Direct electron beam irradiation experiments on artificially contaminated soil by polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) were performed to evaluate applicability of direct electron beam irradiation process for contaminated soil remediation. The removal efficiency of PAHs was about 97 % at 600 kGy and PCBs about 70 % at 800 kGy. PAHs were removed 27 % more, compared to PCBs although the absorbed dose was as low as 200 kGy. The contaminants decomposition was due predominantly to direct interaction of high-energy electrons and the target compounds rather than due to oxidation/reduction reaction by reactive intermediates. Radiolysis of electron beam may be able to decontaminate contaminated soil by toxic and recalcitrant organic compounds like as PAHs and PCBs effectively, but it may be economically uncompetitive. Thus, developments of post-treatment process of conventional site remediation technologies may be more practical and economical than direct radiolysis.

현대 인류는 비약적인 경제성장으로 인하여 급격한 도시화와 산업화를 이루었다. 하지만 이러한 성장을 위해 수반되는 자원개발 및 생활환경조성으로 인한 토지개발이 진행되어 많은 양의 토양이 유실되고 있다. 토양유실을 관리하기 위해서는 모니터링을 통해 관리하는 방법과 모형을 통해 유실되는 토양의 양을 산정하여 관리방안을 제시하는 방법이 있다. 현재 전 세계적으로 사용되고 있는 범용토양유실량 산정공식(USLE)은 사용상의 편리성과 연간 토양유실량을 산정할 수 있는 이점이 있다. 뿐만 아니라 국내의 환경부에서는 USLE 공식을 적용한 '표토 침식 현황에 관한 고시'를 제정하여 유실되는 표토를 관리하고 있다. 하지만 USLE 공식을 구성하고 있는 인자 중 P factor는 경사도만을 고려하여 인자 값을 제시하고 있으며, 밭에 적용된 관리방법과 작물, 경운방법 등을 고려하지 않아 방법에 차이에 따른 발생되는 토양유실량에 차이가 발생하게 된다. 이러한 문제점을 고려하여 경작지의 경사도와 적용된 관리방안을 복합적으로 고려한 P factor 선정 체계가 필요한 시점이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 실제 경작지 조사를 통해 경작지 별 관리방안과 경사도를 고려한 P factor를 제안하고자 한다. 관리방안과 경사도를 복합적으로 고려한 P factor를 제안하기 위해 선정된 유역은 강원도 양구군 해안면 유역과 자운리 유역, 안동시 임동면 반변천 상류 유역을 선정하여 위치하고 있는 밭에 대한 현장조사를 진행하였다. 조사항목은 경작지의 경사도, 재배작물, 관리방법, 경운방법 등을 조사하였으며, 이를 바탕으로 경사도와 관리방법을 복합적으로 고려한 P factor를 재산정 하였다. P factor를 재산정한 결과 대상 유역 내 밭에 적용된 관리방법과 경운방법, 재배작물의 차이로 인해 상이한 값이 산정되었다. 또한 기존 P factor와 재산정된 P factor를 사용하여 산정한 토양유실량의 차이가 약 17%정도 나타났다. 따라서 본 연구를 통해 재산정된 P factor는 토양유실에 직간접적으로 관여하는 조건들을 복합적으로 고려한 P factor로써 정확한 토양유실량을 산정하는데 기여할 것으로 판단되며, 본 연구를 바탕으로 전국단위 USLE P factor를 산정을 위한 추가적인 연구가 필요하다고 판단된다.

The viability loss or death of weed seeds buried in soil can be induced by infrared irradiation which has good penetration in moist soil. By using this principle of pre-emergence soil-treatment, the study was carried out to obtain basic information needed to develop the effective weed control method for the production of less polluted agricultural products. An apparatus for irradiating infrared was constructed by using ceramic material with high emissivity. The LPG was used as fuel for producing infrared by heating ceramic material. The soil heated in this study was loam with four levels of moisture contents (0.6, 5.7, 10.7, 15.1 % wb). The temperature distribution was measured at various soil depths when soil with different moisture content was irradiated with infrared for three different times (30, 60, 90 sec). The soil depths with duration time of minimum 3 minutes over $80^{\circ}C$, temperature inducing viability loss of weed seeds, were investigated. When the moisture content of soil was 0.6 and 5.7 % wb, the soil depths which can induce viability loss of weed seeds was greatly increased with increasing irradiation time. However, any depths of soil tested in this study was not reached to the temperature of $80^{\circ}C$ when 30 seconds of irradiation time was applied on soil with moisture content of 10.7 or 15.1 % wb. Generally, the soil depth needed for viability loss of weed seeds was decreased with increasing moisture content of soil. Also, longer irradiation time was required to induce viability loss of weed seeds with increasing moisture content of soil.

배나무잎 이상반점증상의 발병환경 조건을 조사하고자 실험한 결과 주간 23$^{\circ}C$, 야간 18$^{\circ}C$ 온도조건에서 병징발현이 가장 심하였고 이보다 높은 온도인 28/23$^{\circ}C$와 낮은 온도인 18/13$^{\circ}C$에서는 발병이 아주 적었다. 배나무잎에 봉지를 피복하면 발병이 전혀 없거나 극히 저조하였다. 이것은 봉지내의 온도가 최고 46.8$^{\circ}C$까지 올라가 고온에 의하여 발병이 억제된 것으로 생각된다. 이병주 토양과 건전주 토양의 화학성을 조사한 결과 이병주 토양에서는 건전주 토양보다 유효인산량이 많게 나타났다. 토양수분이 많거나 적었을 때는 병징발현이 다소 늦어지기는 하나 최종 조사시 발병정도는 큰 차이를 나타내지 않았다.

경기도 여주군의 R골프장에서 페어웨이 건설 시 토양조사 및 적절한 토양개량이 실시되지 않아 배수불량지역의 발생한 것으로 한 것으로 분석되었다. 원인 분석결과 토양 경화로 인한 토양 물리성이 악화되어 있어, 투수에 의한 토양 하부층으로의 배수능력이 저조하여 배수 불량의 직접 원인이 되었다. 또 재배 지역의 토양과 이식 지역의 토성이 달라 이식 후 토양에 이질층이 형성되어 수분의 하층 이동이 원활하지 못해 배수 불량의 원인되고 잔디의 생육이 나빠지게 되었다. 배수불량의 결과로 인해 토양 내 산소가 부족하게 되어 토양이 환원 상태가 되면서 혐기성 미생물의 생육이 증가하고, 메탄가스가 축적되고 악취를 유발시키며 토양의 공기순환이 자유롭지 못해 식재된 잔디의 뿌리 생장에 악영향을 주어 결과적으로 잔디 생육이 불량하게 되는 연쇄적인 문제가 발생하였다. 골프장 운영 중 잔디 지반의 문제로 잔디 생육 불량을 초래 할 수 있는 여러 가지 요인들을 제거하기 위해 골프코스 건설시 모재 토양의 사전 조사 및 잔디 지반으로서의 적합성에 대하여 반드시 실험 분석하여야 하며, 건설 후 지반의 배수불량을 개선하기 위해서 배수구 설치, Sand capping, 잔디 보식, 토양개량재의 사용, 배토 등 경종적 관리 등의 방법을 이용하여 배수불량지역의 개선과 잔디생육 정상화를 시행하였다.

본 실험은 제초제인 2,4-D, dicamba, 및 MCPP의 토양에서의 이동을 확인하고 평가하기 위하여 토양종류에 따른 이들 제초제의 흡착과 휘발을 일정시간 동안 조사하였다. 제초제의 토양중 흡착은 batch isotherm으로 조사하였는데, MCPP와 2,4-D는 Freundlich식에서 직선으로 나타났으며, dicamba는 곡선으로 나타났다. Silty clay 토양에서 MCPP의 K$_d$ 및 K$_{fr}$값이 가장 높았으며, loamy sand 토양에서는 dicamba의 K$_d$, K$_{fr}$값이 가장 낮았다. 전반적으로 silty clay 토양에서 K$_d$, K$_{fr}$값이 높았고 N값은 낮았다. 토양에 살포된 제초제의 약 40%가 처리 25일 경과시 휘발되거나 분해되었으며, 이들 제초제중 2,4-D가 dicamba와 MCPP에 비하여 분해 및 휘발속도가 빨랐다. 모든 토양에서 이들 제초제의 분해 및 휘발속도는 공기에 노출된 초기에 현저하게 빠른 것으로 나타나고 있다. 본 연구의 결과는 자연환경중에서 이들 제초제의 이동 및 잔류 현황을 예견하는데 사용될 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.

In terms of understanding the water cycle and efficient water resource management, the importance of soil moisture has been highlighted. However, in Korea, the lack of qualified in-situ soil moisture data results in very limited utility. Even if satellite-based data are applied, the absence of ground reference data makes objective evaluation and correction difficult. The cosmic-ray neutron probe (CRNP) can play a key role in producing data for satellite data calibration. The installation of CRNP is non-invasive, minimizing damage to the soil and vegetation environment, and has the advantage of having a spatial representative for the intermediate scale. These characteristics are advantageous to establish an observation network in Korea which has lots of mountainous areas with dense vegetation. Therefore, this study was conducted to evaluate the applicability of the CRNP soil moisture observatory in Korea as part of the establishment of a Korean cOsmic-ray Soil Moisture Observing System (KOSMOS). The CRNP observation station was installed with the Gunup-ri observation station, considering the ease of securing power and installation sites and the efficient use of other hydro-meteorological factors. In order to evaluate the CRNP soil moisture data, 12 additional in-situ soil moisture sensors were installed, and spatial representativeness was evaluated through a temporal stability analysis. The neutrons generated by CRNP were found to be about 1,087 counts per hour on average, which was lower than that of the Solmacheon observation station, indicating that the Hongcheon observation station has a more humid environment. Soil moisture was estimated through neutron correction and early-stage calibration of the observed neutron data. The CRNP soil moisture data showed a high correlation with r=0.82 and high accuracy with root mean square error=0.02 m³/m³ in validation with in-situ data, even in a short calibration period. It is expected that higher quality soil moisture data production with greater accuracy will be possible after recalibration with the accumulation of annual data reflecting seasonal patterns. These results, together with previous studies that verified the excellence of CRNP soil moisture data, suggest that high-quality soil moisture data can be produced when constructing KOSMOS.
