In developing soil wetting agent using polyoxyethylene octylphenyl ether [$C_8H_{17}O(C_2H_4O)_{10}H$, POE], the effect of mixtures of POE and polyoxyethylene+polypropyleneoxide tridecylether (1:1, w/w, CM-1), polyoxyethylene+polypropyleneoxide tridecylether+propyleneglycol monomethylether (1:1:2, w/w/w, CM-2) or glycerin+ditridecyl phthalate (1:1, w/w, CM-3) on changes of concentration of POE, initial wetting, evaporative water loss, water infiltration, and changes of physical properties in root media were determined. The mixtures of POE and CM-1, 2, or 3 with zeolite or vermiculite as carrier had high concentrations of POE in root media during 6 elution times, but those after 6 times decreased rapidly indicating unstable elution of POE. The commercial AquaGro was more effective than the mixtures of POE+CM-1, 2, or 3 in water retention during 18 hours. Root media incorporated with POE+CM-2 held more water than any other treatments at 84 hours after watering, but the differences among treatments except control were not significant. In the treatments with zeolite as a carrier, POE+CM-3 had the greatest evaporative water loss followed by POE+CM-2, AquaGro, control, and POE+CM-2. In the treatments with vermiculite as a carrier, POE+CM-1 had the highest evaporative water loss followed by POE+CM-3, AquaGro, control, and POE+CM-2. In the effect of mixtures with zeolite as a carrier on infiltration of water into root media, the treatment of POE+CM-1 had the highest amount of water infiltrated followed by POE+CM-3, AquaGro, POE+CM-2, and control. In the effect of mixtures with vermiculite as a carrier on infiltration of water into root media, the treatment of POE+CM-3 had the highest amount of water infiltrated followed by AquaGro, POE+CM-1, POE+CM-2, and control.

Successive changes of transpiration by the tobacco plant during the growing season with pot trial treated with 30cm and 100cm ground water tables were compared with change of soil moisture content in rhizospere of field under natural rainfall conditions. Transpiration from the 41st to the 60th day after transplanting was the highest showing about 50% of total transpiration of whole cultivation period. As the result, soil moisture condition in rhizospere of field was kept insufficiently during the above period. Transpiration by the plant was so remarkably affected by the meteorological environment that the transpiration on rain-cloudy day was one third of that on clear day at middle stage of the growth. Maximum transpiration in a clear day was obtained from 14:00 to 16:00 at the 58th day after transplanting.

Effect of soil moisture level on the growth of ginger plant was investigated through a pot experiment. The soil used for this study was collected from a newly reclaimed hillside land. The soil was a silty clay loam(19% sand, 57% of silt and 24% of clay), acidic in soil rection(pH 4.7, in $H_2O$) and low in organic matter content(1.2%). Soil moisture levels selected for the experiment were 10, 15, 20, 25, and 30% on weight basis. Under the soil moisture of 20-25%, the emergence ratio was 80-100%, 25 days alter planting. The performance of above ground parts was best under 20-25% of soil moisture. When the soil moisture content was far from 25%, high or low, the die out of above ground parts of ginger tended to increase. Under 20-25% of soil moisture the growth of roots was best and the occurrence of root rot was minimal.

In order to investigate the emission pattern of sulphur dioxide gas from the soils in the plastic film house, the amounts of sulphur dioxide gas emitted from soils was periodically measured either in the plastic film house condition or in the incubator where the interior temperature was controlled to 10, 20. 30 and $40^{\circ}C$. Each soil was mixed with either mushroom, poultry, pig or fish meal compost at the rate of 0, 10, 20, 30, 40 and 50g/kg for individual treatment and then treated with addition of 50, 100, 150 and 200ml of water. A significant increase in the emission of sulphur dioxide gas was observed in the treatment of fish meal compost and such increase was initiated from the rate of l0g/kg, while little difference was observed in other treatments. Compared to upland soils, as control, the horticultural soils containing higher sulphur content emitted more sulphur dioxide. The emission of sulphur dioxide was favoured as temperature increased and was highest with the addition of 150ml of water.

Importance of climate change and its impact on agriculture and environment has increased with a rise of greenhouse gases (GHGs) concentration in Earth's atmosphere, which had caused an increase of temperature in Earth. Greenhouse gas emissions such as methane($CH_4$) and nitrous oxide($N_2O$) in the field need to be assessed. GHGs fluxes using chamber systems in the fields(2004~2005) with pepper cultivation were monitored at the experimental plots of National Academy of Agricultural Science(NAAS), Rural Development Administration(RDA) located in Suwon city. $N_2O$ emission during pepper growing period was reduced to 74.0~82.1% in sandy loam soil compared with those in clay loam soil. Evaluating $N_2O$ emission at different levels of soil water conditions, $N_2O$ emission at -50 kPa were lowered to 13.2% in clay loam soil and 40.2% in sandy loam soil compared with those at -30 kPa. $CH_4$ emission was reduced to 45.7~61.6% in sandy loam soil compared with those in clay loam soil. Evaluating $CH_4$ at different levels of soil water conditions, $CH_4$ emission at -50 kPa was lowered to 69.6% in clay loam soil and 55.8% in sandy loam soil compared with those at -30 kPa. It implied that -50 kPa of soil water potential was effective for saving water and reducing GHG emissions. From the path analysis as to contribution factors for $N_2O$ emission, it appeared that contribution rate was in the order of mineral N(51.2%), soil temperature (25.8%), and soil moisture content(23.0%) in clay loam soil and soil moisture content(39.3%), soil temperature (36.4%), and mineral N(24.3%) in sandy loam soil.

인류 문명이 발전되면서 이산화탄소 증가나 표지 피복도의 변화와 같은 인류의 영향으로 인하여 자연현상들은 많은 변화가 발생하고 있다. 특히 고대서부터 현재까지 농작물을 짓기 위해서 관개 수로를 이용한 농업이 발전되어져 왔다. 관개 농업은 작물의 생육과 알맞은 토양환경을 만들기 위해 깨끗한 물을 인공적으로 농업에 이용하기에 물 순환뿐 아니라 에너지 순환에 많은 영향을 미치는 요소이다. 따라서 그에 대한 메커니즘을 이해하는 것을 중요하다. 본 연구에서는 지상기후모형인 Community Land Model(CLM)과 대기기후모형인 Community Atmospheric Model(CAM)을 이용하였으며 관개농업에 관한 과정을 고려할 때와 고려하지 않았을 때 도출된 결과값들을 서로 비교함으로써 관개농업이 지구환경에 미치는 영향을 알아보았다. 관개농업으로 인하여 강수량, 증발산량(Evapotranspiration, ET)과 같은 수문량의 변화뿐 아니라 지하 토양수분과 지하수면 깊이(Water table depth)의 변화량과 같은 모델의 결과들을 시간적 공간적 변화를 나타냄으로써 관개농업이 물 순환에 미치는 영향을 제시하였다. 또한 에너지 순환의 변화에 미치는 영향을 알아보기 위해 잠열(Latent heat) 과 헌혈(Sensible heat)의 변화를 알아내어 관개가 에너지 순환에 미치는 영향을 알아보았다.

In this study, comparisons of the backscattering coefficients and the coherence values which had been extracted from SAR (Synthetic Aperture Radar) images such as JERS-1, ENVISAT and ALOS satellites with surface roughness, surface geometric and soil moisture content were carried out. As the results of analysis using the backscattering coefficient and coherence values from SAR images, the coherence was shown high in the region containing more of mud fraction due to higher viscosity of fine grain-size. A lot of tidal channels were well developed in the Ganghwa tidal flat, affecting the drainage of seawater and subsequent soil moisture content by exposure time of tidal flat. The backscattering coefficient. consequently, appeared to be lower in sand flat and mix flat with decrease of soil moisture. In contrast, most mud flats were distributed at high elevation so that soil moisture was not much influenced by seawater. The backscattering coefficient in mud flat seemed to have a relationship with the density of tidal channel. In addition, lowering backscattering coefficients in the all Ganghwa tidal flat was observed when surface remnant water increased according to the amount of rainfall. The correlation between backscattering coefficient, coherence and sediment environment factors in the Ganghwa tidal flat was investigated. In the future, more quantitative spatial analysis will be helpful to well understand the sedimentary influence of various sediment environment factors.

제주 내 크게 6개 지역에 흩어져 분포하고 있는 곶자왈은 화산활동으로 형성되었으며 제주 산림생물자원의 46%가 분포하여 생물종다양성이 매우 높은 것으로 알려져 있다. 곶자왈은 자갈과 바위로 이루어져 있으며 토양이 적게 발달하여 건조에 직면할 가능성이 크다. 본 연구는 곶자왈에서 서식하는 멸종위기종이자 산림청에서 희귀식물로 지정한 개가시나무(Quercus gilva)와 같은 속이면서 공존하고 있는 종가시나무(Quercus glauca)의 건조 내성에 대한 반응을 알아보고자 실내에서 생리 반응을 연구하였다. 온도(22±2.94℃)와 토양 양분(10%)은 자생지의 값을 기준으로 처리하였으며 수분 처리는 토양을 채운 화분에 물이 화분 밑으로 새어나가기 직전까지 포장용수량 700mL를 공급한 후 27일간 단수하였다. 단수기간에 수분함량의 변화는 토양수분함량측정기(Watch Dog)를 설치하여 데이터를 수집하였다. 항목은 토양수분함량에 따른 광합성률, 증산률, 수분이용효율, 기공전도도, Fv/Fm, Fo, Fm, 엽록소함량을 측정하였다. 토양수분함량은 25, 27일째를 제외한 기간에 개가시나무가 종가시나무보다 높았다. 광합성률은 27일째를 제외한 기간에 개가시나무가 종가시나무보다 높았다. 증산률은 4, 5, 11, 14, 25, 27일째에 개가시나무가 종가시나무보다 낮았다. 수분이용효율은 13일째를 제외한 기간에 개가시나무가 종가시나무보다 높았다. 기공전도도는 3, 9일째에 개가시나무가 종가시나무보다 높았다. Fv/Fm은 22, 27일째를 제외한 기간에 개가시나무가 종가시나무보다 높았다. Fo은 3, 14일째를 제외한 기간에 개가시나무가 종가시나무보다 높았다. Fm과 엽록소함량은 기간에 개가시나무가 종가시나무보다 높았다. 이와 같은 실험 결과로 보았을 때 개가시나무가 종가시나무보다 건조 내성에 강한 것으로 판단된다.

Soil water changes in lysimeters with four different soils and two different available soil depths were monitored during the growing seasons of the soybean-barley cropping from 1977 to 1980 in Suweon to evaluate evapotranspiration (ET) as a function of available soil water and evaporative demand of the atmosphere. ET was calculated with soil water profile and water balance. Soil water content was measured with a neutron moisture depth gauage and The evaporative demand of the atmosphere was estimated with a class A pan evaporation. Rainfall. solar radiation, and wind speed were observed to examine heat and water balances. The average ET of soybeans ranged from 1.6 mm/day at seedling to 6.5 mm/day at flowering, and that of barley ranged from 0.5 mm/day at the regrowth stage to 4.6 mm/day at heading; however, a large variability was observed. The ratio of ET to pan evaporation ($ET/E_o$) ranged from 0.5 to 1.1 for soybeans and 0.4 to 1.2 for barley. The soil evaporation factor ($K_e$) of the $ET/E_o$ component decreased as the soil water depleted and the canopy developed. The crop transpiration factor ($K_t$), another component of $ET/E_o$, also was a function of time and the soil water. $K_t$ was constant when the available soil water fraction (f) in the root zone was greater than a threshold value, and $K_e$ was decreased linearly when f was lower than this threshold. The threshold was 0.7 for the moderate evaporative demand days, 0.4 to 0.5 for the low evaporative demand days, and 0.9 to 0.96 for the high evaporative demand days. Conclusively, the ET can be estimated from the evaporative demand of the atmosphere, $E_o$, $K_e$ and $K_t$, and the available soil water content in the root zone.
