Abstract

This study was conducted to reclassify Asan series based on the second edition of Soil Taxonomy and to discuss the formation of Asan series distributed on the rolling to hilly areas. Morphological properties of typifying pedon of Asan series were investigated and physico-chemical properties were analyzed according to Soil survey laboratory methods manual. The typifying pedon of Asan series has dark yellowish brown (10YR 4/4) gravelly loam Ap horizon (0-18 cm), strong brown (7.5YR 5/6) gravelly clay loam BA horizon (18-30 cm), red (2.5YR 4/6) gravelly clay loam Bt1 horizon (30-52 cm), red (2.5YR 4/8) gravelly clay loam Bt2 horizon (52-98 cm), and red (2.5YR 4/8) gravelly clay loam C horizon (98-160 cm). The typifying pedon has an argillic horizon from a depth of 30 to 98 cm and a base saturation (sum of cations) of less than 35% at 125 cm below the upper boundary of the argillic horizon. It can be classified as Ultisol, not as Inceptisol. It has udic soil moisture regime, and can be classified as Udult. Also that meets the requirements of Typic Hapludults. It has 18-35% clay at the particle-size control section, and has mesic soil temperature regime. Therefore Asan series can be classified as fine loamy, mesic family of Typic Hapludults, not as fine loamy, mesic family of Typic Dystrudepts. Asan series occur on rolling to hilly areas in residual materials derived from granite gneiss, schist, and gneiss rocks. They are developed as Ultisols with clay mineral weathering, translocation of clays to accumulate in an argillic horizon, and leaching of base-forming cations from the profile for relatively long periods under humid and temperate climates in Korea.

Soil Taxonomy 분류체계 변화에 대응하여 구릉지에 널리 분포하는 토양으로 Inceptisols인 Typic Dystrudepts로 분류되고 있는 아산통을 재분류하고, 그 생성을 구명하기 위하여 아산통 대표단면의 형태적 특성을 조사하고, Soil Taxonomy의 표준 분석방법인 Soil survey laboratory methods manual에 따라서 토양을 분석하여 Laboratory data sheets를 작성하였다. A층 (0~18 cm)은 암황갈색 (10YR 4/4)의 자갈이 있는 양토이고, BA층 (18~30 cm)은 진갈색 (7.5YR 5/6)의 자갈이 있는 양토, Bt1층 (30~52 cm)은 적색 (2.5YR 4/6)의 자갈이 있는 식양토, Bt2층 (52~98 cm)은 적색 (2.5YR 4/8)의 자갈이 있는 식양토, C층 (98~160 cm)은 적색 (2.5YR 4/8)의 자갈이 있는 양토이다. 구릉지 잔적층을 모재로 하는 토양으로 주로 임지로 이용되고 있다. udic 토양수분상과 mesic 토양온도상을 보유하며, 배수 양호하다. 아산통은 0~18 cm 깊이에 ochric 감식표층을 보유하고, 30~98 cm 깊이에서 점토집적층인 argillic층을 보유하고 있다. 또한 argillic층 상부경계에서 125 cm 아래 깊이인 155 cm 깊이에서의 염기포화도 (양이온 합)가 7.8%로 35% 미만이다. 따라서 아산통은 Inceptisols이 아니라 Ultisols로 분류되어야 한다. 아산통은 udic 토양수분상을 보유하고 있으므로 Udults로 분류할 수 있으며, Hapludults의 분류기준을 충족시키고 있다. Typic Hapludults의 분류기준을 충족시키고 있으며, 토성속 제어부위에서의 토성속이 식양질이고, 토양온도상이 mesic 온도상이기 때문에 아산통은 Fine Loamy, mesic family of Typic Dystrudepts가 아니라 Fine loamy, mesic family of Typic Hapludults로 재분류되어야 한다. 아산통은 경사가 비교적 완만하여 지형이 안정되어 있는 구릉지에 분포하고 있으므로 침식이 일어나는 것에 비하여 토양수의 하향이동에 따른 점토집적작용과 염기용탈작용이 우선되고 있다. 그 결과 점토집적층인 argillic층을 보유하는 토양으로 생성 발달되었다. 또한 Alfisols과 Ultisols을 구분하는 가장 기본적인 분류기준인 기준깊이에서의 염기포화도 (양이온 합)가 35% 미만으로서 Alfisols이 아니라 강산성 토양인 Ultisols로 발달하였다.
