BACKGROUND: Different physical and chemical properties of biochar, which is made out of a variety of biomass materials, can impact water movement through amended soil. The objective of this research was to develop a decision support tool evaluating the impact of the shape and the size distribution of biochar on soil saturated hydraulic conductivity ($K_{sat}$). METHODS AND RESULTS: Plastic beads of different size and morphology were compared with biochar to assess impacts on soil $K_{sat}$. Bead and biochar were added at the rate of 5% (v/w) to coarse sand. The particle size of bead and biochar had an effect on the $K_{sat}$, with larger and smaller particle sizes than the original sand grain (0.5 mm) decreasing the $K_{sat}$ value. The equivalent size bead or biochar to the sand grains had no impact on $K_{sat}$. The amendment shape also influenced soil hydraulic properties, but only when the particle size was between 3-6 mm. Intra-particle porosity had no significant influence on the $K_{sat}$ due to its small pore size and increased tortuosity compared to the inter-particle spaces (macro-porosity). CONCLUSION: The results supported the conclusion that both particle size and shape of the amended biochar impacted the $K_{sat}$ value.

This study has conducted to analyze the crelationship among soil properties and to investigate how they affect soil physical characteristics and plant growth. The experiment of woody plant growth was conducted as follows : Type I was the original soil. Type II, the soil particles smaller than 20${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ was removed from the original soil. Type III, the soil particles is smaller than 75${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ was removed from original soil. Wisteria floribunda A.P.DC and Celtis sinensisi Pers. were used for plant growth measurement. 1. Soil type II. the closest to Fuller's curved line, showed high dry bulk density and low in soil pores and saturated hydraulic conductivities. This created poor soil aeration and limited space for the root to growth. When the root did not have sufficient space to grow, there was a lot of physical stress, which hindered the root growth. 2. Soil typeIII was high saturated hydraulic conductivity and a lot of soil pores larger than 10 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$. As a result, there were more available spaces for root to spread. It was considered that there was less physical stress for root growth. Therefore, soil typeIII showed significantly greater root growth. 3. Because soil type III has less small particles and saturated hydraulic conductivity was high, and water infiltrates rapidly into the underground when there was rainfall or irrigation. The soil typeIII becomes much stronger soil mechanically due to the less small particles. Therefore, soil typeIII was a suitable material for applying on planting sites where soil compaction is expected.

The purposes of this study are to develop three-layered Green-Ampt infiltration model considering temporal variation of physical properties of soil and to evaluate the model with field experiment on bare-tilled and soybean-growing soil plots under natural rainfalls. Infiltration tests were conducted on a sandy loam soil. The model has three-layered soil profile including a surface crust, a tilled layer, a subsoil and considers temporal variation of porosity, hydraulic conductivity, capillary pressure head on a tilled layer by natural rainfalls and canopy density variation of crop. Field measurement of porosity, average hydraulic conductivity and average capillary presure head on a tilled layer were conducted by soil sampler and air-entry permeameter at regular intervals-after tillage. It was found that temporal variation of porosity and average hydraulic conductivity might be expressed as a function of cumulative rainfall energy and average capillary pressure head might be expressed as a function of porosity of a tilled soil. The model was calibrated by an optimization technique, Hooke and Jeeves method using hourly surface runoff data. With the calibrated parameters, the model was verified satisfactorily.

본 연구는 구획경계선(區劃境界線)이 토양물리성(土壤物理性)의 공간변이(空間變異)에 미치는 영향을 알기 위하여 10년전 구획정리(區劃整理)로 논을 전전환(田轉換)한 맥류연구소(麥類硏究所)의 시험포지 화동(華東)미사질식양토(Fine clayey, mixed, mesic family of Aquic Hapludalfs)를 공시토양으로 하여 필지경계선(筆地境界線)을 횡단(橫斷)하여 토양물리성(土壤物理性)을 조사하고 조사성적을 고여(古與) 통계학적(統計學的) 방법(方法)과 지질(地質) 통계학적(統計學的) 방법(方法)으로 공간변이성을 해석하였다. 토양입경분포(土壤粒徑分布)는 10m 간격으로 $15{\times}15$ Grid의 교차 225 지점에서 채취한 토양시료를 이용하였고 포장용수량(圃場容水量), 전용적밀도(全容積密度), 포화수리전도도(飽和水理傳導度)등에 대한 물리성은 조사대상면적의 일부분에 대하여 2.5m 간격으로 $18{\times}33$ Grid의 교차지점중 594지점에서 포장조사법으로 직접 측정하였다. 시험 분석결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 1. 토양물리성(土壤物理性)의 변이계수(變異係數)는 4.8%에서 128.8%범위였다. 변이계수(變異係數)는 크기로 보아 포화수리전도도(飽和水理傳導度)는 고변이군(高變異群)으로 분류되었고, 전용적밀도(全容積密度)는 저변이군(低變異群) 그리고 기타 다른 물리성은 중변이군(中變異群)으로 분류할 수 있다. 2. 측정된 값의 평균치로부터 신뢰수준 95%에서 허용오차 10%이내의 정확성을 나타낼 수 있는 시료수는 포장용수량(圃場容水量)이 1개로 가장 적었고 포화수리전도도(飽和水理傳導度)는 687개로 가장 많은 시료수가 요구되었다. 기타 다른 물리성(物理性)은 6-69개의 범위를 나타내었다. 3. 도수분포곡선(度數分布曲線)과 Fractile diagram의 분석 결과 포화수리전도도(飽和水理傳導度)는 대수변환시(對數變換時) 정규분포성(正規分布性)을, 기타 다른 물리성은 실측치(實測値)가 정규분포성을 보였다. 도수분포곡선(度數分布曲線)상에서 평균치(平均値), 중앙치(中央値) 및 최빈치(最頻値)가 차이를 나타내는 특성의 산술평균(算術平均)은 곡선상의 평균에 비해 오차를 유발할 가능성이 컸다. 4. 계열상관(系列相關) 분석(分析)에 의하면 토양물리성(土壤物理性)은 모두 유의성 있는 종속성(從屬性)이 인정되었다. 자기상관(自己相關) 분석(分析) 결과(結果)는 남북방향으로 정상성(定常性)을 가지며 7.5~40m의 영향권(影響圈)을 보였고 토양 깊이간에도 차이가 있었다. 특히 토양의 깊이 50~60cm에서 대부분의 물리성이 비정상성(非定常性)을 보였다. 동서방향으로는 30㎝의 주기성(週期性)을 보이는 것이 특징적이며 구획폭(區劃幅)과 일치하여 구획에 따른 영농관리가 토양의 공간변이성(空間變異性)을 유발하는 원인들중 하나로 생각되었다.

The management standard on soil conditions in 'Fuji' apple to produce high quality fruit were not yet made. Therefore, this study was carried out to investigate the optimum soil environmental conditions of ten contents on production of high quality fruit in 'Fuji' apple. The soil and fruit characteristics were analyzed at total 60 orchards in major apple producing areas such as Chungju, Moonkyeung, yeongju, andong, yeosan and yeongcheon (10 orchards an area). The soil environmental factors affected fruit weight was highest relative contribution in saturated hydraulic conductivity of 36.5%. The bulk density and soil pH were low as relative contribution. The fruit weight was influenced by soil physical properties more than soil chemical properties. The soil environmental factors affected sugar content were hydraulic conductivity of 28.3% and organic matter content of 18.2%. The cultivation layer depth and soil pH were low as relative contribution. The fruit coloring was highest relative contribution in saturated hydraulic conductivity 55.9%. while soil pH, cation and soil texture were low. Fruit coloring was high influenced over 70% by soil physical properties. Finally, relative contribution on fruit quality related with sugar content, fruit weight, and coloring were high influenced by saturated hydraulic conductivity of 21.% and organic matter content of 18.7% but bulk density and cultivation layer depth were low relative contribution. The fruit growth and saturated hydraulic conductivity in 'Fuji' apple were very closely related. Therefore, orchard soil management to produce high quality fruit was very importance drainage management and organic matter application. We concluded that scientific soil management is possible by qualifiable of soil management factors.

This study was carried out to determine the ways in which drying improves and develops dredged soils which exist widely in the lowlands of Korea. Before drying there were large variations in the fundamental physico-chemical properties of dredged soils collected from different places. In the sample soils, saturated hydraulic conductivity decreased gradually with an increase in bulk density with the exception that in air-dried soils a reverse trend was observed. Also in the sample soils, the sedimentation volume and the consistency limits decreased gradually with the decrease in soil water content after the air-drying treatment. The porosity of the sample soils decreased from $0.67{\sim}0.87m^3/m^3\;to\;0.58{\sim}0.66m^3/m^3$ and the liquid-phase range decreased from $0.41{\sim}0.83m^3/m^3\;to\;0.29{\sim}0.71m^3/m^3$. The solid-phase range of sample soils increased $0.13{\sim}0.33m^3/m^3\;to\;0.24{\sim}0.37m^3/m^3$ same as above with air-drying treatment. In conclusion the air-drying treatment caused an irreversible effect on some physical properties. Accordingly, these facts indicate that the effects of air-drying treatment on these properties are considered to be resulted from irreversible changes in the structural status of the sample soils.

본 연구는 산림유역의 일시하천과 간헐천이 상존하는 수변지역을 대상으로 산림벌채로 인한 토양의 교란 정도를 평가하고, 물리적 수문학적 특성 변화 양상을 파악하였다. 총 12개 소유역에서 4개의 처리구(BMP1, BMP2, 개벌구, 대조구)를 적용하였으며, 각 처리구별 벌채 전 후 1년 동안의 모니터링 결과를 비교 분석하였다. 그 결과, 벌채 후 산정된 교란등급은 벌채강도와 상관이 있는 것으로 나타났으며, 조사된 토양의 물리적 수문학적 특성 변화와 일치하는 경향을 보였다. 그러나, 용적밀도 및 공극률의 변화와는 일치하지 않았다. 전면개벌은 강도 높은 지표교란을 야기 시켰으며, 이로 인해 조공극률 및 투수계수는 감소, 토양강도는 증가하였고, 이는 토양의 침식의 간접적인 원인으로 작용하였다. 개벌구에서 강도 높은 지표 교란으로 야기된 토양의 물리적 수문학적 특성 변화는 BMP1과 BMP2에서 완화되는 것으로 나타났다. 그러나, 벌채 후 BMP2에 남겨진 벌채잔재물은 지표의 피복기능으로서의 침식을 완화하는 효과가 없는 것으로 나타났다.

A suction-saturation control technique based on flow pump system was developed to investigate hydraulic properties in unsaturated soils. The flow pump system is designed based on the principle of the axis-translation technique and triaxial equipment, and gives the suction-time and suction-saturation curves, the primary relationship needed for interpreting the response of unsaturated soils and link between theory and the material properties in unsaturated soil mechanics. Using the suction-saturation control technique, suction-time relationship and soil-water retention curve (SWRC) during hydraulic hysteresis were investigated with different net confining pressures and porosities. Three types of soils-two sands and a silt were used in this paper. This paper showed the effect of the hysteresis on the SWRC due to different net confining pressures and porosities. This means that a careful decision must be made as to which condition is to be modeled, since the delicate difference of the conditions in physical modeling can cause the different experimental output.

Saturated soil hydraulic conductivity is a very important soil parameter in numerous practical engineering applications, especially rainfall infiltration and slope stability problems. This parameter is difficult to measure since it is very highly sensitive to various soil conditions. There have been many analytical and empirical formulas to predict saturated soil hydraulic conductivity based on experimental data. However, there have been few studies to investigate in-situ hydraulic conductivity of weathered granite soils, which constitute the majority of soil slopes in Korea. This paper introduces an estimation method to derive saturated hydraulic conductivity of Korean weathered granite soils using in-situ experimental data which were obtained from a variety of slope areas of South Korea. A robust regression analysis was performed using different physical soil properties and an empirical solution with an $R^2$ value of 0.9193 was suggested. Besides that this research validated the proposed model by conducting in-situ saturated soil hydraulic conductivity tests in two slope areas.
