This study was carried out to evaluate soil carbon and nutrient storage of three adjacent coniferous plantations (Larix leptolepis, Pinus densiflora and Pinus rigitaeda) growing on a similar site with a same planting age (42-year old) in the Sambong Exhibition Forests, Hamyang-gun, Gyungsangnam-do. The soil carbon concentration among three plantations was not significantly different in 0∼10cm soil depth, but other two depths (10∼20cm and 20∼30cm) showed higher carbon concentration in P. densiflora plantation than the other two plantations. The exchangeable cation concentrations (Ca and Mg) in 0∼10cm depth were significantly lower in L. leptolepis plantation than in the other two plantations, while nitrogen and phosphorus concentrations were not significantly different among three plantations except for nitrogen at 10∼20cm depth in P. rigitaeda plantation. Soil carbon storage in 0∼20cm depth of three plantations was unaffected by the stand types. Soil nutrient storage was not significantly different at each depth except for nitrogen storage at 10∼20cm depth in P. rigitaeda plantation because of the variation of bulk density and coarse fragment. This result demonstrates that soil carbon and nutrient concentrations among the plantations on a similar soil condition can be altered significantly by tree species effects over 40 years after plantation establishment.

Effect of Nutrient Concentrations, fertigation frequency, and learching percentage on crop growth and nutrient concentrations in root media were evaluated. The treatment of each irrigation with $50 mg.L^{-1}$ of nitrogen in stage 2 and increase to $80 mg.L^{-1}$ nitrogen in stage 3 had the highest crop growth at 34 days after sowing among treatments tested. Feeding with low nutrient concentrations and elevated frequency decreased crop growth. In treatments of each leaching percentage, feeding with low nutrient concentrations and elevated frequency resulted in increased tissue nutrient contents. The less tissue potassium content and higher calcium and magnesium contents were observed in treatment of 50% leach than those in 0% leach. All treatment tested had soil solution pH higher than 6.8. Electrical conductivity in treatments of 50% leach were lower than those of 0% leach. Feeding with low nutrient concentrations and elevated feeding frequency in each leaching percentage resulted in increased electrical conductivity in soil solution of root media. Trends of medium nutrient concentrations were similar to those of electrical conductivity.

In bamboo, the nutrient status of tissues and associated soil is an important indicator of nutrient uptake by various bamboo species. In this study, the nutrient concentrations of leaves, roots, and mineral soil at 0-10 cm depths were examined in three bamboo stands [Phyllostachys bambusoides S ieb. et Zucc, Phyllostachys nigra var. henonis Stapf ex. Rendle, and Phyllostachys pubescens (Mazel) Ohwi] at a broad regional scale in southern Korea. In the three bamboo species, species-specific differences were observed in the carbon (C) and calcium (Ca) concentrations of leaves and in the nitrogen (N) and magnesium (Mg) concentrations of roots. Ca concentrations in leaves were significantly higher in P. bambusoides (11.94 g Ca kg^-1) than in P. pubescens (7.83 g Ca kg^-1), whereas potassium (K) concentrations were lowest in P. bambusoides among the three bamboo species. N concentrations in the roots were significantly lower in P. pubescens (5.23 g N kg^-1) than in P. nigra var. henonis (7.72 g N kg^-1). In contrast to bamboo tissues, soil nutrients, such as total N, organic C, exchangeable Ca²⁺, and Mg²⁺, did not differ significantly among the bamboo species. These results suggest that species-specific practices will be required for nutrient management of bamboo stands because nutrient concentrations vary considerably in the tissues of the three studied species.

Background: As the decomposition of lignocellulosic compounds is a rate-limiting stage in the nutrient mineralization from organic matters, elucidation of the changes in soil enzyme activity can provide insight into the nutrient dynamics and ecosystem functioning. The current study aimed to assess the effect of thinning intensities on soil conditions. Un-thinned control, 20 % thinning, and 30 % thinning treatments were applied to a Larix kaempferi forest, and total carbon and nitrogen, total carbon to total nitrogen ratio, extractable nutrients (inorganic nitrogen, phosphorus, calcium, magnesium, potassium), and enzyme activities (acid phosphatase, ${\beta}$-glucosidase, ${\beta}$-xylosidase, ${\beta}$-glucosaminidase) were investigated. Results: Total carbon and nitrogen concentrations were significantly increased in the 30 % thinning treatment, whereas both the 20 and 30 % thinning treatments did not change total carbon to total nitrogen ratio. Inorganic nitrogen and extractable calcium and magnesium concentrations were significantly increased in the 20 % thinning treatment; however, no significant changes were found for extractable phosphorus and potassium concentrations either in the 20 or the 30 % thinning treatment. However, the applied thinning intensities had no significant influences on acid phosphatase, ${\beta}$-glucosidase, ${\beta}$-xylosidase, and ${\beta}$-glucosaminidase activities. Conclusions: These results indicated that thinning can elevate soil organic matter quantity and nutrient availability, and different thinning intensities may affect extractable soil nutrients inconsistently. The results also demonstrated that such inconsistent patterns in extractable nutrient concentrations after thinning might not be fully explained by the shifts in the enzyme-mediated nutrient mineralization.

Six nutrient cycles involving terrestrial plants are identified and characterized. Plants affect biotic and abiotic cycles through their effects on soil properties. They determine their internal nutritional status and nutrient concentrations in their environment via internal and external cycles. Contributions of organic matter to mycorrhizal, trophic, and detrital mediated external cycles and alterations of nutrient concentrations by plants can promote positive feedbacks leading to increased availability and retention of soil nutrients in open systems. Recognizing alternative cycles through plants leads to a definition of nutrient use efficiency for ecosystems: the ratio of system production to nutrient content of organic matter. A simple graph model to predict changes of nutrient use efficiency during primary succession is then presented.

본 연구에서는 강원도 춘천지역 낙엽활엽수림(굴참나무, 신갈나무)에서의 강우의 이동에 따른 수량, 용존원소 농도 및 물질량 등을 조사하였다. 임외우량에 대한 각 강우량의 비율은 굴참나무임분이 신갈나무임분에 비하여 수관통과우에서 2∼3%, 그 외의 강우에서 10∼15%의 증가량을 나타내고 있었다. 임외우에 비하여 수관통과우에서는 K/sup +/농도가, Ao층통과우에서는 Ca/sup 2+/, Mg/sup 2+/, NO₃/sup -/농도가 현저하게 증가하였는데, 이는 전자의 원소농도에서는 수관으로부터의 용탈, 후자의 원소농도에서는 Ao층으로부터의 용탈 및 질산화 작용에 기인한 것이라 판단된다. 수관통과우, Ao층통과우 및 A, B층토양수에 있어서 원소농도는 수량이 증가함에 따라 감소하는 경향을 보였는데, 특히 K/sup +/, Mg/sup 2+/, Cl/sup -/농도에서 현저하였다. Ao층통과우의 Ca/sup 2+/에서 굴참나무임분이 신갈나무임분에 비하여 1.5배 정도 높은 값을 나타낸 것 이외에는 다른 강우의 물질량에 있어서는 임분 간 뚜렷한 차이는 없었다. 연간 수간류 물질량은 임상으로 도달하는 강우(수관통과우+수간류)물질량의 10% 미만이었는데, 양적인 면으로 보아 물질순환 과정에 있어서 수간류의 비중은 작다고 판단된다.

Soil nutrient management is important to maintain the constant productivity of seedling production in the nursery for successful forest restoration. This study investigated the effects of organic manure and chemical fertilizer application levels on the growth, soil properties, and nutrient concentrations of yellow poplar seedlings. One-year-old yellow poplar seedlings were treated with the combination of 3 level organic manures(0, 5 Mg/ha, 10 Mg/ha; mixture of poultry manure, cattle manure, swine manure, and sawdust) and 3 level nitrogen-phosphorus-potassium(NPK) chemical fertilizers(0, 1x(urea, $30g/m^2$; fused superphosphate, $70g/m^2$; potassium chloride, $15g/m^2$), 2x). Organic manure significantly increased the soil pH and the concentrations of nitrogen, available phosphorous, exchangeable potassium, calcium, and magnesium. In contrast, the NPK chemical fertilizer decreased the soil pH and exchangeable calcium concentration, did not affect the soil concentrations of nitrogen and magnesium, and increased the concentrations of available phosphorous and exchangeable potassium. Both organic manure and NPK chemical fertilizer treatments increased the seedling height, root collar diameter, and dry weight by 39% and 25%, respectively. The treatment with manure 5 Mg/ha and NPK 2x chemical fertilizer mostly increased seedling dry weight by 2.6 times more than that of the control. Compared to the effects of the fertilization treatments on the soil properties, the effects on nutrient concentrations in the leaves were relatively small. These findings indicate that organic manure that was derived from livestock byproducts and sawdust can be utilized with chemical fertilizer to improve seedling production as well as conserving soil quality.

Current methods of evaluating soil contamination by heavy metals rely on analyzing samples for total contents of metals or quantities recovered in various chemical extracting solutions. Results from these approaches provide only an index for evaluation because these methodologies yield values not directly related to bioavailability of soil-borne metals. In addition, even though concentrations of metals may be less than those required to cause toxic effects to biota, they may cause substantial effects on soil chemical parameters that determine soil quality and sustainable productivity. The objective of this research was to characterize effects of Cu or Cd additions on soil solution chemistry of soil quality indices, such as pH, EC, nutrient cation distribution and quantity/intensity relations (buffer capacity). Metals were added at rates ranging from 0 to 400 mg/kg of soil. Soil solution was sequentially extracted from saturated pastes using vacuum. Concentrations of Cu or Cd remaining in soil solutions were very low as compared to those added to the soils, warranting that most of the added metals were recovered as nonavailable (strongly adsorbed) fractions. Adsorption of the added metals released cations into soil solution causing increases of soluble cation contents and thus ionic strength of soil solution. At metal additions of 200~400 mg/kg, EC of soil solution increased to as much as 2~4 dS/m; salinity levels considered high enough to cause detrimental effects on plant production. More divalent cations (Ca+Mg) than monovalent cations (K+Na) were exchanged by Cu or Cd adsorption. The loss of exchangeable nutrient cations decreased long-term nutrient supplying capacity or each soil. At 100 mg/kg or metal loading, the buffering capacity was decreased by 60%. pH of soil solution decreased linearly with increasing metal loading rates, with a decrement of up to 1.3 units at 400 mg Cu/kg addition. Influences of Cu on each of these soil quality parameters were consistently greater than those of Cd. These effects were of a detrimental nature and large enough in most cases to significantly impact soil productivity. It is clear that new protocols are needed for evaluating potential effects of heavy metal loading of soils.

본 연구는 기능성 성분으로 알려져 있는 게르마늄을 '신고' 배 과원에 처리 방법을 달리 했을 때 토양과 엽내 무기성분과 엽 특성에 어떠한 영향을 미치는지에 대해서 2004년에 조사하였다. 게르마늄 처리는 엽면살포, 토양 내 관주, 수간주입, 그리고 앞의 세 가지 처리를 혼용한 복합처리를 포함하였다. 게르마늄 처리는 대조구에 비해 토양 중 질산태질소와 칼륨과 칼슘 농도를 오히려 감소시켰다. 게르마늄 처리는 대조구에 비해 토양 중 게르마늄을 약 50배 이상 증가시켰으며, 엽면적, 엽건물중, 그리고 엽비중을 통계적으로 유의성 있게 증가시켰다. 대조구는 게르마늄 처리구에 비해서 엽내 칼륨농도를 유의성 있게 증가시켰고, 반대로 칼슘은 게르마늄 처리구에서 높은 경향이 나타났다. 엽내 게르마늄은 게르마늄 관주처리를 제외하고 대조구보다 현저히 높게 나타났고, 과실 내 게르마늄은 모든 처리구에서 대조구 보다 높게 나타났다.

본 연구에서는 경기도 광주지역 낙엽활엽수림(굴참나무, 신갈나무)에서의 강우의 이동에 따른 수량, 용존이온 농도 및 물질량 등을 조사하였다. 임외우량에 대한 수관 통과우량, 수간류량의 비을은 각각 $85\%,\;2\~6\%$로 이는 세계 각국 산림의 평균치와 비교하여 수관통과우량은 높으며, 수간류는 낮았다. 임외우량에 대한 Ao층 통과우는 $53\~54\%$를 A층, B층 토양수는 $23\~30\%,\;22\~14\%$를 나타냈다. 임외우에 비해서 단계별 강우의 이동에 따라 pH 및 이온농도가 증가하였는데,수관통과우에서 pH 및 $K^+$, 수간류에서$K^+$, Ao층 토양수에서 $Ca^{2+},\;Mg^{2+}$농도가 현저하게 증가하였으며 pH도 증가하였다. A층과 B층 토양수에서는 $Ca^{2+}$농도가 감소한 것을 제외하고는 뚜렷한 경향이 나타나지 않았다. 이와 갈이, $K^+$의 증가는 주로 수관으로부터의 용탈에 의해서, $Ca^{2+},\;Mg^{2+}$ 등의 농도증가는 Ao층에 있어서 낙엽과 낙지의 분해 및 용탈에 기인하는 것으로 판단된다. $K^+,\;Mg^{2+},\;Cl^-$는 수량 증가에 따라 이온농도가 감소하는 경향을 보였는데 이는 100 mm 미만에서 뚜렷하였다. 연간 양분량은 모든 원소에 있어서 임외우로부터 수관통과우, Ao층 토양수로 이동하는 과정에서 증가하였으나 A충, B층 토양수로 이동하는 과정에서는 감소하는 경향을 보였다. 수간류의 연간 유입 양분량은 임상으로 도달하는 전체 양분량(수관통과우+수간류)의 $10\%$ 미만으로 그 영향은 매우 적었다.
