This study was conducted to present primary data on the change of the physical characteristics of reservoir sediments for understanding the sedimentation. The records of the annual summation of the precipitation of >50mm per day (AP50) were compared with changes of bulk density, organic matter, mean grain-size, and sand ratio in sediment cores sampled from three reservoirs without dredging record. Reservoir sediments, characterized by mineral soil, contained organic matters originated from the debris of terrestrial plants, and changes of organic matter were related to changes of grain-size flowing into reservoirs when sediments of fine sandy loam showed 10% of organic matter contents. Rapid changes of grain-size and sand ratio in the sediment cores were associated with the increase and decrease of precipitation, and fluctuation of water level and water flow in reservoirs might have influenced on the formation of sediments in reservoirs. Records of AP50 suggested that sediments could accumulate more than about 30 within the short period of 10 years. The accumulated sediments in a short time can reflect the effect of natural and anthropogenic events on the physical characteristics of sediments.

In order to identify the effect of cadmium uptake by soil ameliorators in rice plants, compost, lime, silicate, and phosphate were treated. Plants were grown with irrigation water containing $0.01mg\;l^{-1}$ cadmium and treated with two irrigation systems, intermittent irrigation and continuous submersion. Soil pH was higher at the panicle formation stage compared to other growing stages. However, Eh value was decreased as growing stage was proceeded. Eh values measured at the continuous submersion plots were lower than those at the intermittent irrigation plots. Cadmium contents in the both leaves and roots of rice plants grown at the continuous submersion plots were lower than intermittent irrigation plots in the middle of growing season. Among the continuous submersion plots, cadmium uptake was highly reduced at the both silicate and lime treated plot compared to other treatments. In the harvest season, cadmium contents in the both leaves and brown rice were higher at the intermittent irrigation plots than the continuous submersion plots. Cadmium uptake was highly reduced at the compost and lime mixture plot compared to other treatments among the continuous submersion plots. Soil pH was negatively correlated with the cadmium contents of the both shoot and brown rice while Eh was positively correlated with those. The cadmium content of shoot was positively correlated with that of brown rice in the harvest season.

Air pollution effects on soil chemical properties, denitrifying and sulfur-reducing bacteria and lichens were examined around the Yeochun industrial estate. Soil samples were collected from mountain and/or mountain edges around the Namhae Chemical Corp., which is located at the southern edge of the estate, and sampled plots which were selected at 2km, 4km, 6km, 8km, and 10km apart from the industrial estate. The forest soils around the industrial estate could be classified into the Reddish yellow forest soil group, but soil pH was quite lower than the soils of the group. Because of the extremely low soil pH, microbial activity related to mineralization of organic matter was expected to be very low even though C/N ratio ranged from 15 to 20. As a result, soil organic matter and total nitrogen in soil were relatively high compared to the soils of the group. In general, soil chemical properties around the industrial estate up to 4km apart from the estate were significantly different from the rest(more than 6km apart from the estate) possibly due to air pollution. However, denitrifying bacteria and sulfur-reducing bacteria did not show significant differences in colony forming units by the distances from the industrial estate. By the way, lichens showed distinct differences in frequencies and coverages by the distances from the industrial estate possibly due to air pollution. The corticolous lichens showed more sensitive response to the air pollution compared to the saxicolous lichens.

This study was conducted to investigate changes of vegetation and soil characteristics to tidal land of Saemangeum reclaimed land from 2010 to 2012. Soil salinity was 0.16-22.3 dS $m^{-1}$ in the first survey, while the three years later, it was decreased to 0.12-4.22 dS $m^{-1}$. Vegetations were classified as 6 families and 26 species but it was increased to 8 families and 31 species after three years. Numbers of average species in survey site were increased from 7.1 species to 10.6 species. Numbers of vegetation were increased at each survey sites except for survey site 7 : there was decreased halophyte according to decrease in the soil salinity. Biomass production was increased at low production site, and showed highest production in area of dominant vegetation as Phragmites communis. Simpson's dominance ratio(SDR) of main vegetation as Phragmites communis, Calamagrostis epigeios were increased but Suaeda maritima, Salicornia europaea, Puccinellia nipponica and Zoysia sinica were decreased.

Effects of soil moisture and temperature on the degradation rate of imazamethabenz were studied in two soils, a Declo sandy loam soil with 1.5% organic matter and pH of 8.0, and a Pancheri silt loam soil with 2.1% organic matter and pH of 7.7. Soils were incubated for 12 weeks under controlled conditions. Treatments were a factorial arrangements with combinations of three soil moistures (45, 75, 100% of field capacity) and two soil temperatures (20, 30C). Imazamethabenz degradation followed first-order kinetics for all soil moisture-soil temperature combinations. Imazamethabenz degradation rate was proportional to increase of soil moisture and temperature. Soil moisture effect on imazamethabenz degradation was greater when soil moisture was increased from 45 to 75% of field capacity (half-life decreased 2.6 fold) than when moisture increased from 75 to 100% of field capacity (half-life decreased 1.2 fold). Imazamethabenz degradation occurred more rapidly in the Pancheri silt loam than the Declo sandy loam soil. Formation of imazamethabenz acid from imazamethabenz followed a quadratic trend for most soil-moisture-soil temperature combinations. Imazamethabenz acid formation initially increased at earlier stages, but later gradually decreased. In most cases, increasing soil moisture and temperature appeared to accelerate it's acid breakdown to other metabolites.

조사대상지역은 제주도 북제주군 한림읍 협재리 협재리국민학교 후편에 위치하고 있는 협재굴과 쌍룡굴, 황금굴, 그리고 양송이 재배장에서 망오름을 향해 2km 떨어진 곳으로 한림으로 나가는길과 교차하는 지점에서 서쪽으로 400-500m 떨어진 곳에 위치하고 있는 소천굴로서 협재굴과 쌍룡굴은 이미 개발되어 관광단지화 되어 있어 입구와 출구는 돌담과 축대를 쌓고 계단을 만들어 완전히 파괴해 버렸으므로 다른 동굴에서 볼 수 있는 동굴입구와 출구의 자연식물경관은 볼 수가 없었고 동백나무를 비롯한 수종의 상록활엽수와 도깨비고비등 수종의 양치식물은 인공적으로 이식해 놓은 실정이다. 황금굴과 소천굴은 아직은 개발이 되지 않고 사람의 접근을 통제하고 있었기 때문에 동굴입구에서 여러 종류의 상록활엽수와 양치식물을 볼 수 있었다. 한편 이들 동굴의 지표면은 인공적으로 조림한 곰솔이 대부분으로 인간간섭을 많이 받은 지역으로 지표면의 식물은 빈약하였다. 또한 이들 동굴의 지층은 표선리 현무암지대로 경사가 완만하며 평탄한 곳으로 이곳의 토양을 분석한 결과 토성은 유기물함량이 7.5%-17.4%로서 척박한 편이며 토양함수량은 9.8%-25.4%로 낮은 편이다.(중략)

경기도 퇴촌에 위치한 경희대학교 연습림내의 낙엽송, 잣나무 및 굴참나무의 천연활엽수로 구성된 3개의 임반에서 경사도와 년간 강우량 변화에 따른 투수특성을 조사하였다. 3개의 임반의 O, A, B층은 3개 임반 모두 경사도가 낮은 하부사면에서 관찰되었으나 경사도가 높은 산사면이나 수간우가 많은 일부 지역에서는 바로 암반층 또는 풍화층이 나타나는 경향을 보이고 있다. 그러나 잣나무 임반은 유기물 퇴적층과 A층이 낙엽송이나 굴참나무 임반보다 잘 발달되어 O층은 약 5내지 10cm 정도이고 A층 또한 O층 아래로 약 50cm까지 깊게 발달되었다. 낙엽송 임반의 하부사면의 경우 A층의 발달이 약 35cm부터 약60cm 에 이르고 있으나 토성을 구성하는 요소중 직경 2mm 이상의 자갈에 토양입자들이 전체 토양의 40%정도를 차지하고 있다. 이러한 토층분화 특성을 달리하는 임반에서의 투수특성은 표층토에서는 약 5.2cm/hr였고 A층에서는 평균 8.2cm/hr 정도였다. 이는 A층에서의 토성이 주로 자갈로 구성되어 대공극을 이루고 있고 평균 부피수분함량이 약 25%인 점을 감안하면 상대 투수속도에 영향을 미치는 것으로 조사되었다. 그리고 산지사면의 상부보다 상대투수속도가 증가되는 경향을 볼 수 있는데 이는 상부에서의 토층발달이 제대로 이루어지지 않아 투수속도에 영향을 주는 것으로 판단된다. 따라서 본 실험의 결과로 추정할 때 지표층에 존재하는 유기물과 토층 분화 정도가 투수에 영향을 미치는 것으로 판단된다.

We examined the relationships among community composition, microbial population, and microbial biomass to determine whether different land use leads to differences in microbial community composition. And also the relationships between soil characteristics and microbial community composition were investigated. There was no difference in pH between uncultivated and cultivated soils, but electrical conductivity, and contents of organic matter, available P and exchangeable cations were greater in the cultivated soil compared to the uncultivated soil. A linear correlation ($r^2=0.557$, n=18, p<0.01) was found between biomass-C estimated with fumigation extraction technique and total amount of fatty acids. An increase of fatty acid methyl esters (FAMEs) for bacteria, actinomycetes, fungi and protozoa was observed in cultivated soil.

Soil microbial diversity was responsible for a strong effect on the chemical properties of orchard soils. This study evaluated a relationship between soil chemical properties and soil microbial diversities at 25 sites in orchard soils in Gyeongnam Province. The average nutrients in the orchard soils were 2.6 times for available phosphorous, 2.3 times for exchangeable potassium and 1.3 times for exchangeable calcium higher compared to recommend concentrations in the orchard soils. Contents of available phosphorous and organic matter in the inclined piedmont soils were higher than those in the other topographical soils (p<0.05). Populations of fungi and fluorescence Pseudomonas sp. in the silt loam soils were significantly higher than those in the sandy loam soils (p<0.05). In principal component analysis of chemical properties and microbial populations in the upland soils, our findings suggested that population of bacteria should be considered as potential factor responsible for the clear orchard soils differentiation. The soil organic matter was significantly negative correlation with population of bacteria whereas was positive correlation with population of fungi in orchard soils.
