Effects of Artificial Acid Rain on Seed Germination and Seedling Growth of Several Conifers(1)

인공산성우(人工酸性雨)가 몇 침엽수종(針葉樹種)의 종자발아(種子發芽)와 묘목생장(苗木生長)에 미치는 영향(影響)(1)

Artificial acid rain (pH 3.0, 4.0 and 5.0) was treated on thd seeds of 5 coniferous species to examine its effects on germination and seedling growth. Artificial acid rain was prepared by diluting sulfuric acid with ground water and ground water(pH 6.5) was used as control. Artificial acid rain was sprayed to seeded pots three times per week. About 5mm of artificial acid rain was treated each time from early April to early October, 1990. Germination, seedling establishment and seedling growth were measured and compared among the treatments. The results were summarized as follows ; 1. Germination, seedling establishment rate of Larix leptolepis and Picea koraiensis were highest on the pH 5.0 plot whereeas those of Abies holophylla and Cryptomeria japonica were highest on the control plot, and those of Abies koreana showed the highest value on the pH 3.0 plot. 2. The differences in seedling height growth of Larix leptolepis was signif- icant at 1% level among the treatment levels of acid rain, whereas those of other species were not significant, Height of Larix leptolepis, Abies koreana and Picea koraiensis were highest on the pH 4.0 plot, and that of Abies holuphylla and Cryptomeria japonica were highest on the pH 5.0 plot. 3. Seedling dry weight of Larix leptolepis and Abies holophylla differed significantly at 1% level among the treatments, but those of other species did not differ. Highest seedling dry weight of Larix leptolepis and Abies koreana were observed on the pH 4.0 plot, and that of Abies holophylla and Cryptomeria japonica did on the pH 3.0 plot, and that of Picea koraiensis did on the control plot. 4. With decrease of pH value of artificial acid rain, the number of injured needle and injured individual tended to be increased, obviously. 5. The differences of soil acidity were highly significant among the treatments for all species.

인공산성우처리가 몇 침엽수종의 발아와 묘목생장에 미치는 영향을 알아보고자, 혼합토양을 채운 polt에 5 수종의 종자를 파종하고 황산을 지하수로 묽힌 pH 3.0, 4.0 및 5.0의 인공산성우와 지하수를 주 3회, 매회 5mm씩 1990년 4월 초순부터 10월 초순까지 처리하였으며, 발아율 및 생장을 측정하여 처리간 비교분석한 결과는 다음과 같다. 1. 낙엽송과 종비나무는 pH 5.0 처리구에서, 젓나무와 삼나무는 대조구에서, 구상나무 는 pH 3.0 처리구에서 각각 발아율 및 득묘율이 가장 높았다. 2. 묘고생장에 있어서 낙엽송에서는 처리간 고도의 통계적 유의성이 인정되었으나, 다른 수종들에서는 통계적 유의성이 안정되지 않았다. 낙엽송, 구상나무 및 종비나무는 pH 4.0 처리구에서, 젓나무와 삼나무는 pH 5.0 처리구에서 각각 묘고가 가장 크게 나타났다. 3. 개체당 건중량에서 낙엽송과 젓나무에서는 고도의 통계적 유의성이 인정되었으나, 구상나무, 종비나무 및 삼나무에서는 통계적 유의성이 인정되지 않았다. 낙엽송과 구상나무는 pH 4.0 처리구에서, 젓나무와 삼나무는 pH 3.0 처리구에서, 종비나무는 대조구에서 각각 최대건중량을 보였다. 4. 처리산성우의 pH값이 작아질수로 피해가 나타난 침엽의 수 및 개체수가 증가하는 경향이 뚜렷하였다. 5. 토양산도는 모든 수종에서 처리간 고도의 통계적 유의성이 인정되었다.
