An irrigated-maize agroecosystem is viewed as an open thermodynamic system upon which solar radiation impresses a large gradient that moves the system away from equilibrium. Following the imperative of the second law of thermodynamics, such agroecosystem resists and reduces the externally applied gradient by using all means of this nature-human coupled system acting together as a nonequilibrium dissipative process. The ultimate purpose of our study is to test this hypothesis by examining the energetics of agroecosystem growth and development. As a first step toward this test, we employed the eddy covariance flux data from 2003 to 2014 at the AmeriFlux NE1 irrigated-maize site at Mead, Nebraska, USA, and analyzed the energetics of this agroecosystem by scrutinizing its radiation, energy and entropy exchange. Our results showed: (1) more energy capture during growing season than non-growing season, and increasing energy capture through growing season until senescence; (2) more energy flow activity within and through the system, providing greater potential for degradation; (3) higher efficiency in terms of carbon uptake and water use through growing season until senescence; and (4) the resulting energy degradation occurred at the expense of increasing net entropy accumulation within the system as well as net entropy transfer out to the surrounding environment. Under the drought conditions in 2012, the increased entropy production within the system was accompanied by the enhanced entropy transfer out of the system, resulting in insignificant net entropy change. Drought mitigation with more frequent irrigation shifted the main route of entropy transfer from sensible to latent heat fluxes, yielding the production and carbon uptake exceeding the 12-year mean values at the cost of less efficient use of water and light.

BACKGROUND: Soil water content strongly depends on weather condition and irrigation, and it could influence on crop nutrient use efficiency. This study was performed to assess nutrient uptake of soybean by soil water condition. METHODS AND RESULTS: In this study, nutrient leaching and crop uptake as affacted by water management practice was investigated using weighing lysimeter which is located in National institute of agricultural science, Wanju, Jeonbuk province from June 2015 to October 2016. Water supply for soybean (cv. Daewon) was managed with irrigation and rainfall. Nitrate leaching was greatest in the rainfall treatment at early July 2016. Yield of soybean in the rainfall treatment was only 25% compared to the irrigation due to the drought at flowering and podding period. The uptake of nitrogen was considerably reduced by drought whereas the uptake of phosphorus and potassium was less affected by drought. CONCLUSION: It was proven that nitrogen loss and uptake were dependent on soil water condition. Therefore, irrigation water management to maintain available soil moisture capacity is critical to nitrogen uptake and yield of soybean.

Nowadays, most domestic construction companies are concentrating their interests on IT areas, so a variety advanced techniques such as CRM, SCM, ERP have been adopted by them. this is one of the ways to survive in the domestic market. It is the current tendency in the construction business. But, Home Pages of domestic construction companies are composed of simple structures which are limited to simple advertisements of each company or simple system application. It has been reported that customers are still maintaining low participation in this situation. This study first will analyze implementation situations in other business area's and survey people's opinions in construction-related areas. Then we will provide basic data for web-site's stimulation of construction companies.

기후변화는 피할 수 없으며 다음 세기에도 계속될 것이다. 이는 생태계와 토지와 물과 같은 자연자원의 이용에도 영향을 미칠 것이다. 연구 결과에 의하면 아프리카는 낮은 경제수준과 지역적 다양성으로 인하여 기후변화에 가장 취약한 지역 중의 하나이다. 짐바브웨는 한계농지가 황폐화가 되는 등 농업분야가 특히 기후변화에 취약하다. 본 논문에서는 짐바브웨의 주요 옥수수 재배지역에 대하여 기후변화가 옥수수의 필요수량에 미치는 영향을 공간적 및 시간적으로 분석하였다. 미래 기후예측은 HadCM3 전지구 모형 결과에 change factor를 곱하여 추정하였다. 배출가스 시나리오는 A2b 및 B2a를 선정하였고, 시간대는 2020s, 2050s 및 2080s 각각 30년간에 대하여 분석하였다. 기준작물 증발산량은 Penman-Monteith 공식으로, 순관개량은 CROPWAT 모형을 이용하여 구하였다. 순관개량의 공간적인 분석은 GIS를 이용하였다. 분석 결과 대상지역은 강우량이 감소하고 관개의 필요성이 크게 증가할 것으로 나타났다. 2080s의 필요수량은 기준년도 (1961-1990)에 비하여 93 내지 115 % 증가할 것으로 예측되었다. 이 증가는 기온의 증가와 강우량의 감소에 기인한다. 대상 지역에 대한 기후변화 대응 전략 수립과 영향 저감대책에 대한 추가적인 연구가 필요하다고 하겠다.

최근 지구온난화에 따른 기후변화로 폭염, 가뭄, 홍수 등 기상 재해의 발생빈도가 상승하고 있으며, 강우 집중도와 변동성이 증가함에 따라 2010년 이후 2014년을 제외한 현재까지 지속적인 농업가뭄의 발생으로 연속적인 가뭄 피해를 겪고 있다. 근대적 수리시설의 발달과 선제적 가뭄대책 등으로 가뭄대응력은 향상되어 피해 수준은 과거에 비해 상대적으로 적은 편이나 정량적인 가뭄피해 평가의 기준이나 피해 평가 사례가 미흡하다. 일반적으로 기상학적 가뭄은 표준강수지수(Standardized Precipitation Index, SPI)를 활용하고 있으며, 농업적 가뭄은 농촌수자원의 주요한 용수공급시설인 농업용 저수지의 용수공급능력과 관개지역의 필요수량을 평가하여 시기별로 부족 수량을 산정하고 가뭄강도를 정량화함으로써 농업가뭄 상황을 평가할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 기상학적 가뭄 지수인 SPI와 농업용 저수지의 용수공급능력, 농업적 가뭄 피해 지역의 관련 자료 등을 수집하여 농업 가뭄의 직접 피해를 중심으로 기상학적 가뭄 정도에 따른 농업적 가뭄 피해에 대한 상관성을 살펴보고자 한다.

Discharge variations of perforated hose and drip irrigation systems were examined to evaluate irrigation uniformity at different pressures and length of branch line. Evaluation using statistical uniformity indicated that button drippers performed at excellent level but drip tapes and drip hoses were a little lower level. Nominal discharge of drip irrigation systems showed at the high side within the range of regulating pressure provided by the manufacturer. It is desirable that the length of branch line for drip hose, drip tape, and button dripper should be limited to 50 m, 70 m, and 100 m, respectively. Irrigation uniformity of perforated hoses showed very low level. So it is recommended that the length of branch line for perforated hoses should be limited to $30{\sim}35m$.

Monitoring data of 48 agricultural irrigation reservoirs from 1999 to 2004 was analyzed for water quality characteristics including biochemical oxygen demand $(BOD_5)$, chemical oxygen demand (COD), total nitrogen (TN), total phosphorus (TP), and chl-${\alpha}$. Land uses of the watersheds associated with these reservoirs were determined for residential, forest, upland, paddy and miscellaneous, and regressed against water quality characteristics. Correlation analysis showed that forest land use was negatively correlated with all the water quality characteristics implying it's beneficial effects in water quality perspectives. Other land uses including residential, upland, and paddy generally illustrated positive correlation with water quality characteristics, which indicates most human activities of the watershed could degrade water quality of the receiving water bodies. Paddy land use partially contributed to the water quality degradation in contrast to the previous studies. It might be attributed to the relatively clean water quality of the study area, where even slight pollutant loading could degrade sensitively water quality. Further investigation is recommended for the effect of proximity as well as land use portions on the water quality of receiving water body.

Water quality of streams and ground water from areas of different agricultural practices in the small catchments of the Han River basin was investigated. Water samples were collected from upper, middle and lower reaches of the Han River Basin where three types of agricultural management have been practiced : (1) highland agriculture and livestocks in Daegwanryung area, (2) typical upland and paddy farmings in Dunnae (Jucheon River) and Chuncheon (Soyang River) areas, and (3) intensive farming in the plastic film house in Guri area (Wangsuk stream). Water quality was monitored for EC, pH, COD, TSS, N, rations and anions. Concentrations of N, especially nitrate, and phosphorus in both stream and ground water exceeded the standard water quality criteria in many cases, but those of heavy metals were non-detectable or trace in most cases, except for Wangsuk stream where a high level was detected in a specific sampling time. Chemical criteria such as pH, EC and COD of the stream were suitable for irrigation purpose, but nitrate concentrations in ground water used in the intensive plastic film house were high enough to require a special management consideration. A model on the irrigation water quality incorporating EC and nitrate concentrations was suggested in view of fertilizer management and environmental quality.
