This study was focused on the investigation of the characteristics of TPH and BTEX removal in oil-contaminated sandy soil and fine soil with injection of microorganisms, nutrients, and surfactants. As the result of the experiments maintained moisture contents by 10${\sim}$20%, the TPH removal efficiency in oil-contaminated sandy soil was the highest in C-1 (microorganisms+nutrients), and the efficiency in C-2 (microorganisms+nutrients+surfactants) was higher than the efficiency in C-0(microorganisms). In 81 days, TPH removal efficiency in case of C-0, C-1 and C-2 showed 51%, 83%, 63% respectively. The results of D group with fine soil showed similar trends as C group, but the TPH removal efficiency of D group was lower than that of C group. Those of both C and D group were the highest in 1 group (microganisms+nutrients). The pH of fine soil was some lower than that of sandy soil or was similar to sandy soil. In 14 days, BTEX removal efficiency in case of C-0, C-1, C-2, D-0, D-1 and D-2 showed 99.8%, 99.4%, 96.0%, 99.5%, 99.2%, 96.3% respectively. Those of both C and D group were the highest in 0 group (microganisms).

Asian dust was collected in Korea and soils in the arid area of northern China were analysed for its physical and chemical properties, and mineral compositions for in order to interpret the origin of Aeolian soils and estimate the effect of dust wind on the soil environment in Korea. Asian dust was collected at Suwon in Korea from 2002 to 2004. Soil samples were collected from the desert and Loess plateaus around Gobi desert in China. As a result of analysis of desert soil distributed on northern region and Loess soils in China, it was observed that soil pH was about 9, organic matter 11 to $23g\;kg^{-1}$, and CEC 7.1 to $18.4cmolc\;kg^{-1}$, showing a high spatial variation among different sampling locations. About 62 to 80% of particles were composed of quartz and feldspars, 2 to 14% calcite ($CaCO_3$) and dolomite [$Ca{\cdot}Mg(CO_3)_2$], and trace other clay minerals. All the dust particles in Korea were below 50 m in diameter, and the mineral compositions were quartz, mica, feldspar and some clay minerals. Major components of clay mineral of Asian dust was mainly illite as compared to the kaolin of soils in Korea. The base saturation of exchangeable Ca, Mg, K and Na in the Asian dust was above 250% due to the high content calcite. Most of upland soil in Suwon was thin and sharp type, but Asian dust in Korea was the spherical shape. Asian dusts in Suwon, Korea, did not show a definite mineralogical variation of the dust during the collection period. Difference between the Asian dust collected in Korea and the soils in arid area of China was observed in the physical and chemical properties, especially for particle size distribution, cations such as Ca, Mg, K and Na. However, some similarities were found on the mineral compositions and chemical properties between Asian dust collected in Korea and the loess of China.

The ultimate goal of this research is to develop a botanical biofiltration system that combines a green interior, biofiltering, and automatic irrigation to purify indoor air pollutants according to indoor space and the size of biofilter. This study was performed to compare the stability of air flow characteristics and removal efficiency (RE) of fine dust within a wall-typed (vertical) botanical biofilter depending on humidifying cycle and to investigate RE of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) by the biofilter. The biofilter used in this experiment was designed as an integral form of water metering pump, water tank, blower, humidifier, and multi-level planting space in order to be suitable for indoor space utilization. As a result, relative humidity, air temperature, and soil moisture content (SMC) within the biofilter showed stable values regardless of three different humidifying cycles operated by the metering pump. In particular, SMCs were consistently maintained in the range of 27.1-29.7% during all humidifying cycles; moreover, a humidifying cycle of operating for 15 min and pausing for 45 min showed the best horizontal linear regression (y = 0.0008x + 29.09) on SMC ($29.0{\pm}0.2%$) during 120 hour. REs for number of fine dust (PM10) and ultra-fine dust (PM2.5) particles passed through the biofilter were in the range of 82.7-89.7% and 65.4-73.0%, respectively. RE for weight of PM10 passed through the biofilter was in the range of 58.1-78.9%, depending on humidifying cycle. REs of xylene, ethyl benzene, total VOCs (TVOCs), and toluene passed through the biofilter were in the range of 71.3-75.5%, while REs of benzene and formaldehyde (HCHO) passed through the biofilter were 39.7% and 44.9%, respectively. Hence, it was confirmed that the wall-typed botanical biofilter suitable for indoor plants was very effective for indoor air purification.

Influence of various rates of fractionated raw cow manure on hydraulic conductivity of the soil was observed. The fractionated raw cow manure(hereafter as FRCM) incorporated into soil. The hydraulic conductivity was measured for the double-layered soil while maintaining the water head by 5 cm over the soil surface. The influence on the mobility of $NO_3{^-}$-N transformed from the FRCM was analyzed. The upper layers (Wolgok series) were made with FRCM ranging from 0% to 10.4 % on weight basis for air-dried soil while the organic matter in the bottom layers (Chungwon series) was removed by combustion. The initial bulk densities for both layers were adjusted to $1.25g\;cm^{-3}$. In this experiment the $K_{sat}$ for the upper layer gradually decreased from $4.71{\times}10^{-3}cm\;min^{-1}$ to $1.2{\times}10^{-3}cm\;min^{-1}$ with increasing the rate of the FRCM from 0 % to 10.4%, while the Ksat of the bottom layer was maintained as $3.7cm\;min^{-1}$. For the double-layered soil columns, the $K_{sat}$ decreased with increasing rate of FRCM at the upper layer from $1.7{\times}10^{-3}cm\;min^{-1}$ to $8{\times}10^{-4}cm\;min^{-1}$ as the rate of organic matter increased from 0 % to 10.4 %, while it took almost 7 days to 64 days to obtain the steady state $K_{sat}$ The elution patterns of $NO_3{^-}$-N and $NH_4{^+}$-N showed that the amounts of both $NO_3{^-}$-N and $NH_4{^+}$-N rapidly approached to the maximum ranging from $14.8mmol_c\;kg^{-1}$ to $0.58mmol_c\;kg^{-1}$ as the rate of FRCM decreased from 10.7 % to 0 % which is equivalent to indigenous amount of $NO_3{^-}$-N and $NH_4{^+}$-N. And the amounts of $NO_3{^-}$-N were approximately three or four time than those of $NH_4{^+}$-N, indicating that the transformation rate of $NO_3{^-}$-N was improved by the higher FRCM rate. Thus, the ability of a soil to supply N can be predicted from its mineralization parameters and leaching potentials influenced by water flow regime in soil.

In order to collect basic data of soil environment in the Vicinity of King Sejong Station, King George Island, Antarctica, the physico-chemical characteristics of soils were investigated. Soil samples were collected in Barton Peninsula from 13 sites according to direction from the Sejong Cape. Soils from 13 sites were divided into three groups. The sand percentage of soils were much higher as above 90% than silt and clay percentages of soils at the all sites. Soil texture was classified sandy (10 sites) and loamy sand (3 sites). In distribution characteristics at different soil particles according to direction, large particles ($>500{\mu}m$) were higher in the order of Group 1 (Marian cove coast regions) > Group 2 (Inland regions) > Group 3 (Maxwell bay coast regions). On the other hand, small particles ($<355{\mu}m$) were higher in the order of Group 3 > Group 2 > Group 1. Chemical characteristic of soils showed significant differences at different areas. pH ranged 4.5-6.7, showing it was slightly acid and EC ranged $0.06-0.16dS\;m^{-1}$. T-N, OM and T-C contents were high at #6, #8, #12 and #13 sites. T-P and P2O5 contents were high at #9 and #12 sites. The results of this study will be helpful to understand soil environment in the Antarctic Peninsula and surrounding islands.

한국을 비롯하여 논농사 중심지역에서는 하천 주변이 과거에는 농경지로, 그리고 오늘날은 도시지역으로 개발되어 하천의 원형이 거의 유지되지 못하고 있다. 하천은 수역과 수변으로부터 거리에 따라 여러 개의 이질적 생태적 공간이 이어지는 복합생태계로서 하나의 경관으로 볼 수 있다. 하천이 하나의 온전한 생태적 계로서 기능을 발휘하기 위해서는 이들을 모두 포함하는 하천의 원형이 복원되어야 한다. 현존하는 하천복원사업이 수변 구역의 복원에 초점을 맞추고 있지만, 진정한 복원이 이루어지기 위해서는 온전한 강변 식생의 복원이 선결과제이다. 본 연구에서는 유적군락의 형태로 잔존하는 강변 식생을 조사하여 식생복원 모델로 삼고자 한다. 수위와 침수체제에 의해 하천의 횡단구조를 수변, 홍수터 및 제방으로 구분한 후 각 지소의 적합한 식생단위를 구분하여 생태적 복원을 실현하기 위한 정보를 구축하였다. 수변식생으로는 달뿌리풀군락과 갈대군락이 자주 출현하고, 홍수터에는 갯버들군락과 키버들군락이 우세하였다. 그 중 전자의 식물군락은 하상재료가 거친 입자의 지소에 성립하고, 후자의 것은 미세한 입자의 지소에 성립하는 경향이었다. 제방역에는 버드나무군락, 다릅나무군락, 귀룽나무군락, 물푸레나무군락, 산사나무군락, 신나무군락(한탄강 지류), 참느릅나무군락, 물푸레나무-갈참나무군락(한탄강 본류), 오리나무군락(민통선 북방지역), 소나무군락, 황철나무군락, 느릅나무군락(소양강 상류), 왕버들군락(금강 중류) 등이 성립하였다. 이러한 식생정보를 하천의 지리적인 위치에 따라 구분하였고, 생태적 복원 시 도입식물을 결정하기 위한 자료로 삼기 위해 각 식생단위를 이루는 종 조성을 정보 체계화하였다.을 효율적으로 하기 위하여 Solar Unit으로부터 나오는 전기를 중전기에서 밧데리로 축전을 시키고 완전 충전 후에는 나머지 전기는 방전이 되도록 회로를 구성하였다. 사통수문 자원조사 결과에 의하면 현재 저수지에 물공급을 하는 수문은 취수탑 형식이 70% 이상을 차지하고 있으며 나머지 30%의 사통수문 중 원형수문비가 98% 이상을 차지하고 있다. 현재 대체에너지를 사용하는 저수지 사통수문은 없는 것으로 조사되었으며 전력을 사용하는 사통도 조사결과에 의하면 20% 이내로 나타났다. 이러한 결과는 향후 수리시설 개보수시 적은 예산으로 사업을 시행하는 경우 사통수문의 설치방향의 지표가 될 것으로 판단되며 수리시설의 운영관리에 대한 새로운 대안으로 제시할 수 있다.분류되었다. 지표 유거가 많아 배수등급이 매우양호로 분류되던 토양은 정 등(1995)의 분류와 비교하여 대부분 강우 유출 가능성이 큰 쪽으로 조정되었다. 새로운 수문학적 토양유형을 이용할 경우 낮은 토심에서 암반층이 발견되는 산림토양이 분포한 유역이나 산림, 밭 등에 식질 토양이 많이 분포하는 유역에서는 기존의 방법을 이용하는 것보다 강우 유출량이 높게 평가될 것으로 판단된다. 앞으로 강우 유출량 실측자료와의 비교를 통해 지속적인 보정을 하여야 할 것이며 특히 불투수층의 존재시 일괄적으로 D유형으로 분류된 토양의 경우 깊이에 따라 C 또는 D 유형으로 세분하여 조정할 필요가 있다.가 있었다. 에틸아세테이트분회물의 경우 디글로로메탄 분회물에 비해 다소 낮은 저해효과를 나타내었지만 250 ${\mu}$g/ml 농도에서 약 60%의 세포독성 효과를 나타내었다. 디클로로메탄 분획물과 에틸아세테이트 분

For sustainable lunar exploration, the most required resources should be procured on site because it takes tremendous cost to transfer the resources from the Earth to the Moon. The technologies required for use of lunar resources refers to In-Situ Resource Utilization (ISRU). As the ISRU technology cannot be verified in the Earth, a lunar surface environment simulator is necessary to be prepared in advance. The Moon has no atmosphere, and the average temperature of the lunar surface reaches to $107^{\circ}C$ during the daytime and $-153^{\circ}C$ at night. The lunar surface is also covered with very fine soils with sharp particles that are electrostatically charged by solar radiation and solar wind. In this research, generation of vacuum environment with lunar soil mass in a chamber and simulation of electrostatically charged soils are taken into consideration. It was successful to make a vacuum environment of a chamber including lunar soils without soil disturbance by controlling evacuation rate of a vacuum chamber. And an experiment procedure for simulating the charged lunar soil was suggested by theoretical consideration in charging phenomena on lunar dust.

Oryzalin is a herbicide that disrupts the arrangement of microtubules by binding to tubulin, thereby blocking the anisotropic growth of plant cells. Microtubules and microfilaments are cytoskeleton components that have been implicated in plant growth through their influence on the formation of cell walls. Microtubules also play roles in the sedimentation of amyloplasts in the root tip columella cells; this sedimentation is related to gravity sensing and results in downward root growth in the soil for absorption of water and minerals. However, the orientation of microtubules changes depending on the level of ethylene in plant cells. A recent study reported that oryzalin stimulated ethylene production via 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid (ACC) synthase and ACC oxidase and caused a concentration-dependent inhibition of root growth and gravitropic responses. The aim of the present study was to investigate the possibility that oryzalin-induced inhibition might be recovered by the application of inhibitors of ethylene production, such as 10-4 M cobalt ions and 10-8 M aminoethoxyvinylglycine (AVG). The inhibition of root growth and gravitropic response was overcome by 10-20% by an 8 hr treatment with cobalt ions or AVG. These results suggest that ethylene levels could regulate root growth and gravitropic responses in Arabidopsis.

포장도로에서 발생되는 미세먼지는 주로 자동차의 운행에 의한 직접 배출되는 입자와 도로 표면에서 비산되는 토양입자 그리고 타이어나 브레이크 패드의 마모에 의한 고무 및 석면 둥 다양한 배출원에 의해 발생되는데, 도로 주변의 배출원에 의해 많은 영향을 받을 것으로 판단된다. (최금찬등, 1996) 특히 인천에는 많은 비산먼지 배출원이 산재하여 있어, 이 들 배출원들의 영향이 여타 대도시보다 클 것으로 판단된다. 따라서, 본 연구에서는 인구와 교통량이 많고 공업활동이 활발한 인천지역의 주요 포장도로(H-ADT: High Average Daily Traffic, 5,000대/일 이상인 도로)에서 채취한 silt를 주거지역, 공업지역, 상업지역, 기타지역별로 채취하여 화학적 성분분석을 통해 지역별 특성을 조사하여, 각 지역 별 포장도로에서의 silt의 기원이 무엇인지를 추정하는 기초자료를 구축하고자하였다.
