Abstract

Feces contain nutrients such as nitrogen and phosphate, potassium and research of the impact on the environment from feces is very diverse. However, despite the importance of mammals to environment, studies of mammals into the terrestrial ecosystems are rare. Korean water deer (Hydropotes inermis) is an endemic species of Korea and China, and we conducted on factor of plant growth in relation to feces of Korean water deer depending on land use patterns. The analysis of growth, biomass and C/N ratio of Zea mays, amount of feces and land use patterns are strongly affecting the C/N ratio and growth of the Zea mays. The quantity of the feces also influences the growth of plants instead of the land use patterns. Furthermore, the feces of Korean water deer have a lower C/N ratio than that of other animals' feces. Being the process of composting, it is able to serve a suitable fertilizer for a crop growth. In this study, we investigated the impact of feces into the environment in the terrestrial ecosystems and we were able to provide the basic data to the resources of an efficient scheme of animal feces. Further research is needed to quantify the materials amongst the plant, soil and animal, and to understand the relationship ecosystem.

동물로부터 발생하는 분변은 질소, 인산, 칼리 등의 영양분을 함유하고 있으며, 동물의 분변이 환경에 미치는 영향에 대한 연구는 매우 다양하다. 그러나 육상 생태계의 주요 구성원인 포유류를 대상으로 한 연구는 전무한 실정이다. 그러므로 전 세계적으로 한국과 중국의 토착종이고 우리나라 고유종이며 우리나라 전역에 서식하는 고라니의 분변을 이용하여 각각의 토지 유형별로 고라니의 분변량의 차이가 생육하는 식물의 생장에 미치는 영향에 대한 연구를 수행하였다. 고라니의 분변량과 토양의 차이에 따른 옥수수 개체의 생장량, 생물량, 탄질비를 분석한 결과 고라니의 분변량과 토양의 차이는 식물체의 생장량과 탄질비에 영향을 주는 것으로 나타났으며, 토양의 차이보다 분변량의 차이가 식물체의 생장에 더 큰 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 고라니의 분변은 다른 동물의 분변에 비하여 낮은 탄질비를 가지고 있어 퇴비화의 과정을 거친다면 작물 생육에 적합한 비료의 역할을 할 수 있음을 확인할 수 있었다. 본 연구는 동물의 분변이 육상생태계에 미치는 영향을 알아보고자 하였으며, 동물 분변의 효율적인 자원화 방안을 마련하도록 기초자료를 제공을 함과 동시에 동물 생태계와 토양 그리고 식물체 간의 물질 순환을 정량화 하고 서로의 관계를 파악할 수 있다는 점에서 의의가 있는 연구이다.
