Abstract

Restoration of min-impacted arable land is often performed through stabilization of trace elements by amendment treatment combined with (clean) soil covering on the surface. Recently, soil loss problem from sloping remediated agricultural lands has risen as an emerging concern. In this study, efficacy of aggregation formation was assessed by single and binary treatments of four potential amendments (bentonite, lime, organic matter, and steel slag) applied on three cover soils having different clay contents (9.4, 14.7, and 21.2% for A, B, and C soils respectively). In results of single treatments, 5% organic matter for A soil and 5% lime for B and C soils were found most effective for the aggregation formation compared to the respective controls (without amendments). Among nine binary treatments, 3% organic matter + 1% lime for A soil and 1% organic matter + 3% lime for both B and C soils led to the highest formation of aggregation (30.4, 25.0, and 36.5% for A, B, and C soils). For a site-application, the soil erodibility difference between the cover soils (0.045, 0.051, and 0.054 for A, B, and C soils, respectively) and the national average of arable land (0.032) was assumed to be compensated by amendment addition, which is equivalent to 29.1% aggregation formation. To achieve the aggregation goal, 5% lime for A and B soils and 3% lime for C soil were best in the consideration of benefit/cost, thereby effectively and economically reducing soil loss from sloping remediation site. Soil alkalinity induced by lime treatment was not considered in this work.

광산 활동에 의해 오염된 농경지의 복원은 개량제 처리와 복토를 기반의 미량원소 안정화 기법으로 진행되고 있다. 최근 복원된 부지 중 경사 농경지에서 토양 유실 문제가 대두되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 4종의 개량제 (벤토나이트, 석회, 유기물, 제강슬래그)를 다양한 비율로 단일 또는 복합처리 한 후 입단 형성의 효율을 평가했다. 복토재는 점토함량이 다른 3가지 토양 (A 토양=9.4%, B토양=14.7%, C 토양=21.2%)을 대상으로 했다. 단일처리 결과, A 토양은 유기물 5%, B와 C 토양은 석회 5%가 각 토양의 대조구에 비해 입단 형성이 가장 효과적이었다. 9가지 복합처리구 중에서 A 토양은 유기물 3% + 석회 1%, B와 C 토양은 유기물 1% + 석회 3% 처리구의 입단 형성이 가장 높았다 (A 토양=30.4%, B 토양=25.0%, C 토양=36.5%). 현장처리를 위해 각 복토재 (A 토양=0.045, B 토양=0.051, C 토양=0.054)와 국내 농경지의 평균 (0.032) 토양침식인자 차이만큼을 개량제에 의한 목표 입단 형성량으로 설정하였다(29.1% 입단형성). 비용편익을 고려한 최적 개량제 선정한 결과 A와 B 토양은 석회 3%, C 토양은 석회 5%가 가장 적합 했으며, 이를 통한 경사진 복원된 경사 농경지에서 토양 유실을 효과적이고 경제적으로 저감할 것으로 예측된다. 본 연구에서 석회 처리에 의한 토양 알칼리도 상승은 고려하지 않았다.
