Abstract

This study was conducted to develope allometric equations and to estimate biomass, stem density, and biomass expansion factor for the three stand age classes (I-II, III-IV, and V-VI) of Japanese larch (Larix leptolepis) in Gapyeong area. Total dry weight (kg/tree) and aboveground biomass (ton/ha) were 57.8 and 71.1 for I-II class, 185.4 and 195.6 for III-IV class, and 1047.9 and 180.6 for V-VI class, respectively. Total above and belowground biomass (ton/ha) was 96.3 for I-II class, 265.7 for III-IV class, and 244.5 for V-VI class. The proportion (%) of stem to total biomass increased with stand age class and was 53.9 for I-II class, 55.7 for III-IV class, and 57.7 for V-VI class, respectively, while that of foliage decreased and was 7.1 for I-II class, 4.5 for III-IV class, 2.3 for V-VI class. Ratios of root to aboveground biomass were 0.35 for all age classes. Stem density ($g/cm^3$) differed between I-II class and III-VI class. Aboveground and total biomass expansion factors were 1.31-1.44 and 1.26-1.94. Our results showed that differences in stand density with stand age classes might influence allometric equation, stem density and ratios of aboveground biomass to stem biomass and total biomass to stem biomass (biomass expansion factors).

본 연구는 경기도 가평군 일대의 낙엽송 임분 3개 영급 단위(1-2영급, 3-4영급, 5-6영급)에서 바이오매스 추정식을 개발하고 이를 바탕으로 바이오매스, 줄기 밀도, 바이오매스 확장계수를 추정한 것이다. 1-2영급, 3-4영급, 5-6영급에서 낙엽송 개체목의 평균 건중량(kg/tree)은 각각 57.8, 185.4, 1047.9, 지상부 바이오매스(ton/ha)는 71.1, 195.6, 180.6, 임목 전체 바이오매스(ton/ha)는 96.3, 265.7, 244.5 등으로 나타났다. 영급 단위가 증가함에 따라 줄기의 구성비(%)는 53.9, 55.7, 57.7 등으로 증가하였지만 잎의 구성비는 7.1, 4.5, 2.3 등으로 감소하였다. 뿌리와 지상부의 건중량 비는 모든 영급 단위에서 0.35로 나타났다. 줄기 밀도($g/cm^3$)는 영급 단위별로 각각 0.39, 0.48, 0.50 등으로 나타났고, 1-2영급과 3영급 이상 간에 차이를 보였다. 지상부 바이오매스 확장계수와 임목 전체 바이오매스 확장계수의 범위는 각각 1.31-1.44, 1.26-1.94 등으로 나타났다. 본 연구 결과 영급 단위에 따른 임분 밀도 차이가 바이오매스 추정 회귀식과 줄기 밀도 및 바이오매스 확장계수에 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다.
