The nationwide expansion of the agricultural early warning service for agrometeorological disaster would require assessment of geographical and agricultural environmental characteristics by individual region. The development of an efficient computing environment would facilitate such services for the area of study region to deal with various crops and varieties for many farms. In particular, the design of the computing environment would have a considerable impact on the service quality of agriculture meteorology when the scale of computing environments increases for extended service areas. The objectives of this study were to derive the issues on the current computing environment under which services are provided by each region and to seek the solutions to these problems. The self-evaluation through experimental operation for about a year indicated that integration of the early warning service system distributed over different regions would reduce redundant computing procedures and ensure efficient storage and comprehensive management of data. This suggested that the early warning service for agrometeorological disaster would become more stable even when the service areas are to be expanded to the national scale. This would contribute to higher quality services for individual farmers.

하천 및 저수지의 수량자료 수집을 위해 부자식 또는 레이더식 수위계 등의 계측기를 이용하여 수위의 변화를 측정한다. 그러나, 수량 모니터링을 위해 설치되는 계측기와 유지관리를 위한 인력소모 비용의 이유로 일부 지역에서만 제한적으로 수행되고 있어 정확한 수문 해석에 한계가 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 저가의 센싱장비와 라즈베리파이를 활용한 ICT 기술을 수량 모니터링분야에 적용하여 수위 모니터링 기술을 개발하고자 한다. 라즈베리파이(Raspberry Pi 3 B Model)는 오픈소스 기반의 초소형 컴퓨터로 여러 센서를 연결하여 다양한 수문 인자(토양수분, 온도, 수위 등)들을 측정할 수 있으며, 통신 모듈이 기본 내장되어 있어 통신망 구축을 통해 측정데이터를 데이터베이스에 저장할 수 있다. 수위센서(eTape)와 초음파센서를 연결하여 실제 하천 유량 모니터링에 활용되고 있는 부자식 수위계 장비와 비교 분석을 통해 활용 가능성을 검증하고자 하였다. 검증방법은 인공강우실험을 위해 설치된 플륨관에 수위센서(eTape)와 초음파센서를 부착하여 기존 운영중인 부자식 수위계와 비교하였다. 부자식 수위계의 측정결과와 두 센서의 상관관계를 분석한 결과 결정계수(R²)가 0.94 이상으로 나타났다. 분석결과와 같이 기존 고가의 수위 관측장비들을 대체하여 저가의 센서 기반 모니터링 장비들의 실용화가 가능할 것이라 판단된다. 향후 연구에서는 다양한 센서(수위, 초음파, 카메라 등)를 이용하여 농업용수 물수지 분석에 활용할 계획이다. 농업용수는 수자원 총량 중 차지하는 비율이 높음에도 불구하고 정량적 데이터가 부족한 실정이며, 지역별 공급 특성이 다양하여 이를 계량화하기 위해서는 다수의 계측기가 필요하다. 따라서, 본 연구에서 개발중인 센서를 활용하여 물순환 과정의 정량적인 계측을 통해 농업용수의 효율적인 관리 및 농업용수의 하천기여도 평가 자료로 활용될 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

This study was carried out to investigate the chemical characteristics of different organic liquid fertilizer during fermentation at plastic house in Chungbuk Agricultural Research and Extension Service. Chicken dung, soybean meal, and rice bran were used for nutrient sources. The obtained results from this study were summarized as follows; Total nitrogen contained the highest in soybean meal as 55 mg·kg^-1, and phosphate and potassium contained high in chicken dung and rice bran in organic liquid fertilizer materials. The pH of chicken dung was near 7.0, that of soybean meal and rice bran indicated acidity(pH 3.8~4.4). The electrical conductivity of chicken dung consistently increased during fermentation, and that of soybean meal and rice bran increased and decreased early season and increased at late incubation period. Hydrogen sulfide gas occurrence of chicken dung was 3,200 mg·L^-1 at early season and 1,600 mg·L^-1 at late incubation period, and that of soybean meal and rice bran treatments were not or very low concentration of hydrogen sulfide gas during manufacturing period. The nitrogen and calcium content of organic liquid fertilizer were the higher in chicken dung and soybean meal than rice bran. The phosphate and magnesium content of rice bran was the high as 5.6 g·kg^-1 and 1.5 g·kg^-1, respectively. There was no difference in potassium content among the different liquid fertilizers during fermentation.

This study investigated the diversity of butterfly communities inhabiting agroecosystems and examined the effect of latitude and longitude. The ecological characteristics of butterflies inhabiting rural ecosystems, such as habitat preference and food plant range, were also examined. This study was conducted from 2019 to 2022, selecting 10 locations nationwide and conducting line transect surveys every two weeks for four years, confirming a total of 112 species and 21,901 individuals. There was no difference in the number of species and individuals by region, but there was a clear difference in community composition. The most abundant species in rural ecosystems were Pieris rapae, Polygonia c-aureum, Zizeeria maha, and Colias erate, in that order. There was no significant difference in the number of species and individuals by latitude and longitude, indicating no peninsula effect. Habitat preference showed that butterflies preferring grasslands and forest edges were much more common than those preferring the forest interior, and the food breadth was mostly oligophagous, followed by monophagous and polyphagous. Butterflies inhabiting agroecosystems had ecological characteristics that preferred open spaces such as grasslands and forest edges or relatively diverse foods, due to the similarity of the environmental characteristics of the survey points. Through this study, we believe that continuous monitoring is necessary to determine whether climate change, which is currently underway and habitat change are affecting butterflies in agroecosystems.

This study was conducted to evaluate quality characteristics of citron from Namhae. The physicochemical properties, organic acid, free sugar and aroma components were analyzed and compared with citron harvested in different areas of Namhae (Seolcheon, Changseon and Idong-meyon). Total weight of citron was range of 120.51~176.56 g, total and peel weight of citron cultivated from Changseon were significantly higher than the other citron. The color of peel was not significant in cultivated area. Soluble solids was higher in citron from Changseon and Idong than Seolcheon. Total phenol and flavonoids contents in citron from Idong were higher than the others. Organic acids such as citric acid and malic acid were higher in citron from Changseon. The contents of fructose and glucose in peel and sucrose in pulp were detected higher amount. Major component of aroma profiles in citron from different region of was dl-limonene. It was amount to 57.60% in citron from Idong, 71.02% and 73.04% in citron from Seolcheon and Changseon of all aromatic components. These results were suggested that physicochemical properties and aroma components of citron have some difference by cultivation habit, period, different cultivar and producing areas.

This study was carried out to determine effects of the feeding length of spent mushroom composts from selenium-enriched mushroom (Se-SMC) on meat quality and carcass characteristics in finishing Hanwoo steers. A total of 20 steers were used in this trial with four treatments. Treatments included control (no Se-SMC), Se-SMC groups of three different feeding lengths (2, 4, and 6 months). After the completion for each feeding length, steers were slaughtered and then loin muscle (Longissimus dorsi) was sampled to evaluate meat quality characteristics. Chemical compositions of the loin, except for protein content, were not different across treatments. Protein content was highest in 6 months feeding groups, however, it was lowest in 4 months. Physical property and meat color (L*, a* and b* values) were not affected by the feeding length of Se-SMC. However, water holding capacity (WHC) for Se-SMC feeding treatments was significantly more improved (p<0.05) in comparison with the control group, showing 63.8 (2 months), 64.4 (4 months), 64.2 (6 months), and 59.5% (control), respectively. Grades for meat quality and quantity, and carcass characteristics were not affected by feeding length of Se-SMC. Our results showed that Se-SMC supplementation was not significantly associated with parameters for meat quality and carcass characteristics. However, as feeding Se-SMC lengthens, WHC for loin was more improved, suggesting that the improved WC may result in the expression of antioxidant effect.

Due to various environmental changes, the current location of the Gyeongsangbuk-do Agricultural Research & Extension Services needs to be changed to provide an appropriate environment and ecosystem for agricultural research and the efficient provision of public services. Accordingly, this study proposes a standard for selecting the new location. First, the location theory for the transfer of public facilities is investigated, and candidate filtration methods considered for the location selection. The candidate filtration methods include a component inspection, branch shape analysis, and mixed analysis. This study uses a component inspection, where the component criteria include the economic feasibility and ease of development, accessibility and convenience, agricultural conditions, soil conditions, connectivity, fairness, and human resource-richness of the region.

The study of spiders that function as predators in agroecosystem can broaden the understanding of agroecosystems. This study investigated the effect of heterogeneity at different spatial scales on richness and abundance of spiders in upland and paddy fields. We collected 48 samples using pitfall traps at upland and paddy fields, respectively. The total species richness of spiders estimated by sample- and coverage-based rarefaction and extrapolation curves. The total species richness was high in the upland fields at the total study sites, whereas the average species richness per study site was high in the paddy fields. We confirmed that the diversity enhancement of spiders was influenced by the structural complexity of habitat at field-scale, and crop diversity at broader scale.

산사태는 사면에서 발생하는 대표적인 토사재해이다. 그리고 산사태가 발생하여 사면이 붕괴하였을 때 동반되어 나타나는 토석류는 지형 변화의 중요한 원인으로 간주한다. 산사태와 토석류가 도시나 농촌 등 인구가 밀집된 지역에서 발생할 경우 직접적인 인명 피해와 재산 피해를 발생시키며, 댐이나 저수지가 위치한 유역에서 발생할 경우 댐/저수지에 토사가 유입되어 유효저수량을 감소시킴으로써 시설물의 기능을 저하할 수 있다. 댐/저수지의 지속적인 운영과 관리하고 이러한 피해를 최소화하기 위해서는 수치 모형을 활용하여 현상을 이해하고, 분석하는 것이 필수적이다. 하지만 한국은 국토 70%의 산지에 약 18,000개의 댐과 저수지가 설치되어 있으나, 댐과 저수지 유역에서 발생하는 산사태와 토석류에 대한 연구는 미흡한 실정이다. 이에 본 연구는 댐이나 저수지 유역에서 발생하는 산사태-토석류로 인해 해당 시설물에 발생하는 피해를 집중적으로 분석하고자 수치모형을 활용하였다. 또한 산지에서 발생하는 토사재해의 특성을 반영하고자 식생을 고려하기 위한 분포 시나리오를 구축하여 사면 안정성 및 토석류 유동에 있어서 식생의 영향을 파악하였습니다.

댐 및 보, 농업용저수지 등은 저류공간을 활용하여 홍수기 유량을 조절하거나, 가뭄시 용수를 공급하는 등 지표수를 탄력적으로 조절하기 위한 대표적인 저수지 시설이다. 가뭄은 그 원인 및 영향 등에 따라 기상학적, 수문학적 가뭄 및 농업 가뭄 등으로 구분할 수 있으며, 강수 등 기상학적 영향을 가장 먼저 고려할 수 있다. 반면, 기상학적 가뭄이 예상되어도 저수지 시설을 통해 충분한 용수가 확보된 경우 실질적인 물부족은 발생하지 않으며, 따라서 국내에서는 용수 확보 상태를 바탕으로 가뭄을 판단하기 위해 댐 등 저수지 시설의 특성을 고려한 가뭄단계 판단기준을 마련하여 적용하고 있다. 저수지 시설의 가뭄은 기본적으로 과거 기후조건 및 용수 사용량을 반영한 통계적 접근으로 판단할 수 있으나, 유형별 용수이용목적 및 운영기준 등이 상이하여 상세한 가뭄단계 판단기준은 각 저수지 시설의 관리 방안을 반영한 방법론을 통해 수립되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 다목적댐 및 농업용저수지 등 국내 저수지 시설별 가뭄단계 판단기준 적용성을 비교 분석하였으며, 특히 과거 가뭄피해 발생 사례를 바탕으로 각 시설의 가뭄판단 정확도를 평가하였다. 본 연구 결과는 향후 댐 및 저수지 시설을 활용한 효과적인 가뭄대응방안 마련에 기여할 것으로 기대된다.
