Carbon dioxide has been known to be a typical greenhouse gas causing global warming, and a number of efforts have been proposed to reduce its concentration in the atmosphere. Among them, carbon dioxide capture and storage (CCS) has been taken into great account to accomplish the target reduction of carbon dioxide. In order to commercialize the CCS, its safety should be secured. In particular, if the stored carbon dioxide is leaked in the arable land, serious problems could come up in terms of crop growth. This study was conducted to investigate the effect of carbon dioxide leaked from storage sites on soil fertility. The leakage of carbon dioxide was simulated using the facility of its artificial injection into soils in the laboratory. Several soil chemical properties, such as pH, cation exchange capacity, electrical conductivity, the concentrations of exchangeable cations, nitrogen (N) (total-N, nitrate-N, and ammonia-N), phosphorus (P) (total-P and available-P), sulfur (S) (total-S and available-S), available-boron (B), and the contents of soil organic matter, were monitored as indicators of soil fertility during the period of artificial injection of carbon dioxide. Two kinds of soils, such as non-cultivated and cultivated soils, were compared in the artificial injection tests, and the latter included maize- and soybean-cultivated soils. The non-cultivated soil (NCS) was sandy soil of 42.6% porosity, the maize-cultivated soil (MCS) and soybean-cultivated soil (SCS) were loamy sand having 46.8% and 48.0% of porosities, respectively. The artificial injection facility had six columns: one was for the control without carbon dioxide injection, and the other five columns were used for the injections tests. Total injection periods for NCS and MCS/SCS were 60 and 70 days, respectively, and artificial rainfall events were simulated using one pore volume after the 12-day injection for the NCS and the 14-day injection for the MCS/SCS. After each rainfall event, the soil fertility indicators were measured for soil and leachate solution, and they were compared before and after the injection of carbon dioxide. The results indicate that the residual concentrations of exchangeable cations, total-N, total-P, the content of soil organic matter, and electrical conductivity were not likely to be affected by the injection of carbon dioxide. However, the residual concentrations of nitrate-N, ammonia-N, available-P, available-S, and available-B tended to decrease after the carbon dioxide injection, indicating that soil fertility might be reduced. Meanwhile, soil pH did not seem to be influenced due to the buffering capacity of soils, but it is speculated that a long-term leakage of carbon dioxide might bring about soil acidification.

24 cultivation areas at fields of the Tobacco Experiment Station in Suweon, Eumseong, and Daegu were selected to get the fertilizer response and evaluate fertility level of upland soil. Fertilizer levels treated were 0, 70, 100, and 130kg/10a of compound fertilizer (10-10-20) for tobacco. The results are as follows; 1. Fertility level could be evaluated by dry weight of tobacco loaves harvested from non-fertilized fields. 2. There was significant in yield differences between fertilizer levels of 70 and 100kg/10a but was no difference between 100 and 130kg/10a of fertilizer level. The lower fertilizer efficiencies were showed at the fields harvested high yield of tobacco leaf without fertilizer. 3. Optimum fertilizer level for non-fertilized field with leaf yield less than 208.5kg/10a was 100kg/10a, and at low productive field with dry leaf weight less than 33.3kg/10a, higher level of fertilizer, 130kg/10a, was considered to be the optimum to get the got income with tobacco cultivation.

The purpose of this study was to confirm the dissolution of arsenic from the stabilized soil around abandoned coal mines by cultivation activities. Experimental soils were collected from the agricultural field around Okdong and Buguk coal mines, and the concentration of arsenic in the soil and the geochemical mobility were confirmed. The average arsenic concentration was 20 mg/kg. The soil with relatively high geochemical mobility of arsenic in the soil was used in the batch and column experiment. The limestone was mixed with soil for soil stabilization, and the mixing ratio was 3% of limestone, based on the soil weight. The phosphoric acid fertilizer (NH₄H₂PO₄) was added to the soil to simulate a cultivation condition according to the Rural Development Administration's rules. Comparative soil without mixing limestone was prepared and used as a control group. The arsenic extraction from soil was increased following the fertilizer mixing amount and it shows a positive relationship. The concentration of phosphate in the supernatant was relatively low under the condition of mixing limestone, which is determined to be result of binding precipitation of phosphate ions and calcium ions dissolved in limestone. Columns were set to mix phosphoric acid fertilizers and limestone corresponding to cultivation and stabilization conditions, and then the column test was conducted. The variations of arsenic extraction from the soil indicated that the stabilization was effectible until 10 P.V.; however, the stabilization effect of limestone decreased with time. Moreover, the geochemical mobility of arsenic has transformed by increasing the mobile fractions in soil compared to initial soil. Therefore, based on the arsenic extraction results, the cultivation activities using phosphoric fertilizer could induce a decrease in the stabilization effect.

Use of polymeric soil amendments is an emerging way to reduce soil erosion, and improve crop productivity and soil quality. Objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of anionic polyacrylamide (PAM) and synthetic biopolymer on soil erosion, crop growth and soil quality. The aqueous solutions of PAM and biopolymer at 40 kg/ha were applied to loamy soil plots (3 m width by 18 m long) having a 20% slope during radish (Raphanus sativus) cultivation. Results showed that PAM and biopolymer treatments increased aggregate stability up to 11% compared to the untreated control. Treatments of PAM and biopolymer also increased leaf length of radish but there was no significant difference in crop yield. Soil loss was decreased by up to 41% using the polymeric soil amendments; however, no difference in runoff was found, compared to the untreated control. Soil loss was logarithmically increased against an increase in rainfall intensity ($R^2=0.85$). Our findings suggest that proper use of polymeric soil amendments would be beneficial to maintain soil quality and reduce soil erosion in sloping uplands.

A study was conducted to investigate the status of organic phosphorus in soils originated from different parent materials and under different uses(Virgin, rice soil, upland). The results are summarized as a following. 1. Regardless of parent materials and land uses, the contents of different forms of organic phosphorus are in the order of unidentified organic-P>Inositol-P>Sugar-P>Lipid-P. 2. In case of Inositol-p, the contents were in the order of rice soil>upland>virgin soil. 3. The contents of Sugar-P and Lipid-P in cultivated soils are higher than in uncultivated soil. 4. RNA and DNA are not identified in any soil when detected by ultra-violet absorption method. 5. There is highly significant correlation between the content of soil organic matter and that of organic phosphate. However, there is remarkable difference in the pattern of correlation between cultivated soils and uncultivated soils. 6. Comments were made on the factors on plant availability of various organic phosphorus.

고랭지밭은 집중호우시 토사가 유실되고 고농도의 흙탕물이 하천으로 유입되면서 하류지역의 수질 악화로 사회적·환경적 문제를 초래하고 있다. 이에, 환경부는 비점오염원관리지역을 지정하고 비점오염저감시설을 보급하고 있으나, 저감 노력에도 불구하고 집중호우시 수질 악화는 지속적으로 나타나고 있다. 따라서 발생원 관리 노력이 더욱 많이 필요한 실정인데, 최근 강원도와 환경부에서는 토사유실에 취약한 고랭지밭의 지형적 조건을 개선하여 토양유실을 저감하는 고랭지밭 경사도 완화 사업을 추진하고 있다. 고랭지밭 경사도 완화는 급경사지 및 경사장의 경작지를 계단식으로 조성하여 비점유출을 최소화시키는 발생원 관리방안이다. 그러나, 고랭지밭 경사도 완화에 따른 정량화된 비점유출 저감효과 분석에 관한 연구는 부족한 실정이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 홍천군 광원리와 창촌리에 조성된 경사도 완화 경작지를 대상으로 강우유출수 모니터링을 수행하였으며, 비점저감효과 정량화를 위해 인근의 경사지 밭에서도 강우유출수 모니터링을 수행하여 대조구로 분석하였다. 강우유출수 모니터링은 2020년 8월에 총 3회(광원리 2회, 창촌리 1회) 수행되었으며, 분석 결과 광원리의 경사도 완화 경작지 평균 수질농도는 탁도 124.4 NTU, SS 111.5 mg/L, TOC 4.6 mg/L로 나타났으며, 대조구의 평균 수질농도는 탁도 1,741.7 NTU, SS 673.3 mg/L, TOC 30.6 mg/L로 나타났다. 광원리의 경사도 완화 경작지는 대조구 대비 수질항목별 83.4 ~ 92.9%의 비점저감 효과가 있는 것으로 나타났다. 창촌리의 경사도 완화 경작지의 평균 수질농도는 탁도 598.1 NTU, SS 414.5 mg/L, TOC 8.5 mg/L로 나타났으며, 대조구 평균 수질농도는 탁도3,487.3 NTU, SS 3,081.2 mg/L, TOC 40.3 mg/L로 나타났다. 창촌리의 경사도 완화 경작지는 대조구 대비 수질항목별 78.9 ~ 86.5%의 수질저감효과가 있는 것으로 나타났다. 경작지의 경사도 완화로 밭에서 발생하는 비점오염 발생을 SS는 최대 86.5%, TOC는 최대 84.9% 줄일 수 있는 것으로 나타났다. 하지만 본 연구 결과는 단년간 모니터링을 통해 도출된 결과이므로 정량화된 비점오염저감효과 도출을 위해서 다양한 강우조건 등을 고려한 지속적인 모니터링이 필요할 것으로 판단되며, 향후 연구에서는 2022년도에 인제군 북면 월학리 신규 조성된 경사도 완화 경작지를 대상으로 강우유출수 모니터링을 수행할 계획이다.
