Classification of Soil Series in the Saemangeum Reclaimed Agricultural Tide Land

The soil which was confirmed by using auger with intervals of 200 m at a depth of 1 m in Agricultural tide landSection 5 had a somewhat poorly drainage and coarse loamy. The Gwangpo series has coarse loamy texturewith a somewhat poorly drainage in Fluvio-marine plains, but confirmed soil had different characteristics withthe Gwangpo series Our objective of in this study was to set a new soil series by comparing to the Gwangposeries. Both the Gwangpo and A-Gwangpo serieses showed the similar horizons (A, B and C horizons), texture(coarse loamy), and chemical properties. A somewhat poorly drainage in general Gwangpo series causedmainly grayish color and 2 - 20% of the mottle’s distribution (by oxidation) within 20 - 50 cm depth. An oursoils, the mottle’s distribution was investigated by 2 - 20% and 20 - 49% in the Gwangpo and A-Gwangposeries, respectively. Gwangpo series is somewhat poorly drained and has a small amount of mottle (byoxidation) quantity, so it is used as a paddy field. But the A-Gwangpo series is estimated that it can be used asa field soil with an amount of 20 - 49% of mottle (by oxidation) quantity. KCI Citation Count: 1
