Density Effects on the Size of 2-1 Korean Pine and 1-1 Jack Pine Nursery Stock

잣나무 2-1 묘(苗)와 방크스소나무 1-1 묘(苗)의 생장(生長)에 미치는 밀도효과(密度効果)

One of the most common needle leaf species used in planting in Korea is korean pine (Pinus koraiensis S. et Z.), and jack pine (Pinus banksiana Lamb.) is one of the test species for suitability. The relation of nursery bed density of 2-1 korean pine and 1-1 jack pine was studied at the Kwang Nung Nursery, Central Branch Station of Forest Research Institute, and about 40km north of Seoul. Nursery bed density of 2-1 korean pine, which ranged from 36 to 324 trees per square meters and of 1-1 jack pine, which ranged from 25 to 169 trees per square meters, had a marked effect on caliper, height, dry weight and percent and amount of plantable stock. The soil physical and chemical properties is silt plus clay, 50.55 percent; organic matter, 2.09 percent; total nitrogen, 0.13 percent; available phosphorus, 253.25 ppm; exchangeable potash, 0.46 m.e/100g; and pH, 5.58. As the density of the nursery seedling stand of 2-1 korean pine increases, the average tree height increases (Fig. 1A), but in 1-1 jack pine density do not affect to increase or decrease the average tree height. As the density of nursery bed increases, the average stem caliper (at 2cm above ground line) and dry weight decrease (Fig. 1B), but the decreasing rate is more seriously in 1-1 jack pine than 2-1 korean pine (Fig.5). As increasing the density of nursery bed, the T/R ratio of trees of the test species increase. Also the dry weight of leaf, stem and root parts are decreasing in proportion to the increase of stand density, but the drop rate of jack pine is more rapid than korean pine (table. 1) The patent facts of difference of growth characteristics between 2-1 korean pine and 1-1 jack pine were studied. These facts should be used to select the scale of stand density at the nursery bed or the plantable site. Korean pine is demanded high density, on the other hand in jack pine low density are more suitable to manage the stand density. Stands of comparatively low density had the greatest percentage of high-quality stock, and the stands of high density had less than the high quality trees of low density. An important criterion of the best density is percent and number of high-quality trees produced per square meter of bed area. Stem caliper and stem height of seedling is used in most public nurseries to sort seedling into plantable grades. The stock grade standard has set at 4.5mm caliper and 16cm height of 2-1 korean pine as the minimum desired stem caliper and height. By the result studies, the plantable stock grade standards of 2-1 korean pine used at stem height 16cm and stem caliper 4.5mm from public nurseries should be reformed to stem height 18cm and stem caliper 4.0mm by the growth characteristics and the tree distribution of stem height and caliper of relation to density. For the 2-1 korean pine, best density should be about 160 to 200 trees per square meter according to soil fertility. For the 1-1 jack pine, the suitable standard of plantable stock should be at stem height 25cm and caliper 6mm (at 2cm above ground line) and best density was about 100 to 120 trees.

잣나무 2-1묘(苗)와 방크스소나무 1-1묘(苗)의 생장(生長)에 미치는 밀도효과(密度効果)를 보기 위하여 광릉묘포(光陵苗圃)에서 잣나무의 경우는 $m^2$당 36본에서 324본까지 식재(植栽)하였으며 방크스소나무는 25본에서 169본까지 식재(植栽) 하였다. 실험결과(實驗結果) 묘고(苗高), 근원경(根元經), 건중량(乾重量) 및 규격묘(規格苗) 생산(生産)에 뚜렷한 효과(効果)를 보았다. 잣나무 2-1묘(苗)는 밀식(密植)시킬수록 수고생장(樹高生長)은 증대되고, 방크스소나무는 식재밀도구간(植栽密度區間)에 차이(差異)가 없었다. 잣나무와 방크스소나무는 밀식시킬수록 근원경(根元經) 생장(生長)은 감소되는 경향이 있으나 후자(後者)가 급격히 감소하고 있다. 잣나무의 평균목(平均木) 건중량(乾重量)은 밀식(密植)시킬수록 감소율은 낮으나 방크스소나무는 높다. 밀식(密植)으로 인해 일반적으로 T/R율(率)의 값은 증대되나 식재밀도구간(植栽密度區間)에 큰 차이(差異)가 나타나지 않고 있다. 평균목(平均木)의 잎 뿌리와 줄기의 건중량은 밀식(密植)시킬수록 감소되고 있으나 방크스소나무가 잣나무 보다 감소율이 높다. 그리고 잣나무의 경우는 줄기의 건중량(乾重量)은 밀식구(密植區)와 소식구간(疎植區間)에 차(差)가 적다. 밀식(密植)으로 나타나는 잣나무의 세장성(細長性) 보다는 방크스소나무의 세장성(細長性)이 더욱 높게 나타나고 있으나 밀식(密植)시킬수록 전체적인 물질생산량(物質生産量)은 증대되리라 생각 된다. 이상의 생장특성(生長特性)으로보아 잣나무의 이식상(移植床)을 만들때와 조림(造林)은 밀식(密植)시키도록 하고 방크스소나무는 소식(疎植)함이 효과(効果)적일것으로 생각 된다. 잣나무 2-1묘(苗)의 규격(規格)은 간장(幹長) 18cm 근원경(根元經)은 4mm로 개정(改正)시키고 $m^2$당 이식본수(移植本數)는 묘포비옥도(苗圃肥沃度)에 따라 160~200본(本)으로 함이 적합하리라 생각되며, 방크스소나무 1-1묘(苗)의 규격(規格)은 간장(幹長) 25cm 근원경(根元經) 6mm가 적합하며 $m^2$당 이식본수(移植本數)는 묘포비옥도(苗圃肥沃度)에 따라 100-120본(本)이 적합할 것이다.
