The present study was conducted to quantify wood and leaf litter decomposition and nutrient release of a dominant tree species, Tectona grandis Linn. F. in a tropical dry deciduous forest of Rajasthan, Western India. The mean relative decomposition rate was maximum in the wet summer and minimum during dry summer. Rainfall and its associated variables exhibited greater control over litter decomposition than temperature. The concentrations of N and P increased in decomposing litter with increasing retrieval days. Mass loss was negatively correlated with N and P concentrations. The monthly weight loss was significantly correlated (P < 0.05) with soil moisture and rainfall in both wood and leaf litter. Tectona grandis was found to be most suitable tree species for plantation programmes in dry tropical regions as it has high litter deposition and decomposition rates and thus it has advantages in degraded soil restoration and sustainable land management.

This study was conducted to measure litterfall and nutrient (P, K, Ca, Mg) inputs under varying degrees of disturbance by pine wilt disease in pine forests in southern Korea. Litterfall was collected to evaluate nutrient responses at different intensities of disturbance (various levels of basal area) by pine wilt disease across 2 years. Phosphorus, Ca, and Mg concentrations in needle litterfall were positively correlated (p < 0.05) with decreased disturbance intensities (increased basal area) depending on the time of sampling, whereas the nutrient concentrations in other litterfall components (branches, bark, reproductive organs, and miscellaneous litterfall) were not significantly correlated (p > 0.05) with the intensity of pine wilt disease disturbance. Dry weight and nutrient inputs through litterfall components decreased linearly with increasing intensity of disturbance by pine wilt disease (p < 0.05), except for the nutrient inputs of branch (K, Ca, Mg) and reproductive organ (K, Ca) litterfall. These results indicate that decreased litterfall across different levels of disturbance may be related to the reduced soil nutrients in pine wilt disease forests.

Batch experiments were performed to determine optimum conditions for biopile. The batch experiments results showed that 12.5 to 17.9% of moisture content was effective to biodegradation of petroleum hydrocarbon regardless of soil texture. Total heterotrophic bacteria populations in the inoculum-treated soil were greater than of the control and nutrient-amended soil in the early stage, but the populations in the inoculum and nutrient-amended soil were not different significantly from those in the latter stage regardless of soil texture. The same trend was observed for petroleum hydrocarbon degrading bacteria populations. The results of the biodegradation capacity experiments showed that there was a decline in the TPH concentrations during the experiments and no significant difference on the biodegradation was observed by treatment in silt soil. Changes of n-C17/pristane and n-C18/phytane ratios in all treated soil were significantly more than those of control. This is a strong indication of biodegradation. The TPH removal rate was calculated at 60% in all treated soil.

본 연구는 토양 칼럼에 벼를 재배하면서 바이오차 팰렛처리에 따른 침출 수 및 토양 중의 작물 양분 이동 동태를 구명하기 위해 수행하였다. 칼럼 실험을 위한 시험구 처리는 돈분퇴비처리구를 대조구, 100% 돈분퇴비 팰렛구, 바이오차 팰렛 그리고 완효성비료 처리구로 구성되어있다. 연구 결과로서, 침출수 중의 $NH_4-N$의 농도는 이양후 35일을 정점으로 점차적으로 감소하였으며, $NO_3-N$의 농도는 이양 후 63-98일 사이에 가장 높게 관측 되었다. 침출수 중의 돈분 팰렛 및 바이오차 팰렛 처리구에서 $PO_4-P$의 농도가 가장 낮게 나타났다. 침출수 중의 K의 함량이 대조구에서 가장 높게 보인 반면, 완효성비료 처리구에서 가장 낮게 나타났다. 토양의 깊이별 $NH_4-N$의 농도는 40-60cm사이가 가장 높게 났으며, 돈분 팰렛 처리구를 제외하고 처리구 간에 유의차가 없었다. 또한 토양 깊이가 깊을수록 $NH_4-N$의 농도가 높게 관측 되었다. 반면에 $PO_4-P$의 농도는 완효성비료 처리구를 제외하고 토양깊이가 깊을수록 낮게 나타났다. 대조구에서 $PO_4-P$의 농도가 가장 높았다. 토양중의 가리의 이동 패턴은 대조구와 돈분 퇴비 팰렛구, 그리고 바이오차 팰렛구와 완효성처리구가 비슷한 것으로 나타났다. 그러므로 벼 재배 시 바이오차 팰렛을 시용함으로쎄 식물 양분 이동에 의한 손실을 줄일 수 있는 것으로 사료 되다.

The production of high quality seedlings is a very important phase in silvicultural systems for successful reforestation or restoration. The purpose of this study was to measure both growth performances and nutrient responses of Fraxinus rhynchophylla and Pinus densiflora seedlings, which are commercially planted in Korea, according to soil improvement treatments. We applied 8 types of soil improvements: control with no treatment, compost B and compost Y as organic materials, vermiculite, perlite, two level of zeolite, and mix of vermiculite, perlite, and zeolite as inorganic materials in a permanent national nursery. Only compost B treatment significantly increased soil pH, organic matter, total nitrogen, available phosphorus, exchangeable potassium and calcium at the 0-10 cm soil depth. The growth of F. rhynchophylla and P. densiflora was the highest at the compost B treatment and the lowest at the vermiculate treatment. Compost B treatment allocated more carbon to aboveground than belowground by 39%, especially to foliage. On the vector diagnosis, there was 'shortage' on compost B treatment because of all increases of N contents, N concentrations, and growth and 'over accumulation' on vermiculite treatment because of more N uptake compared with dry weight increase. This study suggested optimal use of soil improvements is very important to improve soil quality in a permanently used nursery.

Acid deposition in forest adjacent to the industrial complexes causes soil acidification resulting in the leaching of cations, decreases of buffering capacity and increases of toxic metal concentrations such as Al, Fe, Mn and Cu in soil solution. Changes of nutrient availability equilibria by acid deposition have been known to retard the growth of pine trees. Objective of this research was to assess the critical ratios of Ca/Al and Mg/Al limiting the growth of Pinus thunbergii in the hydroponic culture. The Ca concentration and Ca/Al ratio in stalks of pine tree were increased as increasing Ca/Al molar ratio in the nutrient solution, but were not changed when the Ca/Al molar ratio was adjusted to greater than 1. Growth of Pinus thunbergii was inhibited at the Ca/Al molar ratio lower than l due to the Ca deficiency. The molar ratios of Ca/Al in the needles of Pinus thunbergii showed the similar tendency with the stalks. This indicated that Ca/Al molar ratio of 1 in the growth media was the critical level limiting the growth of Pinus thunbergii. Concentration of Mg and Mg/Al molar ratios in the stalks of pine tree were increased as increasing Mg/Al molar ratio in nutrient solution. Molar ratios of Mg/Al in the needles were increased as increasing Mg/Al ratios in nutrient solution up to 0.83, which was the critical level limiting the growth of Pinus thunbergii.

The effect of nutrient availability and forest type on the nutrient turnover of fine roots is important in terrestrial nutrient cycling, but it is poorly understood. I measured nutrient turnover of hardwoods and softwoods at three well studied sites in the northeastern US: Sleepers River, VT; Hubbard Brook, NH; Cone Pond, NH. Significant differences in nutrient turnover by fine roots were observed among sites, but not between forest types. The magnitude of differences for each element ranged from 3 times for P and N to 8 times for Ca and Mg between sites. Smaller differences of 0.2 to 0.8 times were observed between forest types. In hardwoods, the Sleepers River 'new' site had $23kg\;ha^{-1}\;yr^{-1}$ Ca, $7kg\;ha^{-1}\;yr^{-1}$ Mg, and $16kg\;ha^{-1}\;yr^{-1}$ K turnover, owing to high root nutrient contents and turnover. Cone Pond had the highest turnover for Mn ($0.8kg\;ha^{-1}\;yr^{-1}$) and Al ($16kg\;ha^{-1}\;yr^{-1}$), owing to high nutrient contents. The Hubbard Brook hardwood site exhibited the lowest turnover of these elements. In softwoods, the variation in turnover of Ca, Mg, and K was lower than in hardwoods. The Hubbard Brook had the highest turnover for P ($1.6kg\;ha^{-1}\;yr^{-1}$), N ($31kg\;ha^{-1}\;yr^{-1}$), Mn ($0.4kg\;ha^{-1}\;yr^{-1}$), Al ($10kg\;ha^{-1}\;yr^{-1}$), Fe ($6.4kg\;ha^{-1}\;yr^{-1}$), Zn ($0.3kg\;ha^{-1}\;yr^{-1}$), Cu ($34g\;ha^{-1}\;yr^{-1}$), and C ($1.1Mg\;ha^{-1}\;yr^{-1}$). Root Ca turnover exponentially increased as soil percentage Ca saturation increased because of greater root nutrient contents and more rapid turnover at the higher Ca sites. These results imply that nutrient inputs by root turnover significantly increase as soil Ca availability improves in temperate forest ecosystems.

본 연구는 경기도 양평지역 내 서로 인접하여 있고 동일한 입지환경 위에 생육하고 있는 41년생 리기다소나무와 낙엽송 조림지를 대상으로 질소와 인 시비처리가 리기다소나무와 낙엽송 침엽 및 소지에서의 부위별 양분의 계절적 변화 및 양분 재분배에 미치는 영향을 구명하기 위하여 수행되었다. 엽내 질소와 인 농도는 낙엽송이 리기다소나무 당년생과 1년생 엽보다 모두 높은 것으로 나타났다. 또한 두 수종 모두 질소와 인 농도는 소지보다 침엽에서 더 높았던 것으로 나타났으나 엽령 증가에 따른 침엽과 소지에서의 질소와 인 농도의 차이는 나타나지 않았다. 엽과 소지에서의 질소와 인 농도의 계절적인 차이는 두 수종 모두 통계적으로 유의성이 인정되었다. 두 수종의 침엽내 양분의 농도는 임목 생장기에 농도가 가장 높았고 가을철엔 가장 낮아진 반면, 소지내 양분농도는 7월 이후 점차적으로 증가되는 경향을 나타내었다 이러한 계절적 경향은 두 수종 모두 가을철 낙엽기에 침엽으로부터 소지로 양분이 이동되어 축적되는 현상을 나타내는 양분의 재분배현상에 기인하는 것으로 판단된다. 그러나 수종별로 양분 이용효율을 나타낼 수 있는 양분 재분배율은 본 연구 결과만으로 보면 상록성 침엽수인 리기다소나무와 낙엽성 침엽수인 낙엽송간에 차이가 없어 잎의 행태와 양분이용효율간의 관계를 단정하기는 어려웠다. 또한 시비처리 후 침엽과 소지의 양분 재분배율 변화도 일정 한 경향을 나타내지 않아 임지의 비옥도와 양분 재분배율의 관계가 명확하지 않았다.
