Abstract

This study was carried out to investigate and analyze the environmental characteristics of restoration areas in the riparian zones of the Han River, and to quantify the amount of topsoil organic carbon storage. As a result of investigation and analysis of 21 survey sites, the total number of species planted was found to be 17, and the mean number of species was $2.86{\pm}0.13$ species per site. At least one species and a maximum of 7 species were planted at each site. The mean diameter at breast height was $9.1{\pm}0.6cm$, the mean height was $6.2{\pm}0.3m$ and the root content in soil was $0.13{\pm}0.18g/cm^2$. As a result of the analysis of the soil characteristics, 6 out of 21 items, such as the bulk density, solid ratio, gravel ratio, soil hardness, sand content, and pH increased as the soil layer deepened. The topsoil organic carbon storage by layer was $11.54{\pm}1.08ton/ha$ at 0-10cm, $8.69{\pm}0.81ton/ha$ at 10-20cm, $7.97{\pm}0.79ton/ha$ at 20-30cm, and the total from 0 to 30cm was $28.21{\pm}7.31ton/ha$. The highest amount of topsoil organic carbon storage by land use in the past was $35.17{\pm}5.31ton/ha$ in agricultural lands, followed by $28.16{\pm}8.31ton/ha$ in residential areas, $21.87{\pm}9.05ton/ha$ in commercial areas, $19.23{\pm}12.48ton/ha$ in industrial areas, and $17.07{\pm}11.33ton/ha$ in the barren areas. The highest amount of topsoil organic carbon storage in the restored areas was $38.46{\pm}3.14ton/ha$ in 2006, followed by $28.57{\pm}7.84ton/ha$ in 2016, and $16.78{\pm}6.06ton/ha$ in 2011. The results of this study are expected to provide a basic database and evaluation criteria for enhancing the carbon abatement effects of the restoration sites in riparian zones in the future.

본 연구는 한강 수변구역에 복원지를 대상으로 환경 특성에 대하여 현황조사 및 분석을 실시하고, 표토 유기탄소 저장량을 정량화하였다. 조사 대상지 21개소를 조사 분석한 결과, 대상지에 식재한 수종 수는 총 17개 수종이었으며, 대상지별로 평균 $2.86{\pm}0.13$종으로서 최소 1개 수종에서 최대 7개 수종이 식재된 것으로 나타났다. 흉고직경은 평균 $9.1{\pm}0.6cm$, 수고는 평균 $6.2{\pm}0.3m$, 뿌리량은 평균 $0.13{\pm}0.18g/cm^3$이었다. 토양특성을 조사 분석한 결과, 총 21개 항목 중 6개 항목인 용적밀도, 고상률, 석력비, 경도, 모래 함량, pH는 층위가 깊어질수록 증가하는 것으로 나타났고, 나머지 입단율, 함수율, 유기물, 전질소 등 15개 항목은 층위가 깊어질수록 감소하는 것으로 나타났다. 층위별 표토 유기탄소 저장량은 0~10cm에서 $11.54{\pm}1.08ton/ha$, 10~20cm는 $8.69{\pm}0.81ton/ha$, 20~30cm가 $7.97{\pm}0.79ton/ha$로서 0~30cm까지의 총 표토 유기탄소 저장량은 $28.21{\pm}7.31ton/ha$로 분석되었다. 과거 토지이용별 표토 유기탄소 저장량은 농경지였던 복원지가 $35.17{\pm}5.31ton/ha$로 가장 높았고, 주거지역 $28.16{\pm}8.31ton/ha$, 상업지역 $21.87{\pm}9.05ton/ha$, 공업지역 $19.23{\pm}12.48ton/ha$, 나지 $17.07{\pm}11.33ton/ha$ 순으로 나타났다. 조성연도별 표토 유기탄소 저장량은 2006년 조성된 복원지역이 $38.46{\pm}3.14ton/ha$로 가장 높았고, 2016년 복원지역 $28.57{\pm}7.84ton/ha$, 2011년 복원지역 $16.78{\pm}6.06ton/ha$ 순으로 분석되었다. 본 연구결과는 향후 수변구역 복원지의 탄소저감 효과 증진을 위한 기초자료 제공 및 평가기준이 될 것으로 기대된다.
