Nitrogen pollution in urban and rural groundwater is a common problem and poses a major threat to drinking water supplies based on groundwater. In this work, the kinetics of nitrification-denitrification coupled reactions are modeled and new reaction modules for the RT3D code describing the fate and transport of nitrogen species, dissolved oxygen, dissolved organic carbon, and biomass are developed and tested. The proposed nitrogen transformations and transport model showed very good match with the results of other public codes.

오염 토양 세척 공정에서의 계면활성제 비용을 줄이기 위해 활성탄을 이용한 선택적 흡착을 통해 계면활성제의 회수와 재이용 공정을 제안하였다. 본 연구에서는 토양 세척 공정, 계면활성제 회수 공정, 계면활성제 재이용에 의한 토양 재세척 공정으로 구성된 전체 공정에 대한 전산모사를 수행하여 운전변수에 대한 영향을 분석하였다. 계면활성제 첨가량은 미셀 생성 농도의 6-10배 정도가 최적이었으며, 활성탄 첨가량이 너무 많을 경우 계면활성제 재이용 효율이 감소하는 결과를 얻었다. 토양 흡착 효율 인자는 세척 공정에 크게 영향을 미치지 않는 반면, 활성탄 흡착 효율 인자는 회수 공정에 큰 영향을 미칠 수 있었다. 계면활성제 회수 및 재이용 공정을 적용할 경우 기존 세척 공정에 비해 계면활성제 요구량을 20-30% 수준으로 줄일 수 있을 것으로 보이며 발생하는 폐수에서의 오염도도 크게 줄일 수 있을 것으로 기대된다. 본 연구에서 개발된 모델을 통해 실제 복잡한 실험 이전 단계에서 전체 공정의 성능을 예측할 수 있으며 다양한 운전조건을 모사하여 최적의 운전조건을 도출하기 위한 기본적인 자료로 활용될 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

Risk based pollution level of Pb and Cd in metal contaminated soils depending on physicochemical properties of soil in a target site was assessed using biotic ligand model. Heavy metal activity in soil solution defined as exposure activity (EA) was assumed to be toxic to Vibrio fischeri and soil organisms. Predicted effective activity (PEA) determined by biotic ligand model was compared to EA value to calculate risk quotient. Field contaminated soils (n = 10) were collected from a formes area and their risk based pollution levels were assessed in the present study using the calculated risk quotient. Concentrations of Pb determined by aqua regia were 295, 258, and 268 mg/kg in B, H and J points and concentrations of Cd were 4.73 and 6.36 mg/kg in G and I points, respectively. These points exceeded the current soil conservation standards. However, risk based pollution levels of the ten points were not able to be calculated because concentrations of Pb and Cd in soil solution were smaller than detection limits or one (i.e., non toxic). It was because heavy metal activity in soil solution was dominant toxicological form to organisms, not a total heavy metal concentration in soil. In addition, heavy metal toxicity was decreased by competition effect of major cations and formation of complex with dissolved organic carbon in soil solution. Therefore, it is essential to consider site-specific factors affecting bioavailability and toxicity for estimating reliable risk of Pb and Cd.

Two man-made carbon emissions, fossil fuel emissions and land use emissions, have been perturbing naturally occurring global carbon cycle. These emitted carbons will eventually be deposited into the atmosphere, the terrestrial biosphere, the soil, and the ocean. In this study, Simple Global Carbon Model (SGCM) was used to simulate global carbon cycle and to estimate global carbon budget. For the model input, fossil fuel emissions and land use emissions were taken from the literature. Unlike fossil fuel use, land use emissions were highly uncertain. Therefore land use emission inputs were adjusted within an uncertainty range suggested in the literature. Simulated atmospheric $CO_2$ concentrations were well fitted to observations with a standard error of 0.06 ppm. Moreover, simulated carbon budgets in the ocean and terrestrial biosphere were shown to be reasonable compared to the literature values, which have considerable uncertainties. Simulation results show that with increasing fossil fuel emissions, the ratios of carbon partitioning to the atmosphere and the terrestrial biosphere have increased from 42% and 24% in the year 1958 to 50% and 30% in the year 2016 respectively, while that to the ocean has decreased from 34% in the year 1958 to 20% in the year 2016. This finding indicates that if the current emission trend continues, the atmospheric carbon partitioning ratio might be continuously increasing and thereby the atmospheric $CO_2$ concentrations might be increasing much faster. Among the total emissions of 399 gigatons of carbon (GtC) from fossil fuel use and land use during the simulation period (between 1960 and 2016), 189 GtC were reallocated to the atmosphere (47%), 107 GtC to the terrestrial biosphere (27%), and 103GtC to the ocean (26%). The net terrestrial biospheric carbon accumulation (terrestrial biospheric allocations minus land use emissions) showed positive 46 GtC. In other words, the terrestrial biosphere has been accumulating carbon, although land use emission has been depleting carbon in the terrestrial biosphere.

This study has been carried out to estimate aboveground carbon contents in an average 30-years-old Betula platyphylla and 32-years-old Juglans mandshurica stands in Chungju, Chungbuk Province. Nine sample trees were cut in each forest and soil samples were collected. Carbon concentration in stemwood, stembark, branch, and foliage were ranged from 54.6% to 57.0% in Betula platyphylla and 53.5% to 56.9% in Juglans mandshurica stands. Aboveground carbon contents was estimated by the equation model logWt=A+BlogD where Wt is oven-dry weight in kg and D is DBH in cm. Total aboveground carbon contents was 34.31t/ha in Betula platyphylla stand and 21.10t/ha in Juglans mandshurica stand. Aboveground net primary carbon production was estimated at 2.31t/ha/yr in Betula platyphylla stand and 2.03t/ha/yr in Juglans mandshurica stand.

From published data of mature forests worldwide, Raich and Nadelhoffer suggested that total belowground carbon allocation (TBCA) could be estimated from the difference between annual rates of soil respiration and aboveground litterfall. Here we analyze new measurements of IRGA-based soil respiration and litterfall of natural mature oak forests dominated by Quercus mongolica in Korea. Rates of in situ soil respiration and aboveground litter production are highly and positively correlated. Our results disagree with the Raich and Nadelhoffer model far world forests. A regression analysis of the data from Q. mongolica forests produced the following relationship: annual soil respiration : 141 + 2.08 ${\times}$ annual litterfall. The least squares regression line has a more gentle slope (2.08) than the slope (2.92) described by Raich and Nedelhoffer for mature forests worldwide. The regression slope of our study indicates that, on average, soil respiration is about two times the aboveground litterfall-C, which further implies that TBCA is similar with annual aboveground litterfall-C at natural Q. mongolica forests in Korea. The non-zero Y-intercept (141) of the regression indicates that TBCA may be greater than litterfall-C where litterfall rate are relativery low. Over a gradient of litterfall-C ranging from 200-370 g C $m^{-2}yr^{-l}$, TBCA increased from 350-530 g C $m^{-2}yr^{-l}$.

오염물질이 토양에 흡착 또는 탈착하는 성질은 지하계에서 오염물질의 이동과 거동에 큰영향을 미친다. 아트라진을 대상으로 광주지역 7가지 토양을 이용하여 흡착 및 탈착특성을 조사하였다. 토양의 유기탄소함량 (organic carbon content)은 $0.42{\sim}2.82%$의 범위였으며, 아트라진의 토양분배계수 ($K_d$)는 $0.48{\sim}3.26\;l/kg$의 범위였다. 경방 토양과 용동토양을 제외한 나머지 토양들은 유기탄소함량이 증가함에 따라 $K_d$ 값은 증가하였다. Three site desortpion model을 이용하여 평형 탈착분율, 비평형 탈착분율, 비탈착 분율 그리고 탈착속도계수를 구하였다. 실험한 모든 토양에서 아트라진의 비탈착 분율이 산출되었고, 다단탈착 실험에서도 탈착되지 않는 아트라진이 토양에 존재하였다. 다단 탈착 실험에서 흡착 등온선과 탈착 등온선이 일치하지 않는 이력현상이 나타났다.

The environmental behaviors of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are mainly governed by their solubility and partitioning properties on soil media in a subsurface system. In surfactant-enhanced remediation (SER) systems, surfactant plays a critical role in remediation. In this study, sorptive behaviors and partitioning of naphthalene in soils in the presence of surfactants were investigated. Silica and kaolin with low organic carbon contents and a natural soil with relatively higher organic carbon content were used as model sorbents. A nonionic surfactant, Triton X-100, was used to enhance dissolution of naphthalene. Sorption kinetics of naphthalene onto silica, kaolin and natural soil were investigated and analyzed using several kinetic models. The two compartment first-order kinetic model (TCFOKM) was fitted better than the other models. From the results of TCFOKM, the fast sorption coefficient of naphthalene ($k_1$) was in the order of silica > kaolin > natural soil, whereas the slow sorbing fraction ($k_2$) was in the reverse order. Sorption isotherms of naphthalene were linear with organic carbon content ($f_{oc}$) in soils, while those of Triton X-100 were nonlinear and correlated with CEC and BET surface area. Sorption of Triton X-100 was higher than that of naphthalene in all soils. The effectiveness of a SER system depends on the distribution coefficient ($K_D$) of naphthalene between mobile and immobile phases. In surfactant-sorbed soils, naphthalene was adsorbed onto the soil surface and also partitioned onto the sorbed surfactant. The partition coefficient ($K_D$) of naphthalene increased with surfactant concentration. However, the $K_D$ decreased as the surfactant concentration increased above CMC in all soils. This indicates that naphthalene was partitioned competitively onto both sorbed surfactants (immobile phase) and micelles (mobile phase). For the mineral soils such as silica and kaolin, naphthalene removal by mobile phase would be better than that by immobile phase because the distribution of naphthalene onto the micelles ($K_{mic}$) increased with the nonionic surfactant concentration (Triton X-100). For the natural soil with relatively higher organic carbon content, however, the naphthalene removal by immobile phase would be better than that by mobile phase, because a high amount of Triton X-100 could be sorbed onto the natural soil and the sorbed surfactant also could sorb the relatively higher amount of naphthalene.

This study investigates the prediction of soil OM on Korean soils using the Visible-Near Infrared (Vis-NIR) spectroscopy. The ASD Field Spec Pro was used to acquire the reflectance of soil samples to visible to near-infrared radiation (350 to 2500 nm). A total of 503 soil samples from 61 Korean soil series were scanned using the instrument and OM was measured using the Walkley and Black method. For data analysis, the spectra were resampled from 500-2450 nm with 4 nm spacing and converted to the $1^{st}$ derivative of absorbance (log (1/R)). Partial least squares regression (PLSR) and regression rules model (Cubist) were applied to predict soil OM. Regression rules model estimates the target value by building conditional rules, and each rule contains a linear expression predicting OM from selected absorbance values. The regression rules model was shown to give a better prediction compared to PLSR. Although the prediction for Andisols had a larger error, soil order was not found to be useful in stratifying the prediction model. The stratification used by Cubist was mainly based on absorbance at wavelengths of 850 and 2320 nm, which corresponds to the organic absorption bands. These results showed that there could be more information on soil properties useful to classify or group OM data from Korean soils. In conclusion, this study shows it is possible to develop good prediction model of OM from Korean soils and provide data to reexamine the existing prediction models for more accurate prediction.

Simple Biosphere model 2(SiB2)는 전구기후모형 (global climate model)의 지표면모형으로서 토양-식생-대기 사이의 에너지, 물 및 이산화탄소 교환을 모의한다. 특히 광합성-기공전도 하부모형을 포함하고 있어, 식물군락의 광합성과 기공개폐기작을 근거로 하여 이산화탄소 동화량 및 물의 증산량을 계산한다. 따라서 SiB2 수치실험 결과를 통해, 육상생태계에 있어서의 이산화탄소 순환, 물수지, 그리고 환경과 식물군락간의 상호관계를 분석할 수 있다. 본 종설은 일례로서 개량된 SiB2-Paddy를 이용하여, 다양한 식생 및 토지 이용을 보이는 태국 챠오플라야강 유역의 하천유출량 변화에 관한 연구를 소개한다. 이는 SiB2 수치실험결과가 지표면 식생의 차이에 따른 유출량의 변화를 예측 가능하며, 이를 통하여 육상생태계에 있어서 식생이 갖는 기능적인 측면을 연구하는데 적합한 모형임을 알 수 있었다. 그러나 SiB2모형을 이용하여 더욱 정확도 높은 육상 생태계 모의를 위해서는 토양호흡, 엽면적지수, 식물군락간 경쟁 그리고 뿌리의 분포를 고려한 토양수분 등을 모의할 수 있는 하부모형의 도입이 필요하다.
