Abstract

This study has been carried out to estimate carbon fixation, and carbon NPP based on equation form of $Wt=aD^bH^c$ in natural stand of Quercus mongolica and Quercus variabilis in Chungju. The effect of improvement of environment was also evaluated by estimating sink of $CO_2$ gas in forest ecosystem of Korea in a year. The following effects have been obtained in analysing estimate of allometric equation. Equation form of $Wt=aD^bH^c$ was the most adequate, those of $Wt=a(D^2H)^b$, $Wt=aD^b$ estimate of the biomass and the carbon fixation in Quercus natural stand of Chungju. Total above ground of Quercus mongolica was 130.58 t/ha and that of Quercus variabilis was 137.38 t/ha. Annual production of two stands was 9.96 t/ha/yr, 8.64 t/ha/yr, respectively. Carbon fixation of total above ground was 60.52t C/ha in Quercus mongolica stand, and was 62.22t C/ha in Quercus variabilis stand. Annual fixation of carbon was 4.78t C/ha/yr and 4.28t C/ha/yr, seperately. Annual emission of carbon estimated 2.44t C/ha/yr in contrast of forest area in Korea. It was showed that the annual fixation of carbon was higher 1.84t C/ha/yr~2.34t C/ha/yr than annual emission of carbon. But foliage was 2.39t C/ha/yr and 1.89t C/ha/yr, which occupied 40% and 50% of annual carbon fixation of total above ground. Annual carbon fixation may fluctuate about 1.89t C/ha/yr~2.39t C/ha/yr by seasons.

충청북도 충주지역의 신갈나무와 굴참나무 천연림 생태계의 탄소 고정량을 allometric 공식을 이용하여 추정한 결과, 다음과 같았다. 충주지역의 탄소 고정량을 추정하는 방정식 모형으로 $Wt=aD^bH^c$가 $Wt=a(D^2H)^b$와 $Wt=aD^b$보다 적합하였다. 임분의 biomass 추정에서 지상부 총량은, 신갈나무 임분이 130.58 t/ha 이었고, 굴참나무 임분이 137.38 t/ha 였다. 그리고, 두 임분의 1 년간 생산할 수 있는 총량은 각각 신갈나무 임분의 지상부 총량이 9.96 t/ha/yr, 굴참나무 임분의 지상부 총량이 8.64 t/ha/yr 였다. 탄소의 지상부 총 고정량은 신갈나무 임분이 60.52t C/ha, 굴참나무 임분이 62.22t C/ha 였다. 연간 고정할 수 있는 탄소량은 신갈나무림이 4.78t C/ha/yr, 굴참나무림이 4.28t C/ha/yr 였다. 산림면적 대비 연 탄소방출량이 2.44t C/ha/yr 이었는데, 탄소 고정능력이 방출량 보다 1.84~2.34t C/ha/yr 만큼 더 큰 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 신갈나무와 굴참나무 천연림 생태계는 환경개선 효과가 큰 것으로 나타났다. 그러나 엽이 2.39t C/ha/yr와 1.89t C/ha/yr로, 50%와 44%를 차지하고 있기 때문에 확실한 고정량은 계절에 따라 유동적일 수 있다.
