Abstract
Abstract The purpose of this study is to clarify correlations between soil environments and the growthof trees in forests and thereon analyze effects of seasonal changes in such environments on suchgrowth. To determine seasonal factors of soil affecting the Tree Vitality of Pinus thunbergii , firstof all, the study designated the Tree Vitality as a dependent variable and soil hardness,moisture, pH, K, Na, Mg and Ca as independent variables. Then the study performed Pearsonss coefficient analysis.To clarify what soil factors influence the seasonal growth of Pinus thunbergii multipleregression analysis is carried out, and findings are as follow; the growth of Pinus thunbergii wasbasically influenced by pH, followed by soil hardness in spring, K, followed by moisture insummer, and by soil hardness in winter. However, no soil factors affected the vitality at thesignificance level of 5% for t.Keywords : Tree Vitality, Soil hardness, Moisture, pH, K, Na, Mg, Ca Corresponding Author: Kim, Seok-Kyu, Dept. of Landscape Architecture, Dong-A University, Busan 604-714, Korea Tel: 82-51-200-5546,E-mail: skkim1967@hanmail.net
