본 연구는 남한강 상류의 소지류인 쌍천 유역에 발달한 하성단구의 퇴적물을 모재로 발달한 토양 특성을 조사.분석하였다. 중위 단구의 A1층은 갈색(10YR 4/3)의 미사질토양이고 발달도가 낮은 입상구조이며 B1층은 황갈색(10YR 5/8)의 사질식양토로 아각괴상구조이다. 고위단구의 A1층은 옅은 적갈색(5YR 4/3)의 미사질양토 내지 황갈색(10YR 5/8)의 미사질식토로 발달도가 낮은 아각괴상구조이다. B1층은 적색(2.5YR 3/6)의 사질식토 내지 밝은 적갈색(2.5YR 4/6)의 식양토로 발달도가 양호한 아각괴상구조이다. 고위단구 퇴적층을 모재로 발달한 토양의 구조는 중정도의아각괴상구조이고 조직이 치밀하다. 토양은 A1층, B1층,B2층으로 되어 있으며 또한 B층은 점토가 집적되어 있고 점토 피막이 나타난다. 쌍천의 중위단구상에 발달한 토양은 황갈색토이고 고위 단구상의 토양은 적색토이다. 고위단구 퇴적물을 모재로 발달한 본 적색토는 생성시가가 민델-리스 간빙기의 이전에 생성된 것으로 현재보다 온난한 생물-기후 조건하에서 탈규산화를 동반하는 적색토화작용에 의해 형성된 것으로 추정된다. 고위단구에 발달한 적색토는 토양단면의 형태적 및 물리 화학적인 특성등으로 보아 고적색토로 분류된다.

The purpose of this study is to clarify the relict landform development of fluvial terrace and the soil characteristics occurring on the fluvial deposits. The physico-chemical properties of soil that are developed on terrace deposits and X-ray diffraction analysis of clay were investigated specifically. The horizon of $A_1$ consists of silt loam with reddish-brown color (5YR4/3). Its soil structures is a weak, fine, subangular, and blocky, breaking to granular. The horizon of $B_{1t}\;and\;B_{2t}$ are silt clay with either a yellowish red (5YR5/6), bright red (2.5YR4/6) color. This soil structure is weak, subangular, and blocky, with thin discontinuous bright red (2.5YR4/6) clay cutans and soft manganese concretions. This red soil structure is made on heavy-textures. It is packed compactly with parent materials of high fluvial surface sediments, and usually has a $A_1-B_{1t}-B_{2t}-C$ profile, from top to bottom. In most cases, clay accumulation in the B-horizon and clay cutans on ped surfaces are observed, which means the argillic horizon has formed. The soils derived from fluvial surface deposits are associated with soils. The soils on the high fluvial surface are considered to be a kind of paleo-red soil which were developed by strong desilicification and rubefaction, and strong leaching of bases under warmer bio-climatic condition during the old Pleistocene period. According to these morphological and anlaytical characteristics,geomorphological features and bio-climatic conditions under which the soil have developed on the high terrace sediment indicate that the soil should be classified as paleo-red soils.

The purpose of this study is to clarify the landform development of fluvial terrace and the soil characteristics occurring on the terrace deposit. In order to achieve the purpose, the characteristics of soil profiles, the physic-chemical properties of soils that are developed on terrace deposits and X-ray diffraction analysis of clay were investigated. The horizon of Al in the high fluvial surface is silt clay loam of red (2YR 4/6). The soil structure is a developed granular structure. The horizon of B1 is silt clay reddish-brown (2.5YR 4/6). The soil structure is a medium subangular blocky structure. This red soil structure is made on heavy textured and compactly packed parent materials of high terrace sediments and usually has A-B-C profile. In most cases, clay accumulations in B-horizon and clay cutans on ped surfaces are observed, which mean the formation of agrillic horizon. As the result of this study, soils derived from fluvial terrace deposits on high fluvial surfaces are considered paleo-red soil which were developed by pedogenese-strong desilicification and rubefaction and strong leaching of bases- under warmer bio-climatic condition during in the old Pleistocene period.

The estimation of the Last Interglacial sea level was made by using the thalassostatic terrace which had been developed in the lower reach of Namdaechon river in Kangneung, eastern coastal area of Korea. The fluvial terraces, which have been developed since late Pleistocene, were investigated. The main findings were as follows; 1) That Kangneung terrace I had been formed in the climax period of the Last Interglacial (Oxygen isotope stage 5e) was revealed. It was estimated that Kangneung terrace II had been formed during a certain warmer period between the climax period of the Last Interglacial and the early Last Glacial(probably Oxygen isotope stage 5c or 5a). 2) Being judged from the relative heights of the Kangneung terrace I and II, the sea levels of the formation periods of these terraces were estimated to have been relatively 17~20m and l0m higher than the present sea level, respectively. 3) The formation periods of the Wangsan terrace I and II were supposed to be the early and late Last Glacial respectively, being judged from the following 3 details ; a) the characteristics of the terrace deposits, b) the relation Wangsan terrace II to the buried valley floor, and c) the cross phenomena of the above two terraces to the Kangneung terraces. 4) The formation period of the pseudogleyed red soil in the Kangneung terrace I was estimated to be the middle or late period of the Last Interglacial.

In Korean peninsula as well as in Western European Countries, we can find, reddish bands in sandy deposits of various origin. These bands (called "$B_t$ Band"), composed of fine material, are regularly intervalled and parallel to topography. This study is tring to elucidate their origin and associated milieux, with a group of methods and techniques (field survey, micromorphological analysis, granulometry, X-ray diffractometry of clay minerals...). $B_t$ Bands are not sedimentological origin. They were formed by superposition of two type accumulations in the sandy profile, triggered by different mechanisms: 1) accumulation in banded form, concerning silty heterometric material and micas, oweing to cryophoretic forces operating in course of deep freezing of sandy deposits: 2) illuviation of ferrugineous clays in the precedants bands, migrated in chelate state by soil water. The first processes are associated with very cold and humid climate in which freeze soil more than 3m in depth. The second, cold and humid climate in which podzolizattion is generalized. In case of South Korea and Western Europe, these two types of climates are not present circumstance, but Recent Quaternary (probably since the Wurm).the Wurm).

To clarify the soil characteristics and genesis of the clayey terrace soils distributed in Yeongcheon (inland region) and Yeongil (coastal region), 9 typifying pedons including a recent local deposits were studied. The physico-chemical properties found were summarized as follows; 1. The contents of available water of the terrace soils were ranged from 12.0 to 20.3%. They were increased with increaseing clay content up to 35%, and then decreased at clay content of 35 to 55%, but were maintained about 12 to 13% when the clay content exceeds 55%. 2. The amount of water stable aggregates in the surface soils were ranged from 55.0 to 81.1%, and were low in cultivated upland where water erosion were accelerated while high in the paddy where the double cropping were practiced. The index of aggregate in cultivated upland were higher in the surface soils but the paddy soils were higher in subsoils. 3. The colloidal reactions checked by the differences between pH in $0.01N-Na_2SO_4$ and $H_2O$ indicate exchangeable acidity to exchangeable neutrality, which means a sort of Red-yellow soil forming process had been prevailed during genesis of the terrace soils. 4. Cation exchange capacity of the clayey terrace soils were averaged about 15.8-20.2me/100g of fine earth and 35.6-52.6me/100g of clay. The rates of base saturation were 32.7 to 57.6% and the rates decreased with increasing the elevations of terraces. 5. The activities of free iron oxides were 0.061 to 0.739 and the values decreased with increasing elevation while the crystallinity index of iron oxides positively correlated with elevations the values ranged from 0.067 to 0.537.
