During the summer season, more than half of the annual precipitation in Korea occurs during the summer season due to the geographical location in the Asian monsoon belt. So, this causes severe soil erosion from croplands, which is directly linked to the deterioration of crop/land productivity and surface water quality. Therefore, much attention has been given to develop accurate estimation tools of soil erosion. The aim of this study is to assess the performance of using the empirical Universal Soil Loss Equation (USLE) and the physical-based model of the Water Erosion Prediction Project (WEPP) to quantify eroded amount of soil from agricultural fields. Input data files, including climate, soil, slope, and cropping management, were modified to fit into Korean conditions. Chuncheon (forest) and Jeonju (level-plain) were selected as two Korean cities with different topographic characteristics for model analysis. The results of this current study indicated that better soil erosion prediction can be achieved using the WEPP model since it has better power to illustrate a higher degree of spatial variability than USLE in topography, precipitation, soils, and crop management practices. These present findings are expected to contribute to the development of the environmental assessment program as well as the conservation of the agricultural environment in Korea.

This study was conducted to construct the soil bin system and associated microcomputer-based data acquisition system which is to be used for the effective evaluation of wheel performance. The soil bin system consists of four main parts; soil bin, carriage drive system, test carriage and soil processing carriage. The test carriage was constructed to measure the five performance parameters of testing wheels; pulling forte, motion resistance, sinkage and rotational speed of test wheel, and speed of test carriage. The test wheel is powered by a hydraulic system up to 8 ps. Soil processing carriage was designed to provide uniform test soil condition across the toil bin, and reproduction of soil conditions found satisfiable. The data acquisition system consists of APPLE II PLUS microcomputer, strain amplifier, I/O interface, A/D converter, digital counter and various transducers. It takes about 0.86 seconds to measure a set of performance parameters and store on the floppy disk simultaneously. Series of experiment showed that this system can be used effectively for evaluating the wheel performance associated with soil.

Soil erosion in North Korea has been continued to accelerate by deterioration of topographical conditions. However, few studies have been conducted to predict the amount of soil loss in North Korea due to limited data so far. Rainfall erosivity is an important factor to predict the amount of long-term annual soil loss by USLE (universal soil loss equation). The purpose of this study is to investigate rainfall erosivity, which presented the potential risk of soil erosion by water, in North Korea. Annual rainfall erosivities for 27 stations in North Korea for 1983~2010 were calculated using regression models based on modified Institute of Agricultural Sciences (IAS) index in this study. The result showed that annual average rainfall erosivity in North Korea ranged from 2,249 to 7,526 and averaged value was $4,947MJmm\;ha^{-1}\;hr^{-1}\;yr^{-1}$, which corresponded to about 70% of annual average rainfall erosivity in South Korea. The finding was that the potential risk of soil erosion in North Korea has been accelerated by the increase of rainfall erosivity since the late 1990s.

The Ministry of Construction and Transportation (MOCT) has been constructing a nationwide soil information DB since 2000, as basic data for the construction of 'underground geographical information,' a project under the 2nd National Geo-spatial Information System (NGIS) master plan. The inputted soil information includes not only underground conditions such as the layer depth, type, color, and groundwater level, but also engineering information that can be applied to construction work design, such as on the standard penetration test and the compression test. It is difficult to use this information in soil analysis and design, however, because only the test results are currently available. A web-based geo-spatial information system was developed in this study to facilitate the effective application of the soil information database (DB). First, the space information, layer information, and engineering test information were loaded from the soil information DB in real time, and the earth volume, bearing capacity, and settlement were calculated to develop a web client that will evaluate the ground softness and liquefaction. It seems that the soil information DB can be actively applied to the planning and design of construction works using this system.

강우에 의해서 발생하는 토양유실은 비옥한 표토를 유실시켜 생산성의 저하를 초래하고, 유실된 토양입자는 하천이나 호수, 댐 등에 퇴적되어 저수용량의 감소와 수질관리에 어려움을 야기 시키므로 이에 대한 대처가 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 위성 영상과 GIS 기법을 활용하여 유역내 토양침식에 영향을 미치는 토양조건, 피복조건, 지형조건들을 추출하고 이 요소들을 범용토양유실공식(USLE; Universal Soil Loss Equation)에 적용하여 유입퇴적량 및 유입 가능성이 높은 위치를 파악하였다. 또한 유입되어 하상에 쌓여 있는 퇴적량은 투과성이 강한 음향측심기를 활용하여 퇴적층과 지층의 고도 정보를 획득하여 산정하고 유실량과 퇴적량을 비교하여 퇴적되는 비율을 도출하였다.

Optimal range of soil physical quality to enhance crop productivity or to improve environmental health is still in dispute for the upland soil. We hypothesized that the optimal range might be established by comparing soil physical parameters and their interactions inhibiting crop growth. The parameter identifying optimal range covered favorable conditions of aeration, permeability and root extension. To establish soil physical standard two experiments were conducted as follows; 1) investigating interactions of bulk density and aeration porosity in the laboratory test and 2) determining effects of soil compaction and deep & conventional tillage on physical properties and crop growth in the field test. The crops were Perilla frutescens, Zea mays L., Solanum tuberosum L. and Secale cereael. The saturated hydraulic conductivity, bulk density from the root depth, root growth and stem length were obtained. Higher bulk density showed lower aeration porosity and hydraulic conductivity, and finer texture had lower threshold bulk density at 10% aeration bulk density. Reduced crop growth by subsoil compaction was higher in silt clay loam compared to other textures. Loam soil had better physical improvement in deep rotary tillage plot. Combined with results of the present studies, the soil physical quality was possibly assessed by bulk density index. Threshold subsoil bulk density as the upper value were $1.55Mg\;m^{-3}$ in sandy loam, $1.50Mg\;m^{-3}$ in loam and $1.45Mg\;m^{-3}$ in silty clay loam for optimal soil physical quality in upland.

Numerical stability analysis of an unsaturated infinite slope under rainfall-induced infiltration conditions was performed using generalized effective stress to unify both saturated and unsaturated conditions The soil-water characteristic curve (SWCC) of sand with a relative density of 75% was initially measured for both drying and wetting processes. The hydraulic conductivity function (HCF) and suction stress characteristic curve (SSCC) were subsequently estimated. Under the rainfall-induced infiltration conditions, transient seepage analysis of an unsaturated infinite slope was performed using the finite element analysis program, SEEP/W. Based on these results, the stability of an unsaturated infinite slope under rainfall-induced infiltration conditions was examined in relation to suction stress. According to the results, the negative pore-water pressure and water content within the slope soil changed over time due to the infiltration. In addition, the variation of the negative pore-water pressure and water content led to a variation in suction stress and a subsequent change in the slope's factor of safety during the rainfall period.

While searching for healthier diets, people became more attentive to agricultural organic products. However, organic foods may be more susceptible to microbiological contamination because of the use of livestock manure compost and liquid manure, potential sources of pathogenic bacteria. This study was undertaken to investigate the persistence of Salmonella enterica, Escherichia coli O157:H7, and Listeria monocytogenes in soil, liquid manure amended soil, and liquid manure. Loamy soil, liquid manure amended soil, and liquid manure were inoculated with S. enterica, E. coli O157:H7, and L. monocytogenes. Samples were incubated in consistent moisture content at $25^{\circ}C$. Samples had been periodically collected during 120 days depending on the given conditions. S. enterica and E. coli O157:H7 survived over 120 days in loamy soil and over 60 days in liquid manure amended soil, respectively. L. monocytogenes decreased faster than other pathogens in soil. S. enterica, E. coli O157:H7, and L. monocytogenes survived for up to 5 days in liquid manure. S. enterica and E. coli O157:H7 in soil decreased by 2 to $2.5log\;CFU\;g^{-1}$ for 120 days. S. enterica and E. coli O157:H7 in liquid manure amended soil decreased slowly for 21 days. However, S. enterica, E. coli O157:H7, and L. monocytogenes sharply decreased after 21 days. S. enterica, E. coli O157:H7, and L. monocytogenes in soil increased by 0.5 to $1.0log\;CFU\;g^{-1}$ for 7 days. Foodborne pathogens in soil and liquid manure amended soil gradually decreased over time.

본 연구는 불포화 풍화토별 강우지속시간 및 비강우시간에 따른 강우침투속도 관계를 파악하기 위하여 국내에서 산사태 발생빈도가 높은 선캠브리아기 편마암 풍화토와 백악기 화강암 풍화토를 대상으로 불포화 풍화토 칼럼시험을 하였다. 본 연구에서는 일정시간 간격으로 체적함수비를 측정하기 위하여 함수비 측정 TDR센서를 이용하였다. 강우강도 조건은 20 mm/h로 선정하여 연속강우와 반복강우를 재현하였으며, 반복강우의 경우 강우시간과 비강우시간을 조절하였다. 그리고 흙의 단위중량 조건은 편마암 풍화토의 경우 현장 건조단위중량보다 낮고 칼럼상부유출이 일어나지 않는 1.35 $g/cm^3$, 화강암 풍화토의 경우 현장 건조단위중량인 1.21 $g/cm^3$로 선정하였다. 편마암 풍화토와 화강암 풍화토 총 강우량 200 mm인 조건에서 $2.090{\times}10^{-3}{\sim}2.854{\times}10^{-3}$ cm/s와 $1.692{\times}10^{-3}{\sim}2.012{\times}10^{-3}$ cm/s로 총 강우량 100 mm에서의 $1.309{\times}10^{-3}{\sim}1.871{\times}10^{-3}$ cm/s와 $1.175{\times}10^{-3}{\sim}1.581{\times}10^{-3}$ cm/s보다 강우침투속도가 빠르게 나타났다. 이는 동일 시간당 토층 내 주입되는 물의 양이 200 mm조건에서 100 mm조건보다 많기 때문이다. 완전 건조 상태의 강우침투속도와 강우가 반복되어 물을 함유하고 있는 상태의 강우 재침투속도를 비교해 보면, 편마암 풍화토와 화강암 풍화토의 최초 강우침투속도인 $1.309{\times}10^{-3}{\sim}2.854{\times}10^{-3}$ cm/s와 $1.175{\times}10^{-3}{\sim}2.012{\times}10^{-3}$ cm/s보다 강우 재침투속도가 $1.307{\times}10^{-2}{\sim}1.718{\times}10^{-2}$ cm/s와 $1.789{\times}10^{-2}{\sim}2.070{\times}10^{-2}$ cm/s로 높게 나타났다. 이는 토층 내 공기의 함입량이 줄어들어서 불포화 투수계수에 영향을 미치는 흡입력(matric suction)이 감소한 것이 원인으로 생각된다.
