본 연구는 산성비 및 대기오염물질이 수도권지역의 침엽수 잎에 미치는 피해의 조기판단을 위해 피해도지수, 침엽접촉각, 엽내영양물질, 침엽내 wax, 토양의 화학적 성질 등의 항목을 조사.분석하였다. 조사기간은 1990년 6월부터 1년 동안 하였고, 재료는 대기오염에 민감한 수종으로 알려진 독일가문비나무와 전나무를 이용하였으며 연구결과는 다음과 같다. 피해도지수는 1990년 6월에는 무피해지(광릉, 양평), 경피해지(인천, 보라매공원, 서울여대, 안양, 양수리, 과천), 심피해지(남산, 서울시립대, 어린이대공원, 금곡릉)으로 나누어졌다. 그러나, 1990년 12월에는 인천, 과천이 심피해지로 포함되는 등 시간이 경과할수록 피해가 확산되는 경향을 보였다. 침엽의 접촉각에서도 1990년 6월보다 1990년 12월의 값이 감소하였으며, 두수종 모두 1년생잎에서 2, 3년생잎으로 갈수록 접촉각이 낮게 측정되었다. 그리고, 어린묘목일수록 피해가 심하게 나타났다. 피해도지수와 접촉각간에는 고도의 상관관계가 인정되었다. 엽내영양물질분석에서 Ca, Mg, K의 값은 대체로 시간경과에 따라 감소하였으며, 엽령이 높을수록 낮은 값을 보였다. Wax정량분석은 심피해지역에서는 엽령이 높을수록 wax함량이 적었고, 무피해지역에서는 엽령이 높을수록 많았다. 본 연구결과에 의하면 위 항목의 분석방법들이 상호보완적으로 적용되고, 장기간 지속적으로 수행될 경우 보다 좋은 결과를 얻을 수 있을 것이라 판단되었다.

This study was conducted to the early diagnosis of injuries on needles of conifer by acid rain and air pollutants in metropolitan area, Korea. It was executed to calculate of injured index, contact angle measurement, nutrient content analysis in needles, analysis of soil chemical properties from June 1990 to June 1991. The sensitive species (Picea abies, Abies holophylla) for acid rain and air pollutants were used as the study materials. And the results from this study were as follows : Degree of Injured index was divided into three groups in June 1990. The first group (not injured sites) was Kwangnung and Yangpyung. The Second group (slight injured sites) was Inchon, Boramae Park, Kwachun, Seoul Women's Univ., Anyng, and Yangsuri. The third group (serious injured sites) was Namsan, Seoul City Univ., Children's Park, and Kumgok Royal Tomb. But, Inchon, Kwachon area were changed from slight injured areas to serious injured areas in December 1990. As time goes on, the degree of injured gets worse. In contact angle analysis, value of December 1990 was lower than that of June 1990, especially, that of two-year-needle were lower than of one-year-needle. The correlation between injured Index and contact angle was significantly negative. In the result of needle nutrients analysis of Picea abies, Abies hozophylla, Ca, Mg, K contents was higher in December 1990 than that in June 1991 and that of one-year-needle were prominantly higher than that of two-year-needle. In case of wax quantity analysis in injured area, the older the leaf age is, the smaller the contented wax quantity is. In injured area, the higher a leaf age is, the much that of index is. As a result, the method of analysis referred in the former, is applied by a complementary cooperation. That of method is done sustainably in the future, the correct results will be expected.
