Various by-product composts are applied in alpine farmland, and some of them generate many problems especially when they are not completely composted. The objective of this study was to investigate the physicochemical and spectroscopic properties of by-product composts used in Gangweon alpine uplands. Average organic matter content, C/N ratio and NaCl content in 3 species of registered composts were 33%, 13 and 0.8%, respectively, and the general quality were better than the guideline of by-product compost. Odor and contents of $NH_3$ and $CO_2$ in the registered composts were relatively lower than those in the unregistered composts. Among the 13 unregistered composts tested in this experiment, 3 species contained organic matter content less than 25%, 5 species had C/N ratio less than 10, and 8 species contained NaCl exceeded the acceptable level. Eight species in the unregistered composts contained more than 50% of water. Contents of heavy metals in both the registered and unregistered composts were lower than the acceptable level. In spectroscopic property analysis, registered composts were Band P types, and unregistered composts were Rp and P types.

This research was carried out to investigate the effects of some organic materials such as rice straw, compost, hairy vetch, phosphate rock, magnesium lime powder and ash in the organic paddy fields, and also to develope the new technique for better soil management using described materials. The results are as follows; Height and tiller of rice plants were higher in chemical fertilizer than rice straw or compost, however, those of rice plants in hairy vetch-rice cropping system reached to chemical fertilizer. The Eh value of soil has decreased consecutively since on 30th, May because of the rising of soil temperature by an increase in the activity of microbes. As a result of measuring yield and yield components, there is not significant difference between treatment. The application of organic materials enriched the contents of available phosphorus, exchangible potassium and calcium in soil, and, also improved the physical properties such as pore space rates and bulk density. From the viewpoint of soil management technology in organic paddy fields, the application of rice straw or organic compost might cause the decrease of yield compared with conventional cultivation system, chemical fertilizer, however, the application of hairy vetch residues of soil compensated for growth and yield as well as improved the physicochemical property. Therefore, it is assumed that the cultivation of hairy vetch for winter season can be one of the useful methods for organic farming system.

This research evaluated the long-term application effects of different soil amendments on yield, dissolved organic carbon, nitrogen and soil organic carbon stock in rice paddy. The experiment consisted of four different fertilizations; Inorganic fertilization (NPK), NPK+Lime (NPKL), NPK+Silicate (NPKS), NPK+Compost (NPKC). There was no significant difference in rice yield between the treatment groups in 1995, but the rice yields in the NPKL and NPKC treatments in 2019 increased by 4.3% and 14.3% compared to NPK. In terms of soil properties, the pH of NPKS(6.7) and NPKL(6.4) in 2019 increased the most compared to the soil pH before experiment(5.2). The organic matter(OM) content from NPKC treatment increased upto 34 and 27 g kg^-1 in year of 1995 and 2019, respectively, compared to before the test. In NPKS and NPKL treatment, labile carbon and nitrogen content, used as a soil quality indicator, increased by 1.1-1.9 times over the control. From these result, it is suggested that type and application rate of soil amendment should be determined based on the soil analysis before cultivation for sustainable agricultural environment and productivity.

To investigate differences in lead contents of paddy soils and rice plants affected by municipal and industrial waste water pollution in Mangyeong River area, soil and plants samples were collected in 1982 and 1990 according to the distances from the main inlet source and depths of soil. Soil samples were extracted with ${4H-HNO}_3$ and plant sampler were digested with mixture of ${HNO}_3$ and ${HCIO}_4$ for analyzing by atomic absorption spectrophotometry. The Pb contents in soils ranged from 13.2 to 56.4 mg $kg^{-1}$. Average Pb level in 1990 was some higher than that in 1982. Variation of Pb content with the distances from the source of waste water showed decreasing tendency wish distances, and it was clearer in 1990 than in 1982. A significant correlation was observed between Pb contents in surface and in subsurface soil, between Pb content in soils and soil properties as clay, OM, and $Ca^{++}$ in 1982, and between Pb content in soils and contents of Cu and Zn in soils. The average Pb content in leaf sheath was 3.42 times of that in brown rice. Pb content in brown rice ranged from 3.1 to 10.4mg $kg^{-1}$.

1. Physicochemical properties of sea water and soil of Korean tidal flats densely populated with species of Mactra veneriformis, Cyclina sinensis, Meretrix lusoria, and Tapes philippinarum, were investigated in order to find out the index of environmental factors in marine bivalve culture. 2. The turbidity varied with the change in concentrations of organic matter, silicate, and the exchangeable copper in sea water. All of these concentrations in Inchon, Kunsan, and Hansando were higher than those in Yusoo. In the 5 areas investigated the lowest were ditected at Kangnung. 3. The minerals and organic matter content in sea water dia not vary significantly among the different bivalve beds. And it was presumed that the soil texture was one of the most important environmental factors for the density of the bivalves in tidelands. 4. The soil texture index of the different bivalve beds was obtained as follow: 5. There were no significant differences of pH, the exchangeable calcium, and the exchangeable copper contents of bottom soils in the 4 different bivalve beds. As important factors in these areas, it seems that the amount of chemical properties might not affect the distribution of bivalve species. 6. Among the 4 beds the soil organic matter content was highest at the T. philippinarum bed and varied with the total nitrogen content. 7. Among the different bivalve beds, it was significant that the water holding capacity and available phosphorus content were highest at the M. veneriformis bed.

본 연구는 퇴비화 과정 중 난용성 인산의 가용화와 무기태 인산의 변화를 알아보기 위하여 수행하였다. 비료와 퇴비중의 인산형태는 다른 성분들보다 토양에 흡착 또는 고정되거나 불용화 되는 양이 많아 작물의 흡수량이 적다. 시비된 인산의 흡수율은 낮고, 그 대부분은 난용화되기 때문에 토양에 축적되거나 세탈과 용탈에 의해 수질을 오염화시키는 주원인이 되고 있다. 퇴비화 과정중의 인산형태별 함량변화를 분석조사하여 작물에 시비되는 인산비료와 퇴비의 시용량을 적절하게 조절하여 인산의 과잉 시비량을 저감시키기 위한 연구이다. 돈분을 원료로 한 퇴비화 과정에서 단계별로 퇴비시료를 채취하여 총인산(T-P), 유효인산(Avail. -P)과 무기태인산분획별(Ca-P, Al-P, Fe-P)로 분석한 결과는 다음과 같다. 퇴적더미의 초기부피는 570L였으며, 약 2개월간의 퇴비화를 통해서 시료채취와 미생물등의 분해작용으로 최종부피는 430L정도로 감소하였다. 이는 초기의 부피보다 25% 감소하였다. 퇴적더미의 분해로 인한 용적밀도의 변화를 고려하면, 총인산 함량은 초기 약 17,500mg/kg에서 최종시료는 22,500mg/kg로 증가되었다. 또한 퇴비화가 진행됨에 따라 인산의 가용태가 증가하는 결과를 보였으며, 초기의 유효인산이 4,500mg/kg에서 최종시료에서는 8,900mg/kg으로 증가되었다. 그리고 무기태 인산분획별 인산의 형태별 변화를 조사한 결과, 퇴비화 과정 중 Ca-P의 경우 pH와의 중요한 상관관계를 갖고 있었다. 유기물분해를 통해 유리된 인산과 Ca은 난용태로 전환되는데, 초기의 약 10일 동안 Ca-P의 감소원인은 pH의 감소로 인한 Ca이 유리되는 정도가 낮기 때문인 것으로 해석된다. 초기 Ca-P형태의 인산함량은 11,900mg/kg으로 Fe-P와 Al-P보다 많았다. 또한 퇴비화가 안정화되어 부숙된 최종시료의 무기태 인산분획물 중 Ca-P는 18,000mg/kg로 증가하였으며, Ca-P>Al-P>Fe-P의 순 이었다. 그러나 Al-P와 Fe-P 형태의 무기태인산은 초기의 함량비율보다 다소 감소한 결과를 보였다. 결론적으로, 퇴비화과정 중 단계별 인산함량의 형태전환을 분석한 결과 총인산의 함량은 퇴비화가 안정화될수록 부피감소로 인한 인산함량이 증가하는 경향을 보였지만, 유기물질의 분해로 인한 원료내 인산의 형태가 불용태와 난용태에서 가용태 인산으로 전환되는 것을 도출하였다. 또한 무기태 인산분획물에서는 Ca-P 인산형태가 퇴비화가 진행될수록 증가한다는 결과를 얻었으며, Fe-P와 Al-P는 분해된 유기물의 킬레이트작용으로 감소되었다고 판단되며, 그 존재형태가 경쟁적임을 알 수 있었다. 따라서 화학비료와 퇴비의 시용이 병행될 경우에는 퇴비의 가용태 인산함량뿐만 아니라 무기태 인산의 함량을 분석한 후 인산질비료의 시비량을 조절해야할 것으로 판단된다.

The concept of metal bioavailability, rather than total metal in soils, is increasingly becoming important for a thorough understanding of risk assessment and remediation. This is because bioavailable metals generally represented by the labile or soluble metal components existing as either free ions or soluble complexed ions are likely to be accessible to receptor organismsrather than heavy metals tightly bound on soil surface. Consequently, many researchers have investigated the bioavailability of metals in both soil and solution phases together with the key soil properties influencing bioavailability. In order to study bioavailability changes various techniques have been developed including chemical based extraction (weak salt solution extraction, chelate extraction, etc.) and speciation of metals using devices such as ion selective electrode (ISE) and diffusive gradient in the thin film (DGT). Changes in soil metal bioavailability typically occur through adsorption/desorption reactions of metal ions exchanged between soil solution and soil binding sites in response to changes in environment factors such as soil pH, organic matter (OM), dissolved organic carbon (DOC), low-molecular weight organic acids (LMWOAs), and index cations. Increasesin soil pH result in decreases in metal bioavailability through adsorption of metal ions on deprotonated binding sites. Organic matter may also decrease metal bioavailability by providing more negatively charged binding sites, and metal bioavailability can also be decreases as concentrations of DOC and LMWOAs increase as these both form strong chelate complexeswith metal ions in soil solution. The interaction of metal ions with these soil properties also varies depending on the soil and metal type.
