Abstract

This study examined the change in carbon (C) storage of soil, forest floor and coarse woody debris (CWD) for different thinning intensities in Pinus densiflora stands 4 years after the treatment. Two study stands were located in Jeongseon (Stand 1) and Gwangneung Experiment Forest (Stand 2). Three plots for different thinning intensities based on stand density were established at each stand in 2008; control plot (0%), T20 plot (20%) and T30 plot (30%) in Stand 1 and control plot (0%), T39 plot (39%) and T74 plot (74%) in Stand 2, respectively. The C storage of soil (0-50 cm), forest floor and CWD was measured in 2012. Total C storage of T30 plot ($109.80t{\cdot}C{\cdot}ha^{-1}$) was significantly higher than that of control plot ($86.69t{\cdot}C{\cdot}ha^{-1}$) in Stand 1. In stand 2, total C storage of T74 plot ($97.02t{\cdot}C{\cdot}ha^{-1}$) was significantly higher than that of control plot ($72.04t{\cdot}C{\cdot}ha^{-1}$) and T39 plot ($63.25t{\cdot}C{\cdot}ha^{-1}$). Total C storage of the heaviest thinned plot was the highest in each study stand. Since this study examined initial effects of thinning on C storage of soil, forest floor and CWD, further studies would be necessary to evaluate the long-term effects.

본 연구의 목적은 소나무림을 대상으로 간벌 시행 4년 후, 간벌 강도에 따른 토양, 낙엽층, 고사목의 탄소 저장량 변화를 분석하는 것이다. 이를 위하여 강원도 정선군 소재의 소나무림 연구지 1과 경기도 광릉 시험림 내 소나무림 연구지 2를 대상으로 연구를 수행하였다. 2008년에 임분 밀도를 기준으로 간벌 강도를 달리한 3개의 처리구를 각 연구지에 설치하였다. 연구지 1은 대조구(0%), T20 처리구(20%), T30 처리구(30%)로 설계하였으며, 연구지 2는 대조구(0%), T39 처리구(39%), T74 처리구(74%)로 설계하였다. 그리고 2012년에 0-50 cm 깊이의 토양, 낙엽층, 고사목의 탄소 저장량을 측정하였다. 연구지 1에서 토양, 낙엽층, 고사목의 총 탄소 저장량은 T30 처리구($109.80t{\cdot}C{\cdot}ha^{-1}$)가 대조구($86.69t{\cdot}C{\cdot}ha^{-1}$)에 비해 통계적으로 유의하게 높았으며, 연구지 2의 총 탄소 저장량은 T74 처리구($97.02t{\cdot}C{\cdot}ha^{-1}$)가 대조구($72.04t{\cdot}C{\cdot}ha^{-1}$)와 T39 처리구($63.25t{\cdot}C{\cdot}ha^{-1}$)에 비해 통계적으로 유의하게 높았다. 연구지 1과 연구지 2에서 간벌 강도가 가장 강한 처리구의 총 탄소 저장량이 각각 가장 높게 나타났다. 본 연구는 간벌이 토양, 낙엽층, 고사목 탄소 저장량에 미치는 단기간의 영향을 분석한 것이므로 보다 장기적인 영향을 평가할 수 있는 추가 연구가 필요하다.
