Abstract

This study focused on the selection of appropriate plant species of VFS (vegetative fiter strips) and the assessment of VFS effects for reducing NPS (non-point source) pollution from uplands. The experimental field was constructed with 1 control and 6 treated plots in the upland area of $1,500m^2$ with 5% slope which is located in Gunwi-gun, Gyeongbuk province. Six vegetation including Chufa, Common crabgrass, Barnyard grass, Turf grass, Tall fescue, Kenturky bluegrass, were applied to install VFS systems during the study period from June 2011 to Dec. 2012. The results of this study showed that 6.1~77.8% in runoff and 15.6~90.3% in TS, 49.9~96.6% in T-P, and 6.7~91.1% in T-N were reduced from the VFS treated plots. Generally high reduction effects were observed from TS, T-P, T-N, and SS, while BOD, TOC, and $NO_3^-$ showed low reductions. The best vegetation type was Turf grass showing higher reduction effects of NPS pollutions and having relatively easier maintenance efforts compared to other vegetations selected in this study. Based on these results, VFS technique found to be an effective management practice for reducing agricultural NPS pollutions in Korean upland conditions. Further study needs to be performed through various field experiments with long term monitoring in order to develop a design manual of VFS system for practical applications.

본 연구는 밭경지 현장실험을 통해 다양한 초생대 초종을 적용하여 밭의 비점오염저감효과 분석 및 초생대에 적용 가능한 적합한 초종을 선정하고자 하였다. 경북 군위군에 위치한 면적 $1,500m^2$, 경사 5%의 밭경지를 선정하여 시험포를 조성하였으며, 시험포내에는 대조구 1개와 초생대 처리구 6개로 구성된 총 7개의 시험구를 조성하였다. 츄파, 피, 바랭이, 잔디, 톨페스큐, 켄터키블루그라스를 포함하는 6개의 초종을 선정하여 초생대 실험을 수행하였다. 현장실험 결과 대조구 대비 초생대의 유출저감효과는 6.1~77.8%였으며, 비점오염저감효과는 TS의 경우 15.6~90.3%, T-P의 경우 49.9~96.6%, T-N의 경우 6.7~91.1%를 나타내었다. 전체 오염인자 중에 초생대로 인해 전반적으로 높은 비점오염저감 효과를 나타낸 것은 TS, T-P, T-N, SS인 반면, BOD, TOC와 $NO_3^-$는 낮은 저감효과를 보였다. 비점오염저감 및 유지관리측면에서 가장 유리한 초생대 초종은 잔디로 평가되었다. 본 연구결과를 통해 우리나라 농촌지역 밭 비점오염저감을 위한 관리기법으로 초생대가 효과적으로 활용가능하리라 사료되며, 보다 장기적이고 다각적인 현장실험을 통해 초생대 현장적용을 위한 설계 지침서 개발이 요구된다.
