Abstract

Sulfate adsorption in forest soils is a process of sulfur dynamics playing an important role in plant uptake, cation movement, acid neutralization capacity and so on. The relationship between sulfate adsorption and some physicochemical properties of four forest soils was investigated. Extractable sulfate contents and sulfate adsorption capacity (SAC) in the forest soils varied much among study sites. Extractable sulfate contents were more in sub-surface soils with lower organic matter and greater Al and Fe oxides than in surface soils. The average contents of $Al_d$ and $Fe_d$ in the sub-surface soils were 8.49 and $12.45g\;kg^{-1}$, respectively. Soil pH, cation exchange capacity and clay content were positively correlated with the extractable sulfate contents and SAC. Organic carbon content, however, was negatively correlated with the extractable sulfate contents, implying the competitive adsorption of sulfate with soil organic matter. Considerably significant correlation was found between inorganic + amorphous Al and Fe oxides and the sulfate adsorption, but crystalline Al and other fractions of Fe oxide showed no correlation. Relatively close relationship between the adsorbed sulfates and soil pH, cation exchange capacity, or amorphous Al oxides indicates that the accelerated soil acidification may substantially reduce the potential for sulfate adsorption contributing to sulfur flux in forest ecosystems.

산림토양에서의 황산이온 흡착은 식물의 흡수, 양이온 이동 및 산중화능 등 산림생태계의 황 동태에 중요한 영향을 미친다. 따라서 본 연구는 산림토양 중의황산이온 분포와 그와 관련된 황산이온 흡착이 어떠한 토양특성에 의해 영향을 받는지를 밝히기 위해 수행되었다. 이를 위해 소나무와 신갈나무 임분으로 조성된 4개 산림지역을 대상으로 표토층과 심토층으로 구분하여 황산이온 흡착지표로서의 추출성 황산이온함량 및 황산이온 흡착능을 정량 한 후 관련 토양 물리화학적 특성인 pH. 양이온치환용량, 점토함량 및 Ai과 Fe 산화물의 종류별 함량과의 상관성을 분석하였다. 토양 중 추출성 황산이온 함량 및 황산이온 흡착능은 각 조사지별로 큰 차이를 보였으며 전체적으로 유기물 함량이 적고 Al 또는 Fe 산화물 함량은 많은 심토층이 표토층에 비하여 황산이온 흡착량이 많았다. 황산이온 흡착량이 많았던 심토층의$Al_d$와 $Fe_d$ 산화물 평균 함량은 각각 8.49와 $12.45g\;kg^{-1}$로 대체로 낮은 수준이었다. 황산이온 흡착지표들은 토양 pH, 양이온치환용량 및 점토함량과 대체로 유의적인 정의 상관관계를 보였다. 반면에 유기탄소 함량과는 부의 상관성을 보여 산림토양 중에서 유기물이 황산이온 흡착에 대해 경합물질로 작용함을 알 수 있었다. Ai과 Fe 산화물 중에서는 $Al_d,\;Al_o,\;Al_p,\;Al_a$ 및 $Fe_a$가 황산이온 흡착지표들과 유의성 있는 상관성을 보였으나, $Al_c$와 $Fe_c$는 황산이온 흡착지표들과 상관성이 없었다. 황산이온 흡착지표인자들과 토양 pH, 양이온치환용량 및 비결정형 Ai 함량간의 정의 상관관계 결과는 토양산성화로 인해 산림생태계에서 황 동태에 기여하는 산림토양의 황산이온 흡착 능력이 저하될 수 있음을 반영한다.
