The medicinal plant, Kanzo (Glycyrrhiza uralensis), mainly grows on arid lands. The root of Kanzo has been compounded about 70% of herbal medicines in Japan because it has an important medicinal element. In addition, in recent years, the expansion of desertification becomes a serious problem. The cause is chiefly man activity such as over gathering plants1). The aim of this study is to prevent desertification by cultivating Kanzo with high quality. The first step is to grow Kanzo for greening. The second step is to stably produce the root with high medicinal quality. This paper presents growth properties of cultivating Kanzo by bottom watering method, which is under constant groundwater level. The main results of this paper are as follows: (1) The lower water content of cultivating soil is, the longer the root length is, (2) Growth of Kanzo is influenced by soil types, (3) Thick primary roots grow directly and vertically in low water content. On the other hand, thin secondary roots grow curvedly and horizontally in high water content and (4) Measuring evapo-transpiration velocity is the effective method to evaluate roots' growth tendency in the field.

본 연구는 몽골 반건조 지역 현지에서 토양 개량이 묘목의 활착 및 생장에 미치는 효과를 알아보기 위해 수행되었다. 이를 위하여 알칼리성 사질 토양인 연구대상지에 2년생 백양나무(Populus sibirica)와 비술나무(Ulmus pumila) 묘목을 심고 질소(시비량에 따라 2수준), 황, 인공보습제, 황토가공소재 등을 처리하였다. 4개월 뒤, 두 수종의 묘목 활착률은 질소 시비량의 증가에 따라 감소하였다. 일반적으로 질소의 시비는 양분을 공급하여 묘목의 활착률 및 생장을 높이는 것으로 알려져 있다. 그러나 본 연구 결과에서 나타난 활착률 감소는 과다시비로 인한 토양 삼투압의 증가에 의한 것으로 보인다. 두 수종 모두 황토가공물질 처리구에서 근원경 생장에 유의한 증가가 나타났다. 그리고 백양나무의 경우 인공보습제 처리구에서도 근원경 생장이 유의하게 증가하였는데, 이는 백양나무가 건조에 내성이 있음에도 불구하고 수분 요구도가 높은 포플러속에 속하기 때문인 것으로 보인다. 반면 황 처리는 두 수종의 활착률과 근원경 생장 모두에서 효과가 없는 경향이 나타났는데, 이는 건조지 토양의 낮은 황산화율 때문으로 추정된다. 향후 건조/반건조 지역에서 토양 개량의 장기적인 효과를 알아보기 위하여 묘목 생장 및 토양 특성에 대한 지속적인 모니터링이 요구되며, 연구 수종에 적합한 시비량 산정을 위한 추가 연구가 필요한 것으로 판단된다.

Ginseng Is renowned for both its medicinal and herbal uses and successful cultivation of Panax ginseng in Asia and Panax quinquefolium in North America has until recently taken place in the native geographical ranges of the plants. As a consequence of the potential high capital return and anticipated increases in consumer consumption, commercial cultivation of American ginseng now occurs well outside the native range of the plant in North America. In fact, the region of greatest expansion of cultivation is in the semi-arid interior region of British Columbia, Canada. Linked with this expansion is the potential domination of the ginseng industry by agricultural corporations. In the interior of British Columbia, the native deciduous forest environment of eastern North America is simulated with elevated polypropylene shade and a surface covering of straw mulch. The architecture of these environments is designed to permit maximum machinery usage and to minimize labor requirements. Further, with only a four- years growth cycle, plant densities in the gardens are high. In this hot, semi-arid environment, producers believe they have a competitive advantage over other regions in North America because of the low precipitation rates. This helps to minimize atmospheric humidity such that the conditions for fungal disease development are reduced. If soil moisture level become limited, supplemental water can be provided by irrigation. The nature of the radiation and energy balance regimes of the shade and many environments promotes high soil moisture levels. Also, the modified environment redlines soil heating. This can result in an aerial environment for the plant that is stressful and a rooting zone environment that is suloptimal. The challenge of further refining the man modified environment for enhanced plant growth and health still remains. Keywords Panax ginseng, Panax quinquefolium, cultivation, ginseng production.

Investigating bacterial diversity and its metabolic capabilities is crucial for interpreting the ecological patterns in a desert environment and assessing the presence of exploitable microbial resources. In this study, we evaluated the spatial heterogeneity of physicochemical parameters, soil bacterial diversity and metabolic adaptation at meter scale. Soil samples were collected from two quadrats of a desert (Thar Desert, India) with a hot, arid climate, very little rainfall and extreme temperatures. Analysis of physico-chemical parameters and subsequent variance analysis (p-values < 0.05) revealed that sulfate, potassium and magnesium ions were the most variable between the quadrats. Microbial diversity of the two quadrats was studied using Illumina bar-coded sequencing by targeting V3-V4 regions of 16S rDNA. As for the results, 702504 high-quality sequence reads, assigned to 173 operational taxonomic units (OTUs) at species level, were examined. The most abundant phyla in both quadrats were Actinobacteria (38.72%), Proteobacteria (32.94%), and Acidobacteria (9.24%). At genus level, Gaiella represented highest prevalence, followed by Streptomyces, Solirubrobacter, Aciditerrimonas, Geminicoccus, Geodermatophilus, Microvirga, and Rubrobacter. Between the quadrats, significant difference (p-values < 0.05) was found in the abundance of Aciditerrimonas, Geodermatophilus, Geminicoccus, Ilumatobacter, Marmoricola, Nakamurella, and Solirubrobacter. Metabolic functional mapping revealed diverse biological activities, and was significantly correlated with physicochemical parameters. The results revealed spatial variation of ions, microbial abundance and functional attributes in the studied quadrats, and patchy nature in local scale. Interestingly, abundance of the biotechnologically important phylum Actinobacteria, with large proposition of unclassified species in the desert, suggested that this arid environment is a promising site for bioprospection.

Human-induced soil salinity is becoming a major threat to agriculture across the world. This salinisation occurs in both irrigated and rain-fed agricultural zones with the highest proportions in the arid and semi-arid environments. Livestock can play an important role in the management and rehabilitation of this land. There are a range of plants that grow in saline soils and these have been used as animal feed. In many situations, animal production has been poor as a result of low edible biomass production, low nutritive value, depressed appetite, or a reduction in efficiency of energy use. Feeding systems are proposed that maximise the feeding value of plants growing on saline land and integrate their use with other feed resources available within mixed livestock and crop farming systems. Salt-tolerant pastures, particularly the chenopod shrubs, have moderate digestible energy and high crude protein. For this reason they represent a good supplement for poor quality pastures and crop residues. The use of salt-tolerant pasture systems not only provides feed for livestock but also may act as a bio-drain to lower saline water tables and improve the soil for growth of alternative less salt tolerant plants. In the longer term there are opportunities to identify and select more appropriate plants and animals for saline agriculture.

중국 건조지역에서 임목 생장을 촉진시키기 위한 토양 개선 방안을 모색하기 위하여 내몽골 자치구 내 Dengkou지역에 묘포장과 방풍림을 조성한 다음 신강포플러(Populus alba var. pyramidalis) 묘목을 식재하고, 시비(질소, 인) 및 보수제(인공보수제; K-SAM, 자연보수제 Yuho(Artemisia ordosica))를 처리하였다. 처리 후 1년 6개월이 지난 다음 묘고, 흉고직경, 생체량, 그리고 묘목 내 질소와 인의 농도 등을 측정하였다. 묘포장과 방풍림 내 토양은 사양토와 식양토로 분류되었고, pH는 8.78과 8.51로 약알칼리성을 띠었으며, 전질소 농도는 각각 0.06%와 0.08%로 나타났다. 묘포장과 방풍림에서 일반적으로 질소(N) 처리 후 무처리나 다른 처리보다 묘고 및 흉고직경 생장이 증가되었으며, 특히 방풍림의 경우 인공 및 자연보수제 처리 후 생장이 증가되었다. 묘포장에서 질소와 인(N+P) 복합 시비 후 지상부와 지하부를 합한 총 생체량이 증가되었다. 질소나 인의 시비가 묘목 내 이들 양분 농도에 미치는 영향은 묘포장에서 뚜렷하지 않았으나, 방풍림에서는 질소 시비 후 잎 대 질소 농도가 크게 증가하여 토양 내 질소가 결핍된 상태를 보였다. 건조지역에서 신강포플러 묘목의 초기 생장에 질소가 가장 큰 영향을 미치며, 인공보수제인 K-SAM과 자연보수제인 Yuho도 묘목의 생장을 증가시켜 이들을 향후 토양 조건 개선에 활용할 수 있을 것으로 보인다.

저분자량 유기산을 이용한 in-situ flushing 토양세척기법의 실제 현장 적용성 검토를 위해 실험실에서 회분식 실험을 통하여 적당한 세척제를 선정하고 이에 따른 여러 가지 운전변수를 찾아보았다. 대상 중금속으로는 Cu를 택했고, 세척제로는 실제 토양환경에 영향이 비교적 적은 저분자량 유기산인 acetic, citric, oxalic, succinic acid를 이용했다. 유기산을 이용하여 처리한 결과 실험에 사용된 유기산들 모두 1 mM의 저농도에서는 효과를 나타내지 못했고 50 mM 이상의 고농도에서 보다 좋은 제거율을 보였는데, 50 mM과 100mM의 경우 제거율이 큰 차이를 보이지 못했다. citric arid와 oxalic acid의 경우 중성 및 약산성 상태에서 최대의 제거율이 나타났고 특히 citric arid의 경우 87.1%의 높은 제거율을 보였다. 유기산이 없을때는 강산성 상태에서 Cu의 최고제거율이 70% 정도였다. 그러나 각 경우에서의 speciation을 살펴보면 유기산이 없을 경우에는 추출된 Cu의 대부분이 유해한 free ion상태로 존재하게 되고 유기산이 있을 경우에는 추출된 Cu의 대부분이 유기산과 complex를 이룬다는 것을 알 수 있었다.

Collapsible soil presents a porous unsaturated structure, its sudden settlement after humidification, without supplementary charge, can be of a big nuisance for the foundations and therefore for the constructions built on it. To improve its structure and limit its instability, samples of laboratory reconstituted soil, with different percentages of water contents and compacted at different compaction energies, were treated with glass-fiber. The study of the mechanical behavior was performed by oedometer tests. The microstructure was explored by the Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM). The results obtained show clearly the efficiency of the treatment with glass fiber on reducing the collapsibility of such soil.
