It is well known that uncertainty associated with soil sampling is bigger than that with analysis. In this research, uncertainties for soil sampling when assessing TPH and BTEX concentration in soils were quantified based on actual field data. It is almost impossible to assess exact contamination of the site regardless how carefully devised for sampling. Uncertainties associated with sample reduction for further chemical analysis were quantified approximately 10 times larger than those associated with core sampling on site. Bigger uncertainties occur when contamination level is low, sample quantity is small, and soil particle is coarse. To minimize the uncertainties on field, homogenization of soil sample is necessary and its procedures are proposed in this research as well.

The measurement based on reliable standard operating procedures (SOPs) is important for consistent information. The objective of this study is to investigate reliable SOPs of soil physical methods, including core method for bulk density, Yamanaka hardness, and air permeameter method for air permeability. The coefficients of variation in bulk density (core method), Yamanaka hardness, and air permeability were ranged of 1~6%, 8~13%, and 10~84%, respectively. The variation in situ measurement such as bulk density, hardness, and air permeability due to spatial variability at measuring site was larger due to the number of replicates, organic matter content, and soil texture. Nevertheless, air permeability had different values as different number of replicates, and thus, it is thought that more replicates can result in higher reliability. It suggested that investigation of soil physical properties for the target sites should required to consider about soil texture, organic matter content, and number of replications before measurement. In conclusion, core sampling for bulk density measurement in upland soil recommended to perform in 3 repetitions with 2 inch core, and 3 inch core sampling for higher organic matter content.

본 연구는 기존의 토양 코어 시료 채취기 (double-cylinder hammer-driven soil core sampler)를 개량하여 원하는 토양 깊이에서 자연상태의 토양 코어 시료를 쉽고 편리하게 채취하여 운반, 보관할 수 있는 새로운 도구를 제시하기 위하여 수행되었다. 본 연구에서 제시된 도구와 이전에 일반적으로 사용되던 채취기와의 차이점은 1) 해머가 본체로부터 분리되고, 2) 내부 실린더가 2개로 분할되며, 3) 플라스틱 시료 보관통을 사용하도록 한 것 등이다. 본 도구는 적습한 산림토양을 대상으로 이용하는 것이 효과적이며, 해머 사용 전에 토양 시료의 압축을 줄이기 위하여 시료 채취기를 가능한 손으로 깊게 토양에 삽입한 후 해머 작업을 실시하는 것이 바람직할 것으로 생각된다. 본 도구는 채취된 토양 층위와 부피가 원래 토양과 같은 상태로 유지되는 깊이 40cm, 직경 5cm의 코어 시료 채취에 적합한 것으로 판단된다.

Diverse bacteria are known to colonize plants. However, only a small fraction of that diversity has been evaluated for their biopesticide potential. To date, the criteria for sampling and selection in such bioprospecting endeavors have not been systematically evaluated in terms of the relative amount of diversity they provide for analysis. The present study aimed to enhance the success of bioprospecting efforts by increasing the diversity while removing the genotypic redundancy often present in large collections of bacteria. We developed a multivariate sampling and marker-based selection strategy that significantly increase the diversity of bacteria recovered from plants. In doing so, we quantified the effects of varying sampling intensity, media composition, incubation conditions, plant species, and soil source on the diversity of recovered isolates. Subsequent sequencing and high-throughput phenotypic analyses of a small fraction of the collected isolates revealed that this approach led to the recovery of over a dozen rare and, to date, poorly characterized genera of plant-associated bacteria with significant biopesticide activities. Overall, the sampling and selection approach described led to an approximately 5-fold improvement in efficiency and the recovery of several novel strains of bacteria with significant biopesticide potential.

본 연구는 소나무 임분을 대상으로 토양 코어 샘플링과 미니라이조트론 방법을 이용하여 세근의 분포를 파악하고, 미니라이조트론 자료를 세근 바이오매스로 환산할 수 있는 변환계수와 회귀식을 개발하는 목적으로 수행되었다. 토양 코어 샘플링은 2012년 10월부터 2013년 9월까지 겨울을 제외하고 매월 1회씩 총 9회 실시하여 세근 바이오매스를 측정하였고, 미니라이조트론을 이용하여 2013년 5월부터 8월까지 매월 1회씩 총 4회 세근 표면적을 측정하였다. 0-30 cm 토양 깊이에서 세근 바이오매스와 표면적은 지표에 가까울수록 유의하게 높았으며, 계절별 바이오매스($kg{\cdot}ha^{-1}$)는 여름(3,762.4)과 봄(3,398.0)에 가을(2,551.6)보다 유의하게 높은 값을 보였다. 이와 같은 토양 깊이별 분포는 토양의 양분, 용적밀도 그리고 온도 등의 차이 때문으로 사료되며, 계절적 경향은 대기 온도 및 토양 온도변화에 의해 나타나는 것으로 보인다. 또한 토양 깊이별 세근 표면적과 바이오매스 사이의 변환계수를 구하고, 이를 통하여 미니라이조트론 자료를 환산한 세근 바이오매스와 토양 코어 샘플링 자료인 실측값 사이의 선형회귀식(y = 79.7 + 0.93x, $R^2=0.81$)을 개발하였다. 본 연구에서 개발된 변환계수 및 회귀식은 추후 국내 소나무림의 장기적인 세근 동태를 추정하는데 활용될 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

Soil seed banks as natural storage of plant seeds play an important role in the maintenance and regeneration of watershed. Natural regeneration potential of the soil seed bank of Land use types (LUTs) in Ogun River watershed (ORW) was investigated. ORW was stratified using proportionate sampling technique into Guinea Savannah (GS), Rainforest (RF) and Swamp Forest (SF) Ecological Zones (EZs). Three LUTs: Natural Forest (NF), Disturbed Forest (DF) and Farmland (FL) were purposively selected in GS: GSNF, GSDF, GSFL; RF: RFNF, RFDF, RFFL and SF: SFNF, SFDF, SFFL, respectively. Systematic line transects was used in the laying of the sample plots. Sample plots of 25 m×25 m were established in alternate positions. Ten 1 m×1 m quadrats were randomly laid for soil core sampling from previously randomly selected ten plots. The core samples (10) were pooled per plot in each LUT and placed in individual trays. Ten trays with sterilized soil were used as control. The trays were watered regularly and checked for seedlings emergence fortnightly for 18 months. The experimental design used was 3×3 factorial experiments. ANOVA, Diversity index (H') and Similarity index (SI) were used to analyze the data. There was significant difference in seedling emergence among ecological zones and land use types (p<0.05). A total of 4,400 seedlings emerged from the soil samples. All species were distributed among 32 families. FL in the RF had the highest number of germinated seeds (705±37.33 seedlings) followed by DF in the RF (701±49.6 seedlings). The lowest emergence was in NF of the SF (199±28.41 seedlings). DF in the RF had highest number of species (34) distributed among 22 families. Emergence from soil seed bank of NF in ORW was generally with more of tree species than herbs that were predominant in FL and DF.

본 연구에서는 Cosmic-ray 토양수분량 관측시스템 구축 시 필요한 검증 네트워크 설계 기법 개발에 목적을 두고 유전율식(dielectric constant) 장비인 Frequency Domain Reflectometry (FDR)와 연계하여 Cosmic-ray 검증시스템을 구축 운영하였다. Cosmic-ray 검증시스템 평가에 필요한 시범지역은 기존 계측 장비와의 연계성과 다양한 수문자료의 활용성을 고려하여 설마천 유역에 구축하였다. 시범지역은 Cosmic-ray 장비와 FDR 센서(10개소)로 구축하였으며 2018년 7월부터 현재까지 운영되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 검증시스템의 신뢰도를 높이기 위해 코어법(soil core sampling method)을 통해 산출한 용적수분함량(volumetric water content)을 유전율식 장비와 정기적으로 검증하였다. 연구기간 중 수행한 코어법과 FDR 센서를 검증한 결과, 두 자료의 통계량이 $bias=-0.03m^3/m^3$과 $RMSE=0.03m^3/m^3$의 유의한 값을 보였다. 또한 연구기간 동안 FDR 센서의 시계열 특성은 모든 강우에 정상적으로 반응하였다. 그러나 일부 지점에서는 낙엽 및 캐노피의 차단과 상부사면의 유출 등으로 인해 상이한 특성을 보였다. Cosmic-ray 영향원(influence line) 내 FDR 센서의 대표성 분석은 시간 안정성 해석법(temporal stability analysis, TSA)을 이용하여 토심별(10 cm, 20 cm, 30 cm, 40 cm)로 분석하였다. 10개소에 대한 토심별 토양수분량의 대표성을 TSA로 분석한 결과, 토심 10 cm에서는 FDR 5, 토심 20 cm에서는 FDR 8, 토심 30 cm에서는 FDR 2, 토심 40 cm에서는 FDR 1에서 가장 우수한 대표 특성을 보였다. 본 연구의 시범지역 운영 기간이 짧다는 한계는 있지만 지금까지의 분석 결과를 토대로 하여 볼 때, Cosmic-ray 관측시스템 구축 시에는 검증 장비로는 유전율식을 활용하고, Cosmic-ray 영향원 내 토양수분량의 대표성 분석은 TSA 방법으로 수행하는 것이 바람직할 것으로 판단된다.

The physico-chemical properties of agricultural soil are factors that affect crop productivity and soil fertility. In Korea, agricultural environment change surveys have been conducted every four years since 1999. The purpose of this study is to investigate the status and changes in the physico-chemical properties of agricultural soil in Chungcheongnam-do. Samples were collected from the exact location of the aforementioned environment survey, and environmental variables (land use, type of crop cultivated) were investigated in relation to the samples. Soil collection was conducted using a core sampler and a single gouge auger. The bulk density of the soil generally increased up to a depth of sampling of 40 cm but decreased thereafter to a depth of 60 cm. Additionally, the bulk density was highest in the upland soil case and stood at 1.59 g·cm^-3, while the lowest value of 1.52 g·cm^-3 was obtained from orchard soil samples. Conversely, the porosity and moisture gradually decreased at soil depths of 0 - 40 cm and increased at depths of 40 - 60 cm. Most of the soil chemical properties generally decreased with an increase the soil depth from 0 to 70 cm, but electrical conductivity (EC) increased up to a depth of 40 cm. Therefore, it is judged that it is necessary to lower the bulk density by supplying organic matter for agricultural land in Chungcheongnam-do.

중장비를 이용한 임목생산작업은 산림 내 토양교란을 유발하며, 산림토양은 토양침식에 취약한 구조를 가지게 된다. 임목생산방법 및 장비에 따라 토양교란 유형 및 토성 변화 정도는 다르게 나타난다. 따라서 이 연구에서는 국내에서 이루어지고 있는 우드그랩을 이용한 단목생산방법과 스윙야더를 이용한 전목생산방법에 따른 토양교란 영향을 평가하였다. 이를 위하여 토양교란 유형은 시각적 평가방법을 이용하여 분류하였으며, 교란 유형에 따른 토양의 물리성 변화는 토양시료캔에 의한 샘플링 방법을 이용하였다. 단목과 전목생산작업지에서 관찰된 극심한 교란(deep disturbance)과 토양답압(compacted) 유형은 각각 48%와 23%로 나타났다. 또한, 임목생산작업에 따른 토양의 물리성 변화는 중장비 차량이 통행한 곳에서 차이가 발생하였다. 반면 차량 통행과 관련 없는 토양교란 유형에서는 임목수확작업 전 후의 토양의 용적밀도 및 공극률은 통계적으로 차이가 없었다. 이 연구를 통해 산림 내에서 중장비의 통행으로 인하여 주로 토양 교란 및 훼손이 발생함을 알 수 있었다.

Intermediate Geomaterials (IGMs) are natural formation materials that exhibit the engineering behavior (strength and compressibility) between soils and rocks. The engineering behavior of such material is highly unpredictable as the IGMs are stiffer than soils and weaker/softer than rocks. Further, the characterization of such material needs exposure to both soil and rock mechanics. In most conventional designs of geotechnical structures, the engineering properties of the IGMs are either aligned with soils or rocks, and this assumption may end up either in an over-conservative design or under-conservative design. Hence, many researchers have attempted to evaluate its actual engineering properties through laboratory tests. However, the test results are partially reliable due to the poor core recovery of IGMs and the possible sample disturbance. Subsequently, in-situ tests have been used in recent years to evaluate the engineering properties of IGMs. However, the respective in-situ test finds its limitations while exploring IGMs with different geological formations at deeper depths with the constraints of sampling. Standard Penetration Test (SPT) is the strength-based index test that is often used to explore IGMs. Moreover, it was also observed that the coefficient of variation of the design parameters (which represents the uncertainties in the design parameters) of IGMs is relatively high, and also the studies on the probabilistic characterization of IGMs are limited compared with soils and rocks. With this perspective, the present article reviews the laboratory and in-situ tests used to characterize the IGMs and explores the shear strength variation based on their geological origin.
