Abstract

This study was carried out to suitable plantation site from comparison and analysis of regional early growth characteristics of planted Larix kaempferi trees in harvested L. kaempferi plantations. Two-year-old bare-root seedlings of L. kaempferi were planted with the density of $3000\;seedlings\;ha^{-1}$ at four sites (Yeongju, Gimcheon, Chuncheon, and Inje). All sites were established with three plots ($400m^2$ per plot) in 2010. We analyzed soil physical and chemical properties in October 2010 and 2013. We measured root collar diameter (RCD) and height of trees in October from 2010 to 2014, and then calculated H/D ratio and stem volume. Soil pH was significantly increased and available P was significantly decreased 3 years after planting. Annual mean RCD, height, and stem volume of 5-to 7-year-old in the Chuncheon site were significantly higher than those in the other sites, however them in the Yeongju site were the lowest. It is related to the fact that total nitrogen, available phosphorus, and organic matter concentrations in the Yeongju site were relatively lower than those in the other sites. As a results of this study, we could confirm the correlation between soil properties of L. kaempferi plantations and growth of L. kaempferi trees. We could suggest values of soil properties for reforestation of L. kaempferi.

본 연구는 낙엽송림 벌채 후 동일 수종인 낙엽송을 재조림하여 지역별 조림목의 생장을 비교 및 분석함으로써 낙엽송 조림목의 초기 생장 특성을 구명하고자 수행되었다. 조사지는 영주, 김천, 춘천, 인제이고, 낙엽송 노지묘(1-1)를 3000 본 $ha^{-1}$ 밀도로 식재하였다. 2010년과 2013년에 조림지 토양 특성 분석과 2010년부터 2014년까지 낙엽송 조림목의 근원경과 수고를 측정하여 H/D율과 수간 재적을 계산하였다. 낙엽송 식재 후 3년의 시간이 경과한 다음 pH는 유의하게 증가하였고, 유효인산 농도는 유의하게 감소하였다. 낙엽송 조림목이 5~7년생일 때 근원경, 수고 및 수간 재적 모두 매년 춘천 조사지에서 유의하게 가장 높았으며, 영주 조사지에서 가장 낮았다. 이는 영주 조사지 내 토양 전질소, 유효인산, 유기물 농도가 다른 조사지보다 상대적으로 낮았기 때문으로 판단된다. 본 연구 결과로 낙엽송 조림지 내 토양 특성과 조림목의 생장과의 상관을 확인할 수 있었으며, 낙엽송 재조림을 위한 토양 양분 수준을 제시할 수 있을 것이다.
