Abstract

This study analyzed the changes in soil properties as exposed time in wildfires and made the following conclusions. The soil temperature decreased with increasing soil depth, and the soil temperature was lower in the clay-containing case than in the sand-containing case. As the exposure time increased, the soil temperature generally increased and the soil color changed to reddish brown. Soil pH decreased with increasing exposure time, but soil EC increased overall, with clay-rich soils having higher soil EC than sand-rich soils. From the above conclusions, considering the fact that natural heritage sites are located in the mountains, which are difficult to access, detailed research on the characteristics of soils affected by forest fires is necessary.

본 논문에서는 산불 발생 시 노출시간에 따른 토양의 특성 변화를 비교 분석하여 다음과 같은 결론을 도출하였다. 토양의 깊이가 깊어질수록 토양온도는 감소하며 점토가 많이 포함된 경우가 모래의 비율이 높은 경우보다 토양 온도가 낮게 나타났다. 노출시간이 길어질수록 전제적으로 토양 온도가 상승하였으며, 토양 색이 붉은 갈색으로 변화하였다. 노출시간이 길어짐에 따라 토양 pH는 감소하였으나, 토양 EC는 전체적으로 증가하였으며 점토가 많은 점토질의 경우 모래가 많은 사질토 보다 토양 EC가 높게 나타났다. 이상의 결론에서 접근하기 어려운 산중 등에 자연유산이 위치한 국내 실정을 고려하면 산불로 인한 토양의 특성에 대한 자세한 연구가 필요하다.
