Abstract
In this study, uptake and toxicity of disel (TPH) by poplar specie, $P.\;nigra{\times}P.\;maximowiczii$ were assessed in laboratory soil column experiments. Poplar cuttings were grown for 2 months and exposed to various concentration (0, 200, 500, 1000, 2000 mg/kg) of disel for a period of 60 days. For disel removal experiments, disel was effectively removed in the range of lower concentration. but, the removal rate of disel was rapidly decreased as increasing initial disel concentrations. For the this reason, toxicity effetcs were evaluated by measuring in poplar cutting mass variation and monitoring transpiration. Exposure on higher disel concentration resulted in decrease of biomass and transpiration accompanied by chlorosis and abscission, indicating toxic effect of disel on the poplar tree. And also, we have observed that both removal efficiency of disel and the microbial activity were higher at the bottom of the soil column. It was suggested that the plant formed the root zone at contaminated soil, stimulated microbial activity by plant root exudates, and played an important role in enhanced biodegradation of disel.

본 연구에서는 국내에 자생하는 포플러나무중 양황철을 대상으로 토양칼럼에서의 디젤(TPH) 제거 특성 및 식물체에 미치는 독성효과를 평가하였다. 포플러 삽목은 2달간 생장시킨 후 본 실험에 이용되었으며, 다양한 디젤농도(0, 200, 500, 1000, 2000 mg/kg)를 대상으로 60여 일간 진행되었다. 양황철에 의한 디젤 제거 실험에서 낮은 디젤농도에서는 효과적인 처리가 관찰된 반면, 농도가 증가할수록 처리효율은 급격하게 감소하였다. 또한 뿌리생장이 활발한 토양칼럼 하부에서의 처리효율이 상대적으로 높았다. 그리고 양황철 생장과 증산량을 비교하여 디젤의 양황철에 미치는 독성효과의 여부를 검토하였다. 실험기간동안 양황철의 황백화 현상, 뿌리생장 저하, 증산량 감소 현상 등이 관찰 되었다. 또한 토양칼럼 깊이별 측정한 미생물 활성도 결과는 뿌리 생장이 많은 토양 칼럼 하부와 영양염류 및 디젤 분해미생물을 추가로 주입해준 경우가 높았다. 이러한 식물의 정화효과는 근권에 있는 토양미생물에 유용한 뿌리 분비물을 지속적으로 제공함으로써 미생물의 활발한 번식 및 분해활동이 더욱 촉진되는 것으로 보인다.
