To analyze the changes of soil physico-chemical properties after reclamation, we carried out an experiment for 75 samples of representative saline soils in South Korea. The more the years after reclamation is proceeded, the blighter the soil color is, soil horizon differentiation and structure is developed, but electrical conductivity(EC) decreased. After the soil survey, coarse textured soils were more quickly de-salined than the fine textured soils. In case of fine loamy textured Poseung series, it could be estimated that the series had Salic horizons in sub-order level of taxonomical classification. In other case of coarse loamy textured soil series, it could be estimated that the series had Sodic properties in sub-group level. Sodium contents of fine loamy textured soils were not decreased after reclamation, but those of coarse loamy textured Gwanghwal series reclaimed about 76 years ago were reclassified because of desalinization. To be desalined low to 4 dSm-1 of EC, it presumably takes about 108, or 12 years for fine loamy and coarse loamy textured soils, respectively.

This study was crried out in order to changes of soil salinity in the Kyehwa saline paddy soil from 1978 find out the to 1988. Surveyed soil was Munpo, Gwanghwal, Yeompo, Hasa series and distribution ratio of those area was 51.2%, 16.6 %, 30.2 %, 1.0 % respectively on the 2,500ha. In the cultivated field, the ratio of desalinization was increased in accordance with rice cultivating years but desalization was not conduct after six years in the uncultivated field. Soil salinity of Summer(during cultivation) and Fall(after cultivation) were 52.3 %, 62.5 % respectively as compare with Spring(before cultivating) and about changes of soil salinity according to different soil depth, underground layer 20-40cm and 40-60cm were raised the rate 28.4 % and 66.2 % in accordance with top soil.

This study was conducted to establish the optimum seeding rate in different soil salinity level for yield stability of broadcasting on flooded paddy surface to the reclaimed saline land of south-western part at Gyehwado substation of the Honam Agricultural Research institute in $2003{\sim}2004$. Soeganbyeo was tested in the Munpo series (fine sand loam) the results obtained is as follows: As seeding rate was higher, the number of seeding stand was increased and the number of seeding stands in the low salinity field is sharply increased than those of the medium salinity field. The length of culm in medium salinity field tends to be shorter than that of the low salinity field and as seeding rate was increased, the lodging is severe. The milled rice yield was increased as up to 9 kg/10a in low and medium salinity soil. Complete rice was no significantly increased over 5 kg/10a seeding rate in low salinity field and over 7 kg/10a seeding rate in medium salinity field. Considering the yield of milled and complete rice, seeding stand and lodging, The proper seeding rate is $5{\sim}7kg/10a$ in low salinity and $7{\sim}9kg/10a$ in medium salinity for broadcasting on flooded paddy surface at the reclaimed saline land of southwestern part.

This study was carried out to analyze physico-chemical properties of soils at the ground of landscape planting in reclaimed land from the sea on Kwangyang Bay, South Korea. Physico-chemical properties of soils at each planting grounds were tested by ANOVA and were significantly(P<0.01) different. The difference came from the soil properties of the covered soil, the disturbance applied to the soil with land use and the accumulation of organic matter after landscape planting. Soil hardness, pH, ECe, Na and K level were in a stable condition at high then low of ground height for landscape planting. Organic matter accumulation was greater at lower planting grounds then top and slope ground of big mounding. The planting grounds of favorable growth for landscape trees were determined as following order : the slope ground and the top ground of big mounding>the ground of medium mounding>the coved ground of improve soil>the lower ground of big mounding>the filled ground of improve soil.

Chenges in respiration of the soils collected from the reclaimed tidal soil in Chogi-ri, Kanghwa Island and treated with organic matters are presented. The measurement of the respiration for the smaples, which were incubated for 0,2,4 and 5 weeks, were carried out by using Warburg's respirometer. While the respirations of the samples added by organic matters were increased 6.7 - 28.0 times compared with that 0 week during the incubation in case of 5-year soil, the respiration in case of 3-year soil were increased 3.3-11.8 times. Thus, the effect of adding organic matters on the respiration of the experimented soils, as this indicates, was much higher for the soil of 5-year area than that of 30-year area. And for the organic matters Salicornia was most effective and then Suaeda and Oryzae. The samples treated with Salicornia and Suaeda showed their highest respiration rate at the 4th week, but the one with Oryzae was measured to increase progressively during 5 weeks experimented. Regarding the salinity, content of organic matters and number of bacteria, in each intact soil experimented, 5-year soil samples had much poor habitat then 30-year soil for the activity of soil microorganisms, but according to the result mentioned above, it is firmly believed that the addition of organic matters on the saline soil is one of the best means to change the reclaimed tidal land into arable land with less time duration.

To investigate the solute pattern of salt marsh plants in Suncheon Bay in Korea, plants and soil samples were collected at three sites from July to September 2011. The soil pH around the investigated species was weakly alkaline, 6.9-8.1. The total ion and Cl- content of site 1 gradually increased, while those of site 2 and site 3 were lowest in August and highest in September. The exchangeable $Ca^{2+}$, $Mg^{2+}$ and $K^+$ in the soil were relatively constant during the study period, but the soil exchangeable $Na^+$ content was variable. Carex scabrifolia and Phragmites communis had constant leaf water content and very high concentrations of soluble carbohydrates during the study period. However, Suaeda malacosperma and S. japonica had high leaf water content and constant very low soluble carbohydrate concentrations. Carex scabrifolia accumulated similar amounts of $Na^+$ and $K^+$ ions in its leaves. Phragmites communis contained a high concentration of $K^+$ ions. Suada japonica and S. malacosperma had more $Na^+$ and $Cl^-$ ions than $K^+$ ions in their leaves. Suaeda japonica had higher levels of glycine betaine in its leaves under saline conditions than C. scabrifolia and P. communis. Consequently, the physiological characteristics of salt marsh chenopodiaceous plants (S. japonica and S. malacosperma) were the high storage capacity for inorganic ions (especially alkali cations and chloride) and accumulation of glycine betaine, but monocotyledonous plant species (C. scabrifolia and P. communis) showed high $K^+$concentrations, efficient regulation of ionic uptake, and accumulation of soluble carbohydrates. These characteristics might enable salt marsh plants to grow in saline habitats.
