Abstract

The purpose of this study is to demonstrate the positive effects of artificial ground greening on the reduction of carbon dioxide ($CO_2$) which can help improve ecological functions in cities and mitigation of climate change, through quantifying $CO_2$ uptake and evapotranspiration by the process of photosynthesis of some plants. Experiment of $CO_2$ uptake and evapotranspiration was conducted by measurement of $CO_2$ exchange rate using the infrared gas analyzer, for 7 month, growing season from May to November 2009, 2 times a month. The result was as follows; The $CO_2$ uptake quantity per $cm^2$ of Chrysanthemum zawadskii was the highest rate at $21.47{\times}10^{-6}g/cm^2/s$ and Poa pratensis was $16.20g{\times}10^{-6}g/cm^2/s$. The stronger was light of intensity, the higher were $CO_2$ uptake rate of most plants. In quantity of evapotranspiration, Poa pratensis was the highest rate at $8.75{\times}10^{-5}g/cm^2/s$ and Aquilegia buergariana was $8.66{\times}10^{-5}g/cm^2/s$. From this study, it is confirmed that artificial ground greening has capacity of absorption $CO_2$ and effects on improving urban microclimate.

본 연구는 저토심 옥상녹화에 적용 가능한 초본류 및 지피식물을 중심으로 식물의 광합성작용을 통한 $CO_2$ 흡수량과 증발산량을 정량화하여 도시미기후 관점에서의 옥상녹화식물의 환경성능을 평가하고자 하였다. 이를 위해 옥상녹화용 초본류 7종을 대상으로 적외선 $CO_2$ 가스 분석기에 의한 $CO_2$ 교환 속도 분석을 통해 각 식물의 $CO_2$ 흡수량과 증발산량을 측정하였다. 실험기간은 생장이 활발해지기 시작하는 5월부터 11월까지 매월 2반복 측정하였고, 주변 환경에 예민한 초본류의 특성상, 환경변수가 고정된 실내에서 광도의 변화를 주어 실시하였다. $CO_2$ 흡수량과 증발산량을 산출한 결과 단위엽면적당 $CO_2$ 흡수량은 초본류 중 구절초가 $21.47{\times}10^{-6}g/cm^2/s$, 매발톱꽃이 $12.74\;g{\times}10^{-6}g/cm^2/s$로 높은 흡수율을 보였고, 켄터키블루그래스도 $16.20{\times}10^{-6}g/cm^2/s$로 비교적 높았다. 단위엽면적당 증발산량은 켄터키블루그래스가$8.75{\times}10^{-5}g/cm^2/s$로 가장 많았고, 다음은 매발톱꽃 $8.66{\times}10^{-5}g/cm^2/s$, 구절초 $8.58{\times}10^{-5}g/cm^2/s$ 순으로 나타났다.
