소백산 산정의 동사면과 북서사면에서 천지초원과 환경요소와의 관계를 조사하였다. 토양의 전질소 함량, 치환성 양이온량, 그리고 A층의 두께는 두 사면에서 현저한 차이가 있었다. 조사지역의 초원은 동사면의 광엽초본형과 북서사면의 협엽초목형으로 구분되었으며 전자는 후자에 비하여 초장이 길고 연순생산량이 많았다. 이러한 차이는 겨울동안 바람에 의해 형성된 눈 깊이의 차이와 유의한 관계가 있었다. 이 지역의 초원은 주로 산불, 바람 그리고 산정의 지형적 특성에 의해서 형성된 것으로 해석되었다.

The biomass structure for three major components viz., the dominant grass, Chrysopogon zeylanicus Thw., the 'other grasses' and the'remaining species'and dry matter dynamics for total community were studied over a period of one year in an annual fire influenced subtropical humid grassland community in Western Ghats, India. The biomass of aboveground, belowground and litter compartments were high as in other humid grasslands and generally have positive correlation with rainfall, rainy days and relative humidity with the exception of litter parts. The above and belowground net primary productions (4,561 and 722 g/㎡, respectively) were also higher and were comparable with other humid tropical grasslands. The turnover of organic matter was rapid, Of the total input of 14.47 g/㎡ into the system, about 86.3% was allocated to above ground parts and 13.7% to below ground parts. The total disappearance was 2.56 g/㎡ and it was accounted to be 17.68% of the total output. The net surplus of dry matter (82.32%) in the post fire community indicates that the grassland was maintained in a seral stage. Hence it is suggested that prescribed burning may keep this ecosystem in a highly productive and seral stage.

Comparative study of the biomass productioin and the cyclings of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium was carried out on the east and the northwest facing slope in the montane grassland of Mt. Soback. The maximum productin during the growing season in the east and the northwest slope were 1, 150g/m2.yr, and 755g/m2.yr. in the August, respectively. The positive correlation was appearent between biomass production and A-layer depth of the soil and the correlation coefficient (r=.964) was very significant at 1% level. In the above ground materials, the nutrients contents were high at the early of the growing season but decreased gradually. In roots, however, there are no significant trend throughout the growing season. Total amounts of minerals uptaken by plants during the growing season in the east and the northwest site were 18.20 and 10.66g/m2.yr for N, 0.06 and 0.03g/m2.yr for P, 0.23 and 0.11g/m2.yr for K, respectively. the minerals returned to the soil by litter decomposition and roots decay in the east and the northwest site were 16.19 and 9.62g/m2.yr for N, 0.046 and 0.021g/m2.yr for P, 0.211 and 0.099g/m2.yr for K, respectively. The turnover the rate (absorbed/returned) of the nutrients in the east and the northwest site were 1.13 and 1.14 for N, 1.30 and 1.43 for P, 1.09 and 1.11 for K, and the absorption rates of minerals were 0.39 and 0.29% for N, 3.16 and 1.88% for P, 0.91 and 0.57% for K, respectively.

본 연구에서는 강원도 평창군 대관령면에 위치한 산지초지와 초지의 말단에 조성한 식생여과대(Vegetation Buffer Strip, VBS)에 분포형 유역모델 CAMEL을 적용하였다. 그리고 이를 통해 확보한 매개변수를 초지와 식생여과대로 구분한 다수의 시험격자에 적용하여 다양한 인자들에 의한 식생여과대 오염부하 저감효과를 평가하였다. 시험격자를 이용한 시나리오 모의결과, 식생여과대에서 강우의 직접유출량은 식생여과대 폭이 넓어질수록 감소하는 것으로 나타났으며, 전반적으로 경사가 높을수록 오염물질의 저감효율은 낮아지는 것으로 나타났다. 유사의 경우, 식생여과대 폭에 따른 저감효율은 전반적으로 큰 차이를 보이지 않았다. TOC와 TN의 경우, 시험격자의 경사가 $10^{\circ}$, $20^{\circ}$일 때, 식생여과대 폭에 따른 저감효율은 큰 차이를 보이지 않았으나, 경사가 $30^{\circ}$일 때 식생여과대 폭이 좁을수록 높은 저감효율을 보였다. 반면, TP의 경우, 양토(Loam)에서의 저감효율은 전반적으로 높지만, 사양토(Sandy loam)에서는 경사가 $20^{\circ}$, $30^{\circ}$일 때 식생여과대 폭이 넓을수록 높은 저감효율을 보이는 것으로 분석되었다. 이는 TOC와 TN의 모의결과와는 상반되는 결과로 대부분 입자성 물질로 존재하는 인의 경우 지표면에서의 포착현상으로 인해 길이에 따라 비례적으로 저감효율이 높아지는 경향을 보이는 것으로 사료된다. 본 연구에서 구축한 모델은 향후 비점오염물질의 유출을 효과적으로 저감할 수 있는 식생여과대 조성을 위한 기준 등을 제안하는데 효과적으로 사용될 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

The effects of irregular burning of vegetation by man were studied in relation to composition and productivity in a non-agricultural montane grassland in the Chongsun area, Kangwon-Do, Korea. The floristic composition in all study area includes 38 species. Three of the stations are dominated by Arundinella hirta and one is dominated by Miscanthus sinensis. The standing crop of the first station, which was fired in early spring, 1970, was 358.7g/$m^2$ to 497.5g/$m^2$; that of the second station, fired in late 1969 was 351. 5g/$m^2$; the third station, fired sometime in 1968, had a standing crop of 314.5g/$m^2$ to 397.1/$m^2$; the fourth station, having had no recent fires, had a standing crop of 370.0g/$m^2$ to 448.0g/$m^2$. The daily productivity shows a maximum of 6.03g/$m^2$ in the first station, and a minimum of 0.85g/$m^2$ in the fourth station. The productivity of grassland in the study area is at a maximum during July and August because of much precipitation, and decreases rapidly in the months to follow. The productive structure of the first and fourth stations is shown in Fig. 2 and 3. At the first station the maximum height attained by the plants was 180cm. In the height range of 50cm to 100cm there was a maximum of assimilative organs (5.6g/0.25$m^2$$\times$10cm), while in the height range below 50cm there was a maximum of non-assimilative organs (13.0g/0.25$m^2$$\times$10cm). At the fourth station, which has not been fired recently, the maximum height reached by the plants was commonly below 100cm. The assimilative organs showed a maximum abundance in the height range of 40cm to 50cm (4.5g/0.25$m^2$$\times$10cm). while the non-assimilative organs showed their greated abundance in the height range below 10cm (6.0g/0.25$m^2$$\times$10cm). There was a direct relationship between daily productivity and organic matter, available phosphorous, exchangeable calcium and potassium. It appears that the nutrients provided by the ash created in the firing of the study can be an important factor in the productivity of these grasslands.

Biomass changes, net primary production and transfer dynamics of dry matter in four subtropical humid montane grasslands at Ebbenadu, Korakundah, Thiashola and Wenlockdown in Nilgiri Biosphere Reserve (NBR), the Western Ghats, India, were investigated. Despite the early report of a higher density and dominance of $C_4$ species over $C_3$ species in these grasslands, no functional study of matter production had previously been carried out. Therefore, in order to determine the roles played by these two groups of species, the present study was attempted. The study revealed that the dry matter and net primary production contributed by $C_4$ species were much greater than those of its $C_3$ counterpart in all the grasslands. The turnover rate of aboveground dry matter for both $C_3$ and $C_4$ species was generally rapid, whereas it was slow for belowground parts, and litter components of $C_3$ and $C_4$ species together. In all grasslands, generally about 60% and 10% of the input were channeled to aboveground and belowground parts, respectively, by the $C_4$ species, whereas the $C_3$ species transferred only about 22% and 8% of dry matter to aboveground and belowground parts, respectively. The total disappearance of dry matter was 2.73, 2.10, 3.19, and $1.96\;g\;m^{-2}\;day^{-1}$ in Ebbenadu, Korakundah, Thiashola and Wenlockdown grasslands, which was 48.83%, 44.30%, 54.81%, and 41.09% of the total input, respectively, in these grasslands. This resulted in a considerable surplus dry matter production in all the grasslands studied. This balance sheet of dry matter in community function indicates that all the four studied grasslands were supporting the existing wild animals adequately in terms of pasture supply. The study further revealed that the stronger establishment of $C_4$ species rather than their $C_3$ counterparts, in terms of higher density and dominance, has driven them to play major roles in matter dynamics and system transfer functions in all the four grasslands studied. This fact evidenced that pasture from $C_4$ species for wild animals was determined to be higher in comparison to that of $C_3$ species.
