대관령 지역에 많이 분포하고 있는 두 토양, 석비레 (Saprolite) 토양과 차항통 (Chahang series) 토양을 사용하여 경사면이 균일한 나지 토양에서 경사도 0.5, 7, 15, 30%와 강우강도 20, 60, $90mm;hr^{-1}$의 조합으로 12처리를 하여 토양 유실에 대한 인공강우실험을 하였다. 그 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 석비레 (Saprolite) 토양에서는 경사도 7% 까지는 토양유실이 적게 나타나다가 7% 이상의 경사면에서는 급격하게 증가하였고 차항통 (Chahang series) 토양은 경사도, 강우강도 증가와 함께 유실이 점증하였고, 경사도와 강우강도가 적은조합에서도 유실이 다소 크게 나타났다. 경사도 15, 30%와 강우강도 60, 90mm/hr의 조합처리에서는 두 토양 모두 토양유실이 크게 일어나고, 두 토양 간에 큰 차이는 없었다. 차항통 (Chahang series) 토양은 경사도, 강우강도가 적은 조합에서도 유실이 일어날 위험성이 크므로 토양관리에 주의를 요한다.
This research was carried out to investigate the interaction effect of slope gradient and rainfall intensity on soil loss with rainfall simulator. The soils used in this experiment were saprolite, Chahang series which distributed extensively in Daegwanryong. Slope gradient applied was 0.5, 7, 15 and 30%. Rainfall intensity applied was 20, 60 and $90mm;hr^{-1}$. The result obtained can be summarised as follow; Overall, Chahang series suffered more losses than saprolite. Chahang series shows the immediately large increase of soil loss with the increasing soil gradient and rainfall intensity. However, saprolite shows a little increasing loss up to 7% gradient and abruptly increasing loss logarithmically over 7% gradient in soil slope. In combination of slope gradient 15, 30% and rainfall intensity 60, $90mm;hr^{-1}$ processing, both soil erosion happened significantly. And there was no significant difference between the two soils. Because Chahang series have the danger of soil loss with low slope gradient and rainfall intensity, we should give greater attention to soil management in Chahang series.
