Abstract

Factors of universal soil loss equation, USLE, and its revised version, RUSLE for Korean soils were reevaluated to estimate the national scale of soil loss based on digital soil maps. Rainfall erosivity factor, R, of 158 locations of cities and counties were spacially interpolated by the inverse distance weight method. Soil erodibility factor, K, of 1321 soil phases of 390 soil series were calculated using the data of soil survey and agri-environmental quality monitoring. Topographic factor, LS, was estimated using soil map of 1:25,000 scale with soil phase and land use type. Cover management factor, C, of major crops and support practice factor, P, were summarized by analyzing the data of lysimeter and field experiments for 27 years (1975-2001) in the National Institute of Agricultural Science and Technology. R factor varied between 2322 and 6408 MJ mm $ha^{-1}$ $yr^{-1}$ $hr^{-1}$ and the average value was 4276 MJ mm $ha^{-1}$ $yr^{-1}$ $hr^{-1}$. The average K value was evaluated as 0.027 MT hr $MJ^{-1}$ $mm^{-1}$. The highest K factor was found in paddy rice fields, 0.034 MT hr $MJ^{-1}$ $mm^{-1}$, and K factors in upland fields, grassland, and forest were 0.026, 0.019, and 0.020 MT hr $MJ^{-1}$ $mm^{-1}$, respectively. C factors of upland crops ranged from 0.06 to 0.45 and that of grassland was 0.003. P factor varied between 0.01 and 0.85.

국가 전체의 토양유실량을 산정하기 위하여 범용토양유실예측공식 (USLE)과 개정 범용토양유실예측공식(RUSLE)의 각 인자를 재평가하였다. 정 외 (198,B)과 박 외 (2000)의 연구결과를 거리역산가중치법으로 계산하여 전국 150개 시군의 강우유출인자 (R)를 평가하였고, 한국토양총설 (1992), Taxonomical Classification of Korean Soils (2000), 농업환경변동조사사업 보고서 (2003)에 수록되어 있는 정보를 이용하여 390개 토양통, 1321개 토양상에 대한 토양침식성인자 (K)를 산출하였다. 지형인자 (LS)는 1 25,000 토양도를 이용하여 경사도, 경사장, 토지이용에 따른 대표 값을 산정하였으며 식생피복인자 (C)와 침식조절인자 (P)는 지난 27년간 농업과학기술원 토양보전분야의 연구결과를 종합하여 정리하였다 강우유출인자는 시군에 따라 2322-6408 MJ mm $ha^{-1}$ $yr^{-1}$ $hr^{-1}$이었으며 전체평균은 4276 MJ mm ha $yr^{-1}$ $hr^{-1}$이었다. 우리나라의 평균 토양침식성인자는 0.027 MT $r^{-1}$ $MJ^{-1}$ $mm^{-1}$이었으며 강 상류 및 내륙에 위치한 충북. 경북, 강원 등에서 낮았고, 경기, 충남, 전남등에서 높았다 토지이용별로 보면 논이 0.034 MT hr $MJ^{-1}$ $mm^{-1}$로 가장 컸고 밭, 임지, 초지가 각각 0.026, 0.019, 0.020 MT hr $MJ^{-1}$ $mm^{-1}$이었다. 밭의 작물인자는 0.06-0.45였으며 초지는 0.003이었다. 침식조절인자는 토양보전농법에 따라 0.01-0.85로 평가되었다.
