우리나라는 약 30년 간 환경영향평가가 시행되고 있으며 이 기간 동안 환경영향평가의 대상 사업 및 평가 항목 등에 대한 다양한 개정이 수행되었다. 하지만 현행 환경영향평가법 상의 토양 관련 평가 항목은 토양 환경의 일부분에 국한하여 고려되고 있다. 본 연구는 국내 환경영향평가 지침을 분석하여 토양 관련 평가 항목을 분석하였으며 해외의 환경영향평가제도 내 토양 관련 평가항목을 분석하였다. 이를 통해 국내 환경영향평가 제도에서 토양 환경 평가의 문제점과 시사점을 도출하였다. 우리나라의 경우 환경영향평가 제도 내의 수질, 토양, 지형 지질, 수리 수문 평가 항목에서 토양과 관련된 인자를 분석하고 있다. 그 대상은 토양 오염도, 비옥토, 우수유출량, 비점오염원 등 주로 오염과 관련한 인자이다. 하지만 해외의 경우 토양 압밀, 토양 밀폐, 토양 염류화 등 토양의 기능 및 질과 연관된 항목을 분석 중에 있다. 우리나라 국토의 지속가능한 개발을 위하여 해외의 경우와 마찬가지로 토양 관련 평가 인자를 개정할 필요가 있다.

In this study, several factors which can have an effect on soil during strategic environmental assessment (SEA) are analyzed against a total of 86 administrative plans and development basic plans of the SEA. Other factors which could have influences on soil are also analyzed after examining contents and rules required for preparing the SEA statement. Then, we propose assessment factors on soils during the SEA procedure. We think that this study could give baseline data to set up assessment items, criteria, and techniques that are highly necessitated in preparation of the SEA statement in the near future.

Universal soil loss equation (USLE) has been frequently employed to estimate potential soil loss in land since it was developed based on the statewide data measured and collected in the United States. The equation is an empirical model mainly used for U.S. soil, thus it has been recently modified to reflect Korean soil conditions and named as Korean Soil Loss Equation (KORSLE). The modified equation was implemented in ArcGIS software, and used for estimation of potential soil loss from 2003 to 2016 in the thirty-eight Water Protection Districts. Five out of the thirty-eight districts were identified as the area of potential soil erosion most severly. In those five districts, potential soil erosion were estimated to be more than 50 Mg/ha/year that requires site investigation under supervision of the Korean Ministry of Environment. Distinctive site characteristics were found in the potential soil loss estimation such that the districts of low potential soil loss had low five factors in the aggregate. However, if one of more factors are dominantly large, the potential soil loss significantly increased. This study provides a useful tool to identify the potential areas for soil erosion and the important factors that play an important role in the estimation process.

토양의 생성에는 모재, 기후, 지형, 생물요인, 시간 등의 5가지 요인이 작용하고 있다고 알려져 왔다. 이 연구는 제주도 토양을 대상으로 환경요인만으로 토양통을 예측하는 알고리즘을 이용하여, 정량적인 분석 방법을 이용해 환경요인과 토양분포의 관계를 알아보고자 하였다. 분석을 위한 환경요인으로는 온도, 강수량, 지표지질, 해발고도, 경사도, 경사향, 주변과의 고도차, 지형습윤지수, 해안으로부터의 거리, 산정상으로부터의 거리, 토지이용현황을 선택하였다. 토양통별로 각각의 환경요인의 평균과 표준편차 또는 면적비를 구하고, 이를 이용하여 토양통이 분포할 수 있는 환경요인의 범위와 확률을 구하였다. 환경요인별 확률을 결합시켜 분포 가능한 토양통의 순위를 제시하는 알고리즘을 작성하였고, 이를 이용하여 토양통을 예측한 결과 1순위 내에 33%, 2순위 내에 62%, 5순위 내에 74%를 정확하게 기존의 토양도와 일치시킬 수 있었다. 알고리즘을 이용하여 제주 전 지역의 환경요인을 이용하여 예측되는 토양도를 토양목, 대군 등으로 분류하 여 나타낸 결과 북부 해안가에 Entisols이 분포하고 해발고도가 높아지면서 Alfisols, Andisols이 나타난 반면, 서부지역에서는 해안가의 Alfisols에서 해발고도가 높아지면서 Ultisols, Andisols의 순으로 나타나고 있어, 토양의 생성과 관련되어 모형을 이용한 추가적인 연구가 필요하였다.

The soil ecosystem is a complex system performing particularly complicated and varied functions, such as providing a habitat for organisms, acting as a medium for plant cultivation and growth, and functioning as a buffer against external materials in the environment. To assess whether these important functions of the soil ecosystem are executed appropriately, the concept of soil ecosystem health has been introduced, which is defined as the ability to perform the specific functions of the soil ecosystem. Understanding soil properties and soil indicators related to soil functions is essential to assess the soil health. In this study, systems, the indicators, and evaluation factors for assessing soil ecosystem health employed in a number of countries were investigated and discussed. In particular, it is necessary to introduce a technique for the evaluation of soil ecosystem health in Korea and to develop techniques and indicators appropriate to the soil ecosystem and status in Korea.

The purpose of this study is to propose rational methods in order to maintain vegetation condition and soil environment based on the analysis of tree growth in relation to the soil environment, which is one of the most significant environmental factors on vegetation condition in urban parks and open spaces. The result of the study can be described as below;The soil on every study site had strong acidity. In particular, study sites around industrial district and central business district showed extreme soil acidity. Therefore, soil management system is needed in urban parks and green spaces around those areas. Among Cambium Electric Resistance classified by locations of urban parks and open spaces, one in the costal area was the lowest. The Cambium Electric Resistance in the industrial area was the highest. Therefore, soil condition and locational environment in the industrial area are highly related to the Cambium Electric Resistance. Among the factors, which affect Cambium Electric Resistance in different locations, inorganic content was found to be the main factor in all of the study sites. Inorganic content was an important factor to the Cambium Electric Resistance in study sites located in industrial and central business districts. In the study sites located in costal area, Soil acidity was found to be other important factors that affect Cambium Electric Resistance. To improve the soil acidity, soil buffering ability should be improved from activating microorganisms in the soil by using lime and organic material, Since it takes a long time to make a change in the soil structure, well planed maintenance system is required by mid-term or long-term plans.

Soil trace elements and their bioaccumulation in agricultural products have attracted widespread concerns, yet the crop uptake characteristics of trace elements in different soil-plants systems have been rarely investigated. Experiments were carried out to investigate the effect of soil properties on trace element concentrations in cabbage and radish. Soil pH and total organic matter were major factors influencing trace elements transfer from soil to vegetables. Inclusion of other soil properties in the stepwise regression analysis improved the regression models for predicting trace element concentrations. Consideration of other soil properties should be taken into account for more precise prediction of trace element concentrations in the two vegetables, which could help quantitatively evaluate the ecologic risk of toxic trace elements accumulation in crops.

Risk-based screening levels (RBSLs) of some pollutants for residential adults were derived with risk assessment tools developed by United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA), American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM), and Korea Ministry of Environment (KMOE) and compared each other. To make the comparison simple, ingestion of soil, dermal contact with soil, outdoor inhalation of vapors, indoor inhalation of vapors, and inhalation of soil particulates were chosen as exposure pathways. The results showed that the derived RBSLs varied for every exposure pathway. For direct exposure pathways (i.e., ingestion of soil and dermal contact with soil), the derived RBSLs varied mainly due to the different default values for exposure factors and toxicity data. When identical default values for the parameters were used, the same RBSLs could be derived regardless of the assessment tools used. For inhalation of vapors and inhalation of soil particulates, however, different analysis methods for cross-media transfer rates were used and different assumptions were established for each tool, identical RBSLs could not be obtained even if the same default values for exposure factors were used. Especially for inhalation of soil particulates pathway, screening level derived using KMOE approach (most conservative) was approximately 5000~10000 times lower than the screening level derived using ASTM approach (least conservative). Our results suggest that, when deriving RBSL using a specific tool, it is a prerequisite to technically review the analysis methods for cross-media transfer rates as well as to understand how the assessment tool derives the default values for exposure factors.

Shallow slope failures in residual soil during periods of prolonged infiltration are common over the world. One of the key factors that dominate slope stability is hydrological response associated with infiltration. Hence, the soil-water profile during rainfall infiltration into unsaturated soil must me examined to evaluate slope stability. However, the hydraulic response of unsaturated soil is complicated by inherent uncertainties of the soil hydraulic properties. This study presents a methodology for assessing the effects of parameter uncertainty of hydraulic properties on the response of a analytical infiltration model using first-order reliability method. The unsaturated soil properties are considered as uncertain variables with means, standard deviations, and marginal probability distributions. Sensitivities of the probabilistic outcome to the basic uncertainties in the input random variables are provided through importance factors.

최근 토양자원에 대한 인식은 작물생산 뿐 아니라 우리가 살아가는 환경의 질을 좌우하는데 중요한 역할을 하고 있는 것으로 변화되고 있다. 최근 연구에서는 정책계획과 개발기본계획에 대해 각 개별계획이 가지는 고유 특성을 감안하여 토양특성에 미치는 영향에 대한 검토의 필요성이 대두되고 있다. 본 연구는 국가환경정책 및 국제협약 등 상위계획에서의 토양 세부평가 항목을 추출하여 댐건설 장기계획에 적용함으로써 향후 전략환경영향평가에 합리적으로 적용할 수 있는 방법을 도출하고자 하였다. 그 결과, 토양침식, 토양영양물질, 토양오염, 토양이동, 토양생물다양성 등에 영향을 주는 것으로 나타났으며, 이들 세부 항목들은 기존 환경영향평가서상의 항목과 일정부분 중복되는 것으로 나타났다. 따라서, 향후 전략환경영향평가시 평가항목간의 합리적 연계방안에 대한 추가연구가 필요할 것으로 보인다.
