A simple cultivation method using Jew's mallow (Corchorus olitorius L.) was examined to evaluate the biological quality of 72 upland soils collected from greenhouses in Korea. Each soil was mixed with 4-fold volume of sterilized basal soil having no indigenous chemical and physical problems to lessen the chemical and physical variations among original sample soils. This study assumes that the biological characteristics of each mixture 2 weeks after treatment reflect those of individual sample soil prior to treatment. Jew's mallow (Corchorus olitorius L.) was cultivated for 4 weeks in a pot filled with 250g of each experimental soil and the biological quality of each soil was estimated by the aboveground plant growth. The results indicated that microbial floral quality was explicitly deteriorated in 18 soils having EC above or equal to $5dS\;m^{-1}$. However, in soils having EC below $5dS\;m^{-1}$, some showed a sign of deterioration, while others did not. As this simple method is a kind of bioassay, it dose not require the measurements of microbial numbers and activities.

The significance of soil environment has been gradually increased because of petroleum leak accidents. Comparing with wastewater clean treatments and air pollutant controls, the soil purification requires a long-term process and it is very expensive. In this study, we analyzed the physicochemical properties of total petroleum hydrocarbon (TPH) contaminated in soil. This could be applied to deciding the source of petroleum when a soil contamination accident occurs.

Geotechnical and environmental properties of stone fillers are analyzed by several laboratory experiment to identify the possibility of recycling fillers and sewage dredged soils as construction materials. The result of geotechnjical test shows that the sewage dredged soil is a sandy soil which contains 70-80% sand and is useful as an aggregate of construction site. Stone filler has large fine content, which may disqualifies the use as construction materials. However, this material is still useful as a filler in stone quarries or finished mines. From the environmental test, the liquids leached from two types of materials have satisfied the standard of chemical substances in the soil environment law and no harmful effect in ground pollution is expected when recycling.

지반오염을 조사하기 위해서는 시추작업을 통하여 시료를 채취하는 방법이 일반적이지만, 실시간으로 원위치에서 다양한 오염물질들의 오염도 변화를 체계적으로 모니터링하는 것은 대단히 어렵다. 본 연구에서는 Frequency Domain Reflectometry(FDR) 장비를 고안하여 지반의 유류오염을 파악하기 위한 유전율 측정법의 실험적 접근을 시도하였다. 구체적으로 포화 및 불포화 매질에 대한 오염도의 측정 및 오염도와 체적함수비의 관계를 측정하여 유전율 반응으로부터 매질의 물성치를 파악할 수 있는 것을 확인하였다.

16개 기상관측소에서 채취한 토양 시료에 대한 토양 물성 및 열특성를 측정하였으며 이를 통하여 공극률, 함수비, 충적밀도, 입도 분포, 유기물 함량, 토양구성광물의 종류 및 함량이 열전도도에 미치는 영향을 파악하였다. 상관성 분석결과 입도분포, 유기물함량 및 토양 구성광물의 종류 및 함량은 낮은 상관성을 보였으며 용적밀도 $(R^2=0.60)$, 함수비$(R^2=0.54)$와 공극률$(R^2=0.56)$은 높은 상관성을 보였다. 또한 함수비(2%)와 토양의 종류에 따른 다중회귀 분석을 통하여 토양의 열전도도를 추정할 수 있는 회귀식을 제시하였다.

We have examined the applicability of f-k analysis to the GPR direct wave measurement for water content to characterize vadose zone condition. When the vadose zone consists of a dry surface layer over wet substratum, we obtained f-k spectra where most of the energy is bounded by the air and dry soil velocities. In this case, dry soil velocity was successfully estimated by using high frequency data. On the other hands, when wet soil overlies dry substratum, the f-k spectra show a contrasting response where most of the energy travels with the velocity bounded by dry and wet soil velocities. In this case, the radar waves are trapped and guided within wet soil layer, exhibiting velocity dispersion. By adopting modal propagation theory, we could formulae a simple inversion code to find two layer's dielectric constants as well as layer thickness. By inverting the velocity dispersion curve obtained from f-k spectra of synthetic modeling data, we could obtain good estimates of dielectric constants of each layer as well as first layer thickness. Moreover, we could obtain more accurate results by including the higher mode data. We expect this method will be useful to get the quantitative property of real subsurface when the field condition is similar.
