Abstract

Litter production, nutrient concentration of each component of litterfall and amount of nutrients input to forest floor via litterfall were investigated for three years from May 2005 through April 2008 in Pinus densiflora forest at Mt. Worak National Park. Amount of litterfall in 2005, 2006, 2007 were 3.070, 3.066, 3.099 ton $ha^{-1}yr^{-1}$, respectively. Average amount of litterfall for three years was $3.078{\pm}0.018\;ton\;ha^{-1}yr^{-1}$. Average percentage of leaf litter, branch and bark, reproductive organ and the miscellaneous for three years were 61.9, 10.4, 5.2, 22.5%, respectively. Average amount of N, P, K, Ca and Mg returned to forest floor via litterfall for three years in this P. densiflora forest were 18.014, 0.878, 4.240, 7.349 and 2.172 kg $ha^{-1}yr^{-1}$, respectively.

월악산 국립공원 내의 소나무군락에서 2005년 5월부터 2008년 4월까지 3년 동안 월별 낙엽의 생산량과 낙엽을 통해 임상에 이입되는 영양염류의 양을 조사하였다. 2005, 2006, 2007년의 낙엽생산량은 각각 3.070, 3.066, 3.099 ton $ha^{-1}yr^{-1}$이었으며, 3년 동안의 평균 낙엽생산량은 $3.078{\pm}0.018\;ton\;ha^{-1}yr^{-1}$이었다. 낙엽 구성원 중 침엽, 가지 및 수피, 생식기관 그리고 기타가 차지하는 비율은 각각 61.9, 10.4, 5.2, 22.5%으로 침엽이 차지하는 비율이 가장 컷다. 조사지소에서 3년 동안 낙엽을 통해 임상에 이입되는 질소, 인, 칼륨, 칼슘 그리고 마그네슘의 평균 양은 18.014, 0.878, 4.240, 7.349 그리고 2.172 kg $ha^{-1}yr^{-1}$이었다.
