  • Winter turfgrass injury is one of the critical problems of many golf courses in Korea. Turfgrass loss from freezing injury due to low temperature leads to many types of damages including weed invasion, increased herbicide cost, increased soil erosion, and expensive re-establishment. Although Kentucky bluegrass (Poa pratensis L.) which is the most widely used among cool-season grasses in Korea is well known as cold tolerance species, freezing injuries to Kentucky bluegrass during winter are often found. Protecting the turfgrass crown is necessary to recover from low temperature stress in winter because shoots and roots can be recovered from the crown. Turf covers may protect the crowns from direct low temperatures and desiccation. Six different turf covers were installed to cover Kentucky bluegrass during a period of low temperatures. Turf covers had positive effects for spring green-up of Kentucky bluegrass based on the study. Applying any type of turf covers on Kentucky bluegrass resulted in an increase average and minimum temperature compared to the uncovered plot. Among turf covers, clear PVC film without holes produced the longest root length and the highest turfgrass quality.

  • Korean territories has formed about 70% of mountainous areas that have acidified serious level to average pH 4-5. There are a number of abandoned metal mines about 1,000 in Korea. However, mine tailings and waste rock included heavy metals are exposed to long-term environment without prevention facility or treatment system. Thus, ongoing management and monitoring of soil environment are required. Most of abandoned mine scattered in forest areas of slopes. Soil erosion due to continuous rainfall in the slopy areas can cause the secondary pollution by the influence eutrophication of water system and the productivity loss of the plant. Therefore, this study would like to estimate pH leaching rate by artificial rainfall using waste neutralization-agent in lysimeter. Moreover, the potentially of secondary pollution related to precipitation is figured out through the experiments, and the optimal planting methods would examinate after neutralizing treatment in soil. Experiments composed three kinds of lysimeter; lysimeter 1 had filled only acidic soil, lysimeter 2 had neutralized soil, and lysimeter 3 had planting plants after neutralized soil. In the results, lysimeter 2 showed the lowest pH leaching, and there is not specific relativity with pH leaching of the seasonal characteristics.

  • This study was conducted to offer preliminary data for a natural restoration by the actual condition survey of quarries after extracting rock materials. The mountain restoration area according to a farming and fishing village organize project was restored by green landscape after quarry. However, planting tree species were died due to poor maintenance and administration after restoration works and surface soil loss and erosion occurred during a summer rainfall season because of poor slope greening. It will be needed to review restoration constructions to establish a natural friendly and flawless construction through the selection of optimum restoration works and the examination of soil and geological characteristics. In addition, it is necessary to apply cost-reducing program of restoration constructions. Quarry areas could be restored by the selection of simple and optimum construction works because the most areas were dominant in earth-sand rocks, soft-rocks, and weather-rocks. In addition, the restoration construction project should be examined thoroughly by restoration specialists during green restoration planning and review processes.

  • 토양유실은 농업환경지표를 비롯한 국제 규범에서 농업에 의한 환경오염의 핵심문제로 제기되고 있다. 이러한 토양유실의 문제점을 해결하기 위해 USLE를 기반으로 한 SATEEC모형을 사용하여 토양유실량 및 유사량을 산정하였다. SATEEC모형은 USLE입력자료와 DEM을 이용하여 산정된 토양유실량 과 GA-SDR모듈을 통해 산정된 유달률(Sediment Delivery Ratio, SDR)을 통하여 최종유출구에서의 유사량을 산정한다. 많은 연구자들은 최종유출구에서의 유사량을 실측유사량과 비교하여 비슷하게 모의되면 유역의 특성을 잘 반영한다고 판단하므로 SATEEC모형의 단점인 토양유실량이 과하게 산정되는 문제점을 중요하게 생각하지 않는다. 하지만 SATEEC 모형의 결과값인 유사량의 신뢰도를 향상시키기 위해서는 토양유실량 검증을 통한 정확한 입력자료 구축이 필요하다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 여러개의 토양유실량 시나리오를 만들어 이에 따른 SATEEC 모형의 유사량을 비교/평가하고, 이를 이용하여 토양유실량의 검증이 필요함을 제시하고자 한다. 본 연구에서 사용한 토양유실량 시나리오는 총 4개로써, 시나리오 1은 SATEEC모형을 이용하여 산정된 토양유실량이며, 시나리오2~4는 ArcGIS를 사용하여 기존의 토양유실량 값에 ${\pm}0.25$의 범위를 주어 새롭게 산정된 토양유실량으로 SATEEC모형을 이용한 유사량 산정시 입력자료로 활용하였다. 그 결과 SATEEC모형을 이용하여 산정된 토양유실량은 시나리오별로 차이를 보였다. 또한 SATEEC GA-SDR모듈을 통해 예측된 토양유실량 값과 실측유사량을 이용하여 유달률을 산정하였으며 유달률도 토양유실량 시나리오별로 차이를 보였다. 따라서 SATEEC모형을 이용하여 최종유출구에서의 유사량 산정 결과 토양유실량의 차이에도 불구하고 유사량은 거의 비슷한 값을 나타내고 있으며, 최종유출구에서의 모의된 예측 유사량이 실측유사량과 비교 시 R2=0.688, EI=0.643 정도로 실측유사량과 비슷한 경향을 나타냈다. 따라서 SATEEC모형을 이용하여 유사량 산정시 먼저 문헌을 통한 토양유실량 검증이 필요하리라 판단되며, 문헌을 통해 토양유실량 검증 후 정확한 입력자료를 구축하여 유역에서의 유사량 저감을 위한 최적관리 기법 분석에 사용할 수 있도록 프로세서를 구축해야 할 것이라 판단된다.

  • Despite the widespread use of GIS over the past ten years, it has been limited application for regional modeling of pollutant loadings such as sediment, nitrogen, and phosphorus(non-point source pollution), The goals of this study were to: select important processes and parameters of watersheds that contribute to non-point source pollution degradation, develop a ranking model to use the environmental geologic data and verify the model by comparing results with existing water quality data(Chung-ju Lake) for specific watersheds, The GIS database consisted of topography, geology, soils, precipitation, rainfall erosivity, land use, and watershed boundaries. The index(NPSP) for assessing non-point source pollution was comprised in the following three seperate components: soil loss index(SLI) assesses the potential soil erosion and sedim-ent delivery from field to stream; run-off potential ratio(R.P.R) predicts the potential production of surface runoff; chloropgyll-a index ranks the potential manure(animal or human) production within a watershed. The GIS model was a valuable tool to assess the impact of environmental pollation in watersheds.

  • The collapse behavior of ground subsidence caused by continuous loss of particles depends on the saturated condition and density of the ground. In this study, types of ground subsidence were classified based on the saturated condition and each type was performed on the different relative density to analyze the influence factors on the collapse behavior by distinct element method. According to analysis results, the relatively small amount of settlement occurred on the dense ground and a cavity was created under dense-unsaturated ground. In contrast, loose ground showed the large amount of settlement and collapsed immediately without cavity formation even if the unsaturated ground was simulated. The results demonstrated that because the relative density has influence on the mechanical interlocking and saturated condition has influence on the inter-particle force, these are important factors to change the collapse behavior.

  • The steep-sloped agricultural land was severely damaged by rainfall events during July and August every year. The objective of this study was to investigate an effects of intensive rainfall to the soil properties of the steep-sloped agricultural land. Survey sites including the Sacheon myeon area were located in Gangneung, those were severely damaged from a forest fire in April 2000. Surveys were taken at these sites after two years of forest fire and severe rainfall events in August 2002, which included an event that poured with 870 mm of rainfall in a day. After this storm, soil erosion, burying, and flooding were observed. Severe soil loss was found at lower soil-depths, greater slopes, longer slope lengths, and concave landscapes. Soil loss and land slides were often found at areas with having a coarser textures, higher bulk densities, lower water holding capacity, and lower rates of soil aggregation. Crop growth stagnation was found at the site of crop restoration because of low soil fertility and poor drainage caused by the abrupt textural changes. In conclusion, it is necessary to manage the steep-slope agricultural land based on environmental impact assessment data of macro morphological and physical characteristics by intensive rainfall.

  • The frequent regional torrential or heavy rain and typhoon mostly caused by climate change has resulted in sediment disasters particularly in mountainous or hilly areas. More than 65% of South Korea is mountainous and development and rapid urbanization has brought lots of steep sloping industrial complexes, which are adjacent to cities. Such continuous urbanization and industrialization can result in an increase in serious damage to those places. Korea has very high population density so sediment disaster could result in a tremendous loss of property and life. A recent 10-year (2001~2010) study of the average annual loss shows 68 casualties and property loss of 1.7044 trillion Won(?), which indicates a 20% and 25% decrease for both life and property, respectively, but urban areas are experiencing increasing damage. In this paper, a comprehensive simulator composed by references, analyses, and the recent technologies was applied to visualize the scale of the damaged Woomyeon-san (Mt.) and verify the performance of the simulator.
