Six study sites in Gumi, Goryeong in Gyeongbuk province and Naju in Jeonnam province were selected to investigate soil properties of poorly drained horizons in paddy soils. The horizons were re-established layers which were parent material layers originated from fluvial deposits. Topsoil layers were differentiated from piled parent materials while soil structure of the topsoil layer was massive with striated microstructure. Compaction at soil re-establishment and a lack of structure and aggregate development in these soils may cause the limitation of vertical water movement and result in poorly drained horizons. Soil samples were taken from paddy fields with top soils of sandy loam, silt loam and silty clay loam and re-established soils of coarse and fine texture. The samples were taken from each horizon for the analyses of soil chemical and mineral properties. Soils with re-established soils of coarse texture had greater amounts of sands from top soil texture distributions, while soils with fine texture had greater amounts of silts. Chemical properties of top soils were analyzed from rice cultivated soils at the time of re-establishments and one year after the re-establishments. The coarse texture of the re-established horizons decreased in EC values from 0.23 to $0.11(dS\;m^{-1})$, available phosphate values from 112 to $54(mg\;kg^{-1})$, and exchangeable Ca values from 6.6 to $4.9(cmol_c\;kg^{-1})$. On the other hand, soils with fine texture showed decrease only in pH and exchangeable Ca values. Especially, organic matter and available phosphate contents showed heterogeneous distributions from each horizon. This result may be caused by mixture of plough layer and subsurface layer during and consolidation. Hydraulic conductivity values were low at the boundaries of top soil and parent material layers except SL/coarse soil. Soil microstructure was massive structure without soil clods or pores and showed striated structure. Therefore, re-established paddy fields with fluvial deposits as parent material layers showed limited vertical movements of soil water because of occurrence of compacted layers and less-development of soil clods and aggregates.

Soil moisture is an important factor for the availability and circulation of nutrients in arable soil. The purpose of this study was to set thresholds moisture content on soil nitrate concentration in the solution for real-time diagnosis. Sandy loam, silt loam, and sandy loam was filled with $1.2g\;cm^{-3}$ at Wagner pots, 0, 100, and $200mg\;L^{-1}$ of $KNO_3$ was saturated. Nitrate in standard solution was recovered about 95% by passing the porous cup. Nitrate concentrations in sampling of soil solution were examined by using a porous cup. The soil solution was higher in accordance with sandy loam> silt loam> clay loam, limited water filled pore space for sampling soil solution was 33.7, 56.4, and 62.2%, respectively. Nitrate concentration in the soil solution was negligible at sandy loam and silt loam during sampling periods, which was decreased about 50~82% in clay loam compared to the initial $NO_3$-N concentration in the saturated $KNO_3$ solution. Over limitation of soil solution sampling, soil EC and $NO_3$-N content were increased with the saturated $NO_3$-N concentration, regardless of soil texture (p<0.05). Conclusively, soil solution by using a porous cup was possible, regardless of the soil texture, which was useful for the diagnosis in nitrate concentration of soil solution. However, because nitrate concentration of soil solution in a clay loam changes, it was necessary for careful attention in order to take advantage for the real-time diagnosis of nitrogen management in soil.

Adequate available soil moisture level is considered to be one the most important components in growing high yields of good quality ginseng. Excessive soil moisture may promote stillborn fungal pathogens and cause serious diseases in ginseng fields. This study showed that soil moisture levels for optimum growth and health of ginseng varied with soil texture. Fifty- percent available moisture for sandy loam and 75% for silty loam are the best moisture levels for good growth and higher yield.

토성분석방법으로 사용되고 있는 표준비중계법 (Standard Method ; SM)과 개선비중계법(Simplified for Soil Texture Analysis ; SSTA)및 간이계산법(Simplified Clay Fraction Piocedure;SCFP)간의 $2{\mu}m$ 점토함량을 비교하고자 본 시험을 수행하였다. 사용된 시료는 점토함량이 2~40% 내외의 토양 28점이었다. 현재 국내사용 표준방법은 particle size Distribution을 위한 것이지, 토성판정을 위한 $2{\mu}m$ 점토함량을 계산하는데는 약간의 문제가 있는 것으로 판단되었으며 표준분석법과의 상관을 볼 때는 개선비중계법과 간이계산법 모두 1.0에 가까운 상관계수를 보였으나, 간이계산법의 경우 표준분석 법보다는 $2{\mu}m$ 점토함량이 0~2%정도 높게 평가 되었다. 또한 분석한 시료의 토성판정결과 표준분석법과 개선비중계법은 28점 모두 동일한 결과를 얻었으나, 표준분석법과 비교할 때 간이계산법은 28점중 4점이 다른 토성으로 판정되었다. 그러므로 표준분석법 방법보다는 개선비중계법 방법이 $2{\mu}m$ 점토함량을 측정하는데 더 신속하고 정확한 방법이 될 수 있을 것으로 판단되었다.

Soil texture has an important influence on agriculture such as crop selection, movement of nutrient and water, soil electrical conductivity, and crop growth. Conventionally, soil texture has been determined in the laboratory using pipette and hydrometer methods requiring significant amount of time, labor, and cost. Recently, in-situ soil texture classification systems using optical diffuse reflectometry or mechanical resistance have been reported, especially for precision agriculture that needs more data than conventional agriculture. This paper is a part of overall research to develop an in-situ soil texture classification system using image processing. Issues investigated in this study were effects of sensor travel speed and light source and intensity on image quality. When travel speed of image sensor increased from 0 to 10 mm/s, travel distance and number of pixel were increased to 3.30 mm and 9.4, respectively. This travel distances were not negligible even at a speed of 2 mm/s (i.e., 0.66 mm and 1.4), and image degradation was significant. Tests for effects of illumination intensity showed that 7 to 11 Lux seemed a good condition minimizing shade and reflection. When soil water content increased, illumination intensity should be greater to compensate decrease in brightness. Results of the paper would be useful for construction, test, and application of the sensor.

Soil moisture content is generally accepted as an important factor to understand the process of crop growth and is the basis of earth system models for analysis and prediction of the crop condition. To continuously monitor soil moisture changes at kilometer scale, it is demanded to create high resolution data from the current, several tens of kilometers. In this paper we described a downscaling method for Advanced Microwave Scanning Radiometer 2 (AMSR2) Soil Moisture Content (SMC) from 10 km to 30 m resolution using a soil texture and field measurements that have a high correlation with the SMC. As a result, the soil moisture variations of both data (before and after downscaling) were identical, and the Root Mean Square Error (RMSE) of SMC exhibited the low values. Also, time series analyses showed that three kinds of SMC data (field measurement, original AMSR2, and downscaled AMSR2) had very similar temporal variations. Our method can be applied to downscaling of other soil variables and can contribute to monitoring small-scale changes of soil moisture by providing high resolution data.

황과 Powers(2003)는 입도분포와 공극크기분포에 로그분포함수를 적용하여, 입도분포로부터 토양수분특성을 직접 추정하는 간단한 모형을 개발하였다. 본 연구의 목적은 황과 Powers(2003)가 개발한 모형의 추정능력이 토성에 의해 영향을 받는가를 밝히는 것이다. 연구결과, 모형은 토성에 의해 영향을 받았고, 특히 토양내 세립질 분율이 커질수록 모형의 추정능력은 감소하였다. 또한 입도와 공극크기사이의 관계를 비선형으로 가정한 비선형모형이 선형모형보다 토성에 관계없이 그 추정능력이 크게 나타났다.

1985년부터 1991년까지 일 강우량 80 mm 이상일 때의 유거량 자료를 이용하여 집중강우시 물유출 양상을 구명하였다. 지표유거가 발생하는 유거 발생 최소 강우량은 지표피복과 경사장에 따라 결정되는 것으로 나타났으며 토성과 경사각에 따라서는 별 차이를 나타내지 않았다. 유거 발생 최소 강우량을 기준으로 그 이후의 유거량은 강우량에 따라 직선적으로 증가하였다. 그러나 이 때의 기울기 즉, 유거율은 토성, 지표 피복형태, 경사각, 경사장에 따라 달라졌다. 유거율은 토성이 세립질로 침투속도가느릴 수록 커졌으며 콩 재배에 비해 물흐름에 대한 저항이 작은 나지에서 컸다. 또한 유거율은 경사각의 제곱근에 비례하여 증가하였으며 경사장이 길어짐에 따라 특정값에 수렴하면서 감소하였다. 이러한 결과를 바탕으로 집중강우 시 유거량을 모사할 수 있는 식을 다음과 같이 개발하였다. $$Runoff=a(s^{0.5}+l^b)(Rainfall-80(1-e^{-bl}))------(9)$$ 이 식에서 a는 토양의 침투특성과 관련된 토양계수, b는 지표 피복의 영향을 나타내는 지표피복계수, s는 경사각(radian), l은 경사장(m)이다. a는 토성에 따라 0.5~0.6으로 나타났으며 세립질일 수록 값이 컸다. b는 피복조건에 따라 나지에서 0.06, 콩 재배시 0.5 정도로 평가되었다.

This research was conducted to investigate potential use of New Zealand spinach (Tetragonia tetragonoides) as a new vegetable crop which will be cultivating in salt-affected soils including reclaimed land. Traditionally New Zealand spinach has been studied to explore functional compound or salt removing potential. To cultivate the crop species in the salt-affected soil widely, it is essential to obtain salt and soil texture responses under the controlled environment. Fifty nine New Zealand spinach ecotypes native to Korean peninsula first collected over seashore areas, and primitive habitat soil environment was evaluated by analyzing soil chemical properties from 32 locations. Different textures of sandy, silt loam, and sandy loam soils were prepared from nearby sources of sea shore, upland and paddy soils, respectively. Target salinity levels of 16.0 dS/m, 27.5 dS/m, 39.9 dS/m, and 52.4 dS/m in electrical conductivity (ECw) were achieved by diluting of 25, 50, 75, 100% (v/v) sea water to tap water (control, 0.6 dS/m), respectively. Various measurements responding to soil texture and irrigation salinity included plant height, root length, fresh weight (FW), dry weight (DW), leaf parameters (leaf number, leaf length, leaf width), lateral branching, and inorganic ion content. was found to adapt to diverse habitats ranging various soil chemical properties including soil pH, organic matter, exchangeable bases, EC, and cation exchange capacity (CEC) in Korea. Responding to soil texture, New Zealand spinach grew better in silt loam and sandy loam soil than in sandy soil. Higher yield (FW and DW) seemed to be associated with branch number (r=0.99 and 0.99, respectively), followed by plant height (r=0.94 and 0.97, respectively) and leaf number (r=0.89 and 0.84, respectively). Plant height, FW, and DW of the New Zealand spinach accessions were decreased with increasing irrigation salinity, while root length was not significantly different compared to control. Based on previous report, more narrow spectrum of salinity range (up to 16 dS/m) needs to be further studied in order to obtain more accurate salinity responses of the plant. As expected, leaf Na content was increased significantly with increasing salinity, while K and Ca contents decreased. Growth responses to soil texture and irrigation salinity implied the potential use of New Zealand spinach as a leafy vegetable in salt-affected soil constructed with silt loam or sandy loam soils.
