Abstract

The environmental change of Yong-nup in Mt. Dae-Am, which is located at the northern part of Kangwon-Do, Korea, was assesed with peat sedimentary carbon and nitrogen isotope analysis. The surface layer of the peat (0 ${\sim}$ 5 cm) was 190 year BP, and the middle layers (30 ${\sim}$ 35 cm and 50 ${\sim}$ 55 cm) were 870 year BP and 1900 year BP, respectively. Bulk sedimentation rate was estimated to be about 0.4 mm $year^{-1}$ for 0 cm to 30 cm and 0.15 mm $year^{-1}$ for 35 cm to 50 cm. The $^{14}C$ age of the bottom sediment (75 ${\sim}$ 80 cm) collected and measured in this study was about 1900 year BP, although it was measured that the $^{14}C$ of the lowest bottom sediment in Yong-nup was 4105 ${\pm}$ 175 year BP (GX-23200). Since the $^{14}C$ ages for 50 ${\sim}$ 55 cm and 75 ${\sim}$ 80 cm layers were almost the same as 1890 ${\pm}$ 80 fear BP (NUTA 5364) and 1850 ${\pm}$ 90 year BP (NUTA 5462), respectively, we have estimated that the deep layers (55 ${\sim}$ 80 cm) in the high moor were the original forest soil. The low organic C and N contents in the deeper layers supported the inference. The sediment of 50 ${\sim}$ 55 cm layer contains much sandy material and showed very low organic content, suggesting the erosion (flooding) from the surrounding area. In this context, the Yong-nup, high moor, of Mt. Dae-Am, might have developed to the sampling site at about 1900 year BP. The ${\delta}^{13}C$ values of organic carbon and the ${\delta}^{15}N$ values of total nitrogen in the peat sediments fluctuated with the depths. The profile of ${\delta}^{13}C$ may indicate that the Yong-nup of Mt. Dae-Am have experienced the dry-wet and cool-warm period cycles during the development of the high moor. The ${\delta}^{15}N$ may indicate that the nitrogen cycling in the Yong-nup have changed from the closed (regeneration depending) system to the open (rain $NO_3\;^-$ and $N_2$ fixation depending) system during the development of the high moor.

강원도 양구군과 인제군의 경계에 있는 대암산 용늪의 이탄 퇴적물을 사용하여 탄소 및 질소 동위원소비의 해석을 통하여 용늪의 환경변천의 해석을 시도하였다. 표층 0 ${\sim}$ 5 cm의 연대는 BP190년, 30 ${\sim}$ 35 cm층 및 50 ${\sim}$ 55 cm층에서는 각각 BP870, BP1870년으로 측정되었다. 유기물 함량이 높은 0 ${\sim}$ 35 cm의 이탄층에서 bulk의 퇴적속도는 약 0.4mm/년으로 계산되었다. 금번 시료를 채취한 지점의 퇴적물 최하층인 75 ${\sim}$ 80 cm층의 $^{14}C$연대는 약 BP1900년으로 측정되었고 50 ${\sim}$ 55 cm와 75 ${\sim}$ 80cm층의 측정연대가 거의 비슷한 것으로 보아서 용늪의 심층부는 원래의 삼림 토양인 것으로 판단되었다. 50 ${\sim}$ 55 cm층은 모래 성분이 포함되어 있고 또한 유기물 함량이 낮은 것으로 보아 주변 지역의 침식으로부터 유래되었을 가능성이 있다고 판단되었다. 이상의 결과로부터 본 연구에서 이용한 시료의 채취 지점에서는 BP1900년 경부터 습원화가 되었다고 추정된다. 유기탄소 동위원소비, 총 질소동위원소비는 깊이 방향으로 변동이 보였다. 이러한 사실로부터 대암산 고층습원의 발달과정에 있어서 기후조건의 변동과 함께 질소순환계의 변화도 있었던 것으로 추론 되었다.
