The objectives of this study were to introduce the methods of soil respiration measurement, to review soil respiration studies conducted in Korea, and to suggest potential issues generated from using various methods for soil respiration measurement. According to the measurement principles, the methods of soil respiration measurements are classified as: alkali absorption method (AA), closed chamber method (CC), closed dynamic chamber method (CDC), and open flow method (OF). Based on the litereaure review on soil respiration studies in Korea, the CDC method was mostly used by the researchers (62%), followed by the AA (17%), OF (13%) and CC (8%) methods. Along with these methods, various instruments were used such as LI-6400-09, EGM-3, EGM-4, and automatic soil respiration chamber. Most of the soil respiration measurements were carried out in forest ecosystems and the reported soil respiration showed a wide range of variations from 130 to 900 mg $CO_2\;m^{-2}h^{-1}$. Continuous monitoring of soil respiration with minimal disturbance and the potential inconsistency in measurements are still the challenges facing the researchers, causing a paucity in quality datasets of sufficient quantity. Few attempts of intercomparison among different methods hinder the data users from synthetic analysis and assessment of the collected datasets. In order to better estimate soil carbon budget and understand their exchange mechanisms in key ecosystems of Korea, it is necessary to measure soil respiration at various plant functional types, soils, and climate conditions over a decadal time scale along with the study on the partitioning of soil respiration into autotrophic and heteorotrophic components.

Environmental impact assessment has been implemented for more than 30 years in Korea. During that period, various amendments were carried out about target plan and assessment factors. However, in current environmental impact assessment act, only a few factors has been considered for soil environment assessment. This study analyzes the national and foreign environmental impact assessment guidelines on soil related factors and figures out the problems and implications of Korean environmental impact assessment. In Korea, water quality, topography and geology, hydraulics and hydrology, and soil contamination were analyzed as a soil related factors. The main assessment targets were pollution related factors such as soil pollution levels, amount of rainfall runoff, and non-point sources. However, in the case of foreign guidelines, soil compaction, soil sealing, and soil salinization is being analyzed for evaluating function and quality of soil environment. The revision of soil-related factors are needed for sustainable development of Korea.

BACKGROUND: Many studies on artificial lighting have been recently performed to investigate its effect on agricultural products with good quality. This review was aimed at comparing the effects of artificial light on functional metabolites of the plants that were grown in greenhouses and growth chamber. METHODS AND RESULTS: It has been summarized that artificial lighting both in growth chambers and greenhouses caused different functional metabolites patterns depending on light quality. Even though the same light quality was applied, different patterns in metabolites were observed in different plant species. For the same species, supplementation of the same light quality in both growth chambers and greenhouses did cause different functional metabolites patterns. CONCLUSION: Artificial lighting caused different patterns in functional metabolites of plants grown in greenhouses and growth chambers, depending on the light quality and/or plant species. The manipulation of plant growth and functional metabolites would be possible by engineering the light qualities, but knowledge on proper lighting condition depending on plant species and growth places would be necessary.

비소로 오염된 토양, 하천 퇴적물 및 광미의 복원할 때, 토양 세척 공정에서 중요한 인자인 비소의 화학적 결합형태와 세척제에 따른 용출특성과 고효율 세척 및 세척액의 재활용도를 높이기 위한 공정을 바탕으로 토양세척장비를 설계하였다. 화학적 결합형태에 있어서 토양은 잔류 결합형태가 주되고, 퇴적물의 경우는 철산화물과의 결합형태가 강하며, 광미는 황화물과의 결합에 따른 잔류형태와 철산화물과의 결합형태가 상당부분을 차지한다. 세척제에 따른 용출특성으로부터, 철산화물과 황화물과 결합하고 있는 비소의 화학적 결합형태를 파괴하면서 비소를 추출할 수 있는 용제로 HCl, Oxalate, EDTA, M$_2$O$_2$를 사용하였다. 추출 결과, 비소가 철산화물과 결합한 형태가 비중이 높을수록 EDTA 나 Oxalate가 효율이 높으며, 황화물에 대해서는 HCl과 $H_2O$$_2$이 상대적으로 높은 추출 효율을 보였다. 구성된 세척조는 밀폐실린더형과 스크류이송형 세척조로 구성되어 각각 혼합교반에 의한 세척과 토양입자 분급에 따른 세척이 가능하다. 세척 공정중 최적 산도 조절이 중요한 인자가 되며, 세척액의 재활용도를 높일때, 세척수에 용해되어 있는 비소 및 중금속과 미립자의 동시 제거를 위한 응집 침전조에서 응집제에 의해서 미립자와 함께 제거하는 응집, 침전 및 분리공정을 배치하였다.

A series of experiments is performed to measure radon concentration in the near-surface soil gas at the four locations (Cheju-Si, Seoguipo-Si, Taejeong-eup, Seongsan-eup) in Cheju Island, using CR-39 detectors placed inside radon cups. Two types of radon cups are installed in shallow holes of about 15 cm in diameter and 50cm in depth. The optimum etching conditions, i.e., the concentration of NaOH solution, etchant temperature and etching time, are found to be 625N, $70^{\circ}C$ and 5.5 hours for CR-39 detectors. A typical conversion factor of radon cup is calculated as $$1track/mm^3{\cdot}30day=0.059Bq/{\ell}$$. Average radon concentrations over 30 days measured in Cheju Island from May 1, 1987 to April 23, 1988 are $3.1{\pm}0.3Bq/{\ell}$ for open radon cups and $1.7{\pm}0.2Bq/{\ell}$ for closed radon cups.

This study was conducted to quantify the soil respiratory $CO_2$ emission (SR) in an apple orchard and to determine its relationship with key environmental factors such as air temperature, soil temperature and soil moisture content. Experiment was made over the period from 23 April 2007 to 31 March 2008 in 'Fuji' apple orchard of National Institute of Horticultural and Herbal Science in Suwon, Gyeonggi-do, Korea. The SR was measured by using the automatic opening/closing chamber system based on a closed method. Diurnal variations in SR showed an increase around 0700 hours with increasing soil temperature, its peak between 1400 and 1500 hours, and then a gradual decrease thereafter. Daily variations in SR depended largely on soil and air temperatures over the year, ranging from 0.8 to 13.7 g $CO_2$ $m^{-2}d^{-1}$. During the rainy spell in summer (July$\sim$Autumn) with higher temperature and more precipitation, the SR was lower than that in the spring (May$\sim$June) with moderate temperature. The SR showed a significant exponential relationship with soil temperature ($r^2=0.800$) and air temperature ($r^2=0.805$), but not with soil moisture content ($r^2=0.160$). The $Q_{10}$ values of SR with annual soil temperature and air temperature were 2.0 and 1.9, respectively. The annually integrated SR was 19.6 ton $CO_2$ $ha^{-1}$.

In KAERI, about 3,100 drums containing soil have been stored. The soils were generated from the decommissioning process of Seoul office in 1988. Those soils occupy about $27\%$ of the capacity of the radioactive waste storage facility and make it difficult to maintain the storage facility. The major radioactive nuclides contained in the soils were expected to be Co-60 and Cs-137. As 16 years have passed, the radioactivity of those nuclides have decayed a lot. In this study, as a basis of regulatory clearance, radionuclides and radioactivity concentration of soils were analyzed. As a result, there are only Co-60 and Cs-137 in soils as ${\gamma}-emitters$. The total concentration of ${\gamma}-emitters$ in soil is analyzed as about $0.01\;{\sim}\;0.12$ Bq/g. As the soils are expected to be regulatory cleared in 2009, those concentrations will decay to be less than 0.1 Bq/g. This concentration can be meet the regulatory criteria suggested by IAEA. The regulatory clearance will be proceeded based on not only the assessment results of environmental influence but also related regulations.

1.퇴비 온도의 상승에 비례하여 폐사계 체내의 온도도 상승하여 퇴적식 퇴비단의 경우 $55^{\circ}C$내외의 고온지속기간이 약 30일정도 유지되었다. 반면에 토양 중에 매립된 폐사계의 체내 온도는 발효 전 기간 동안 $30^{\circ}C$ 이상으로 상승하지 못한 채 주변토양 온도와 거의 비슷한 수준을 유지하였다. 토양온도는 외기온의 변화에 즉각적인 반응을 보이지 않았다. 2. 시험용 발효조 내에서의 송풍여부에 따른 퇴비의 발효온도 변화추이는 송풍 처리구에서는 퇴비화 3일째에 최고온도 $68^{\circ}C$를 기록한 반면에 무송풍구에서는 퇴비화 5일째에 최고온도 $72^{\circ}C$를 기록하였다. 3. 퇴비단 표층에서 채취된 시료에서 검출된 $H_2S$와 $CH_3$SH 농도는 송풍 처리구에 있어서는 퇴비화 개시 후 20일 경과 후 각 각 28.5, 16.0 ppb 수준을 나타냈고 35일 경과 시에는 각각 57.7, 11.7 ppb, $CH_3SH$의 경우에는 23.7, 9.9 ppb 수준의 발생량을 기록하는 등 전반적으로 송풍처리구가 무송풍 처리구에 비해 악취가스의 발생량이 상대적으로 낮았다. 4. 폐사계를 밀폐용기 내에서 발표 시 수거된 침출수 중의 미생물 수가 토양매립 상태 하에서 수거된 침출수 중의 미생물 수보다 더 적은 경향을 보이고 있다. 5. 퇴비단 내에서 발효에 따른 폐사계 중량은 최초 3일간에 급격히 감소하고 시간의 경과에 따라 그 감소속도는 줄어든다. 발효온도가 높을수록 조직의 분해속도가 빨라지고 폐사계의 중량감소 속도도 빨라졌다. 6. 일반 퇴비와 폐사계를 발효시킨 퇴비 사이에 비료성분과 중금속 함량의 유의적인 차이는 발견되지 않았다.
