Abstract

Valuation of ecosystem services through organic carbon distribution and cycling in the Quercus mongolica forest at Mt. Worak national park were investigated from May 2012 through April 2013. The amount of carbon allocated to above and below ground biomass was 81.94 and 20.53 ton C/ha. Amount of organic carbon in litter layer was 6.49 ton C/ha. Amount of organic carbon within 50 soil depth was 141.23 ton C $ha^{-1}$ $50cm-depth^{-1}$. Total amount of organic carbon in this Quercus mongolica forest was estimated to 250.19 ton C $ha^{-1}$. The estimated amount of won in this Quercus mongolica forest in terms of total organic carbon was about 5.27 million won $ha^{-1}$. The amount of carbon evolved through soil respiration was 7.31 ton C $ha^{-1}yr^{-1}$. The amount of carbon evolved through microbial respiration and root respiration was 3.58 and 3.73 ton C $ha^{-1}yr^{-1}$, respectively. The amount of organic carbon absorbed from the atmosphere of this Quercus mongolica forest was 1.61 ton C $ha^{-1}yr^{-1}$ when estimated from the difference between net primary production and microbial respiration. This amount will come to about 33,000 won $ha^{-1}yr^{-1}$ in Korean currency.

월악산국립공원에 발달되어 있는 신갈나무림에서 2012년 5월부터 2013년 4월까지 유기탄소 분포와 순환을 통한 생태계 서비스 가치를 파악하였다. 지상부와 지하부 생물량에 분포되어 있는 유기탄소량은 각각 81.94 및 20.53 ton C/ha 이었으며, 낙엽층과 토양의 유기탄소량은 각각 6.49 ton C $ha^{-1}$, 141.23 ton C $ha^{-1}$ $50cm-depth^{-1}$로 조사되였다. 조사지 신갈나무림의 전체 유기탄소량은 250.19 ton C $ha^{-1}$이었으며, 이중 41.0%가 식물체에 분포하였다. 신갈나무림의 전체 유기탄소량을 원화로 환산하면 약 527만원 $ha^{-1}$의 가치를 갖는 것으로 추정되었다. 조사기간 동안 토양호흡을 통하여 방출되는 탄소량은 7.31 ton C $ha^{-1}yr^{-1}$으로 이중 미생물호흡과 뿌리호흡을 통해 방출되는 탄소량은 각각 3.58, 3.73 ton C $ha^{-1}yr^{-1}$이었다. 유기탄소 순 생산량과 미생물호흡량의 차이로 추정했을 때 본 신갈나무림에서 연간 대기로부터 흡수하는 순 유기탄소는 1.61 ton C $ha^{-1}yr^{-1}$로서, 이를 원화로 환산하면 약 33,000원 $ha^{-1}$의 가치를 갖는 것으로 추정되었다.
