Objective: The present study was conducted to assess the effect of urease inhibitor (hydroquinone [HQ]) and nitrification inhibitor (dicyandiamide [DCD]) on nitrogen (N) use efficiency of pig slurry for perennial ryegrass regrowth yield and its environmental impacts. Methods: A micro-plot experiment was conducted using pig slurry-urea ¹⁵N treated with HQ and/or DCD and applied at a rate of 200 kg N/ha. The flows of N derived from the pig slurry urea to herbage regrowth and soils as well as soil N mineralization were estimated by tracing pig slurry-urea ¹⁵N, and the N losses via ammonia (NH₃), nitrous oxide (N₂O) emission, and nitrate (NO₃^-) leaching were quantified for a 56 d regrowth of perennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne) sward. Results: Herbage dry matter at the final regrowth at 56 d was significantly higher in the HQ and/or DCD applied plots, with a 24.5% to 42.2% increase in ¹⁵N recovery by herbage compared with the control. Significant increases in soil ¹⁵N recovery were also observed in the plots applied with the inhibitors, accompanied by the increased N content converted to soil inorganic N (NH₄⁺+NO₃^-) (17.3% to 28.8% higher than that of the control). The estimated loss, which was not accounted for in the herbage-soil system, was lower in the plots applied with the inhibitors (25.6% on average) than that of control (38.0%). Positive effects of urease and/or nitrification inhibitors on reducing N losses to the environment were observed at the final regrowth (56 d), at which cumulative NH₃ emission was reduced by 26.8% (on average 3 inhibitor treatments), N₂O emission by 50.2% and NO₃^- leaching by 10.6% compared to those of the control. Conclusion: The proper application of urease and nitrification inhibitors would be an efficient strategy to improve the N use efficiency of pig slurry while mitigating hazardous environmental impacts.

Growth and nitrogen retention of Persicaria thunbergii were investigated in the wetland microcosms which contained the plants growing on soil bed. Nitrogen solution was supplied to the microcosms with the same amount of $NH_4^{+}-N\; and\; NO_3^{-}-N$ at the rates of 0.00, 0.78, 1.57, 3.14g $N{\cdot}m^{-2}{\cdor}wk^{-1}$ from May 1 to August 31, 1995. The solution was detained for 5 days to react with soil and plant and then allowed to leach. The contents of NH_4^{+}-N\;and\; NO_3^{-}-N$ in the leachate, total Kjeldahl nitrogen, plant biomass, and soil characteristics were determined. Nitrogen retained by plant was estimated as the increment of TKN in plant biomass. The addition of 0.78 and 1.57g $N{\cdot}m^{-2}{\cdot}wk^{-1}$ resulted in significant increase of plant biomass. However, plant growth was inhibited when nitrogen was added at the rate of 3.14g $N{\cdot}m^{-2}{\cdot}wk^{-1}$. Overall, the plant biomass was positively correlated with the amount of nitrogen retained by plant and soil system. The amounts of $NO_3^{-}-N$ leached from the microcosms were 5~10 times higher than those of $NH_4^{+}-N$. While total nitrogen added ranged from 143.2 to 576.5g $N/m^2$, total leaching loss of inorganic nitrogen and nitrogen retained by plant was as little as 1.04~22.71g $N/m^2$, and 5.46~12.91g $N/m^2$, respectively. Then, the plant seemed to contribute to KDICical and microbial immobilization of nitrogen in the soil. Finally, it is suggested that a large portion of nitrogen added was lost into the air by denitrification and volatilizaton, and / or leached in organic forms.

냉각재상실사고이후 원전의 원자로건물집수조 여과기에서 화학적 영향을 고려한 수두손실을 종합적으로 평가하기 위한 시험장치를 개발하였다. 시험장치에서 원자로건물집수조와 시험장치에서 물 부피에 대한 여과기 면적의 비가 일치하도록 시험조건을 설정하고 시험을 수행하였다. TSP pH 조절제 조건에서 칼슘실리케이트는 시험 초기에 수두손실을 급격히 상승시켰기 때문에 원자로건물에서 모든 칼슘실리케이트를 제거하여야 함을 확인하였다. 비상노심냉각계통 살수지속시간의 차이에 따른 시험결과는 장기살수조건이 단기살수조건에 비해 12배 정도 높은 수두손실을 보였다. 살수조건 시험결과를 화학적 영향이 없는 수두손실과 비교하면 단기살수와 장기살수의 각 조건에서 5.6배 및 60.8배 수두손실이 증가하는 결과를 보였다. 화학적 영향은 재순환수에 노출된 물질의 양에 따라 초기의 일정기간 동안 알루미늄 및 아연도금 판의 부식에 의해 급격히 증가하고 이들이 부동피막을 형성한 이후에는 NUKONTM 및 콘크리트 등에서 침출된 화학종의 침전에 기인하여 증가율이 감소하는 경향을 보였다. 실험결과는 TSP에 의한 알루미늄의 부동피막 형성이 살수시간이 길어지고 알루미늄의 양이 많을 경우 효과적이지 않다는 것을 보였다.

An experiment was conducted to obtain the quantitative data on the transformation and loss of applied urea-N in waterlogged soil columns. The soil columns were pre-incubated for 35 days to develop oxidized and reduced soil conditions prior to urea application. After urea application at the rate of $150kg\;N\;ha^{-1}$(29.5 mg N), the amounts of nitrogen which were volatilized, leached, and remained in soil column were measured during 38 days of incubation period. On 2 and 4 days of incubation, 54.1%(15.9 mg N) and 98.4%(29.0mg N) of the applied urea was hydrolyzed, respectively. Most of the applied urea was completely hydrolyzed within 6 days. After urea application, the rates of ammonia volatilization were increased with the floodwater pH when the floodwater pH were higher than 7.0. The maximum rate of ammonia volatilization was $0.3mg\;d^{-1}$ when pH of the floodwater showed maximum value of 7.6. The total amount of volatilized nitrogen was 6.1% (1.8mg N) of the applied urea-N. A 63.2 % (18.6mg N) of the applied urea was remained in soil as $NH_4{^+}-N$ and 28.0% (8.2mg N) of the applied urea was leached as $NH_4{^+}-N$ at the end of the incubation. Amount of $NO_3{^-}-N$ in soil was smaller than 2.0 mg throughout the incubation period. The total amount of $NO_3{^-}-N$ leached was very small, which value was 1.8 mg. It suggested that nitrification process was not significant in waterlogged soil column of this study due to high infiltration rate of urea solution applied to the soil column. Therefore only small amount of $NO_3{^-}-N$ was lost by denitrification and leaching process.

본 연구에서는 인을 함유하고 있는 뼈 폐기물과 Mg염을 첨가하여 struvite 결정화 반응을 유도하여 퇴비화 공정에서 암모니아 손실을 저감시키고자 하였다. 뼈 폐기물은 식당에서 발생하는 것으로 건조, 분쇄한 다음 사용하였다. 인 용출실험 결과 뼈 폐기물에는 회분 기준으로 약 20.9%의 인이 포함된 것으로 나타났다. 퇴비화 반응은 식종퇴비 첨가 여부에 따라 차이를 보였으며, 식종퇴비를 첨가한 경우 퇴비화 반응이 더 빨리 진행되었다. 식종퇴비를 사용하지 않는 경우 반응 초기 pH가 낮은 기간이 더 길게 유지되었으며, 이는 뼈 폐기물에 포함된 인 용출에 긍정적인 영향을 주어 struvite 결정화 반응 유발에 기여할 것으로 판단되었다. Struvite 결정화 반응을 통한 질소의 보전 효과는 암모니아 손실량 및 퇴비의 암모니아 함량 변화로부터 분명히 관찰되었다. 즉, Mg염과 뼈 폐기물을 첨가한 경우 암모니아 손실량은 감소하였으며, 퇴비의 암모니라 함량은 상대적으로 증가하였다. 이러한 struvite 결정화 반응은 건조퇴비의 암모니아 함량 분석으로 확실히 파악할 수 있었다. 하지만 뼈 폐기물을 첨가한 경우 struvite 결정화 반응은 수용성 인산염을 사용한 경우에 비하여 낮은 것으로 나타났다.

To study the effects of an urease inhibitor, N-(n-butyl)-thiophosphoric triamide (NBPT), and a nitrification inhibitor, dicyandiamide (DCD), on nitrogen losses and nitrogen use efficiency, urea fertilizer with or without inhibitors and slowrelease fertilizer (synthetic thermoplastic resins coated urea) were applied to direct-seeded flooded rice fields in 1998. In the urea and the urea+DCD treatments, NH$_4$$^{+}$ -N concentrations reached 50 mg N L$^{-1}$ after application. Urea+NBPT and urea+ NBPT+DCD treatments maintained NH$_4$$^{+}$ -N concentrations below 10 mg N L$^{-1}$ in the floodwater, while the slow-release fertilizer application maintained the lowest concentration of NH$_4$$^{+}$ -N in floodwater. The ammonia losses of urea+NBPT and urea+NBPT+DCD treatments were lower than those of urea and urea+DCD treatments during the 30 days after fertilizer application. It was found that N loss due to ammonia volatilization was minimized in the treatments of NBPT with urea and the slow-release fertilizer. The volatile loss of urea+DCD treatment was not significantly different from that of urea surface application. It was found that NBPT delayed urea hydrolysis and then decreased losses due to ammonia volatilization. DCD, a nitrification inhibitor, had no significant effect on ammonia loss under flooded conditions. The slow-release fertilizer application reduced ammonia volatilization loss most effectively. As N0$_3$$^{[-10]}$ -N concentrations in the soil water indicated that leaching losses of N were negligible, DCD was not effective in inhibiting nitrification in the flooded soil. The amount of N in plants was especially low in the slow-release fertilizer treatment during the early growth stage for 15 days after fertilization. The amount of N in the rice plants, however, was higher in the slow-release fertilizer treatment than in other treatments at harvest. Grain yields in the treatments of slow-release fertilizer, urea+NBPT+ DCD and urea+NBPT were significantly higher than those in the treatments of urea and urea+DCD. NBPT treatment with urea and the slow-release fertilizer application were effective in both reducing nitrogen losses and increasing grain yield by improving N use efficiency in direct-seeded flooded rice field.field.

Atmospheric N deposition has far-reaching impacts on forest ecosystems, including on-site impacts such as soil acidification, fertilization, and nutrient imbalances, and off-site environmental impacts such as nitrate leaching and nitrous oxide emission. Although chronic N deposition has been believed to lead to forest N saturation, recent evidence suggests that N retention capacity, particularly in the forest floor, can be surprisingly high even under high N deposition. This review aims to provide an overview of N retention processes in the forest floor and the implications of changing C-N interactions for C sequestration. The fate of available N in forest soils has been explained by the competitive balance between tree roots, soil heterotrophs, and nitrifiers. However, high rates of N retention have been observed in numerous N addition experiments without noticeable increases in tree growth and soil respiration. Alternative hypotheses have been proposed to explain the gap between the input and loss of N in N-enriched, C-limited systems, including abiotic immobilization and mycorrhizal assimilation, both of which do not require additional C sources to incorporate N in soil N pools. Different fates of N in the forest floor have different implications for C sequestration. N-induced tree growth can enhance C accumulation in tree biomass as observed across temperate regions. C loss from forests can amount to or outweigh C gain in N-saturated, declining forests, while another type of 'C-N decoupling' can have positive or neutral effects on soil C sequestration through hampered organic matter decomposition or abiotic N immobilization, respectively.

LD slag, that is, a by-product of steel making process, has been mainly used as land construction materials. Recently, the seashore application of LD slag was tried in Japan and Korea but the reaction between LD slag and seawater was not studied yet. We tried to clarify the leaching reaction and/or mechanism of LD slag and the reaction between seawater and LD slag. We tried to apply these results to the decarbonization of seawater for seawater magnesia process. The high pH solution(over 12) was injected into the sea water and the pH of mixed liquid was adjusted to 9.8. This mixed solution was aged for 8 hours and the 104ppm of CO$_3$$^{-2}$ in the sea water was decreased to 23ppm with the negligible loss of $Mg^2$$^{+}$. The slag particle was directly inserted into the seawater fur practical application. The 0.5~1mm particles were suitable for decarbonization when 5 grade slags mentioned above were reacted with sea water. In this case, the content of CO$_3$$^{-2}$ in the sea water was 53 ppm with the negligible loss of $Mg^2$$^{+}$ after 8 hours aging. The direct application of slag particle fur the decarbonization of seawater takes more reaction time.ime.

Phosphorus (P) which is required by all living plants and animals is an important input for economic crop and livestock production systems. Phosphorus containing compounds are essential for photosynthesis in plants, for energy transformations and for the activity of some hormones in both plants and animals. Loss of soil P to water can occur in particulate forms of P with eroded surface soil and in soluble forms in runoff, soil interflow, and deep leaching. The excessive losses of P from agricultural systems can degrade water quality of surface waters, resulting in accelerating eutrophication. Thus, P is often the limiting element and its control is of prime importance in reducing the accelerated eutrophication of surface waters. However, reserves of phosphate begin to run out, the impacts are likely be immense in terms of rising food prices, growing food insecurity. This paper reviews underappreciated resource as a key component of fertilizers and one of controversial pollutant in terms agronomy and environment.
