Abstract

Valuation of ecosystem services through organic carbon distribution and cycling in the Pinus densiflora forest at Mt. Worak National Park were investigated from January 2013 through December 2013. The amount of carbon allocated to above and below ground biomass was 32.17 and 8.04 ton C $ha^{-1}$. Amount of organic carbon in litter layer was 5.55 ton C $ha^{-1}$. Amount of organic carbon within 50cm soil depth was 58.62 ton C $ha^{-1}$ 50cm-$depth^{-1}$. Total amount of organic carbon in this Pinus densiflora forest was estimated to 104.38 ton C $ha^{-1}$. The estimated amount of won in this Pinus densiflora forest in terms of total organic carbon was about 10.44 million won $ha^{-1}$. The amount of carbon evolved through soil respiration was 4.44 ton C $ha^{-1}yr^{-1}$. The amount of carbon evolved through microbial respiration and root respiration was 2.18 and 2.27 ton C $ha^{-1}yr^{-1}$, respectively. The amount of organic carbon absorbed from the atmosphere of this Pinus densiflora forest was 0.44 ton C $ha^{-1}yr^{-1}$ when estimated from the difference between net primary production and microbial respiration. This amount will come to about 44,000 won $ha^{-1}$ in Korean currency.

월악산국립공원에 발달되어 있는 소나무림에서 2013년 1월부터 2013년 12월까지 유기탄소 분포와 순환을 통한 생태계 서비스 가치를 평가하였다. 지상부와 지하부 생물량에 분포되어 있는 유기탄소량은 각각 32.17 및 8.04 ton C $ha^{-1}$이었으며, 낙엽층과 토양의 유기탄소량은 각각 5.55 ton C $ha^{-1}$ 및 58.62 ton C $ha^{-1}$ 50cm-$depth^{-1}$로 조사되었다. 조사지 소나무림의 전체 유기탄소량은 104.38 ton C $ha^{-1}$이었으며, 이중 37.9%가 식물체에 분포하였다. 소나무림의 전체 유기탄소량을 원화로 환산하면 약 1,044 만원 $ha^{-1}$의 가치를 갖는 것으로 추정되었다. 조사기간 동안 토양호흡을 통하여 방출되는 탄소량은 4.44 ton C $ha^{-1}yr^{-1}$으로 이중 미생물호흡과 뿌리호흡을 통해 방출되는 탄소량은 각각 2.18 및 2.27 ton C $ha^{-1}yr^{-1}$이었다. 유기탄소 순 생산량과 미생물호흡량의 차이로 추정했을 때 본 소나무림에서 연간 대기로부터 흡수하는 순 유기탄소는 0.44 ton C $ha^{-1}yr^{-1}$로서, 이를 원화로 환산하면 약 44,000원 $ha^{-1}$의 가치를 갖는 것으로 추정되었다.
