Abstract

본 연구는 울릉도 나리칼데라에서 산출된 탄화목의 수종식별, 연륜분석, 방사성탄소 연대를 통해 고식생/고환경, 분출연대 및 화산쇄설물의 정치온도에 대한 정보를 제공하기 위해 수행되었다. 탄화목은 울릉도 최후기 화산쇄설층을 대표하는 나리테프라층의 최하부(Member N-5) 부석질 퇴적층 내에서 채취되었으며, 나이테의 원형(횡단면)이 잘 보존된 나무의 가지 부분이다. 분석결과, 수종은 소나무과 중 가문비나무속(Picea spp.)으로 식별되었으며 최외각 나이테의 연륜은 <TEX>$263+{\alpha}$</TEX> 년으로 확인되었다. 나이테는 중심(pith)에서 바깥쪽을 향해 그 나이가 점차 젊어지며 <TEX>$20,260{\pm}230$</TEX>, <TEX>$19,995{\pm}245$</TEX> 및 <TEX>$19,975{\pm}265cal\;BP$</TEX> 의 보정연대를 가진다. 가장 젊은 연대인 19,710 cal BP 는 Member N-5의 분출과 관련된 연대일 가능성이 높다. 이 결과는 후기 플라이스토세 동안 울릉도 나리칼데라는 가문비나무가 번성하였으며, 한랭 습윤한 기후조건하에 있었음을 지시한다. 광택, 취성, 색 및 조흔색 등의 특성에 기초하면, 탄화를 야기한 화산쇄설물의 최소 온도는 약 <TEX>$350{\sim}500^{\circ}C$</TEX> 정도일 것으로 추정된다. The purpose of this study is to provide an inquiry into paleovegetation (paleoenvironment), eruption age and inferred emplacement temperature of pyroclastic deposit using charcoal occurred in the Quaternary Nari Caldera, Ulleung Island. In order to obtain the data, we carried out species identification and tree-ring analysis, radiocarbon dating for the charcoal. This sample was collected from pumiceous deposit in lowermost member(Member N-5) of the Nari Tephra Formation, which corresponds to the wood branch that has well preserved the tree-ring structure. Speciation and outermost tree-ring of wood reveal Picea spp. and <TEX>$263+{\alpha}$</TEX> years. The calibrated ages from the center(pith) to the outermost tree-ring are <TEX>$20,260{\pm}230$</TEX>, <TEX>$19,995{\pm}245$</TEX>, and <TEX>$19,975{\pm}265cal\;BP$</TEX>, respectively, which are accordant with the tree-ring position. The youngest age, <19,710 cal BP would have implications for the eruptive age of Member N-5. Our results indicate that Picea spp. is the paleovegetation representing that Nari Caldera was under cold and wet climate conditions during the late Pleistocene. Based on the silky luster, brittleness, color, and streak of charcoal, etc., the lowest emplacement temperatures of pyroclastic flow are interpreted to have been at least as high as <TEX>$350{\sim}500^{\circ}C$</TEX>.
