This study measured soil respiration in pine forests dominated by Pinus densiflora in Mt. Jeombong, Mt. Namsan, Mt. Jirisan in Republic of Korea from 2009 to 2010. The seasonal variations, along with temperature and soil moisture content, were measured to understand the characteristics at each site. Soil respiration was highest in summer and autumn, closely influenced by the increase in soil temperature. Throughout the measurement period, soil respiration ranged from 205.6 to 312.2 mg CO2 m-2 h-1, with Mt. Namsan showing the highest values and Mt. Jirisan the lowest. A strong correlation was observed between soil respiration and soil temperature, with Q10 values ranging from 2.5 to 3.0. Precipitation significantly affected soil moisture content, and although it appeared to influence soil respiration, no significant correlation was found.

Various ecosystem carry out fundamental function of material circulation and energy flow through interrelationship with many environmental factors. Therefore, it is crucial to scientifically understand the value of nature to deduce correlation between environmental factor and change of ecosystem function. In this study, we determined the accumulated ecosystem carbon and characteristics of soil respiration on grassland vegetation in Namahangang basin in Namhangang Basin. It was found that the rate of soil respiration was highly correlated with the soil temperature in all communities. The measured soil respiration rates were 1,539 mgCO2 m-2 h-1, 1,200 mgCO2 m-2 h-1, 1,215 mgCO2 m-2 h-1 in Miscanthus sacchariflorus, Phragmites japonica, Salix koreensis communities, respectively. Also, carbon quantities accumulated in litter and soil layers were 40.6 tCha-1 (1.9+38.7), 46.9 tCha-1 (43.0+3.9), 31.2 tCha-1 (28.9+2.3) in M. sacchariflorus, P. japonica, S. koreensis communities, respectively.

생육온도가 증가함에 따라 CO2(ppm/hr/㎥/병)농도는 증가하였고, 생육단계별로는 생육후기에 가장 높은 경향을 나타내고 있으며, 품종별로 춘추2호<수한2호<청풍<진미<흑백 순으로 호흡량이 많은 경향을 나타내었다. 또한 생육온도가 높아짐에 따라 O2(ppm/hr/㎥/병)소비량은 증가하는 경향이었으며, 생육단계별로 생육후기에 가장 많이 소비되는 경향을 보이고 있고, 품종별로 춘추2호<수한2호<청풍<진미<흑백 순으로 소비된 O2량이 많아지는 경향이었다. 그리고 느타리버섯의 생육적정 온도인 15℃에서의 호흡지수는 춘추2호가 500일 때, 수한2호 528, 청풍 573, 진미 617, 흑백 634로 신품종의 호흡지수는 춘추2호 보다 높은 경향을 나타내었다.

This paper was studied CO2 respiration rate with physicochemical properties of soils at wetland, paddy field and forest in Nongju-ri, Haeryong-myeon, Suncheon city, Jeollanam-do. Soil temperature and CO2 respiration rate were measured at the field, and soil pH, moisture and soil organic carbon were analyzed in laboratory. Field monitoring was conducted at 6 points (W3, W7, W13, W17, W23, W27) for wetland, 3 points (P1, P2, P3) for paddy field and 3 points (F1, F2, F3) for forest in 10 January 2009. CO2 concentrations in chamber were measured 352∼382 ppm for wetland, 364∼382 ppm for paddy field and 379∼390 ppm for forest, and the average values were 370 ppm, 370 ppm and 385 ppm, respectively. CO2 respiration rates of soils were measured -73∼44 mg/㎡/hr for wetland, -74∼24 mg/㎡/hr for paddy field and -55∼106 mg/㎡/hr for forest, and the average values were -8 mg/㎡/hr, -25 mg/㎡/hr and 38 mg/㎡/hr. CO2 was uptake from air to soil in wetland and paddy field, but it was emission from soil to air in forest. CO2 respiration rate function in uptake condition increased exponential and linear as soil temperature and soil organic carbon. But, it in emission condition decreased linear as soil temperature and soil organic carbon. CO2 respiration rate function in wetland decreased linear as soil moisture, but its in paddy and forest increased linear as soil moisture. CO2 respiration rate function in all sites increased linear as soil pH, and increasing rate at forest was highest.
