This study was carried out to compare artificial soil formulated by blending calcined clay and coconut peat with perlite, then to evaluate this soil as a perlite substitute for use as an artificial planting medium. To achieve this, a determination of the physico-chemical properties and it's effect on plant growth were conducted by comparing those with large perlite grains and small grains. The results are summarized as follows: 1) The bulk density was 0.41g/㎤. This density was lower than that of field soil, but higher than that of large perlite grain(0.23g/㎤) and small grain(0.25g/㎤). The porosity, field capacity, and saturated hydraulic conductivity were 71.3%, 49.2%, and 3.8$\times$10-2cm/s, respectively. The air-permeability, water holding capacity, and drainage were better than or equal to that both large and small perlite grain. 2) It was near-neutral in reaction(pH=6.6). It had a high organic carbon content(65.8g/kg) and a low available phosphoric acid content(84.7mg/kg). It was similar to crop soil in cation exchange capacity(11.4cmol/kg). It had a low exchangeable calcium content(0.71cmol/kg), a low exchangeable magnesium content(0.68cmol/kg), a high exchangeable potassium content(2.54cmol/kg), and a high exchangeable sodium content(1.12cmol/kg). Except for the exchangeable potassium and sodium content, the chemical properties were better than or equal to both large and small grain perlite. The excessive exchangeable potassium or sodium content will inhibit plant growth. 3) In Experiment 1, the plant growth tended to be higher compared to that of large and small perlite gains. But in Experiment 2, it tended to be lower. This might be linked to the excessive exchangeable potassium or sodium content. 4) It could be considered as a renewable perlite substitute for greening of artificial soil. But, it would be necessary to leach the excessive exchangeable potassium or sodium to avoid the risk of inhibiting plant growth.

기존의 토양상 및 퇴비상을 이용한 악취제거가 주로 흡착에 의존한 나머지 탈취상이 쉽게 탈취능의 한계에 이른다. 따라서, 본 연구에서는 미생물 활성 탈취상의 조건인 높은 유기물함량, 보수성, 통기성 및 낮은 정압 등을 고르게 갖추고 있는 토탄에 활성슬러지를 식종하여 분뇨처리장, 하수처리장 등에서 발생빈도 및 취기강도가 큰 무기성악취 중 암모니아의 제거실험을 수행하였다. 실험결과, 자연 토탄상에서는 암모니아의 토탄수분에 의한 이온화에 따라서 pH가 상승하여 암모니아의 자연 유출 현상이 관찰되었다. 암모니아 제거 기작은 주로 음이론 콜로이드에 의한 흡착에 의존하였다. 미생물 활성 토탄상에서는 미생물 활동에 따른 pH의 완만한 상승으로 이론적 암모늄 이온의 비율이 자연토탄상보다 높았으나, 실제로 토탄상에 축적된 암모니아성 질소의 값은 질산균의 질산화에 의해 자연 토탄상보다 적었다. 암모니아의 제거기작은 반응조 운영 초기에는 흡착이 우세하였으며, 중반이후에는 질산화가 두드러졌다. 실험으로 얻은 암모니아 유입부하량, 암모니아 유출부하량, $NH_4{^+}$-N, $NO_x$-N, Org-N을 이용하여 질소에 대한 물질수지(Mass Balance)를 산정하고, 실험결과로 얻은 미생물 활성 탈취상의 최대 활성 시점인 비정상상태의 임계시간과 회귀분석에 의해 구한 암모니아의 흡착곡선을 이용하여 미생물 활성 토탄상에서 흡착능 포화의 연장시간을 산정하였다.

한국의 겨울철 온도 조건하에서 가온에 의한 근권부의 온도조절이 잔디생육과 품질에 미치는 영향을 조사하고 아울러 shoot의 무기성분 함량을 조사한 결과 다음과 같은 결론을 얻었다. 1. 겨울철 근권부의 온도를 20$\pm$2$^{\circ}C$로 유지한 결과 대조구의 잔디는 동해로 인해 생육이 멈춘 반면 온도 처리구에서는 공시된 한지형 잔디(Kentucky bluegrass, perennial ryegrass, tall fescue) 모두에서 녹색이 유지되었으며 예초를 요할 정도의 생육이 계속되었다. 그러나 들잔디의 경우 겨울철 근권부의 온도를 높여주어도 지상부의 생육은 불가능하였다. 2. 온도 처리구에서의 예초량은 tall fescue에서 가장 많았고, 엽록소 함량은 perennial ryegrass에서 가장 높았으며 Kentucky bluegrass는 안토시아닌 함량이 다른 종류에 비하여 높기 때문에 검붉은 색깔을 나타내는 shoot의 수가 많았다. 3. Shoot의 무기양분 함량은 N, P는 토양처리간에 차이가 없었고 K, Ca, Mg는 모래＋peat moss에 비하여 모래＋peat moss＋soil 처리구에서 많은 것으로 나타났다. 4. 근권부의 가온조절은 한국의 겨울철 기온하에서 한지형 잔디의 생육을 도모하고 겨울철 잔디의 녹색을 유지시킬 수 있을 뿐만 아니라 눈 녹음을 촉진시켜 잔디의 이용률을 증진시킬 수 있는 방안으로 판단된다.

Sorption of phenanthrene (PHE) and pyrene (PYR) in several sorbents, i.e., natural soil, BionSoil^®, Pahokee peat, vermicompost and Devonian Ohio Shale and a surfactant (hexadecyltrimethyl ammonium chloride)-modified montmorillonite (HDTMA-M) were investigated. Pyrene exhibited higher sorption tendency than phenanthrene, as predicted by its higher octanol to water partition coefficient (K_ow). Several sorption models: linear, Freundlich, solubility-normalized Freundlich model, and Polanyi-Manes model (PMM) were used to analyze sorption isotherms. Linear isotherms were observed for natural soil, BionSoil^®, Pahokee peat, vermicompost, while nonlinear Freundlich isotherms fitted for Ohio shale and HDTMA-M. The relationship between sorption model parameters, organic carbon content (f_oc), and elemental C/N ratio was studied. In the binary competitive sorption of phenanthrene and pyrene in natural soil, competition between the solutes caused reduction in the sorption of each solute compared with that in the single-solute system. The ideal adsorbed solution theory (IAST) coupled with the single-solute Freundlich model was not successful in describing the binary competitive sorption equilibria. This was due to the inherent nature of linear sorption of phenanthrene and pyrene in natural soil. The result indicates that the applicability of IAST for the prediction of binary competitive sorption is limited when the sorption isotherms are inherently linear.

Background: Montane wetlands are unique wetland ecosystems with distinct physicochemical characteristics, and Molinia japonica often makes dominant communities in montane wetlands in South Korea. In order to figure out the environmental characteristics of M. japonica habitats and the major factors for the growth of M. japonica, field surveys were conducted in five wetlands from September to October 2019. Also, soil was collected at every quadrats installed in surveyed wetlands to analyze the physicochemical features. Results: The relative coverage of M. japonica was higher in low latitude wetlands than in high latitude. Redundancy analysis showed that soil water content had the strongest effect on the growth of M. japonica (F = 23.0, p < 0.001). Soil water content, loss on ignition, and relative light intensity showed a high correlation with the density (R = 0.568, 0.550, 0.547, respectively, p < 0.01) and the coverage of M. japonica (R = 0.495, 0.385, 0.514, respectively, p < 0.01). Soil water content, loss on ignition, and pH were highly correlated with each other. Conclusions: Molinia japonica lives in acidic wetlands at high altitude in temperate zone of low latitude, with peat layer placed on the floor. Also, M. japonica prefers open spaces to secure enough light for photosynthesis. High shoot production of M. japonica resulted in adding new peat material in every year, and this layer enforces the environmental characteristics of M. japonica habitats. This study may provide insights for further understanding of the method how wetlands maintain acidic condition by itself in montane wetlands in temperate zone.

This study investigated a suitable method that could be applied for Asian chain fern [Woodwardia japonica (L. f.) Sm.] to propagate gametophytes and promote sporophyte formation. The gametophytes used in all experiments were obtained from germinated spores in vitro and were subcultured at 8-week intervals. The most appropriate media for gametophyte propagation was identified by culturing 300 mg of gametophyte in Murashige and Skoog (MS) basal medium (1/8, 1/4, 1/2, 1, 2), and Knop medium for 8 weeks. As a result, fresh weight of the gametophyte was increased by 56.7-fold on MS medium. Moreover, antheridium formation as well as gametophyte growth was improved on MS medium, especially. To improve the sporophyte formation ex vitro, 1.0 g of gametophyte was ground with distilled water and spread on eight combinations onto four different culture mediums, such as bed soil, peat moss, perlite and decomposed granite. Then generation and growth of sporophytes were investigated after cultivation for 10 weeks. As a result of this experiment, peat moss had a promotive effect of sporophyte formation at single-use and mixed culture soils. In particular, a mixture of bed soil, peat moss and perlite in a 1:1:1 ratio (v/v/v) led to the accelerated formation (782.5 ea/pot) and the frond growth of sporophytes. This included increases in length and width of fronds. However, promotive effect of gametophyte growth and sporophyte formation was not found at single-use and treatment with high ratio of bed soil.

Six soil compositions with three seeding rates were evaluated for influence on germination, coverage, height and sod development of Phragmites japonica. 1. Germination was high on peat, vermiculite and bark as compared with on peatmoss and sandy loam. 2. Covering rate was high within 2 months when seeded at 9g/$m^2$, but became same within 3 months afterwards when seeded at 3,6 and 9g/$m^2$, respectively. 3. Sod was highly developed on peat and bark treatments whereas Sandy loam, peatmoss and vermiculite treatments didn't develop sod. 4. Sod grown on bark weighed light and, therefore, was suggested best from a dealing cost point of view. 5. Cutting at 10 cm height didn't influence on sod development regardless of soil compositions.

Food waste (FW) has been recognized as a critical problem in Korea and many research was conducted to efficiently utilize or treat FW. Main purpose of this research was to evaluate a feasibility for producing fermented organic fertilizer with vegetable waste (VW). Three different organic materials (saw dust, coco peat, and waste mushroom media) were mixed with VW at the rate of 30, 40, 50% respectively. Total days of composting experiment were 35 days and each sub samples were collected at every 5 days from starting of composting. Result showed that inner temperature of composting was increased to $60{\pm}4^{\circ}C$ within 5~10 days depending on varied organic materials and mixing ratio. Among different treatment, the highest increase of inner temperature was observed when 30% of saw dust was mixed with VW. After finishing composting experiment, maturity of each compost was evaluated with solvita and germination test. Maturity index (MI) of each treatment was ranged between 5~7 indicating that manufactured fertilizer was curing or finished stage. Calculated germination index (GI) was at the range of 57.83~101.16 depending on organic materials and mixing ratio. Both MI and GI showed that manufactured fertilizer was met for fertilizer criteria while control (VW only) was not adequate for composting. Overall, VW can be utilized for making organic fertilizer mixing with saw dust, coco peat and more research should be conducted to make high quality of organic fertilizer with vegetable waste.

This experiment was designed to assess the physical and chemical properties of growing media substituted with a range of increasing concentrations of pretreated wood and to relate these properties to plant growth responses. For preparing the growing media, each material was combined with rural soil, peat, perlite and pretreated wood. Physicochemical properties studied were similar to ideal substrate ranges for plant growth on growing media, including pretreated wood. Physical properties were also well maintained over time. In comparison to plants growing in 100% rural soil, tall fescue(Festuca arundinacea) in the prepared growing media achieved better growth, especially when using the 50% rural soil + 50% PPW(peat + perlite + pretreated wood, 3:1:6(w/w/w)) and 30% rural soil + 70% PPW (peat + perlite + pretreated wood, 3:1:6(w/w/w)), and showed improved germination percentage. We confirmed the potential use of growing media, including pretreated wood. Furthermore, our results show a correlation among the physicochemical properties of tall fescue(Festuca arundinacea); physical properties were significantly influenced by germination and aerial parts. The root length of physicochemical properties was correlated with bulk density and organic compound (p<0.01).
