Changes of soil properties due to sedimentation and erosion in the river estuary may lead changes in environmental factors that affect plant growth and distribution, Then habitats in the river estuary that provide various ecological functions can also be influenced. Topsoil samples were analyzed in order to understand the soil properties of important barrier islands and habitat types in the Nakdong river estuary. The samples were obtained from Phragmites communis and Scirpus planiculmis habitats, the tidal flats in the southern area of Eulsukdo, and in Mangeummerydeung, Baekhapdeung, and Doyodeung. Analyses results showed that bulk density, pH, organic matter content and total nitrogen concentration which were directly or indirectly affected by vegetation showed significant difference (p<0.05) with habitat types but no differences in water content and oxidation reduction potential which could be affected by soil texture and showed significant difference among barrier islands. Results suggested that soil properties on barrier islands in the Nakdong river estuary were influenced first by geomorphic changes due to sedimentation and erosion, and then by the presence or type of vegetation. A range of physical and chemical properties were analyzed; soil water content and bulk density (physical properties), and organic content and pH (chemical properties) were correlated with seven other soil properties, at a level of significance higher than 90%. These aspects played an important role in determining overall soil properties in the studied area.

In Korea, there are debris-flow disasters induced by typhoon and localized torrential rainfall annually. There are particularly extensive debris-flow disasters in Gangwon-do because of its geomorphological characteristics; the extensive coverage of mountainous region, steep slope, and shallow soil. In this paper, we constructed a GIS database about topological characteristics of debris-flow basin in Gangwon-do by years of field survey. Also, we conducted frequency analysis based on this database with the digital forest type map and the digital soil map. We analyzed frequencies of debris-flow by simple count for topological characteristics, whereas we analyzed by considering an area ratio based on GIS for physiognomic and geologic characteristics. We used slope, aspect, width, depth and destruction shapes for analysis about topological characteristics of debris-flow basin. Also we used attributes of forest physiognomy, diameter, age, and density about physiognomic characteristics, and i n terms of geologic characteristics, we used attributes of drainage class, effective soil depth, subsoil properties, subsoil grave content, erosion class, parent material of soil, and topsoil properties. In consequence, we figured out topographic, forest physiognomic, and geologic characteristics of debris-flow basin. This result is applicable to establish a rational disaster prevention policy as a fundamental information.

최근 강우강도 등의 기후변화로 인한 표토침식량이 증가하고 있고, 이에 따른 사회적 환경적 문제가 부각되고 있다. 특히 표토는 인류에게 식량생산의 기반이 되고, 정주공간을 제공할 뿐만 아니라 에너지 생산, 수자원 함양, 기후변화 대응, 생물 다양성 유지, 생태계의 건전성, 자원함양 및 순환, 오염물질 정화 등 소중한 생명자원이다. 이에 환경부에서는 2012월 12월 표토의 침식현황에 관한 고시를 제정하고, 표토 유실 대책 방안을 수립하기 위한 노력을 기울이고 있다. 이에 자원으로서의 표토를 보전하기 위한 단기적 관점의 대책 수립을 위한 웹GIS 기반 단일 강우에 의한 표토침식량을 예측하는 시스템을 개발하였다. 본 연구는 크게 표토침식 예측 모듈 개발과 정확성 평가를 위한 시험포 단위 모니터링 그리고 모듈을 적용한 웹GIS 시스템 개발, 시범적용을 위한 강원도 홍천군 자운리 DB 구축으로 구분된다. 표토침식예측 모듈의 정확성을 검증하기 위하여 가로 4m ${\times}$ 세로 22m, 경사도 3%, 9% 시험포 2개를 조성, 2015년 5월 11일부터 2015년 11월 23일까지 강우량, 유출량, 표토침식량을 조사하였으며, 웹 GIS 시스템은 Open Source Software인 Geoserver, PostGIS, OpenLayers를 활용하여 개발하였다. 마지막으로 개발된 웹GIS 표토침식예측시스템의 시범적용을 위하여 강원도 홍천군 자운리의 농경지 경계, 경사도, 경사장, 작물특성 등에 대한 GIS DB를 구축하였다. 시험포 모니터링 결과 강우발생일수는 총 64일로 관측되었고, 이중 유출은 총 30회가 발생되었다. 이 결과를 활용하여 표토침식 예측 모듈을 검증한 결과 3 % 시험포의 유출량 NSE : 0.88, $R^2$ : 0.91, 표토침식량 NSE : 0.87, $R^2$ : 0.90, 9 % 시험포의 유출량 NSE : 0.76, $R^2$ : 0.82, 표토 침식량 NSE : 0.82, $R^2$ : 0.88로 나타났다. 웹GIS 표토침식 예측 시스템은 Layer 정보, 맵, GIS tool, 경작기 정보, 날씨 정보 등으로 구성되어 있으며, 기상청 Open API와 연동하여 당일의 강수량 예보 데이터와 표토침식량 산정 모듈을 이용하여 예측 표토 침식량 데이터를 제공한다. 하루가 지나면 기상청에서 실측한 강수량 데이터를 이용하여 표토 침식량 산정모듈이 자동적으로 수행된 뒤 실측 강우량에 대한 표토침식량 정보가 제공된다 본 연구에서 개발된 웹GIS기반 표토침식 예측 시스템은 시범 대상 유역인 강원도 홍천군 자운리 유역을 대상으로 구축되었으며, 지속적으로 대상유역을 확대할 계획이다.

There is relatively high vulnerability of soil erosion in slope highland agriculture due to a reclamation of mountain as well as low surface covering during early summer with high rainfall intensity. Especially, in soybean cultivation, soil disturbance by conventional tillage and exposure of topsoil at the early stage of soybean have intensified soil loss. The aim of this study was to evaluate various surface covering methods for reducing soil loss in highland soybean cultivation. The experiment was conducted in 17% sloped lysimeter ($2.5m{\times}13.4m$) with 8 treatments. Amount of runoff water and eroded soil, and soybean growth were investigated. Surface covering through sod culture and plant residue showed 3.4~45.0 runoff water amount with $177{\sim}2,375m^3\;ha^{-1}$ compared with control ($5,274m^3\;ha^{-1}$). And the amount of eroded soil was also reduced by 95% in surface covering treatment with $0.02{\sim}1.94Mg\;ha^{-1}$ than control with $40.72Mg\;ha^{-1}$. Yields of soybean pod showed $0.3Mg\;ha^{-1}$ in rye sod culture, $1.3Mg\;ha^{-1}$ in Ligularia fischeri var. spiciformis Nakai, $0.7Mg\;ha^{-1}$ in Aster koraiensis Nakai, $0.2Mg\;ha^{-1}$ in red clover and $2.0Mg\;ha^{-1}$ in non-covering, on the other hand, covering with cut rye showed $3.8Mg\;ha^{-1}$. Conclusively, covering the soil surface with cut rye were beneficial for reduction of soil loss without decreasing soybean yield in highland sloped fields.
