Biomass and Net Primary Production in a Red Pine (Pinus resinosa Ait) Thinned Plantation

Red Pine(Pinus resinosa Ait.) 간벌지(間伐地)의 Biomass와 Net Primary Production(NPP)에 관(關)한 연구(硏究)

Dimension analysis was uesd to estimate biomass and net primary production (NPP) in a 35-year-old red pine (Pinus resinosa Ait.) plantation in central Wisconsin, U. S. A.. Total above ground biomass was estimated at $97.3Mg\;ha^{-1}$. Organic matter was distributed in the red pine stand as follows : bolewood 67.8%, live branches 15.4%, foliage 8.4%, bole bark 6.1%. Net primary production was estimated at $11.5Mg\;ha^{-1}yr^{-1}$ and was distributed : bolewood 30.4%, foliage 25.2%, branches 36.5%, bole bark 2.6%. There were differences in total biomass and proportion of biomass components when using the three equations. These differences are due to : a) difference in bolewood specific gravity and b) the effect of thinning on the form factor.

미국(美國) Wisconsin주(州) Plainfield에 있는 35년생(年生) Red pine(Pinus resinosa Ait.) 간벌조림지(間伐造林地)에서 Biomass와 Net Primary Prodnction (NPP)을 추정(推定)하였다. 지상부(地上部) Biomass는 ha당(當) 97.3ton이었고 이중 수간목부(樹幹木部) Biomass가 67.8%, 지조부(枝條部)가 15.4%, 엽(葉)이 8.4%, 수피(樹皮)가 6.1%를 구성하고 있었다. NPP는 $11.5Mg\;ha^{-1}yr^{-1}$로 추정되었고 그중 수간목부(樹幹木部)는 30.4%, 엽(葉)은 25.2%, 지조(枝條)는 36.5%, 수피(樹皮)가 2.6%이었다. Red pine의 다른 추정공식을 사용하였을때 Biomass에 차이가 있었다. 그차이는 주로 수간목부(樹幹木部)의 비중(比重)과 흉고형수(胸高形數)의 차이로 인한 것이었다.
