식생이 소실된 산불 피해 지역에서 유실되는 토양의 식생회복에 따른 정량적인 변화를 파악하고, 사면토양과 유실토양의 성분분석을 수행하여 이화학적 특성을 파악하고자 한다. 산불 이후 10개의 조사구에서 강우에 의해 유실토양의 양을 측정한 후 토양을 건조시켜 보관하였다. 토양의 입도분석, 유기물함량, 건조밀도 등을 조사하였다. 그리고 전처리한 토양수는 ICP를 이용하여 Fe, Mn, P, Al, Zn, Na, Mg, K, Ca의 성분분석을 수행하였다. 산불 이후 시간경과에 따른 조사구별 식생 회복은 빠른 지역과 느린 지역으로 크게 구분한다. 재생이 불량한 지역은 재생이 왕성한 지역에 비해 상대적으로 많은 양의 토양이 유실되었다. 사면토양의 성분분석 결과 재생불량 지역의 성분함량이 가장 작았으며, 재생왕성 지역은 비피해지에 비해 성분함량이 대체로 높았다. 유실토양의 성분분석 결과 식생회복이 느린 조사구에서 영양염류 함량이 대체로 낮았다. 그러나 식생회복이 느린 조사구에서 많은 양의 토양이 유실되기 때문에 정량적인 영양염류의 소실량은 가장 많았다. 따라서 지표식생이 없는 지역은 다량의 토양유실로 인해 다량의 영양염류가 소실되어 식생 재생을 더디게 만드는 것으로 판단된다.

A series of soil surveys was conducted in 102 high yielding paddies randomly selected. Each paddy field was the contest winner's in a county, a province or the nationwide during 1976 to 1979. The data on soils and yields of the paddies were evaluated to find out the better practices. Cultivation practices such as intermittent irrigation, deep ploughing and application of soil improvement materials were intensively carried out with the increasing rates of yield. But, the yield of rice in the high yielding paddies was not significantly different according to the paddy soil type or the suitability calss. About 70% of the high yielding paddies were distributed in loam and silty clay loam. The properties of top soil in the high yielding paddies were more improved as compared with the common paddies. The cultivated soil depth and nutrient holding capacity were thought of as the important soil factors for high yield.

Soil samples collected at the Kangwon and Donghae mines were investigated for the characterization of heavy metals using physicochemical and mineralogical properties. Arsenic (As) concentrations of soil samples sieved above 18 mesh and under 325 mesh at the Kangwon mine are 250.5 to 445.7 ppm, respectively. For soil samples sieved above 18 mesh at the Donghae mine, the concentrations of As, Pb, and Zn are 70.4, 1,055, and 781.9, while 117.7 ppm for As, 2,295 ppm for Pb, and 1,346 ppm for Zn are shown for the samples sieved under 325 mesh. XRD and SEM data indicated that the samples from the Kangwon mine included quartz, mica, albite, chlorite, magnetite, and amphibole while those from the Donghae mine contained quartz, mica, kaolinite, chlorite, amphibole, and rutile. SEM-EDS showed that magnetite found in the samples at the Kangwon mine was positively correlated with arsenic concentrations whereas ilmenite in the samples from the Donghae mine contained only small amount of As. Our results suggest that physicochemical and mineralogical characterization plays an important role in optimizing recovery treatments of soils contaminated in mine development areas.

This study was carried out in order to estimate site indices in un-stocked land by the physico-chemical properties of forest soil and to investigate the distribution of the physico-chemical properties by soil horizons. In Larix leptolepis Gordon stand, 80 sites were selected respectively to A and B horizon in soil. About the analysis method of data there was used stepwise regression analysis. Soil pH and T.N. of the physico-chemical properties turned out to be positively related to the site index. However, O.M. and Avail. $P_2O_5$ in soil were found out negatively related. In the degree of contribution of the variables to site index by each one of the stands, the highly effective variables were Base Sat., C.E.C., Sand, Exch. $Ca^{{+}{+}}$, and Exch. $Mg^{{+}{+}}$ in A horizon, Exch. $Ca^{{+}{+}}$, Base Sat., T.N., Avail. $P_2O_5$, and Clay in B horizon, and Exch. $Ca^{{+}{+}}$ and Base Sat. in both of A and B horizon. In conclusion, these results will provide not only the important criteria for establishment of management forest plan in un-stocked land but also the useful guidance for selecting the suitable sites and trees.

Heavy metals leaching from closed mines have been causing severe environmental problems in nearby soil ecosystems. Mine reclamation in Korea has been recently implemented based on the heavy metal immobilization (a.k.a., stabilization). Since the immobilization temporarily fixes the heavy metals to the soil matrix, the potential risk of heavy metal leaching still exists. Therefore the appropriate monitoring and the related policies are required to safeguard the soils, where all the cultivations occur. The current monitoring methods are based on either heavy metal concentration or simple toxicity test. Those methods, however, are fragmented and hence it is difficult to evaluate the site in an integrated manner. In this study, as the integrated approach, ecological functional state evaluation with a multivariate statistical tool was employed targeting physiochemical soil properties, heavy metal concentrations, microbial enzymatic activity, and arsenic respiratory reductase gene quantity. Total 60 soil samples obtained from three mines (Pungjeong, Jeomdong, Seosung) were analyzed. As a result, the stabilized layer soil and lower layer soil have shown the similar pattern in Pungjeong mine. In contrast, Jeomdong and Seosung mine have shown the similarity between the stabilized layer soil and the cover layer soil, indicating the possible contamination of the cover layer soil.

제주도 대표토양을 대상으로 이들의 모재 및 토양단면의 토양 특성을 조사하고, 제주도 대표토양의 주요 유해 중금속 원소의 총 함량을 분석하여 그 분포특성과 이화학 및 광물학적 특성을 비교 평가하였다. 주성분분석 결과 전형적인 화산회토의 특성을 보이는데 하부 층위에서 Si, Al, Fe 함량의 증가 및 표토에서의 염기용탈을 보여주었다. 현무암질 모재 기원임을 보여주는 ferromagnesian 광물들이 주로 관찰되었으며 심토에서는 상당량의 깁사이트가 관찰되는 것이 특징인데 이는 표토에서 과잉 생성된 알루미늄이 하부토양으로 이동하여 이차적으로 생성집적된 것으로 판단된다. 중금속 총함량 분석결과, Zn, Ni, Co, Cr의 함량이 세계 토양 내 함량범위를 초과하였으며 향후 진행될 연구에서 제주도 화산회 토양의 주 점토구성광물인 알로페인을 비롯한 점토광물 및 비정질 물질에 대한 특성 및 정량적 조사와 중금속원소별 화학적 형태 파악을 위한 연속추출분석 등을 수행하여 중금속원소의 존재상을 규명하고 지표 토양 및 지하수 환경으로의 중금속 이동성을 평가하고자 한다.

This experiment was carried out to investigate the effect of sewage sludge compost amended soils on the growth and accumulation patterns of heavy metals in plant parts of Orchardgrass seedlings, changes in physical properties and chemical composition, and heavy metal residue in soils. Mixture ratios of sewage sludge compost and soil(loam) were 100:0, 80:20, 60:40, 40:60, 20:80 and 0:100(control), respectively. The results obtained were as follows; 1. The physical properties and chemical compostion of soils were improved by increase in mixture ratios of sewage sludge compost. 2. The biological yield of Orchardgrass seedlings was increased with mixture ratios of sewage sludge compost. 3. The dry weight of shoot(SH) was increased with both of yield components(NT and WT) and biological yield of Orchardgrass seedlings. 4. The total nitrogen concentrations(TN) of plants was increased with quadratically up to the biological yield of 100% mixture ratio of sewage sludge compost. 5. Lead(Pb) concentration of soil in over the 60% mixture ratios of sewage sludge compost were in excess of limiting level(50ppm) of organic fertilizers.

The overall objective of this research was to show a NIR soil analyzer assessing soil fertility by measuring soil properties rapidly. A total of 140 soil samples were used to obtain calibrations and validation estimating soil properties. The soil samples were ground to pass 0.2mm sieve openings. Partial least square regression analysis was used to develop a calibration for soil analysis. The results indicated that NIR soil analyzer could be used as a routine method for quantitatively determining pH, OM, total nitrogen, CEC, extractable Ca, Mg, K, available $SiO_2$ and soil moisture simultaneously within one minute. Therefore, the NIR soil analyzer may be suitable for quick estimation of soil fertility estimation in fertilizer assessments.

To determine the effects of underlayer vegetation on soil properties, the profiles, physical, and chemical properties of soil were investigated upon Fagus multinervis -Rumohra standishii, Fagus multinervis - typical, and Fagus multinervis -Sasa kurilensis subcommunities that was growing at Songinbong area of Ullungdo. There were little differences in soil profile properties among the three subcommunities. Also, there were little differences in physical and chemical properties of soil among the three subcommunities, except exchangeable Ca concentration in 0-10 cm soil depth. However, the soils of the study area in 0-10 cm soil depth comprised high organic matter and total N concentration as in an average value of 21.6% and 0.74%, respectively. Also, the soil showed very low bulk density and pH as in an average value of 0.43 g/㎤ and 4.4 in 0-10 cm soil depth, respectively. Due to the high soil organic matter and total N concentrations and the low bulk density and pH, the soil properties of Songinbong area are different from those of other forest in Korea.
