월악산 국립공원에서 2009년 1월부터 2013년 12월까지 5년간 낙엽생산량과 낙엽을 통해 임상으로 이입되는 영양염류량을 조사하였다. 잎, 가지, 생식기관, 기타로 분류된 낙엽의 5년간 평균 생산량은 각각 1.940 ±0.21, 0.505 ± 0.15, 0.259 ± 0.09, and 0.737 ± 0.14 t ㏊-1 yr-1 이었으며 낙엽구성원의 비율은 각각 56.4, 14.7, 7.5, 21.4%, 로 잎의 비율이 가장 높았다. 조사기간 동안 생산된 낙엽의 총량은 2009년부터 2013년까지 각각 2.810, 3.796, 3.268, 3.284, 4.045 ton ㏊-1 yr-1 으로, 5년간 평균 3.441 ± 0.49 ton ㏊-1 yr-1의 낙엽이 생산되었다. 조사기간 동안 조사된 낙엽을 통해 입상에 이입되는 질소, 인, 칼륨, 칼슘, 마그네슘의 평균 이입량은 각각 22.73 ± 4.92, 1.05 ± 0.42, 4.26 ± 1.69, 8.48 ± 4.62, 2.42 ± 1.01 ㎏ ㏊-1 yr-1 이었다.

The litter production, the nutrient concentration of each component of litterfall, and the amounts of nutrient into the forest floor via litterfall were assessed for 5 years from January 2009 through December 2013 in a Pinus densiflora forest in Mt. Worak National Park. The average amounts of leaf litter, branch and bark, reproductive organs(flowers and cones), and miscellaneous categories for 5 years were 1.940 ± 0.21, 0.505 ± 0.15, 0.259 ± 0.09, and 0.737 ± 0.14 t ㏊-1 yr-1, respectively. The average percentage of leaf litter, branch and bark, reproductive organs and miscellaneous categories for 5 years were 56.4, 14.7, 7.5, and 21.4%, respectively. The amounts of total litterfall in 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, and 2013 were 2.810, 3.796, 3.268, 3.284, and 4.045 ton ㏊-1 yr-1, respectively. The average amounts of litterfall for 5 years were 3.441 ± 0.49 ton ㏊-1 yr-1. The average amounts of N, P, K, Ca, and Mg returned to the forest floor via litterfall for 5 years in this Pinus densiflora forest were 22.73 ± 4.92, 1.05 ± 0.42, 4.26 ± 1.69, 8.48 ± 4.62, and 2.42 ± 1.01 ㎏ ㏊-1 yr-1, respectively.
