Abstract

간벌 후4년이 경과된 삼나무와 편백 채종원(제주도 서귀포시 상효동)을 대상으로 간벌 효과를 구명하고자 간벌 강도별(0, 20, 40, 60%)로 토양의 화학적 특성, 구과 및 종자 특성, ha당 종자 생산량, 그리고 종자와 구과 내 양분 함량 등을 조사하였다. 간벌 강도별로 토양 분석을 실시한 결과, 수종 간에는 통계적으로 유의적인 차이가 없었으나 편백 채종원에서는 전기전도도, 전질소, 그리고 칼륨 농도 등에서 간벌 강도에 따라 유의적인 차이(p<0.05)가 나타났으며, 삼나무 채종원에서는 칼슘 농도에서만 유의적인 차이(p<0.05)를 나타냈다. 한편, 편백 채종원에서는 간벌 강도가 강해질수록 구과 결실량이 많아졌으나(p<0.05), 삼나무 채종원에서는 간벌 강도에 따른 차이가 없었다. 아울러, 두 수종 모두 간벌 강도가 강해질수록 종자가 크고 무거워지는 경향을 보였으나 통계적인 유의차는 나타나지 않았다. 또한 ha당 종자 생산량에 있어서도 편백과 삼나무 채종원 모두 간벌 강도에 따라 고도의 유의성(p<0.01)이 인정되었다. 편백 채종원에서는 간벌 강도가 강해질수록 종자 생산량이 증가한 반면, 삼나무 채종원에서는 간벌 강도가 강해질수록 종자 생산량이 감소하는 경향을 보였다. 종자와 구과 내 양분 함량의 경우 두 수종 모두 간벌 강도에 따른 차이는 없는 것으로 나타났다. This study was conducted to investigate the effects of thinning on soil properties and seed productivity in the 25-year-old Cryptomeria japonica and 30-year-old Chamaecyparis obtusa seed orchards in which thinning had been performed 4 years prior to the study. To this end, soil properties, cone and seed characteristics, seed production (kg/ha), and nutrient contents in seeds and cones were studied by 4 different thinning intensities (0, 20, 40, and 60%). Soil properties were not significantly different between the two orchards. Meanwhile, electric conductivity, total nitrogen, and <TEX>$K^+$</TEX> concentration in the soil of C. obtusa seed orchard were significantly different among 4 different thinning intensities (p<0.05), while only <TEX>$Ca^{2+}$</TEX> concentration in the C. japonica seed orchard was different (p<0.05). In the C. obtusa seed orchard, cone productivity increased with the increase of thinning intensities (p<0.05), whereas that in the C. japonica seed orchard did not show any significant differences. Both of the two seed orchards showed a tendency that seeds become bigger and heavier with the increase of thinning intensities, but any significant differences were not found. Seed production (kg/ha) in the C. obtusa seed orchard significantly increased with the increase of thinning intensities, while that of the C. japonica seed orchard decreased. Nutrient contents in seeds and cones did not show any significant differences among different thinning intensities in both of the two seed orchards.
