간 차이가 없었으나, 10~20cm와 20~30cm 깊이는 하대공원이 타 공원에 비해 높은 저장량을 보였다. 총 탄소저장량은 하대공원이 28,425 kg C ha^-1으로 송림공원의 20,561 kg C ha^-1이나 평거공원 15,622 kg C ha^-1에 비해 높았다. 평균 토양 탄소 농도 및 탄소 저장량은 미사함량과 정의 상관을 모래함량과는 부의 상관을 보였다. 본 연구 결과에 따르면 진주시의 공원지역의 탄소저장량의 증가는 조성연도나 토양 내 미사함량과 관련이 있을 가능성을 시사한다.
