북동태평양 클라리온-클리퍼톤 균열대(Clarion-Clipperton Fracture Zone) 사이에 위치한 연구지역 퇴적물의 전단강도 특성과 퇴적학적 변화요인을 파악하기위하여 연구지역 각 지점에서 다중주상시료채취기로 채취된 69개 표층퇴적물을 분석하였다. 북부지역 원양성 적점토의 평균 전단강도는 4.4kPa로 낮은 반면, 중부지역 규질 퇴적물의 평균전단강도는 6.3kPa로 가장 높다. 남부지역 탄산질 퇴적물은 3.4kPa로 가장 낮으며, 남부지역과 중부지역사이의 전이퇴적물은 3.8kPa로 탄산질 퇴적물과 규질퇴적물의 중간 값을 보인다. 원양성 적점토가 완만한 전단강도 증가를 보이는 이유는 일반적인 고화 과정에 의한 함수율 감소에 의한 결과이다. 반면에 규질퇴적물에서 나타나는 퇴적깊이에 따른 전단강도의 급격한 증가는 퇴적결층과 연관되어 있다. 탄산질 퇴적물이 가장 낮은 전단강도를 보이는 이유는 남부지역이 타 지역에 비해 퇴적율이 월등히 높기 때문이다.

This paper evaluates the geotechnical and geo-engineering properties of the South Pars Zone (SPZ) marls in Assalouyeh, Iran. These marly beds mostly belong to the Aghajari and Mishan formations which entail the gray, cream, black, green, dark red and pink types. Marls can be observed as rock (soft rock) or soil. Marlstone outcrops show a relatively rapid change to soils in the presence of weathering. To geotechnically characterise the marls, field and laboratory experiments such as particle-size distribution, hydrometer, Atterberg limits, uniaxial compression, laboratory direct-shear, durability and carbonate content tests have been performed on soil and rock samples to investigate the physico-mechanical properties and behaviour of the SPZ marls in order to establish empirical relations between the geo-engineering features of the marls. Based on the experiments conducted on marly soils, the USCS classes of the marls is CL to CH which has a LL ranging from 32 to 57% and PL ranging from 18 to 27%. Mineralogical analyses of the samples revealed that the major clay minerals of the marls belong to the smectite or illite groups with low to moderate swelling activities. The geomechanical investigations revealed that the SPZ marls are classified as argillaceous lime, calcareous marl and marlstone (based on the carbonate content) which show variations in the geomechanical properties (i.e., with a cohesion ranging from 97 to 320 kPa and a friction angle ranging from 16 to 35 degrees). The results of the durability tests revealed that the degradation potential showed a wide variation from none to fully disintegrated. According to the results of the experiments, the studied marls have been classified as calcareous marl, marlstone and argillaceous lime due to the variations in the carbonate and clay contents. The results have shown that an increase in the carbonate content leads to a decrease in the degradation potential and an increase in the density and strength parameters such as durability and compressive strength. A comparison of the empirical relationships obtained from the regression analyses with similar studies revealed that the results obtained herein are reasonably reliable.

The distributions of Cd, Cu, and Zn concentration in soil treated with one (1988) or two (1988 and 1993) applications of sewage sludge at rates of 0, 25, 50, and $100Mg\;ha^{-1}$ (dry weight basis) were determined to assess the accumulation and mobility of the heavy metals. The heavy metals accumulated almost entirely in 0 to 15 cm soil depths. Small amounts of the metals moved out of the tillage zone (0-15 cm depth) into the subsoil, but even at the high rate of sewage sludge, little movement of heavy metals occurred below 100 cm depth. The water-extractable Cd, Cu, and Zn concentrations were very low regardless of the rate of sewage sludge application. Availability of metals as determined by DTPA extraction showed the percentage of DTPA-extractable/total concentration increased with sewage sludge application. In the 0-15 cm depth of sewage sludge treated soil, the percentage of DTPA-extractable/total concentration was higher than 46% for Cd, but the value was less than 27% and 17% for Cu and Zn, respectively. The Cd, Cu, and Zn added to this calcareous clay soil by sewage sludge application were not very mobile, and the amount of plant available form was very small.

The paper employs a feed forward neural network with back-propagation algorithm for modeling time dependent swell in clays containing carbonate in the presence of sulfuric acid. The oedometer swell percent is estimated at a nominal surcharge pressure of 6.25 kPa to develop 612 data sets for modeling. The input parameters used in the network include time, sulfuric acid concentration, carbonate percentage, and liquid limit. Among the total data sets, 280 (46%) were assigned to training, 175 (29%) for testing and the remaining 157 data sets (25%) were relegated to cross validation. The network was programmed to process this information and predict the percent swell at any time, knowing the variable involved. The study demonstrates that it is possible to develop a general BPNN model that can predict time dependent swell with relatively high accuracy with observed data ($R^2$=0.9986). The obtained results are also compared with generated non-linear regression model.

본 연구소는 소규모 유역에서 하천수와 지하수의 溶存이온 특성을 통하여 각종 이온들의 溶脫特性과 粘土鑛物의 형성환경, 化學的 風化量 등을 추정해 본 것이다. 필자는 본 연구를 위하여 1990년 10월 부터 1년간에 걸쳐 유량측정 및 수질분석을 실시하였고 야면의 4개 지점에서 점토광물을 분석하였다. 분석결과, 암석의 풍화에 의한 溶存物質은 전체의 약 39$%$ 미만이었고, 유역내의 풍화층에 집적되는 이온은 $H^+$, $K^+$, Fe, Mn 등이었다. 물질의 계절적인 收支特性과 水文學的 자료로 볼 때, 여름에는 Kaolinite가 열역학적 측면에서 안정된 점토광물이며, 2:1 점토광물도 Kaolinite로 변형될 가능성이 높다. 풍화에 유출되는 2차광물의 형성과 식생의 영향이 비교적 적은 $Na^+$를 사용하여 화학적 풍화량을 추정한 결과, 본 유역의 화강암이 1년에 화학적으로 풍화되는 양은 약 31.31g/$m^2$정도인 것으로 밝혀졌다.

Ecological role of earthworms in red pine forest was investigated with emphasis on the population size, cast production and changes of physicoKDICical properties of soil by earthworm's activities. The density of earthworms was 62.8/m2 in August, 1992. Average biomass of earthworms was 16.3 g/m2. N and P concentrations in the tissue of earthworms were 28.5 mgN/g and 0.5 mgP/g, respectively. Cast production continued from April to November, with a peak in August. Annual production of earthworm casts was 5,379 g/m2. Bulk density of surface soil decreased due to the earthworm's cast-forming activity. Clay fraction in surface soil increased by addition of casts. Soil KDICical properties were significantly different between the surface soil and the earthworm casts. The amounts of organic matter, N, P, K, Ca and Mg added to the soil via earthworm casts during one year were 9.3t/ha, 11.29 kg/ha, 0.78 kg/ha, 12.36 kg/ha, 140.29 kg/ha and 20.96 kg/ha, respectively. Earthworms can feed on waxy and resinous litter when it became palatable by decomposing processes.

A 120-cm core recovered from Lake Hovsgol, the northern Mongolia provides evidence for climate variability since the Marine Isotope Stage 3, representing a sharp lithological change. The lowermost part of the core consists of diatom-barren calcareous silty clay without coarse sands, framboidal pyrite, and biogenic components deposited during the MIS 3. Following the last glacial maximum, in-situ moss is included in the sediments, as lake-level was retreated by cold and dry environment with low precipitation. The AMS radiocarbon ages of the plant fragments match a marked lithologic boundary between 14,060 and 14,325 $^{14}C$ yr BP. The contents of coarse sands abruptly increase, indicating probably wind-derived sandy dust or coarse grains contributed from floating icebergs. And abundant framboidal pyrite grains were deposited in an anoxic environment, as reflected by high accumulation of organic matters at a low lake stand. During the deglaciation, quantities of coarse sands, ostracod, shell fragments, framboidal pyrite, and diatom markedly varies by regional and global scale climate regimes. Some allochthonous coarse sands were probably ice-rafted debris derived from floating icebergs. A rapid increase in diatom productivity probably marked the onset of Bolling-Allerod warming. Subsequent high concentration of framboidal pyrite probably represents a dry and cold condition, such as Younger Drays events. Consistent warm period with high precipitation at Holocene is documented by diatomaceous clayey ooze without framboidal pyrite, coarse sands, and ostracod.

저층 퇴적물내 탄소와 질소성분의 조절인자를 파악하기 위한 광역적 환경조사가 1997년부터 2002년까지 서경 131.5도를 중심으로 북위 5도에서 17도 사이에서 수행되었다. 위도에 따라 지역적인 분포를 보이는 연구지역의 퇴적물은 네 가지로 분류할 수 있다; 석회질 연니($5{\sim}6^{\circ}N$), 규질 퇴적물($8{\sim}12^{\circ}N$), 원양성 적점토($16{\sim}17^{\circ}N$), 석회질과 규질이 섞여 있는 혼합 퇴적물($7^{\circ}N$). 무기탄소함량은 탄산염보상심도(CCD)와 수심에 의해 변하고 있었다. 수심이 CCD보다 얕은 저위도 지역에서는 석회질 물질이 잘 보존되고 있었다. 반면 규질 퇴적물과 적점토가 우세한 고위도 지역은 수심이 CCD보다 깊을 뿐만이 아니라 낮은 수층 생산성을 가지고 있다. 따라서 대부분의 석회질 물질들은 용해되고 그 결과 퇴적층내 무기탄소함량은 0.05%이하의 낮은 값을 나타내었다. 유기탄소와 총질소함량은 수층의 생산력이 상대적으로 높은 규질 퇴적물지역이 적점토지역보다 함량이 높게 나타났다. 석회질 연니내 유기탄소와 총질소 함량은 규질 퇴적물보다 낮게 나타났다. 이는 상대적으로 낮은 수심에 기인된 저층으로 유입되는 석회질 물질의 높은 유입율이 퇴적층내 유기물 함량을 희석하기 때문인 것으로 추정된다. 전체적인 결과들은 CCD와 연관된 수심, 수층의 생산력, 그리고 퇴적율이 연구지역내 탄소와 질소함량의 광역적 분포를 조절하고 있음을 지시한다.

Floristic cmposition and soil properties were analyzed in chines cork oak(quercus variabilis)cmmunities in the limestone area, tanyang, ch'ungbuk province in korea. The tree layer was composed of quercus dentata, platycarya strobilacea, fraxinus rhynchophylla and others as wel as quercus variabilis. the shrub layer was dominated by ulmus davidiana for. suberosa,shrubby q. variabilis. euonymus alatus and rhus chinensis. among these, u. davidiana for. suberosa was known to have a restricted distribution to calcareous area, and 9 species in the shrub layer including e. alatus, indigofera kirilowii and rhamnus davurica belonged to the calcicole. The herb layer was dominated by carex lanceolata and spodiopogen cotulifer. ten specirs including g. lanceolata, clematis mandshurica, isachne globosa, lithospermum arvense and scabiosa mansenensis belonged to the calcicode. soil texture was classified to clay loam in both top and subsoil. Water cotent and organic matter were consistentl higher in top soil than in subsoil. soil ph rangd 7.8~8.4. Total n concentration in top soil ranged from 0.2 to 0.4mg/g, which was higher than that in subsoil. Available p and exchangeable k concentretion were also significantly higher in op soil than in subsoil. However, exchangeable ca concentration was similar betweenthe top and the subsoil. Unlike the other nutrients, exchangeable mg concentration in top soil was lower than that in subsoil. orangic matter, n, p and k content in this chinese cork oak stand showed as much as the other noncalcareous sites. Soil properties in this study area seemed to have been influenced by casts forming activities of earthworms.
