Abstract

The weathering properties and provenance of loess-paleosol sequence deposited on gravel layer of river terrace in Bongdong-eup, Wangju-gun, Jeonbuk Province are examined using soil analysis, magnetic susceptibility measurement, grain size and element analysis. The Bongdong section consists of, from top to bottom, Layer 1(paleosol), Layer 2(loess), Layer 3(paleosol) and the gravel layer of river terrace. The magnetic susceptibility values show the systematic variations in the sequence and the results of grain size analysis reveal that the sequence was deposited by not fluvial or slope process, but eolian process, and that contains finer materials than the Daecheon loess and Chinese Loess Plateau. Among the results of soil analysis, organic contents indicate systematic variations similar to the magnetic susceptibility. The wet soil colors further reflect the characteristics of the sequence rather than the dry soil colors. Based on the analytical results of major and rare earth elements, the eolian materials contained in the sequence were deposited by the materials originated from the areas where the Chinese Loess Plateau has been originated or the reworked materials from the Chinese Loess Plateau, and after the depositions, the materials experienced the intensive chemical weathering under the humid-warm climatic conditions in the Korean Peninsula.

전라북도 완주군 봉동읍에 위치한 만경강 하안단구 역층 상부에 퇴적되어 있는 뢰스-고토양 연속층을 대상으로 토양분석과 대자율 측정, 입도 및 원소분석을 행하여 퇴적물의 풍화 특성과 기원지를 검토하였다. 봉동단면은 상부에서 하부로 Layer 1(고토양), Layer 2(뢰스), Layer 3(고토양) 그리고 하안단구 역층으로 이루어진다. 대자율은 뢰스층과 고토양층 사이에 뚜렷한 차이를 보이며, 입도분석 결과는 봉동단면이 하천이나 사면이동이 아니라 바람에 의해 운반되었으며, 중국 뢰스고원이나 대천뢰스보다 상당히 세립질임을 보여준다. 토양분석 중 유기물 함량만이 대자율과 유사한 변화를 보이며, 건조 토색보다는 습윤 토색이 뢰스-고토양 연속층의 특성을 보다 잘 반영한다. 주원소 및 희토류 원소 분석 결과, 봉동단면의 뢰스물질은 중국 뢰스고원과 동일한 기원지 또는 재이동된 물질에 의해 형성되었으며, 퇴적 이후에는 고온다습한 우리나라 기후 환경에서 중국 뢰스고원보다 심하게 풍화작용을 받았다.
