The measurement of pH in the rhizosphere soil was conducted to clarify whether the growth of pokeberry plants affect the acidity of rhizosphere soil in two environmentally contrasting area Ulsan and Chongju city. The rhizosphere pH between 5.25 and 5.33 was shown in the pokeberry stand at Mt. Boomo located at Chongju. The rhizosphere pH of pokeberry stands at Mt. Bongdae, Mt. Sinsun and Mt. Totchil was below 5.0, and did not differ with depth and distance from the main axis of root. At Mt. Bongdae, however, the pH in the rhizosphere soil was significantly changed with soil depths though that was not changed horizontally. The rhizosphere pH at top soil was lower than that at subsoil, which indicates the fact that soil acidification at Mt. Bongdae was not caused by pokeberry plants. Furthermore, the rhizosphere pH did not change with the growth of pokeberry plants. These results indicate that the hypothesis that pokeberry plants acidify local soil environment should be reconsidered.

In this study farm soil was tested under artificial acid rain(pH = 5.34), which is average pH of Pusan metropolitan area. and to find out the soil's acid neuralization capacity, soil acidity, CEC(cation exchange capacity)and akaline meatals, such as K, Ca and Na were tested. Because oyster shells(OS) had portion of alkaline metals, OS could play a role in acid soil amendment. And soil addition of sewage treatment sludge(STS) could be a alternative for disposal method. The purpose of this study is to evlauate acid soil amendment using STS and OS. In case of soil and STS, mixing ratio was10:0, 9:1, 8:2, 7:3. And STS mixed OS was also added in acid soil as same ratio as STS. Throught the experiment, soil acidity was stationary state with slight decrease, and CEC was also stationary state but with slight increase. Allkaline metals showed differences in concentration, but all of them were tend to decrease. In conclusion, STS mixed OS could play a part in amendment of acid soil.

본 연구에서는 광산 인근 토양에서 산성비를 비롯한 침출수에 의한 지하 환경 오염 메카니즘을 검토하고, 오염 방지 및 교정과 대안의 효과를 정량화 하기 위한 방안을 고찰하였다. 이를 위하여 중금속인 비소의 오염도가 높은 토양을 대상으로 인위적 산성용액에 의한 비소의 용출을 실험적으로 검토하였다. 한편, 산성 침출오염수에 의한 지하 환경의 오염을 방지하기 위하여 석회석을 활용한 토양의 안정화방법의 효과를 살펴보았다. 오염된 시료토양에 포함된 비소는 pH 1 이하의 강산성 용액일수록 격렬히 용출되었으며, pH 값이 낮아질 수록 최대 용출량은 증가되는 것으로 나타났다. 석회석에 의한 토양 안정화방안은 매우 효과적이었으며, 석회석에 의한 산성용액의 중화반응 특성식은 미반응 핵 모델중에서 화학반응이 속도지배인 특성식에 잘 부합되는 것으로 보여진다.

In order to evaluate the effect of gamma ray irradiation to the soils added with several organic matters on release sad fixation of $^{65}Zn$, a soil incubation test was carried out by use of an acidic and a calcareous soil. The results obtained were summarized as follows : DTPA extractable $^{65}Zn$ decreased gradually with elapsed time of incubation owing to fixation of $^{65}$Zn by the soils but after four weeks DTPA extractable $^{65}Zn$ was reached an equilibrium state. The most parts of $^{65}Zn$ activity in the equilibrium state was found in the solid phase. The extent of zinc fixation in acidic Keumgok and calcareous Jecheon soils represented as activity basis was 89 and 93.7 per cent of applied $^{65}Zn$ respectively. Increased tendency of DTPA extractable zinc was shown by irradiating gamma ray to both soils because of $^{65}Zn$ fixation could be decreased by irradiation. The extractability of fixed $^{65}Zn$ by DTPA solution was 38.9 per cent in acidic Keumgok soil and only 9.5 per cent in calcareous Jecheon soil. Release of fixed $^{65}Zn$ by irradiation of gamma ray is closely related to pH of both soils. Much more $^{65}Zn$ could be released under low pH condition. Effect of gamma ray irradiation to organic matter sources on release of $^{65}Zn$ could not be differentiated. But in the case of nonirradiated soils, however, glucose treated soils couldrelease much more the extractable zinc as compared to those of the straw or cellulose treatment.

동북아시아 지역은 대기오염물질의 배출량이 증가하고 있는 실정이며, 특히 중국은 이 지역의 SOx와 NOx 배출량의 많은 부분을 차지하고 있다. 또한 이 지역은 입자 중 토양 성분의 농도가 높고, 토양 입자의 이동이 활발하다 주로 중국 동해안에 집중되어 있는 배출원에서 배출된 산성 대기오염물질과 토양성분의 입자가 장거리 이동을 통하여 배출지 이외의 지역을 전달될 가능성이 있는데, 이러한 장거리 이동 중에 SOx와 NOx 등의 기체상 산성물질은 SO$_4$$^{2-}$ 와 NO$_3$$^{-}$등의 입자상 산성 물질로 변환하여 침적될 수 있다.

영국을 비롯한 유럽의 많은 농경지에서는 대기 중으로 아황산가스의 방출량 감소로 유황의 천연공급이 적어짐에 따라 일부 농작물의 수량 감소로 이어졌다. 반대로 자연식생하의 토양에서는 이같은 산성물질의 강하로 산성화가 진행되고 있다. 산성화의 범위와 정도를 규명하기 위하여 산성 물질의 임계부하량 연구를 추진하게 되었다. 이 결과 스코틀랜드의 많은 지역의 토양이 부하량 이상으로 산성물질이 강하되어 식물 및 생태계생존과 다양성을 위협하는 것으로 나타났다.

Acid sulfate soil (ASS) and potential acid sulfate soil (PASS) are distribution in worldwide and originate from sedimentary process, volcanic activity, or metamorphism and are problematic in agriculture and environmental due to their present and potential acidity developed by the oxidation. The PASS was defined as soil materials that had sulfidic layer more than 20 cm thick within 4 m of the soil profile and contained more than 0.15% of total-sulfur (T-S). A tentative interpretative soil classification system was proposed weak potential acid sulfate (T-S, 0.15-0.5%), moderate potential acid sulfate (T-S, 0.5-0.75%) and strong potential acid sulfate (T-S, more than 0.75%). PASS due to excess of pyrite over soil neutralizing capacity are formed. It provides no information on the kinetic rates of acid generation or neutralization; therefore, the test procedures used in acid base account (ABA) are referred to as static procedures. The net acid generation (NAG) test is a direct method to measure the ability of the sample to produce acid through sulfide oxidation and also provides and indication. The NAG test can evaluated easily whether the soils is PASS. The samples are mixed sandy loam and the PAS from the hydrothermal altered andesite (1:3, 1:8, 1:16, 1:20, 1:40, 1:80 and 1:200 ratios) in this study. We could find out that the NAG pH of the soil containing 0.75% of T-S was 2.5, and that of the soil has 0.15% of T-S was 3.8. NAG pH test can be proposed as soil classification criteria for the potential acid sulfate soils. The strong type has NAG pH of 2.5, the moderate one has NAG pH of 3.0, and the weak one has NAG pH of 3.5.
