Abstract

Korean paddy soils have long been almost uniformly managed throughout the whole country with flooded, deep tillage, puddlling, transplanting, and uncovering after harvest. Management of soil organic carbon could be more important in the sources of green house gases. However, soil organic carbon dynamics were not been studied for Korean paddy soils. Therefore, we evaluated the changes in soil organic carbon (SOC) of paddy soils between 1999 and 2003 at the same locations nationwide except islands. Soil organic carbon tends to increase in Inceptisols, which is predominant soil order for Korean paddy soils, from 1999 to 2003. Soil organic carbon increases in topographically plain paddy soils was greater than in valley soils, and was considerably high in predominant types of paddy soils (i.e., well adapted paddy soils, sandy paddy soils, and poorly drained paddy soils) but low and stable in the saline paddy soils. We also found that clay paddy soils are greater in soil organic carbon than sandy paddy soils. Through this study, we concluded that a proper management of paddy soils could contribute to soil organic carbon storage, which imply that the Korean paddy soils could help to enhance carbon dioxide sequestration via soil organic matter into the soil.

지구온난화, 기후변화 및 온실가스 배출 및 저감기술에 관한 많은 연구가 수행되고 있으나, 토양 내 유기탄소의 축적을 통한 온실가스 배출억제에 대한 연구는 매우 미진하며, 특별히 우리나라 농경지의 주요 이용형태인 논토양에 대해서는 유기탄소의 축적량 산정을 포함한 변동 등에 대한 연구가 매우 미흡하다. 본 연구에서는 도서를 제외한 우리나라 전국적인 논 토양 유기탄소의 연차별 모니터링을 통하여 토양에서 유기탄소의 연차간 변동을 평가하였으며 토양의 생성학적, 물리적 특성에 따라 토양유기탄소의 변화에 대한 해석을 시도하였다. 연구결과, 토양 생성분류학적으로 우리나라의 주된 논토양인 Inceptisol 에서 토양유기탄소량이 1999년에 비하여 2003년에 증가하는 경향이었던 것으로 나타났으며, 논의 이용형태별로는 염해답이나 미숙답에서 보다 보통답, 사질답, 배수불량답에서 토양유기탄소가 증가하는 것으로 나타났다. 표토의 토성별로 양토에서 보다 미사 식양토 및 미사양토에서 유기탄소의 증가가 높게 나타났다. 지형적으로는 곡간지에서 보다 평탄지에서 토양유기탄소의 증가율이 높게 나타났다. 결론적으로, 본 연구의 결과를 통하여, 1999년 이후 논토양에서 토양유기탄소의 양이 증가하는 경향을 나타내고 있으며 ($+0.11g\;kg^{-1}yr^{-1}$) 이는 대기중의 이산화탄소를, 논 토양의 유기탄소 축적기능을 통해, 토양 중에 저장함으로써 논토양이 온실가스 흡수원으로서의 역할을 하는 것으로 해석할 수 있다.
