Background: Poultry breeding has increased by 306% in Korea, inevitably increasing the production of manure which may contribute to environmental pollution. The nutrients (NP) in the manure are essential for crop cultivation and soil fertility when applied as compost. Excess nutrients from manure can be accumulated on the land and can lead to eutrophication. Therefore, a nutrient load on the finite land should be calculated. Methods: This study calculates the nutrient production from Korean poultry by investigating 11 broiler and 16 laying hen farms. The broiler manure was composted using deep litter composting while for layer deep litter composting, drying, and simple static pile were in practice. The effect of weight reduction and storing period during composting was checked. Three weight reduction cases of compost were constructed to calculate nutrient loading coefficients (NLCs) using data from; i) farm investigation, ii) theoretical P changes (${\Delta}P=0$), and iii) dry basis. Results: During farm investigation of broiler and layer with deep litter composting, there was a 68 and 21% N loss whereas 77 and 33% P loss was found, respectively. In case of layer composting, a loss of 10-56% N and a 52% P loss was observed. Drying manure increased the P concentrations therefore NLCs calculated using dry basis that showed quite higher reductions (67% N; 53% P). Nutrient loss from farm investigation was much higher than reported by Korean Ministry of Environment (ME). Conclusions: Nutrients in manure are decreased when undergo storing or composting process due to microbial action, drying, and leaching. The nutrient load applied to soil is less than the fresh manure, hence the livestock manure management and conservation of environment would be facilitated.

Monitoring of soil fertility and crop productivity in long-term application of silicate fertilizers is necessary to use fertilizers efficiently. This study was conducted to investigate effects of continuous application of silicate fertilizer for rice cultivation from 1969 to 2014. The treatments were no silicate fertilizer treatments (N, NC, NPK, and NPKC) and silicate fertilizer treatments (N+S, NC+S, NPK+S, and NPKC+S). The 46-yr input of $2\;ton\;ha^{-1}yr^{-1}$ of silicate fertilizer increased pH 0.6 ~ 1.1 and exchangeable Ca $2.0{\sim}2.4cmol_c\;kg^{-1}$ in silicate fertilizer treatments (N+S, NC+S, NPK+S, and NPKC+S) compared with no silicate fertilizer treatments (N, NC, NPK, and NPKC) because silicate fertilizer included Ca component. Also, available silicate concentrations of silicate fertilizer treatments (N+S, NC+S, NPK+S, and NPKC+S) increased $169mg\;kg^{-1}$ compared to no silicate fertilizer treatments. In Period II ('90~'14), the mean annual Si field balance varied from 62 to $175kg\;ha^{-1}yr^{-1}$ in silicate fertilizer treatments, indicating continuous accumulation of soil Si. Silicon uptake and grain yield of rice had greater differences between N treatment and N+S treatment than other treatments. This showed that the application of silicate fertilizer had greater effect in nutrient-poor soils than in proper nutrient soils. Thus the application of silicate fertilizer led to improvement the fertility of soil and increasement of rice production for the lack of soil nutrients.

Chemical properties of soil in the proposed horticultural complexes of Saemangeun reclaimed tideland were studied for sustainable development of the newly reclaimed land resources. The soil texture of Gwanghwal, Gyehwa, Mangyeong and Okgu complex area were sandy loam. The pH and ESP (exchangeable sodium percentage) were 7.42 to 7.82 and 61.05 to 73.62 %, respectively. Compared to general agricultural land in Korea, the soil organic matter and other plant nutrients were low. The concentrations of heavy metals in the soil were found to be acceptable except several sites where they doesn't meet the warning standard of agricultural land contamination. Continuous monitoring and interception of external pollutants are suggested for water-soil-plant system conservation.

Used disposable diapers have been considered for a long time as a type of waste difficult to recycle and valorize due to their composite nature including plastic, cellulose pulp, a super absorbent polymer and either urine, feces or both. Therefore, the fate of disposed diapers often is either incineration or landfill burial which both have various adverse environmental impacts. However, used disposable diapers contain nutrients: cellulose is an organic matter while urine and feces contain non negligible amounts of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium which are primary nutrients included in most chemical fertilizers used in agriculture. In a scope of waste recycling and valorization, this study focuses on developing a method to achieve nutrient solution extraction from used disposable diapers. The experiment essentially consists in shredding the diapers and letting them macerate in solutions of sodium hydroxide with various concentrations to allow breaking down of the cellulose and super absorbent polymer and release of urine and feces before sterilizing the solutions in an autoclave to remove potential coliform bacteria. At the end of the experiment, a set of parameters is measured for the final solution to identify concentrations of nutrients as well as presence or absence of harmful substances. Results are discussed and directions for future studies are suggested, which include mechanization of the diapers shredding process or added aeration to enhance nitrification and absorption of extracted nutrients from plants.

한반도의 참나무 중 수분과 유기물이 많은 입지에 분포하는 상수리나무와 수분이나 양분이 적은 척박한 건조지에 분포하는 굴참나무를 대상으로 대기 중의 $CO_2$ 농도와 기온이 상승하고 환경요소인 광, 토양수분, 영양소가 변화할 때 두 종의 생태 지위폭과 생태 지위 중복역에 가장 많은 영향을 미치는 요소가 어떤 것인지 알아보고자 하였다. 유리온실 내에서 대기 중의 $CO_2$ 농도를 그대로 반영한 대조구와 이보다 $CO_2$ 농도는 약 1.6배와 온도는 $2.2^{\circ}C$ 상승시킨 온난화처리구에서 유식물에 주요 환경요인 중 광, 토양수분과 영양소를 각각 4구배로 처리하여 두 종의 생태 지위폭과 생태 지위 중복역을 계산하였다. 그 결과, 상수리나무의 생태 지위폭은 대조구와 온난화처리구간에 통계적인 차이는 없었고, 굴참나무의 생태지위폭은 대조구에 비해 온난화처리구의 영양소 처리구에서 감소하였다. 상수리나무와 굴참나무의 생태 지위 중 복역은 대조구에 비해 온난화처리구의 토양수분과 영양소 처리구에서 감소하였다. 이러한 결과는 유식물을 대상으로 실험한 결과로 성측목에 적용하는 것은 한계가 있으나, 지구온난화가 진행됨에 따라 상수리나무와 굴참나무는 토양수분과 영양소 환경에 의한 경쟁이 약해질 것으로 유추할 수 있다. Cluster 분석과 PCA 분석 결과, 두 종은 $CO_2$ 농도 및 온도 증가에 의한 반응보다 광 환경에 따라 민감하게 반응하는 것으로 나타났다.

With the increasing cultivation of acid-loving plants such as blueberries, the artificial acidification of soils is frequently required. This research was conducted to determine the application rates of elemental sulfur (S) required in the soil acidification for blueberry cultivation. Laboratory incubation experiment was conducted to acidify three arable soils (pH 6-7) of different texture to pH 4.5-5.0 by the addition of varying amounts of elemental S. All rates of elemental S addition reduced soil pH, although the efficacy of acidification was related to the application rate and soil characteristics. pH reduction was slow in sandy loam soil, and the final equilibrium pH was obtained after 60, 43, and 30 days of incubation in sandy loam, loam, and silty clay, respectively. Although the final pHs obtained after 93 days of incubation were not significantly different among the three soils, the equilibrium pH was relatively higher in soil of higher clay content in the application rates of 1.5-2.0 g S $kg^{-1}$ soil. The estimated amounts of elemental S required in lowering pH to 4.5-5.0 were 0.59-1.01, 0.67-1.03, and 0.53-0.88 g S $kg^{-1}$ for sandy loam, loam, and silty clay, respectively. The lowest estimated amount of elemental S in the acidification of silty clay soil was attributable to the low organic matter content. For clay soils containing optimum level of organic matter, the application rates of elemental S should be much higher than those values estimated in this research. Soil acidification did not significantly increase the available concentrations of Ca, Mg and K. Extractable Cu and Zn was not greatly affected by the acidification, but extractable Fe, Mn, and Al in the acidified soils were higher than those found in non-acidified soils. Such increases in solubility are attributable to the dissolution of oxides and hydroxides of the elements.

가축분 퇴비의 연속적인 과디시용은 토양중의 각종 양분과 염류의 집적을 유도하여 토양의 악화를 초래 할 수 있다. 이러한 현상은 특히, 시설원예 재배지에서 발생하기 쉬운 것으로 알려져 있으나 퇴비 시용 후 퇴비유래 양분의 토양중 거동에 관한 연구는 미흡한 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 제주도에 주로 분포하고 있는 하산회토양(구좌통) 및 비화산회토양(애월통)에 시용한 가축분 퇴비(계분, 우분 및 돈분)의 질소, 인산, 칼리 및 염류의 토양중 거동을 파악하기 위하여, 토양시용 180일 후에 토층별($0{\sim}30$, $31{\sim}60$및 $61{\sim}90\;cm$)로 토양을 채취하여 토양화학성을 조사하였다. 가축분(계분) 퇴비 시용 후 질산태질소의 토양 중 거동을 검토한 결과 화산회토양의 경우, 질산태질소는 90 cm 범위의 토층까지 이동하였으나, 비화산회토양의 경우에는 $0{\sim}60\;cm$ 범위의 토층에 주로 분포하고 있었다. 인산의 경우, 화산회토양에서는 작물의 뿌리가 주로 분포하는 작토층 ($0{\sim}30\;cm$)에서 다량 검출되었으며, 화산회토양에서는 90 cm 범위의 토층에 까지 이동하였으나, 비화산회토양에서는 60 cm 범위의 토층까지 이동하는데 그쳤다. 토양의 염류농도의 경우 화산회토양에서는 주로 $0{\sim}60\;cm$ 범위에서 높은 농도로 검출된 반면, 비화산회토양에서는 토층에 따른 큰 차이를 인정할 수 없었을 뿐만 아니라, 화산회토양에 비하여 현저히 낮은 수준이었다.

An organic apple (Malus ${\times}$ domestics Borkh.) orchard was established to study the interaction effects of ground cover management systems (GMS) and nutrient sources (NS) on soil and tree nutrient status and tree growth. Trees received one of four GMS: 1) green compost (GC), 2) wood chips (WC), 3) shredded paper (SP), and 4) mow-and-blow (MB). Across all GMS, one of three NS was applied: A) a commercial organic fertilizer (CF), B) poultry litter (PL), and C) control (NF). Overall, GMS had greater effects on the variables than did NS. GC mulch supplied greater nutrients, followed by WC, SP, and MB mulches. SP trees had lower foliar [N] in the first two years than the GC and WC trees. GC-and WC-treated trees had larger trunk cross sectional area than the SP and MB trees.
