Terrain parameters calculated from digital elevation models (DEM) have become increasingly important in current spatially distributed models of earth surface processes. This paper investigated how the ability of upslope area for predicting the spatial distribution of soil properties varies depending on the selection of spatial resolutions of DEM and algorithms. Four soil attributes from eight soil-terrain data sets collected from different environments were used. Five different methods of calculating upslope area were first compared for their dependency on different grid sizes of DEM. Multiple flow algorithms produced the highest correlation coefficients for most soil attributes and the lowest variations amongst different DEM resolutions and soil attributes. The high correlation coefficient remained unchanged at resolutions from 15 m to 50 m. Considering decreasing topographical details with increasing grid size, we suggest that the size of 15-30 m may be most suitable for soil-landscape analysis purposes in our study areas.

광범위하게 집중적으로 채소 재배에 이용되고 있는 강원도 태백산맥 지역의 고랭지를 대상으로 유기물 시용이 토양의 비옥도를 비롯한 화학적 성질에 미치는 영향을 조사했다. 또한 이런 조건에서 재배되는 배추의 생장과 수확량, 그리고 품질을 평가했다. 토양에 첨가한 많은 양의 돈분과 톱밥, 계분과 톱밥, 계분, 퇴비 등의 유기물질과 화학비료가 토양 유기물 함량에는 결과적으로 거의 영향을 미치지 못했다. 토양의 pH에도 마찬가지로 별 영향이 없었다. 그러나 K와 함께 Fe와 Mn의 함량은 감소한 반면 Ca와 Mg의 함량은 증가했으며 특히 유효 $P_2O_5$는 대단히 많은 양이 축적되는 것을 발견하였다. 배추의 양분함량을 내엽과 외엽으로 구분하여 분석한 결과 일반적으로 외엽의 영양소 함량이 내엽보다 많았으며 토양에 첨가한 유기물질의 종류간에는 별 차이가 없었다. 수확량에도 첨가한 유기물질의 종류가 뚜렷한 차이를 나타내게 하지 않았으며 병충해에 의한 피해는 관찰되지 않았다.

The overall objective of this research was to show a NIR soil analyzer assessing soil fertility by measuring soil properties rapidly. A total of 140 soil samples were used to obtain calibrations and validation estimating soil properties. The soil samples were ground to pass 0.2mm sieve openings. Partial least square regression analysis was used to develop a calibration for soil analysis. The results indicated that NIR soil analyzer could be used as a routine method for quantitatively determining pH, OM, total nitrogen, CEC, extractable Ca, Mg, K, available $SiO_2$ and soil moisture simultaneously within one minute. Therefore, the NIR soil analyzer may be suitable for quick estimation of soil fertility estimation in fertilizer assessments.

Disposal of high amount of coal combustion by-products, such as fly ash and bottom ash, is of a great concern to the country, due to the huge treatment cost and land requirement. On the other hand, those coal-ash wastes are considered to have desirable characteristics that may improve physical, chemical, and biological properties of soils. Especially, compared with fly ash, bottom ash has a larger particle size, porous surface area, and usable amount of micronutrients. In the present study, we examined bottom as a soil amendment for mitigating $CO_2$ emission and enhancing carbon sequestration in soils fertilized with organic matter (hairy vetch, green barely, and oil cake fertilizer). Through laboratory incubation, $CO_2$ released from the soil was quantitatively and periodically monitored with an enforced-aeration and high-temperature respirometer. We observed that amendment of bottom ash led to a marked reduction in $CO_2$ emission rate and cumulative amount of $CO_2$ released, which was generally proportional to the amount of bottom ash applied. We also found that the temporal patterns of $CO_2$ emission and C sequestration effects were partially dependent on the relative of proportion labile carbon and C/N ratio of the organic matter. Our results strongly suggest that amendment of bottom ash has potential benefits for fixing labile carbon as more stable soil organic matter, unless the bottom ash contains toxic levels of heavy metals or other contaminants.

산성강하물이 산림토양에 미치는 영향을 조사하기 위하여 오염이 우려되는 공단지역(울산, 여천)과 대도시지역(서울, 부산), 그리고 비오염지역인 대조지역(평창, 삼천포)을 대상으로 이들 지역의 산림토양의 특성을 조사하였다. 또한, 이들지역 각각을 대표할 수 있는 산림토양에 인공산성비를 유출시켜 토양의 화학적 성질의 변화를 조사한 결과는 다음과 같다. - 조사지역별 토성분포는 일정한 경향을 보이지 않았으며, 전체 조사지역 토성은 양토(29.0%), 식양토(22.9%), 사양토(18.3%) 3종류가 분포율이 높았고, 이들이 전체의 70.2%를 차지하였다. - 조사지역 전체 산림토양 표토의 pH($H_2O$)는 4.41~5.14 범위로 평균 4.49이고, 심토의 pH($H_2O$)는 4.54 ~ 5.22 범위로 평균 4.69이었다. 지역별로 보면 공단지역(4.44) < 대도시지역(4.57) < 대조지역(5.08) 순서로 토양 pH가 낮은 경향을 나타냈다. - 염기포화도는 3.07 ~ 21.83% 범위이고, 평균값은 7.71%이었다. 지역별 비교에서는 대조지역(19.14%) > 공단지역(6.54%) > 대도시지역(5.60%) 순서로 높은 경향을 보였다. - 치환성 Al 함량은 2.13 ~ 5.59cmol(+)/kg 범위이고 평균 4.62cmol(+)/kg이었다. 지역별 비교에서는 대조지역(2.34) < 대도시지역(3.23) < 공단지역(5.20) 순서로 낮은 경향을 나타냈다. - 4종의 인공산성우(pH 2.0, 3.0, 4.0 및 5.6)를 산림토양에 유출시킨 결과 인공산성우의 유출량이 증가함에 따라 토양유출액의 pH 감소, 토양염기의 유실이 지속적으로 나타났고, AL과 Mn의 용탈량이 증가하는 경향을 나타내었는데, 이러한 현상은 pH 3.0 인공산성우 유출시에 시작되어 pH 2.0에서 뚜렸하였다. - 인공산성우 토양유출 실험결과 울산, 남산 및 평창토양은 H 부하량의 증가에 따른 치환성염기 및 Al과 Mn의 용탈양상은 Sigmoid curve인 y = a/{1+exp(-c+bx)} 모델식에 따랐다.

항생물질과 RNA 분해효소를 동시에 생산하는 방선균의 한 균주를 토양으로부터 분리하여 이 균주가 생산하는 RNA 분해효소의 물리화학적 성질 및 분해산물에 대해 검토하였다. 효소반응의 최적 pH 및 온도는 명명 pH 5.6과 $50^{\circ}C이었다.$ $37^{\circ}C$ 에서 90분간 열처리 시켰을 때, 이 효소의 활성은 비교적 안정하였지마는 $50^{\circ}C$ 에서 90분간 열처리 시켰을 때는 효소활성이 심하게 저하되었다. 이 효소의 활성은 $Ba^{2+}$ 에 의하여 50% 정도의 저해 작용을 나타내었지만 EDTA에 의해서는 저해되지 않았다. 이 효소에 의한 RNA분해로 이 효소가 대사산물로서 guanosine, adenosine과 밝혀지지 않은 두 가지의 핵산관연물질을 생산함을 알 수 있었다. 제2보에서는 ENase의 효소학적 성질을 검토하였으며 이후 항생물질 측면에서 검토할 예정이다.

The corrosivity evaluations on soil surrounding the buried steel piles under manufacturing plants. It was proven that the soil structure of this sample area is composed of several soil layers, and that each layer show the different corrosivity. The predicted average corrosion rates of some layers are about 0.33mm/y, which is over than the general corrosion rate, 0.01-0.02mm/y.

The characteristics of some hillside soils in Yeongnam area were investigated to obtain the basic informations for reclamation. Some physico-chemical properties of the soils were discussed with erodibility factor (K) and aggregate stability. The domain clay mineral of soils was identified as Kaoline. Their exchangeable AI, Fe contents were high, and phosphate adsorption coefficients were ranged from 246 to 551 p mg/100g. The improvement of their physico-chemical properties is required in advance to reclaim at those soils.

Sorption and desorption processes play an important role in the transport and fate of organic contaminants in subsurface system. In this study, sorption and desorption characteristics of atrazine in 7 soils selected at the Gwangju area were investigated. Soil organic carbon contents ranged from 0.42 to 2.82%. Sorption and desorption experiments were performed in batch slurries. Sorption distribution coefficient ($K_d$) of atrazine were ranged from 0.48 to 3.26 l/kg and $K_d$ value increased with increasing organic carbon contents except of Kyongbang and Youngdong soils. Single desorption data were analyzed by the three-site desorption model including equilibrium, non-equilibrium and non-desorbable site. Non-desorbable site fractions of atrazine in all soils were enumerated and non-desorbable atrazine was observed in seriesdilution desorption experiment. Sorption/desorption hysteresis was also observed in the series-dilution desorption experiment.

Geomorphological properties for the phylite-derived soil were examined to relate processes to four landscape positions, shoulder, backslope, footslope, and toeslope in Chungbuk. The distribution of Ogcheon-geology system was 216 thousand ha in South Korea. 2 orders, 3 suborders, 4 great groups, 5 subgroups, and 9 series were mapped. Soil color was interlocked by landscape. Soil color index values and $Fe_2O_3$ contents increased with soil-drainge class. Silt/clay and Ca/Mg ratios tended to narrow wish elevation and decreased with depth. Therefore, profile development or age on the landscape position was shoulder>backslope>footslope>toeslope. Color index(C2m) has a sighificant correlation with $Fe_2O_3$, in soil profile($r=0.777^{**}$). Pedologic type was continuity/discontinuity and soil property changes of depth<12cm would have a continous function.
