Abstract
This study was conducted to investigate impacts of soil properties on microbial distribution in Jeonbuk orchard fields. Soil samples were collected from 110 sites cultivated with different fruit plants. The population of aerobic bacteria and fungi and the content of soil microbial biomass carbon (C) were found to increase with increasing silt content in the soils. Different activity of dehydrogenase was not observed among the different textures of soil. Microbial distribution, amount of microbial biomass C, and dehydrogenase activity in the soils were not significantly different among the topographic sites. However, in pear and grape fruit plant fields, coliform group of bacteria was found in relatively higher population, $133.0{\times}10^3\;CFU\;g^{-1}$ and $107.4{\times}10^3\;CFU\;g^{-1}$, respectively. Microbial groups were simplified and their density was reduced with increasing the cultivation periods of fruit plants. The soil microbial distribution was proportionally correlated with some of soil properties such as soil pH, soil organic matter (SOM) content, and exchangeable Mg content; in particular, the population of Bacillus sp. was proportionally correlated with soil pH and exchangeable Mg content. The amounts of microbial biomass C and the dehydrogenase activity in the soils were significantly correlated with the contents of SOM and exchangeable Ca ion (p<0.01).
전북지역 과수원 토양 110개소를 대상으로 토양특성이 미생물분포에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. 토양 중 미사함량이 많아질수록 호기성세균, 곰팡이, 미생물 biomass C 함량은 증가하였고, 탈수소효소 활성은 토성에 따라 차이가 없었다. 지형에 따른 미생물분포, 미생물의 biomass C 함량, 탈수소효소 활성은 차이가 없었고, 과수종류에 따라 coliform group은 배와 포도 재배지에서 각각 $133.0{\times}10^3\;CFU\;g^{-1}$, $107.4{\times}10^3\;CFU\;g^{-1}$으로 가장 높은 수준을 보였다. 과수재배기간이 길어질수록 미생물 밀도는 감소하는 것으로 나타났다. 토양 pH, 유기물, 치환성 Mg 함량은 모든 미생물분포와 정의 상관관계를 보였고, Bacillus sp.는 조사한 모든 화학성분과 정의 관계를 보였다. 토양미생물의 biomass C 함량과 탈수소효소 활성은 유기물과 치환성 Ca 함량에 대해 고도의 유의성 (p<0.01)을 보였다.
