초록

최근 편리함과 측정의 정확성으로 인해 Capacitance sensor가 토양수분 연구나 물관리에 국제적으로도 널리 이용되고 있다. 이 연구는 Capacitance sensor (EnviroSCAN, Sentek Ltd.)가 화산회토양이 많이 분포하는 제주도 지역에서도 활용성이 있는 지를 알아보기 위해 유기물함량이 다른 제주도의 대표적인 토양 종류를 이용하여 Calibration 시험을 수행하였다. 시험 결과 화산회토양에서는 비화산회토양과 달리 센서의 Scaled frequency와 토양의 용적수분함량 간에 Calibration식이 로그식 형태로 나타내는 것이 일반적으로 적용되는 지수식 형태로 나타내는 것보다 상관이 더 높게 나타났다. 또한 화산회토양이 많이 분포하는 지역에 서는 토양수분함량이 높아 습하거나 매우 적어 건조할 경우에는 Capacitance sensor에 의한 수분함량 측정값이 건조기를 이용한 수분함량 값보다 과소하게 측정될 수 있었다. Capacitance sensor를 이용하여 화산회토양에서 토양 수분함량을 정확하게 측정하기 위해서 Calibration식에 적용될 수 있는 현실적인 계수값을 제시하였다. 또 현재 이용되는 EnviroSCAN capacitance probes의 활용성을 제고하기 위해서 계수값을 유기물함량별로 추정하는 식을 제시 하였다. Capacitance sensor를 이용하여 토양수분함량을 정확하게 측정하기 위해서는 사전에 토양의 공극분포, 유기물함량, EC 등 측정여건을 파악하여 조절하는 것이 필요하였다.

Capacitance soil moisture sensor is extensively used by soil research and irrigation management with its convenience and accuracy. This experiment was conducted to evaluate the acceptability of capacitance soil moisture sensor, named EnviroSCAN made by Sentek Ltd., in Jeju Island where volcanic ash soils are widely distributed, and to calibrate it to various soils with different amount of soil organic matter. For sensor calibration equation of volcanic ash soils, a logarithm function is better than a typical power function of non-volcanic ash soils. So there are possibilities of under evaluated in soil water contents in very wet and very dry conditions by using typical power function with volcanic ash soil areas. We suggested practical coefficients of typical calibration equation for using capacitance sensor in volcanic ash soils, also suggested equations for estimation of them with soil organic matter contents. The measurement of soil water content with a capacitance sensor can be affected by some soil characteristics such as porosity, soil organic matter content, EC, etc. So those factors should be controlled for improving the accuracy of measurement.
