The purpose of this study is to grasp what characterizes the vegetation base of the natural forest as a latent vegetation in the middle region of Korea and thus to offer basic data when improving the vegetation base in the middle region being built or to be built in the future. The findings of this soil section survey show the following: The soil is brown to red color soil group on the whole. In addition, the soil's physical features like soil hardness are rated as high level, which results from the fact that the forest soil exits in its natural form under less influence of stamping. The pH of soil shows a weak acidity, like Korean normal soil. Specific electrical conductance is also rated as middle to high level in accordance with the standards of landscape architecture. The Salix koreensis community and the Pinus rigida community are different from other communities in terms of total nitrogen, available phosphate and exchangeable $K^+$ content. Specifically, the two communities are opposed to each other in terms of total nitrogen and available phosphate, while being similar to each other in terms of available phosphate and exchangeable $K^+$ content. This seems to result from the fact that they are located near each other. In addition, the two communities are characterized by the fact that they are distributed at the altitude mean relatively lowest and in the valley. To sum up, the forest soil around Goesan Gun is of middle level on the whole according to the landscape standards, when judging it in terms of vegetation base. Accordingly, it seems that the construction of the vegetation base around Goesan Gun will not require large investment expenses for soil improvement. Also, it seems that the spatial scope of research is needed to expand the basic data on the construction of the vegetation base for the whole middle region of Korea.

The green manure crops are returned to soil when the plants are still green. The green manure crops play a role in reducing chemical fertilizers, improvement of soil fertility, reduction of soil erosion, weed control, and landscapes effect. Typical green manure crops are barley green manure, hairy vetch, chines milk vetch and clovers. We sowed 49 species of green manure crops in upland soil to increase the usage of green manure crops. We searched the effectiveness of green manure yield, C/N ratio, soil mulching, and landscape effect. The green manure crops that have $5tonha^{-1}$ or more of green manure yield (fresh weight) were 6 gramineous crops, 4 leguminous crops, and 3 others. Green manures yield in a short growth period was higher in gramineous crops than leguminous crops. Among the green manure crops, 3 gramineous crops, 12 leguminous crops, and 3 others were under 25 in C/N ratio. Seven gramineous crops, 8 leguminous crops, and 5 others were over 50% of soil covering rate. Green manure crops that have beautiful flowers were in total 16 kinds, such as 4 gramineous crops, 6 leguminous crops, and 6 others. In result, based on green manure yield and C/N ratio, excellent species in the green manure crops were 4 species (triticale, 2 kinds of hairy vetch, and lupin). Green manure crops that were effective at soil mulching were 20 species, like hairy vetch, oats, sorghum, phacelia, buckwheat, etc. Buckwheat, crotalaria, mustard plant, phacelia, and etc. could be available for landscape crops.

Background: Deforestation and degradation are currently affecting the ecosystem services of forests. Among the ecosystem services affected by deforestation and degradation are the amount of soil organic carbon (SOC) and total nitrogen (TN) stored in forest soils which have greater impacts in global climate change. This study aimed at examining the amount of SOC and TN in the forest fragments which were separated from the continuous tracts of forests of Jibat and Chillimo through fragmentation processes over four decades. Methods: We have sampled soils from 15 forest fragments of Chillimo and Jibat in the central highlands of Ethiopia. The soil samples obtained in two separate soil depths (0-30 and 30-60 cm) were bulked, dried, and sieved for analysis. Results: Our results have shown that the two sites (Jibat and Chillimo forest fragments) differed in their SOC and TN contents. While the values for Jibat were found to be 29.89 Mg/ha of SOC and 2.84 Mg/ha for TN, it was 14. 06 Mg/ha of SOC and 1.40 Mg/ha for TN for Chillimo. When all forest fragment soil samples were bulked together, Jibat site had twice the value of SOC and TN than Chillimo. When disaggregated on the basis of each fragments, there existed differences in SOC (1.86 Mg/ha and 42.15 Mg/ha) and TN (0.24 Mg/ha and 4.23 Mg/ha) values. Among the forest fragments, fragment four ($F_4$) had the highest Relative Soil Improvement Index (RSII) value of 3826.82% and fragment fifteen ($F_{15}$) had the lowest RSII value (726.87%) which indicated that the former had a better quality of soil properties than the latter. Conclusion: SOC and TN differed across sampled fragments and sites. Variations in soil properties are the reflections of inherent soil parent material, aboveground vegetation, human interferences, and other physical factors. Such differences could be very important for identifying intervention measures for restoration and enhancing ecosystem services of those fragments.

Korea has become the highest nitrogen balance (228 kg/ha) among 34 OECD member countries, and has the stigma of being a 'Nutrient overload country' as of 2019. Accordingly, research on the derivation and utilization of nutrient balance indicators and the 'regional nutrient management system' are being promoted to improve Korea's nutrient balance. It is necessary to support these policies and studies, form a public consensus on improving the nutrient balance, and evaluate the function of the public benefit. This paper aims to estimate the public benefit value of improving the nutrient balance based on an analysis of consumers' willingness to pay and recognition of Korea's nutrient excess for 600 consumers nationwide. As results, 21.2% of the respondents said they were aware of excessive nutrients in Korea, and 76.7% of the respondents said they were aware of the need for nutrient management. The average amount of intention to pay for the improvement of three pollution (soil, water quality, and air) that can occur due to a nutrient overload was ￦2,321.1 for soil pollution improvement, ￦2,391.2 for water pollution improvement, and ￦2,377.9 for air pollution improvement. The average willingness to pay for the three pollution reduction was ￦6,002.3. These results are expected to be used to form a public consensus on the balance of payments and to establish measures to enhance public interest values in the future.

본 연구에서는 금강 유역(대청댐~금강하구둑)을 대상으로 RUSLE (Revised Universal Soil Loss Equation)를 활용하여 하천정비사업 전(2007년)과 후(2015년)의 연간 표토 침식량을 계산하였고, 이를 5단계의 class를 구분하여 해당 구간 별 표토침식면적을 산출하고 그 결과를 환경부의 토지피복 변화와 비교·분석하였다. RUSLE을 구성하는 각 인자를 생성하기 위하여 2007년과 2015년의 토지피복도, 국가기본 공간정보, 정밀 토양도, 연평균 강수량 자료 등의 다양한 공간정보자료를 활용하였다. 연구 결과, 연구지역에서의 연간 표토 침식량은 2007년과 대비하여 2015년에 class 1의 면적은 증가하였고, class 2, 3, 5의 면적은 감소하였으며, class 4의 면적은 증가하였다. 이러한 원인으로는 연구지역의 연평균 강수량의 감소, 생태공원조성과 이로 인한 인공시설물 확대, 농경지 감소 등으로 인하여 대부분의 지역에서 연평균 표토 침식량이 감소된 것으로 사료된다.

본 연구에서는 인산가용화 균주인 Kluyvera sp. CL2 처리시기가 과실품질에 미치는 영향을 구명하고자 본 연구를 실시하였다. 토양의 화학성 변화는 경핵기 처리구에서 인산이 가장 많이 증가하였고, K, Ca, Mg도 증가됨을 알 수 있었으며, pH의 변화는 토양 완충능에 의하여 적었다. 인산가용화균 처리에 따른 수용성 인산의 변화는 처리 시부터 20일 까지 효과적이었으며, 과립연화기 처리구부터 인산가용화율이 좋았다. 또한 과립연화기 처리구에서 과방중과 당도가 증가됨을 알 수 있었다. 인산가용화 균주 처리구에서 안토시아닌, 명도, 적색도, 황색도가 경핵기와 과립연화기 처리구에서 유의성을 보였으며, 특히 적색도가 향상되어 착색증진 효과가 있었다. 결론적으로 과실특성과 과실품질을 모두 비교하였을 때 과립연화기에 인산가용화 균주를 투입하는 것이 수량성과 품질면에서 가장 효과적이라고 생각된다.

The increasing lack of good quality soils allowing the development of roadway, motorway, or railway networks, as well as large scale industrial facilities, necessitates the use of reinforcement techniques. Their aim is the improvement of the global performance of compressible soils, both in terms of settlement reduction and increase of the load bearing capacity. Among the various available techniques, the improvement of soils by incorporating vertical stiff piles appears to be a particularly appropriate solution, since it is easy to implement and does not require any substitution of significant soft soil volumes. The technique consists in driving a group of regularly spaced piles through a soft soil layer down to an underlying competent substratum. The surface load being thus transferred to this substratum by means of those reinforcing piles, which illustrates the case of a piled embankment. The differential settlements at the base of the embankment between the soft soil and the stiff piles lead to an "arching effect" in the embankment due to shearing mechanisms. This effect, which can be accentuated by the use of large pile caps, allows partial load transfer onto the pile, as well as surface settlement reduction, thus ensuring that the surface structure works properly. A technique for producing rigid piles has been developed to achieve in a single operation a rigid circular pile associated with a cone shaped head reversed on the place of a rigid circular pile. This technique has been used with success in a pile-supported road near Bourgoin-Jallieu (France). In this article, a numerical study based on this real case is proposed to highlight the functioning mode of this new technique in the case of industrial slabs.

This experimental study was carried out to evaluate the improvement of rural privys and to develop the system of the three septic tank privy. For this study, 42 samples of excreta, 42 samples of soil and 26 samples of vegetables were drawn out of the conventional privys while 26samples of excreta, 26samples of soil and 26samples of vegetables out of the three septic tank privys from five villages in Chun Song County. Kang Won Province for the period from 22th August to 13th October, 1984. The major findings are as follows : 1. Positive cases of helminthes are found 41 out of 42(97.6%) excreta of the conventional privys whereas those from the three septic tank privys are found 2 out of 26 (7.7%). Average numbers of helminthes from the excreta of the conventional privys are 4.4 whereas those from the three septic tank privys are 1.1. 2. Positive cases of helminthes are found 33 out of 42 (78.6%) soil of the conventional privys whereas those from the three septic tank privys are found 20 out of 26(76.9%). However, this difference does not reveal statistical significance (P>0.01). Average numbers of helminthes from the soil of the conventional privys are 2.3 whereas those from the three septic tank privys are 1.7 and the difference in total number of helminthes reveals statistical significance (P<0.05). 3. Positive cases of helminthes from vegetable samples drawn out of the conventional privys are found 13 out of 26(50.0%) whereas those froin the three septic tank ptivys are found 10 out of 26(38.5%). Average numbers of helminthes from vegetable samples drawn out of the conventional privys are 1.1 whereas those from the three septic tank privys are 0.7. However, these differences in both positive rates and total numbers of helminthes do not reveal statistical significance (P>0.05).

식물의 추출물로 제조할 수 있는 유기산 재료는 포설 시 지중 속에서 미생물의 증식을 유도하며, 미생물에 의해 지반에서 압밀을 가속화시키고 빠르게 간극수압을 소산시킨다. 추가적으로 일부 미생물에 의해 탄산칼슘을 생성시켜 공극을 채워 강도를 증대시키거나 투수성을 감소시킬 수 있다. 따라서, 본 연구에서는 유기산 재료의 지반개량 메커니즘 규명을 위하여 화강풍화토, 라테라이트성 적토에 유기산 재료 혼합 전 후의 강도와 투수시험을 실시하였으며, SEM, XRD로부터 원인을 규명하였다. 유기산 재료 혼합 후 재령 96일에서 강도는 약 1.5~2.5배 증가하였으며, 투수계수는 72.9~93.1%의 감소율을 보였다. SEM으로부터 흙 입자의 구조가 변하거나 공극이 감소한 것을 관찰하여 강도증대, 투수감소의 원인을 규명할 수 있었으며, XRD로부터 탄산칼슘의 생성도 고결화의 주된 요인이라고 결론내릴 수 있었다. 이에 본 유기산 재료는 친환경적으로 지반을 개량할 수 있는 공법으로 활용될 수 있을 것으로 보인다.
