Evaluating Feasibility of Soil Quality Assessment According to Soil Carbon Contents

초록

Soil was regarded as infinite resources but recently, soil is considered as invaluable resources that we need toprotect and conserve. Main objective of this research was to evaluate soil value in terms of soil carbon contents. Soil was classified into forest, paddy, upland, and grass. Carbon contents in each soil was calculated based on soilchemical properties. Calculated soil carbon contents was ranged 15.31-108.86 mg kg-1. Based on soil carboncontents, soil value was assumed adapting economic concepts. Calculated total soil value based on soil carboncontents was about 18.46 trillion won. Among others, carbon contents in forest was the highest and value wasassumed 11.95 trillion won followed by paddy field (3.7 trillion won).
