  • Exotic conifer trees have been extensively planted in southern China because of their high apparent growth and yield. These fast-growing plantations are expected to persist as a considerable potential for temporary and long-term carbon sink to offset greenhouse gas emissions. However, information on the carbon storage across different age ranges in exotic pine plantations is often lacking. We first estimated the ecosystem carbon storage across different age ranges of exotic pine plantations in China by quantifying above- and below-ground ecosystem carbon pools. The carbon storage of each tree component of exotic pine (Pinus elliottii) increased significantly with increasing age in Duchang and Yiyang areas. The stem carbon storage except <10 years in Ji'an areas was the largest component among all other components, which accounts for about 50% of the total carbon storage followed by roots (~28%), branches (~18%), and foliage (~9%). The mean total tree carbon storage of slash pine plantations for <10, 10-20 and 20-30 years across three study areas was 3.69, 13.91 and $20.57Mg\;ha^{-1}$, respectively. The carbon stocks in understory and forest floor were age-independent. Total tree and soil were two dominant carbon pools in slash pine plantations at all age sequences. The carbon contribution of aboveground ecosystem increased with increasing age, while that of belowground ecosystem declined. The mean total ecosystem carbon storage of slash pine plantations for <10, 10-20 and 20-30 years across China was 30.26, 98.66 and $98.89Mg\;ha^{-1}$, respectively. Although subtropical climate in China was suitable for slash pine growth, the mean total carbon stocks in slash pine plantations at all age sequences from China were lower than that values reported in American slash pine plantations.

  • There are many countries having a long history of exotic tree introduction from different countries and several countries including New Zealand, Brazil and Hungary have successfully introduced exotic trees. Korea's tree breeding program for introduction of exotic tree was originally started from 1924. Records reveal that hundreds of tree species were introduced from many countries and tested their germination and viability. About 415 introductions were eliminated since they had been introduced and tested. Subsequently, seven exotic trees that proved successful in trials and plantations have planted for afforestation. Simultaneously, several promising exotic trees are still under the test. In this paper, we will succinctly review and evaluate their comparative growth performance of the exotic trees in the plantation programs of the country to coping with climate change.

  • 스웨덴으로부터 구주소나무 22개 산지 종자를 도입하여 우수산지 선발을 목적으로 36년간 경기도 수원 지방에서 시험한 결과, 식재 후 33년 생장에서 가장 우수한 생장을 보인 산지는 F3001산지로 $0.160m^3$, 불량산지는 W2027 산지가 $0.072m^3$로 2.2배의 산지간의 생장차이를 보여 통계적인 유의성을 인정할 수가 있었다. 수령 및 산지간의 생장의 순위는 식재 후 14년생에 접어들면서 우수했던 산지들이 수령 33년생에서도 지속적으로 우수하였으며, 불량했던 산지들도 동일한 경향이었다. 비교수종으로 식재한 강원 평창산지 소나무 생장과 비교할 때, 식재 후 구주소나무 14년생 22개 산지 평균재적생장은 국내소나무와 유사한 생장을 보였으나, 식재 후, 28년생과 33년생 단목 재적생장에서 국내소나무가 구주소나무에 비하여 205%와 333% 우수한 생장을 보였다. 외래수종을 도입하여 새로운 환경에서 순응하는 과정에서 유전적인 요인 및 환경경사 등이 복합적으로 표현되는 생존율에서 비교수종으로 사용한 국내 소나무의 식재 후 당년 조림활착율, 식재 후 3년, 28년, 33년의 생존율은 90%, 85%, 50%, 22%인데 반하여 구주소나무 22개산지 평균생존율은 89%, 70%, 42%, 18%로 국내 소나무의 생존율보다는 떨어지나 유사한 생존율을 보였다. 그러나 구주소나무의 생존율의 상태는 산지별로 반복간의 생존율에서 심한 차이를 보여 전수 고사한 반복이 나타나는 등 정상적인 밀도를 유지하지 못하고 비정상적인 생장으로 쇠퇴하고 있었다. 결론적으로 구주소나무는 원산지보다 온화한 남쪽지방인 우리나라 기후풍토에서 생육하면서 심각한 생리적인 스트레스에 의하여 정상적인 생장을 하지 못하고 허약해진 개체목들은 2차적으로 솔잎혹파리(Thecodiplosis japonensis Uchida et Inouye), 거품벌레(Aphrophora flavipes Uhler), 푸사리움 가지마름병(Fusarium circinatum) 등의 병충해의 집중적인 침범으로 고사하여 외래수종 도입 실패의 대표적인 지연된 실패로 판단하여 시험을 종료하였다.
