Immobilization and mineralization of the tracer nitrogen $^{15}(NH_4)_2SO_4$ applied in submerged soil condition with compost and rice straw to coarse loamy and clay soils were studied at different amounts of applied nitrogen. About 90-, 60-, and 50% of added nitrogen were immobilized at the 10 days of incubation when 0.8-, 1.6-, and 2.4mg of fertilizer nitrogen were added with compost and rice straw in both of coarse loamy and clay soils, respectively. Especially, more pronounced immobilization took place in coarse loamy soil than clay soil. Results obtained from nitrogen fraction showed that the mineral nitrogen was increased with addition of rice straw in clay soil than coarse loamy soil. The amount and index of aminosugar-N and humin-N were variable between soil series and organic matter. Especially, more pronounced amounts of amino acid-N and unknown-N were observed with application of rice straw in coarse loamy soil and compost in clay soil, respectively.

SWAT 모형에서는 중간유출, 침루, 토양 증발, 식물에 의한 증산 등의 수문과정을 모사하기 위해서 토양 수대를 토양의 물리적 특성에 따라 몇 개의 층으로 구분하고, 각 층별로 순차적으로 각 성분량을 계산한다. 이 때 지표유출로 인한 영양물질 이송이 기작되는 영역을 설정하기 위해서 사용자가 입력한 첫 번째 토양층을 강제적으로 둘로 구분하여 상부 10mm의 새로운 토양층이 자동 생성되도록 알고리즘화되어 있다. 그러나, 동일한 토양 특성을 가진 층을 임의적으로 둘로 구분하는 것은 토양 물리적 관점에서 보면 적절하지 않으며, 또한 생성된 매우 얇은 상부 10 mm 토양층으로 인해서 포장용수량을 초과하는 과잉수가 커서 경사가 급한 유역이나 토양층의 투수성이 매우 큰 지역에 모형을 적용할 경우에는 중간유출량이 비현실적으로 크게 계산되는 문제를 수반한다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 중간유출이 크게 계산되는 문제점을 해결하고 토양층내의 수분 거동을 보다 현실적으로 모사하기 위해서 합체-분리 (combining-partitioning) 방식의 토양층 구조화 기법을 고안하고 SWAT의 지표하 유출 계산 모듈에 새롭게 추가하였다. 모형 개선이 수문 및 수질 성분 모의에 미치는 영향을 평가하기 위해서 충주댐 상류유역을 대상으로 모델링을 수행하고 상대비교를 한 결과, 토양수분, 중간 및 지하수유출, 인 순환에 미치는 영향이 가장 큰 것으로 분석되었다.

Defining soil quality in scopes and applications is one of the prerequisite for the sustainable management of soil environment to orient researches, strategies and policies. However, definition of soil quality is controversial depending upon a viewpoint of soil science or soil environment. Soil quality can be, irrespective of the disciplines, defined as the capacity of a soil to function within ecosystem boundaries to sustain biological productivity, maintain environmental quality and promote plant and animal health. Common to all of the soil quality concepts can be summarized as the capacity of soil to function effectively at present and in the future. The OECD includes soil quality as one of the agri-environment indicators. This article intends to i) summarize the current soil quality research, and ii) provide information on protocol of soil quality assessment. A framework for soil quality was divided into three steps: indicator selection as minimum data set (MDS), scoring of the selected indicators, and integration of scores into soil quality index. Korean government suggested possible physical and chemical indicators such as bulk density and organic matter for paddy and upland soils to OECD. The framework of soil quality assessment is not yet implemented in Korea. Countries such as USA, Canada and New Zealand have constructed the framework on soil quality assessment and developed a user-friendly version of soil quality assessment tools to evaluate the integrated effects of various soil management practices. The protocol provided in this review might help policymakers, scientists, and administrators improve awareness about soil quality and understand the way of soil environment management.

Determination of N mineralization and nitrification potentials of selected Piedmont soils of North Carolina requires a better understanding of the influences of incorporated plant residues. The net N mineralization and nitrification were significantly influenced by the soil types and by plant species. The net N mineralization and nitrification of soils mixed with plant residues were consistently increased with successional incubation periods. The net mineralization and nitrification ranged from $9.77{\mu}g/g$ to $143.80{\mu}g/g$, and from $5.31{\mu}g/g$ to $145.66{\mu}g/g$ during the incubation periods, respectively. The net N mineralization was more influenced by NO3-N than by NH4-N. Overall, the greatest proportions of net N mineralization and nitrification occurred in Chewacla and Wehadkee and lowest in Enon and Mecklenburg. For the plant residues, the net N mineralization and nitrification were observed to be lowest in corn and highest in soybean. In a low-input agricultural systems, soybean may be planted as cover crop which may improve the nitrogen status of selected Piedmont soils of North Carolina.

강우 유출 시 지표면 토양수분포화도는 직접유출량 및 지하수 저류에 영향을 미칠 수 있기 때문에 강우에 의한 유역 유출량 산정에서 토양수분포화도는 보다 실제와 유사한 모의 결과를 도출하는데 중요한 인자가 될 수 있다. 기존의 모형 기반의 유출량 산정 연구에서 토양수분포화도의경우 강수량, 하천수위, 유량, 지하수위 등 타 수문순환 요소에 비하여 관측 지점 및 관측 자료가 부족하기 때문에 유역 내 수문환경 특성에 따라 가정 된 값을 입력하여 유출량을 산정하였다. 최근 IoT, 5G 통신 등 정보 기술의 혁신과 이상 홍수에 의한 피해 저감을 위한 실시간 유출량 해석 모형 개발 등에 적용할 경우 모의 결과가 실제와 매우 다르게 나타나는 경우가 발생할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 토양수분포화도의 지상 관측 자료와 위성 관측 자료를 동기화 하는 기법을 개발함으로써 중권역 단위의 유출량 산정 정확도를 향상시키고자 하였다. 기존의 지상 관측 자료는 토양수분포화도의 비교적 정확한 데이터를 제공하나 관측 자료를 유역의 대푯값으로 적용할 수 있는 지에 대한 추가 검증이 필요하다. 위성 관측자료는 유역 전반의 토양수분포화도 정보를 관측할 수 있으나 고해상도의 자료를 제공하지 못하기 때문에 유역 전체에 일관된 데이터를 적용할 수밖에 없는 한계가 발생한다. 지상 관측자료와 위성관측자료의 동기화 기법을 개발함으로써 본 연구진은 중권역 단위의 유역 내 비교적 정확한 토양수분포화도 데이터를 적용할 수 있도록 하였다. 본 연구의 결과물은 유출량 해석 결과의 정확도를 높임으로써 급격한 호우 사상 발생에 따른 이상홍수에 대응할 수 있는 유역 물 관리 대책의 기초 자료로 활용 할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

The purpose of this study was to Investigate the effect of environmental conditions on the degradation of total petroleum hydrocarbons(TPH) in soil. The soil used for this study was sandy loam. Target contaminant, diesel oil, was spiked at 10.000mgTPH/kg dry soil. Moisture content was controlled to 50%, 70%, and 90% of field capacity of the soil. Temperature was controlled to $5^{\circ}C$, $10^{\circ}C$, $20^{\circ}C$, and $30^{\circ}C$. The active degradation of TPH was observed at the moisture contents of 50% and 70% of field capacity, and temperature of $10^{\circ}C$ to $30^{\circ}C$. Degradation rate of n-alkanes was about two times greater than that of TPH. Volatilization loss of TPH was about 2% of initial concentration. Biocide control and no aeration experiments indicated that removal of TPH was primarily occurred by biodegradation under aerobic condition.

Energy rich rice straw was subjected to biological processes involving the transformation of added nitrogen. A part of soil ammonium nitrogen was steadily exhausted when energy rich rice straw was decomposed. More vigorous transformation of added nitrogen ocurred during the first 5 days of incubation period than after 10 days of incubation period. Furthermore, transformation of added nitrogen occurred more markedly when more rice straw and less nitrogen were added. Remineralization of immobilized nitrogen did not take place in this experiment with 50 days of incubation.

Recently, the number of damages on social infrastructure has increased due to natural disasters and the frequency of earthquake events that are higher than magnitude 3 has increased in South Korea. Liquefaction was found near the epicenter of a 5.4 magnitude earthquake that occurred in Pohang, South Korea, in 2017. To explore increases in soil moisture index due to soil liquefaction, changes in the remote exploration index by the land cover before and post-earthquake occurrence were analyzed using liquefaction feasibility index and multi-cyclical Landsat-8 satellite images. We found that the soil moisture index(SMI) in the liquefaction region immediately after the earthquake event increased significantly using the Normal Vegetation Index(NDVI) and Surface Temperature(LST).

This research has been done to investigate influence of soil physical and chemical properties on forest environmental change by fired pine forest in Koseong, Kangwondo. The sample sites were divided by not-fired sites(NF), not-cutting site after fired(FNC), cutting and planting sites after fired(FCP) and cutting and not-planting sites after fired(FC). Soil texture of whole sites was sandy clay loam. Sand content of NF top soil were lower than those of sub soil and clay content were higher, while FNC, FCP and FC sand content of top soil were higher than those of sub soil. Total porosity didn't differ between the sites. Coarse porosity and permeability had the increasing order as NF> FNC> FCP> FC, but fine porosity and bulk density had the opposite trends. Because forest fire removed the vegetation and then soil erosion was accelerated, forest environmental changes by forest fire greatly degraded soil porosity and permeability which were indices for forest water retention, so that soil physical properties were deteriorated. Both top and sub soil pHs of NF and FNC were higher than those of FCP and FC. Organic matter content and total nitrogen content of top and sub soils were high in order as NF> FNC> FCP> FC. Cation exchange capacities and exchangeable cation(K+, Na+, $Ca^2$+, $Mg^2$+) content in top soils were higher than those in sub soils, and in order as NF> FNC> FCP> FC, to be compared by the sites. Those mean that forest fire result from the erosion of top soil layers.

Detail downward variation records for paleomagnetic, XRD, photospectrogram, TOC results were obtained from the soil developed along the Hantan River, Gungpyeong-ri, Cheongsan-myeon, Yeoncheon-gun Gyeonggi-do. The unconsoildated sediments underlain by the Jeongok Quaternary Basalt indicates that the paleosol formed twice with different ages, as apparently indicated by sedimentological, paleomagnatic, and soil chemical properties. The paleosols recorded paleoclimate and paleoenvironments of about 271.21$\pm$89.8 ka before eruption of the Quaternary Jeongok Basalt.
