Abstract
This study was carried out to examine the recovery of forest ecosystem by changes of soil chemical properties and soil microorganism at the burned areas of coniferous (Mt. Chocdae) and broad leaved forest (Samsinbong in Mt. Chiri). In the soil chemical properties of the burned area of Samsinbong, pH was 5.8, and contents of organic matter, total nitrogen, available P₂O/sub 5/, exchangeable K/sup ＋/, exchangeable Ca/sup ＋＋/ and exchangeable Mg/sup ＋＋/ were 7.42%, 0.73%, 28.5 ㎎/㎏, 1.3 me/100g, 13.3 me/100g and 2.2 me/100g, respectively. But they showed a tendency to decrease with time. In the soil chemical properties of the burned area of Mt. Chocdae, pH was 5.3, and contents of organic matter, total nitrogen, available P2O5, exchangeable K/sup ＋/, exchangeabe Ca/sup ＋＋/ and Exchangeable Mg/sup ＋＋/ were 6.42%, 0.25%, 24.4 ㎎/㎏, 0.7 me/100g, 3.7 me/100g and 2.1 me/100g, respectively, and they also showed a tendency to decrease with time. In contrast, they were not changed with time at the unburned areas. At the burned area of Samsinbong, soil microorganism showed to order of fungi (69×10⁴ CFU), actinomycetes (523×10⁴ CFU) and aerobic bacteria (291×10⁴ CFU), and at the unburned area, showed to order of actinomycetes (745×10⁴ CFU), fungi (594×10⁴ CFUU), and aerobic bacteria (160×10/sup 4/ CFU). At the burned area of Mt. Chocdae, soil microorganism showed to order of fungi (676×10⁴ CFU), actinomycetes (434×10⁴ CFU) and aerobic bacteria (350×10⁴ CFU), and at the unburned area, showed to order of fungi (461 ×10⁴ CFU), aerobic bacteria (328×10⁴ CFU) and actinomycetes (319×10⁴ CFU). Soil microorganisms of the aerobic bacteria, actinomycetes and fungi appeared at the burned areas were much more abundant than unburned areas. The aerobic bacteria appeared at the coniferous forest were also much more than the broad-leaved forest. The actinomycetes and fungi appeared at the broad-leaved forest were much more abundant than the coniferous forest.
침엽수림과 활엽수림의 산불지역에서 토양환경의 회복과정을 살펴보기 위해, 산불발생 후 시간이 경과함에 따른 토양화학적 성질과 토양미생물 변화를 조사하였다. 활엽수림인 삼신봉 지역 산화지에서의 산불직후 토양의 화학적 성질은 pH 5.8, 유기물량 7.42%, 전질소량 0.37%, 유효인산량 28.5 mg/kg, 치환성양이온인 $K^{＋}$이 1.3 me/100g, $Ca^{＋＋}$이 13.3 me/100g, $Mg^{＋＋}$이 2.2 me/100g로 나타났으나 시간이 경과할수록 감소하는 경향이었으며, 비산화지에서는 시간 경과에 따른 변화폭이 적었다. 침엽수림인 촛대산 산불지역에서 산불직후 토양의 화학적 성질은 pH 5.3, 유기물량 6.42%, 전질소량 0.25%, 유효인산량 24.4 mg/kg, 치환성양이온인 $K^{＋}$이 0.7 me/100g, $Ca^{＋＋}$이 3.7 me/100g, $Mg^{＋＋}$이 2.1 me/100g로 각각 나타났으며, 시간이 경과할수록 역시 감소하는 경향 이었다. 활엽수림 인 삼신봉 산불지역의 토양미생물은 호기성균 291$\times$$10^4$ CFU균, 방선균 523$\times$$10^4$ CFU균, 진균 691$\times$$10^4$ CFU균으로 진균의 개체수가 비교적 높게 나타났으며, 비산불지역에서는 호기성균 160$\times$$10^4$ CFU균, 방선균 745$\times$$10^4$ CFU균, 진균 594$\times$$10^4$ CFU균으로 방선균의 개체수가 높게 나타났다. 침엽수림인 촛대산 산불지역에서는 호기성균 350$\times$$10^4$ CFU균, 방선균 434$\times$$10^4$ CFU균, 진균 676$\times$$10^4$ CFU균으로 진균의 개체수가 비교적 높게 나타났으며, 비산불지역에서는 호기성균 328$\times$$10^4$ CFU균, 방선균 319$\times$$10^4$ CFU균, 진균 461$\times$$10^4$ CFU균으로 진균의 개체수가 높게 나타났다. 토양미생물은 호기성균, 방선균, 진균 모두 비산불지역 보다 산불지역에서 많이 나타났다. 본 조사지역에서 호기성균은 활엽수림보다 침엽수림에서 많게 나타났으며, 방선균과 진균은 침엽수림보다 활엽수림에서 많이 나타났다.
