This study was conducted to understand the influence of soil compaction on root growth and nutrient uptake characteristics of the soybean roots grown in two soils with different texture. Tap root elongation was measured on young seedling grown in cores compacted to different bulk densities of 1.2, 1.4 and $1.6/cm^3$ with different soil water retention in laboratory. The soil used were Samgag sandy loam and Baegsan loam soils. The wet and dry weight, total length, average radius and total surface area of roots were measured on soybean plants grown in 1/5000 a Wagner pots compacted to different bulk density of 1.2 and $1.4g/cm^3$. The nutrient uptake of soybean shoot was measured and evaluated with the unit surface area of roots at the 7th, 17th and 27th days after germination. The results were as follows: 1. The tap root elongation rate was faster in the loam soil with low bulk density than in the sandy loam soil with high bulk density. The elongation rates were remarkedly decreased when soil water was lower than the retention of 4 bars in loam soil and that of 1 bars in sandy loam soil. 2. Tap root elongation rate sharply decreased as increased soil strength higher than $2kgf/cm^2$ measured by ELE penetrometer showing curvillinear regression. However, it was low regardless of soil strength when soil water retention was 10 bars in sandy loam soil. 3. From the pot experiment, the total length of roots were longer in loam soil than in sandy loam soil and was longer in the soils with lower bulk density. The average radius of fine roots grown in sandy loam soil was larger than that grown in loam soil. The total surface area of roots was greater in the loam soil with low bulk density than in the sandy loam soil with high bulk density as the total length of roots. 4. The amounts of nutrient uptake by soybean shoots were greater in loam soil primarily due to more production of dry matter than in sandy loam soil. The nitrogen influx rates through the unit surface area were 597 to $753nmoles/day-cm^2$ in loam soil and 222 to $365nmoles/day\;cm^2$ in sandy loam soilshowing higher value in higher bulk density. The potasium influx rates were 99 to $175nmoles/day-cm^2$, and those of phosphate were 26 to $46nmoles/day\;cm^2$. Those of Ca and Mg were 175 to 246 and 163 to $205nmoles/day\;cm^2$. The difference in nutrient influx rates between bulk densities of these elements were lower than that of nitrogen.

This study was carried out to improve chemical properties of salt-accumulated plastic film house soil. Compressed expansion rice hull was applied at 0, 2.5, 5.0, $7.5Mg\;ha^{-1}$, and drip irrigation was initiated at -33 kilopascals (kPa) of soil water potential and ceased adjusted up to -10 kPa. Another treatment was the application of inflated rice hull at $5.0Mg\;ha^{-1}$ with drip irrigation starting at soil water potential -20 kPa and adjusted to -10 kPa. Lettuce(Lactuca sativa L.) was cultivated at sandy loam soil with $5.1dS\;m^{-1}$ of electrical conductivity (EC). $EC_w$(1:5) of plots treated with $5.0Mg\;ha^{-1}$ of inflated rice hull and irrigated at the point of -20 kPa and -33 kPa of soil water potential was reduced by 26% and 24% less than untreated control plot, respectively. Soil $EC_w$(1:5) has close relationship with $Cl^-$ as well as $NO_3{^-}-N$ and $SO{_4}^{2-}$ in the soil. Total nitrogen in leaf of lettuce was deficient in the earlier growth stage. The yield of lettuce increased by 6% by the application of inflated rice hull of $5.0Mg\;ha^{-1}$ with drip irrigation starting at -33 kPa of soil water potential. It decreased 4% when the drip irrigation was stated at -20 kPa of soil water potential. The amount of water used for irrigation was reduced with the increasing application of inflated rice hull. The watering initiated at the point of -33 kPa was more economical compared with starting at -20 kPa.

신뢰성 있는 수문순환모의를 위해서 다양한 수문모형이 사용되고 있다. 그 중 대표적인 수문모형인 강우-유출 모형은 유역에 발생한 강우에 반응하는 유출특성을 평가하는데 이용된다. 강우-유출 과정은 강우량, 유출량, 도달시간 및 토양수분 등과 연관된 매개변수들의 최적화 과정을 통해서 추정된다. 하지만 동일한 강우사상이라도 다양한 매개변수들로 인하여 상당히 다른 유출패턴을 나타내기 때문에 수문순환 과정을 정확히 모의하기 위해서 강우-유출 분석시 불확실성 분석이 필수적으로 요구된다. 불확실성 분석은 통계학에서도 쉽지 않은 연구내용으로서 가장 진보된 불확실성 분석기법인 Bayesian 기법은 매개변수의 추정과 불확실성 분석을 동시에 수행할 수 있는 방법으로 매개변수들은 사후분포(posterior distribution)로 귀결되며 최종적으로 확률분포형의 형태를 가진다. 본 연구에서는 국내외적으로 널리 사용되는 단기유출 모형 HEC-1 모형에 Bayesian 기법을 연계하여 대상유역의 도달시간, 저류상수 및 CN No. 최적화 및 불확실성 평가를 수행하였다. 연구결과 Bayesian 기법을 통한 매개변수 최적화 결과는 안정적인 수렴결과를 확인하였으며, 확률강우량을 입력자료로 사용하여 산정된 빈도별 홍수수분곡선의 불확실성 분석을 통하여 향후 수공구조물의 위험도 분석 및 수자원계획 수립시 유용한 자료로 사용될 것으로 판단된다.

Nine soil media when placed over a plastic sheet with three seeding rates were evaluated for influence on covering rate, height, growth, surface hardness, tear strength and sod establishment of Kentucky bluegrass. 1. Bark, peat and vermiculite over a plastic sheet had good effect in terms of the establishment of Kentucky bluegrass sod. 2. The good establishment of Kentucky bluegrass sod grown on bark, peat and vermiculite over a plastic sheet seemed to be caused by physical and chemical properties of each soil medium. 3. Sand, sandy loam, perlite and peatmoss caused poor effects on the covering rate, the growth, and the tear strength of Kentucky bluegrass. 4. Optimum seeding rate was $10g/m^2$ in terms of density and competition. 5. Good quality sod more depended on soil media than on seeding rates in this study.

최근 전 세계적으로 이상기후가 발생하고 있으며, 국내에서도 과거에 경험하지 못했던 자연재해가 빈번하게 발생하고 있는 추세이다. 가뭄은 홍수와 더불어 그 피해가 가장 큰 자연재해 중 하나이며, 장주기적이고 광역적으로 발생함에 따라 구체적인 발생시기, 장소, 원인을 파악하는 것이 어렵다. 그동안 국내에서는 가뭄극복을 위해 다양한 대책을 마련해 왔음에도 불구하고 가뭄피해는 지속적으로 증가하고 있다. 실례로 2014~2015 가뭄으로 소양강 댐은 역대 최저수위를 기록하였으며, 일부 지역에서는 제한급수, 농업용수 부족 피해가 발생한 바 있다. 이처럼 가뭄으로 인한 피해는 기후 변화의 영향으로 더욱 빈번할 것이라는 보고가 있어 가뭄해석을 위한 지속적인 노력이 필요하다. 가뭄해석에는 일반적으로 가뭄의 시작, 끝, 지속기간, 발생간격, 누적심도 등을 사용하며, 이를 가뭄특성인자라고 한다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 인위적인 시설물의 영향을 배제한 자연가뭄지수(Natural Drought Index, NDI)를 이용하여 국내 5개 행정구역의 지역별 가뭄특성을 분석하였다. 자연가뭄지수의 산정을 위해 입력자료는 3개월 누적강수량, 누적유출량, 평균토양수분량을 사용하였으며, 강수량은 국내 ASOS 59개 지점 자료, 유출량 및 토양수분량은 지표수문해석모형의 결과를 이용하였다. 가뭄특성 분석기간은 1977~2012년이며, 가뭄특성인자는 가뭄의 시작, 끝, 지속기간, 발생간격을 활용하였다. 과거 가뭄피해사례와, SPI, SRI, SSI 및 NDI의 가뭄특성인자를 비교하였으며, 정량적 비교를 위해 평균오차, 평균절대오차를 사용하였다. 가뭄특성인자 분석 결과 NDI는 가뭄의 시작과 끝을 가장 정확하게 반영하였다. 가뭄의 지속기간은 NDI, 발생간격은 NDI와 SPI가 정확한 것으로 나타났다. 자연가뭄지수는 단일변량 가뭄지수에 비해 지역적 가뭄특성을 정확하게 재현한다는 점에서 추후 가뭄감시에 유용하게 활용될 것으로 판단된다.

The lower portion of sloping paddy fields normally contains excessive moisture and the higher water table caused by the inflow of ground water from the upper part of the field resulting in non-uniform water content distribution. Four drainage methods namely Open Ditch, Vinyl Barrier, Pipe Drainage and Tube Bundle for multiple land use were installed within 1-m position from the lower edge of the upper embankment of sloping alluvial paddy fields. Knowledge of the spatial variability of soil water properties is of primary importance for management of agricultural lands. This study was conducted to evaluate the effect of drainage in the soil on spatial variability of soil water content using the geostatistical analysis. The soil water content was collected by a TDR (Time Domain Reflectometry) sensor after the installation of subsurface drainage on regular square grid of 80 m at 20 m paddy field located at Oesan-ri, Buk-myeon, Changwon-si in alluvial slopping paddy fields ($35^{\circ}22^{\prime}$ N, $128^{\circ}35^{\prime}$). In order to obtain the most accurate field information, the sampling grid was divided 3 m by 3 m unit mesh by four drainage types. The results showed that spatial variance of soil water content by subsurface drainage was reduced, though yield of soybean showed the same trends. Value of "sill" of soil water content with semivariogram was 9.7 in Pipe Drainage, 86.2 in Open Ditch, and 66.8 in Vinyl Barrier and 15.7 in Tube Bundle.

To understand functional changes of forest ecosystems due to climate change, correlation between decomposition rate of leaf litter, an important function of forest ecosystems, and microclimatic factors was analyzed. After 48 months elapsed, percent remaining weight of Quercus mongolica leaf litter was 27.1% in the east aspect and 37.0% in the west aspects. Decay constant of Q. mongolica leaf litter was 0.33 in the east aspect and 0.25 in the west aspect after 48 months elapsed. Initial C/N ratio of Q. mongolica leaf litter was 38.5. After 48 months elapsed, C/N ratio of decomposing Q. mongolica leaf litter decreased to 13.43 in the east aspect and 16.72 in the west aspect. Average air temperature and soil temperature during the investigation period of the research site were 8.2±9.0 and 9.1±9.3 in the east and 8.5±7.4 and 9.3±7.3℃ in the west aspect, respectively, with the west aspect showing higher air and soil temperatures. Soil moisture showed no significant difference between east and west aspects (average soil moisture: 19.4±11.0% vs. 20.5±5.7%). However, as a result of analyzing the correlation between decomposition rate and microclimatic factors, it was found that the decomposition rate and soil moisture has a positive correlation(r=0.426) in the east aspect but not in the west aspect. Our study shows that the correlation between decomposition rate and microclimatic factors can be significantly different depending on the direction of the aspect.

SWAT model is applied to simulate rainfall-runoff and pollutant loadings in the Nakdong River basin as the condition for extreme droughts and floods. The year 1994 and 2002 are chosen as the drought and flood year, respectively, through the analysis of past rainfall data for 30 years. The simulation results show decreases in both runoff and pollutant loadings for the drought year but increases for the flood year. However, the pollutant loadings on some upper sub-basins increase for drought year due to highly-regulated dam discharge and soil moisture change. Collectively, extreme droughts and floods have negative impacts on water quality, showing elevated SS loadings during wet season and concentrated T-P concentrations during low flow season. The extent of these impacts is highly influenced by antecedent dry days and precipitation patterns.
