Abstract

Carbon sequestration efficiency from soil management practices has been tested in the field and in laboratories, but in little cases, complete carbon mass balances have been quantified. Most of the previous studies measured changes in solid or gas phase carbon, without quantifying the distribution of carbon components in all three phases (gas, aqueous, and solid) of soil systems. Calculating the carbon mass balance in an unsaturated soil column is not a simple task because carbon continuously exchanges among these three phases. In this study, we comprehensively measured carbon concentrations in gaseous, aqueous and solid phases and determined carbon mass balances in unsaturated soil columns. This study set an example of calculating carbon mass balance in a laboratory unsaturated-soil column and the method suggested here would be potentially useful in a study of carbon sequestration via soil management practices.

토양을 이용한 대기 중 탄소 제거를 위한 연구가 실험실 또는 현장 스케일로 수행되고 있으나, 대부분의 경우 토양 내의 탄소물질수지에 대한 계산 없이 연구가 수행되고 있다. 또한 문헌에 소개되는 대부분의 연구에서, 토양 내에 존재하는 고상의 유기 및 무기탄소의 변화 만을 측정할 뿐, 탄소변화의 세부요소에 대한 측정까지 이루어진 경우는 찾아보기 힘들다. 탄소는 토양 내부에서 3상으로 존재하므로, 탄소의 물질수지를 실험을 통하여 측정하는 것은 쉬운 일이 아니다. 본 연구에서는 불포화토양 칼럼에서 탄소의 양을 세가지 상에서 측정하고, 이를 바탕으로 탄소물질수지를 계산하였다. 이 연구의 결과는 불포화 토양칼럼에서 탄소물질 수지를 계산할 수 있도록 고안된 칼럼 실험의 예를 제시하고 있으며, 본 연구에서 제시하는 칼럼 장치는 토양관리를 통한 대기 중 이산화탄소 제거 연구에 유용하게 쓰일 수 있을 것이다.
