The level of soil organic carbon (SOC) fluctuates in different types of forest stands: this variation can be attributed to differences in tree species, and the variables associated with soil, climate, and topographical features. The present review evaluates the level of SOC in different types of forest stands to determine the factors responsible for the observed variation. Mixed stands have the highest amount of SOC, while coniferous (both deciduous-coniferous and evergreen-coniferous) stands have greater SOC concentrations than deciduous (broadleaved) and evergreen (broadleaved) tree stands. There was a significant negative correlation between SOC and mean annual temperature (MAT) and sand composition, in all types of forest stands. In contrast, the silt fraction has a positive correlation with SOC, in all types of tree stands. Variation in SOC under different types of forest stands in different landscapes can be due to differences in MAT, and the sand and silt fraction of soil apart from the type of forests.

Vibration triaxial compression test was put in influence for liquefaction strength of fine grained soil of dredged and reclaimed ground and consideration for fine fraction content, relative density, overconsolidation ratio and plasticity index in this study. By the results of these test, the liquefaction strength increased with fine fraction content and the relative density, overconsolidation ratio incresed with liquefaction strength too. However, in the case of nonplastic silt was the smalist liquefaction strength which influenced by dilatancy and interlocking when silt content was 34.7%(average grading 0.12mm). Therefore, liquefaction strength of fine grained soil of dredged and reclaimed ground increased with fine fraction content so it will help to make lower liquefaction.

동결토의 강도는 흙 입자의 크기와 모양, 그리고 얼음과 부동 수분의 양과 같은 요인에 영향을 받는다. 본 연구에서는 동결토의 포화도와 실트 함량에 따라 변화하는 부동 수분의 양과 강도를 평가하고자 하였다. 시료는 주문진사, 실트, 그리고 증류수를 혼합하여 사용하였다. 실트의 함량비(SF)는 주문진사의 중량($W_{sand}$)에 대한 실트 중량($W_{silt}$)의 비율이 10%와 30%가 되도록 혼합하고, 포화도는 5%, 10%, 15%, 그리고 20%가 되도록 조성하였다. 시료는 $-10^{\circ}C$의 챔버 내에서 동결하였고, 동결 시간을 선정하기 위하여 24 시간, 48 시간, 그리고 72 시간동안 동결한 시료에 대하여 일축압축실험을 수행하였다. 일축압축강도가 동결 시간 24 시간 이후에 유사하여 동결 시간은 24 시간으로 선정하였다. 또한, 동결 과정 중 부동 수분의 양을 파악하기 위해 TDR 시스템을 이용하여 시료의 함수비를 모니터링 하였으며, 실트의 함량과 포화도가 증가함에 따라 부동 수분의 양이 증가하였다. 동결이 완료된 시료에 대하여 일축압축실험을 수행하였고, 포화도의 증가에 따라 일축압축강도가 지수함수적으로 증가하는 것으로 나타났다. 포화도가 증가함에 따라 부동 수분의 양이 증가하였으나, 동결에 사용된 물 즉, 얼음이 강도 발현에 보다 큰 영향을 미친 것으로 판단된다.

order to investigate physical characteristics and element concentrations of sediments, coastal bottom sediments were collected at 20 stations in the vicinity of Youngkwang Nuclear Power Plant. After air drying of samples in the laboratory. article size distribution was examined by Master sizer (X-350F), radio-activity by HPGe ${\gamma}$-spectrphotometer, and element concentrations by ICP-AES and AAS. According to particle size analysis , sediments are mainly composed of silt fraction weith 23% of sand, 65% of silt and 12% of clay on average. Most sediments are derived from muddy environment that silt dominates with the characteristics of 5.3${\varsigma}$ mean particle size, poorly sorted, very fine skewed and lepto-kurtic. Only two sediments are well sorted with sandy silt owing to wind, winnowing action, tide and current andits complex reactions. Element concentrations in the coastal bottom sediments are relatively high at finer sediment and show significant relationship with grain size. Index of geoaccumulation by heavy metals at every sampling station is classified as practically unpolluted. The radioactivities of the sediments were measured for 15 isotope elements, and 2 elements of K-40 and Cs-137 were detected in most sediments. The K-40 is the natural nuclide and the artificial nuclide of Cs-137 was thought to be derived from the fallout of past nuclear weapon test. The results of correlation coefficient between grain size and radioactivity shows that the activity of Cs-137 significantly increases in finer grain.

퇴적물 입도분석 방식에 따른 분석결과의 편차를 비교하였다. 한반도 주변해역에서 기존에 보고된 퇴적물 입도자료들은 연구기관에 따라 상당한 편차가 나타났으며, 실험실간 편차보정작업(Inter-lab calibration)이 요구된다. 퇴적물 입도분석 결과는 분석방식에 따라 상이하게 나타났다. 레이저 회절방식은 반복측정의 정확도가 매우 우수하였지만, 2-3 ${\mu}m$보다 세립한 계층의 함량을 과소측정하였다. 이와 반면에 입자침전속도에 근거한 입도분석 방식은 조립실트(5-6 ${\phi}$) 계층의 오차가 크게 나타났으며, 점토질 함량이 다소 과다하게 측정되었다. 퇴적물 입도분석에 가장 일반적으로 활용되는 체질과 피켓법은 0.5 ${\phi}$ 간격의 분석작업이 가장 효과적인 것으로 나타났다. 특히 피켓법의 경우 조립실트 계층의 영역에서 0.5 ${\phi}$ 간격의 분석작업이 요구되었다. 또한 사질 퇴적물의 체질방식에서는 하나의 체에 걸러지는 퇴적물 양에 따른 오차가 매우 중요한 것으로 나타났다.

Polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) compounds are highly carcinogenic chemicals and common groundwater contaminants that are observed to persist in soils. The adherence and slow release of PAHs in soil is an obstacle to remediation and complicates the assessment of cleanup standards and risks. Biological degradation of PAHs in soil has been an area of active research because biological treatment may be less costly than conventional pumping technologies or excavation and thermal treatment. Biological degradation also offers the advantage to transform PAHs into non-toxic products such as biomass and carbon dioxide. Ample evidence exists for aerobic biodegradation of PAHs and many bacteria capable of degrading PAHs have been isolated and characterized. However, the microbial degradation of PAHs in sediments is impaired due to the anaerobic conditions that result from the typically high oxygen demand of the organic material present in the soil, the low solubility of oxygen in water, and the slow mass transfer of oxygen from overlying water to the soil environment. For these reasons, anaerobic microbial degradation technologies could help alleviate sediment PAH contamination and offer significant advantages for cost-efficient in-situ treatment. But very little is known about the potential for anaerobic degradation of PAHs in field soils. The objectives of this research were to assess: (1) the potential for biodegradation of PAH in field aged soils under denitrification conditions, (2) to assess the potential for biodegradation of naphthalene in soil microcosms under denitrifying conditions, and (3) to assess for the existence of microorganisms in field sediments capable of degrading naphthalene via denitrification. Two kinds of soils were used in this research: Harbor Point sediment (HPS-2) and Milwaukee Harbor sediment (MHS). Results presented in this seminar indicate possible degradation of PAHs in soil under denitrifying conditions. During the two months of anaerobic degradation, total PAH removal was modest probably due to both the low availability of the PAHs and competition with other more easily degradable sources of carbon in the sediments. For both Harbor Point sediment (HPS-2) and Milwaukee Harbor sediment (MHS), PAH reduction was confined to 3- and 4-ring PAHs. Comparing PAH reductions during two months of aerobic and anaerobic biotreatment of MHS, it was found that extent of PAHreduction for anaerobic treatment was compatible with that for aerobic treatment. Interestingly, removal of PAHs from sediment particle classes (by size and density) followed similar trends for aerobic and anaerobic treatment of MHS. The majority of the PAHs removed during biotreatment came from the clay/silt fraction. In an earlier study it was shown that PAHs associated with the clay/silt fraction in MHS were more available than PAHs associated with coal-derived fraction. Therefore, although total PAH reductions were small, the removal of PAHs from the more easily available sediment fraction (clay/silt) may result in a significant environmental benefit owing to a reduction in total PAH bioavailability. By using naphthalene as a model PAH compound, biodegradation of naphthalene under denitrifying condition was assessed in microcosms containing MHS. Naphthalene spiked into MHS was degraded below detection limit within 20 days with the accompanying reduction of nitrate. With repeated addition of naphthalene and nitrate, naphthalene degradation under nitrate reducing conditions was stable over one month. Nitrite, one of the intermediates of denitrification was detected during the incubation. Also the denitrification activity of the enrichment culture from MHS slurries was verified by monitoring the production of nitrogen gas in solid fluorescence denitrification medium. Microorganisms capable of degrading naphthalene via denitrification were isolated from this enrichment culture.

The Hg, Cd, Cu, Mn, and Zn in bottom sediments of han river and their tributaries were analyzed to evaluate the seasonal variations of heavy metals. Leaching tests were also performed for estimation of availability of heavy metal retention in sediments. Sediments of Anyang stream showed the highest concentration of heavy metal in the sediment samples. Heavy metal concentration was heavily depended upon the heavy metal source of tributaries of han river and particle distribution. Clay and silt had higher concentration of heavy metals than very fine san and fine sand due to difference of retention capability of heavy metal. The highest concentration of heavy metal was observed in bottom sediments irrespective of sites investigated. Heavy metals and ignition loss showed positive relations, and higher relationships with p-value <0.01 were observed between copper and lead. copper and zinc, and depended on the pH condition of leaching test, and leachated fraction increased with decrease of the pH.

Mineralogy of sand, silt and clay fractions from the five chronosequence soils of Jeju Island is studied with the X-ray, TEM and SEM techniques. Soils of Songag and Donghong situated at lower elevations are generally developed on relatively of ash or alluvial deposits and contain mainly ferromagnesian minerals and feldspars, with some quartz, mica and volcanic glass. Crystalline minerals are dominant in the clay fraction; halloysite and vermiculite are abundant but small amounts of allophane are present. Clay migration results in well developed ferrigargillan, Soils of Pyeongdae and Heugag located at higher elevations are developed on relatively young volcanic ash with some contamination of continental aeolian dust probably containing quartz which may be come from acid ash shower. The absence of clay illuivation is due to the dominance of allophane. This clay mineral is associated with some gibbsite, imogolite and halloysite.

국내에서 인공쇄석사의 점유율은 30% 이상이며 계속적인 증가추세에 있다. 국내 인공쇄석사는 주로 화강암류를 그 원암으로 이용하고 있다. 인공모래 제조공정 중에 생기는 스러지(63마이크론 이하입자)는 침전제를 이용하여 분리하며, 그 양은 중량비 15% 내외이다. X-선 회절분석에 의하면 스러지 구성광물은 석영, 장석류가 3/4 이상을 차지하며, 그밖에 방해석 등과 각종 점토광물류를 포함한다. 점토류 중에는 운모 및 고령토류가 우세하고, 녹니석, 질석과 함께 스멕타이트류도 포함된다. 쥬라기 화강암류에서 발생되는 스러지는 대체적으로 백악기의 것에 비해서 더 많은 고령토류, 녹니석 및 질석류를 포함한다. 화학조성에 있어서도 화강암류와 스러지의 사이에 명확한 차이를 보여준다. $SiO_2$ 및 $Na_2O$ 성분 외에는 스러지가 화강암 원석류보다 더 높은 함량을 나타내어, 그들이 풍화작용에 의한 증가임을 나타낸다. 스러지에 대한 입도분석에 의하면, 토양조직 분류에서의 Silt loam 정도에 해당하며, 변수두 투수실험에 의해 측정된 수리전도도에 의하여서도 silt 및 sand가 우세하게 포함된 특성을 나타낸다. 이와 같이, 현재 우리나라에서 버려지고 있는 스러지는 silt 및 점토입자함량에 의하여 불투수성을 야기하므로 산업폐기물로 간주되어 환경오염물로 분류되고 있다.
