유류로 오염된 토양을 토양미생물 복원제를 첨가한 후 다양한 조건에서20일 동안의 유류저감효과를 알아보았다. 실험조건은 유류로만 오염된 토양(DS), 토양미생물 복원제를 20%(w/w)가 되도록 첨가한 유류로 오염된 토양(DSP), 토양 미생물 복원제를 넣은 후 pH를 중성으로 보정한 유류로 오염된 토양(DSP-1), 토양미생물 복원제와 촉진제를 넣은 유류로 오염된 토양(DSP-2), 토양미생물 복원제와 촉진제를 넣은 후 pH를 중성으로 보정한 유류로 오염된 토양(DSP-3)을 설정하였다. 실험 결과 pH를 보정한 토양미생물 복원제를 첨가한 유류오염토양은 탈수소 효소 활성과 TPH 저감에서의 효능이 우수하였다. 실험이10일 경과되었을 때 탈수소 효소 활성이 가장 높은 DSP-1 토양이 TPH 역시 가장 활발히 분해했다. 결과적으로 초기 10일의 배양기간 동안 토양미생물 복원제를 첨가한 토양은 대조군에 비해 38% 가량의 TPH 저감상승효과를 볼 수 있다. 토양미생물 복원제의 첨가를 통해 초기 저감속도를 올려줄 수 있으며, 최종적으로도 비 첨가군에 비해 높은 저감효율을 기대할 수 있다. 토양미생물 복원제를 유류오염토양을 복원한다면 초기 오염물질을 빠르게 처리할 수 있지만 미생물 활성은 pH, 온도 등 환경 인자에 많은 영향을 받으므로 토양미생물 복원제의 효율을 최대화하기 위해서는 환경 인자를 분석하여 이를 바탕으로 복원을 진행한다면 오염물질 정화 효율을 향상시킬 수 있을 것이다.

블루베리 재배 토양 개선에 적합한 유기자재를 선정하고자 대표적인 하이부쉬블루베리 품종인 'Duke'를 대상으로 피트모스, 이탄토, 소나무 발효톱밥 등 유기자재를 활용한 토양에서 블루베리의 생육 및 과실 특성을 조사하였다. 토양 산도는 4.2 ~ 4.8로 톱밥 > 이탄토 = 피트모스 수준이었다. 토양 중 유기물 함량은 톱밥의 경우 2.5%, 피트모스와 이탄토를 섞은 토양의 경우는 4.1%로 나타났다. 토양 경도는 토양 깊이 40 cm 위치까지 측정한 결과 1 ~ 5 kgf cm^-2으로 작물이 자라기에 적합한 것으로 나타났다. 흡지 수와 주축지 수는 이탄토 > 피트모스 > 톱밥 유기자재 처리구 순으로 많았다. 또한 피트모스와 이탄토 처리구의 흡지 굵기와 길이도 톱밥 처리구보다 긴 것으로 조사되었으며, 총 신초 수도 마찬가지의 양상으로 나타났다. 과실의 특성 중 과실의 중량, 과경, 횡경, 경도는 유기자재 처리 간에 통계적 차이가 나타나지 않았다. 가용성고형물 함량은 이탄토 > 피트모스 > 톱밥 유기자재 처리구 순으로 높게 나타났다. 과실의 수확량은 톱밥 처리구가 가장 낮은 것으로 나타났으며 피트모스와 이탄토 처리구는 비슷한 양상으로 나타났다. 따라서 토양 환경에 따른 수체 및 과실 특성을 종합하여 검토한 결과 국내 블루베리 재배 시 안정적인 생산을 위해서 피트모스를 이탄토로 대체하여 사용할 수 있을 것이라 판단되었다.

This article describes a new in-situ load test called the Hydraulic Cylinder Test (HCT) and its application to determine the geotechnical properties of soil-rock mixtures. The main advantages of the test are its easy implementation, speed of execution and low-cost. This article provides a detailed description of the equipment and the test procedure, and examines a case study of its application to determine the geotechnical properties of an earth-filled dam for a tailings pond. The containment dams of the ponds are made from blocks of gypsum and marl, obtained from the excavation of the ponds, mixed in a matrix of sands and clays. The size of the rocks varies between 1 and 30 cm. The HCT is particularly useful for determining the geotechnical properties of this type of soil-rock mixture. Nine HCTs were carried out to determine its strength (c, ${\phi}$) and deformation (B, G) properties. The results obtained were validated using the Bim strength criterion, recently proposed, and some pressure meter tests carried out beforehand. The properties obtained are used to analyze the stability of the dam using computer simulations and a modification to its design is proposed.

The objective of this research was to develop growth media for artificial ground by blending calcined clay and coconut peat. To achieve this, aggregates of clay particles were mixed with disel oil and heated to high temperature(1150~120$0^{\circ}C$) to expand clays. The particle sizes of expanded clay were controlled to 2~5mm in diameter. Then expanded clayes were mixed with coconut peat and changes of soil physicochemical properties and their effect on plant growth of Hedera L. were determined. The infiltration rate of calcined clay was very high, but the water holding capacity, the cation exchange capacity(CEC), and the nutrient contents were low. The characteritics of coconut peat was vice verse to calcined clay. This indicates that the mixture of calcined clay and coconut peat have the better characteristics than each material. As compared to mineral soil, the infiltration rate, the water holding capacity, the CEC and the nutrient contents increased, but bulk density decreased to about 1/4. And, Hedera L. grown in the mixture of calcined clay and coconut peat(6:4, v/v) had higher plant height, longer leaf length, more total number of leaves per plant and fresh weight than that grown in mineral soil, but statistical differences were not observed between two treatments.

This study was conducted to determine the decomposition rate constants of organic matter and to evaluate the process of regeneration of inorganic nutrients in coastal and open seawater. The mixture solution of glucose and glutamic acid, and night soil were used as the test organic matter. Oxygen uptake of test solution was observed every day for 5 days for evaluation of decomposition rate constants, and nutrient contents were analyzed every day for 40 days. The decomposition rate constants have been determined by Thomas slope method and compared with the values of each waters. The values of rate constants for open seawater and coastal water containing the mixture of glucose and glutamic acid were 0.23/day and 0.21/day, and those containing night soil 0.23/day and 0.20/day, respectively. The difference of decomposition rate constants between test materials was not found and the valus for each seawater was equal to each other. The nitrification process took place after 22 days for open seawater when night soil was added to the waters.

Antibiotic activity of selected biocontrol agent Trichoderma harzianum ABGS-95 showed 59% to P. graminicola, 65% to P. aphanidermatum and 57% to Rhizoctonia solani compare to non-treated control. ABGC-95 showed resistant to major agrochemicals such as metalaxyl+mancozeb, etridiazole, propamocarb, toclofos methly, terbuconazole, pencycuron and flutolanil. The biocontrol agent T. harzianum ABGC-95 grew vigorously in low nutrient media and water agar. And sand mixture with wheat bran or mowing debris of zoysia grass also provided good growth of the organism. Application of sand mixture of Trichoderma spp. into aeration cores in golf showed most effective biocontrol of pythium blight. Top dressing application of T. harzianum ABGC-95 reached 83% control efficient while spray application of same biocontrol agent showed only 69% control. The biocontrol agent ABGC-95 successfully suppressed the population density of Pythium spp. in soil. The population density of total Pythium spp. in ABGC-95 treated soil was sustained almost same population at beginning(early May) up to end of August, while the population in untreated control plot was increased 5 times that of beginning and even 10 times in pathogen accumulated soil.

This study was conducted to develop environmental restoration methods for the ecological restoration of the rock exposed steep cut-slopes using native woody plants seeds by the hydro-seeding with artificial soil media. The main results are summarized as follows; 1. Quercus spp. seeded after seed treatment germinated over 80% and most of them grew well until one year. So, Quercus spp. can grow at the extremely dry rock exposed slopes revegetated by hydro-seeding with soil-fertilizer-seed mixed media. 2. The germinated seedlings grew well at the slopes oriented southeast. But in case of the survival ratio of the germinated seedlings, northwestward slopes was the best. 3. In case of the using pot seedlings of the Miscanthus sinensis var. purpurascens, it shows more beautiful scenery than the area using cool-season grasses. 4. As the results of the experiment, Albizzia julibrissin, Quercus spp. and Lespedeza crytobotrya can be useful at the restoration and revegatation of the cut-slopes. 5. At the results of the seed mixture experiment, cool-season grasses covered the ground quickly, but slowly germinated Quercus spp. and Lespedeza crytobotrya formed under story vegetation. Also, Albizzia julibrissin formed upper story vegetation will be replaced by Quercus spp. slowly.

Removal of methane, benzene and toluene was evaluated in a lab-scale biocover packed with a soil mixture of forest soil and earthworm cast (75:25 weight ratio). The bacterial community in the biocover was characterized using quantitative real-time PCR and terminal restriction fragment length polymorphism. Methane was removed at the upper layer of the biocover (-0.1 ~ -0.4 m), where the oxygen concentration was remarkably lower. The average removal efficiencies for methane and benzene/toluene were 90% and 99%, respectively. The pmoA gene copy numbers, responsible for methane oxidation, in the upper layer were higher than those in the lower layer. While type I methanotrohs dominated the lower layer, type II methanotrophs, such as Methylocystis and Methylosinus, were noted to be predominant in the upper layer. Benzene and toluene were removed from the lower layer (-0.6 ~ -0.9 m) as well as the upper layer. Moreover, the tmoA gene copy number, responsible for benzene/toluene oxidation, seen in the upper layer was not significantly different from those seen in the lower layer. These results suggest that a biocover packed with a soil and earthworm cast mixture is a promising method which could be utilized for the control of methane and volatile organic compounds such as benzene and toluene.
