Abstract

It is true that the industrial development has usually been accompanied with urbanization or centralization of population that has inevitably led to high-rise buildings and densely built-up living area in the cities. While it is badly needed to acquire as much green land within the city limits as possible to compensate for reduced space for recreational purpose in parallel with increasingly urbanized area, the living conditions of plants have become seriously devastated due to shortage of sun light walled-off by high-rise buildings and contaminated environment and air. The shade that is generated by high-rise and compact buildings hinders growth of plants, which makes it urgent to develop native ground cover plant that is strongly viable in the shade. For this purpose, Ligularia stenocephala, best known as greens for Ssam (rice and condiments wrapped in leaves) was cultivated under the 30%, 50%, and 80% shadings and observed to see if there would be any changes in soil conditions, growth of plants and chlorophyll contents depending on the shading rate. The leaf number was 10.8 pieces under the 50% shading and 8.4 under the 30%-shading, 7.7 pieces more than that cultivated under lighting. The leaf width turned out to be excellent from cultivation under the 50%- shading, an evidence indicating its possibility of being cultivated as native ground cover plant in the shade. The live weight of the plants cultivated under the shading increased to 31.63 g, 43.39 g and 19.40 g, respectively, compared to 90.43 g of those in the untreated control plot. The increase in growth of roots was particularly significant with 48.48 g in comparison to 12.33 g under 30% shading cultivation. The chlorophyll synthesis amounted to 46.2 under the 50% shading, showing an increase compared to 41.9 under lighting. The chlorophyll synthesis rather shrank under other shading conditions. The cultivation of Ligularia stenocephala under the 50% shading showed the best condition in growth as native ground cover plant.

산업의 발달로 인하여 인구의 도시 집중화 현상 때문에 건물의 고층화 및 생활공간의 밀집화가 되고 있는 실정이다. 또한 휴식을 취할 수 있는 공간이 점차 축소되고 있으며 이러한 원인 때문에 보다 많은 녹지면적이 필요한 실정이다. 그러나 건물의 고층화로 인한 광부족과 환경오염으로 인한 대기의 조건 등이 식물생육에 아주 부적합하다. 특히 건물의 고층화 및 밀집화로 식물 생육에 지장을 주는 음지로 인하여 식물생육에 문제가 되기 때문에 음지에 강한 새로운 조경용 지피식물의 개발이 절실하다. 따라서 쌈채식물로 알려져 있는 곤달비를 30%, 50%, 80%의 차광에 재배를 하여 차광에 따른 토양환경의 변화, 식물생장, 엽록소 함량 등을 조사한 결과 다음과 같았다. 엽수는 50% 차광이 10.8개, 30% 차광이 8.4개로 무차광재배의 7.7개에 비하여 많았으며 엽폭도 50% 차광 재배에서 가장 우수 하여 음지성 지피식물로 식재가능 하였다. 생체중은 무처리구 90.43g에 비하여 모든 차광재배가 각각 31.63g, 43.39g, 19.40g로 증가 하였으며 특히 뿌리의 생육이 줄기의 생육에 비하여 30% 차광재배의 12.33g에 비하여 48.48g으로 많이 증가 하였다. 엽록소 합성은 50% 차광의 경우 46.2로 무차광재배의 41.9에 비하여 증가하였으며 기타 차광재배의 경우는 오히려 줄어드는 경향이었다. 곤달비의 차광재배의 결과 50% 차광처리가 지피식물로서 생육이 가장 양호하였다.
