Abstract

This study was carried out to investigate the plant growth of several Carex L. plants according to light intensity and soil depth planted on a green wall and roof, and to show basic data for the use of Carex L. plants in various forms. The temperature was dropt more in the green container compared to the normal especially during the genial weather from August to September. The plant growth of Carex testaceae, Carex oshimensis Evergold, and Carex ciliatomarginata Nakai was excellent at light intensity from 0 to $1799\;{\mu}M{\cdot}m^{-2}{\cdot}s^{-1}$, and that of Carex siderosticta Hance, Carex flagellifera Bronzita, Carex ornithopoda Variegata, and Carex morrowii Ice Dance were best in lower light intensity from 0 to $786\;{\mu}M{\cdot}m^{-2}{\cdot}s^{-1}$. The leaf color of the plants changed vividly as the light intensity grew lower and the visible value of the plants increased. There must be more considerations about the pattern changes in additory experiments. The water content in the soil depth of 10 cm was maintained higher than the other treatments because of no drainage layer. Most Carex L. plants grew excellent in the soil depth of 10 cm. However, Carex oshimensis Evergold, Carex siderosticta Hance, and Carex testaceae showed the best plant growth in soil depth 20 cm, and Carex morrowii Ice Dance and Carex ciliatomarginata Nakai in soil depth of 40 cm. Therefore, Carex L. plants could be recommended as materials for green roof because they also grew well in light soil depth of 10~20 cm.

본 연구에서는 벽면녹화시스템에 식재된 사초류의 방위(광도)에 따른 생육반응 및 옥상녹화시스템에 식재된 사초류의 토양깊이에 따른 생육차이 등을 조사하고자 하였으며, 사초류가 다양한 형태로 활용될 수 있도록 기초적인 자료들을 제시하고자 하였다. 벽면녹화 및 일반컨테이너의 온도변화를 비교한 결과, 벽면녹화의 경우 온도가 낮아지는 것을 알 수 있었고, 주로 화창한 날씨가 유지된 8~9월 동안에 차이가 뚜렷하였다. 테스타시아사초, 에버골드 및 털대사초 등은 높은 광도에서 생육이 우수하고($0{\sim}1799{\mu}M{\cdot}m^{-2}{\cdot}s^{-1}$), 상록갈사초, 줄무늬사초, 대사초 및 흰줄무늬실사초는 낮은 광도에 적합한 것으로 판단되었다($0{\sim}786{\mu}M{\cdot}m^{-2}{\cdot}s^{-1}$). 광도가 낮을수록 식물의 색이 선명해져 관상가치가 증가하였는데, 본 연구에서는 무늬의 변화에 대한 고려가 이루어지지 않아 추가적인 연구가 이루어져야 할 것으로 사료되었다. 토양깊이별 수분함량은 10cm의 경우 배수층 없이 혼합용토로만 이루어져 높게 유지되는 것으로 나타났고, 대부분의 사초류들도 10cm 깊이에서 생육이 좋았다. 에버골드, 대사초 및 테사타시아사초등은 토양깊이 20cm에서 생육이 우수하였다. 흰줄무늬실사초와 털대사초 노란무늬종은 토양깊이 40cm에서 생육이 좋은 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구에서는 사초류가 10~20cm의 낮은 토심에서도 생육이 우수하여 옥상녹화 소재로 충분히 도입 가능할 것으로 판단되었다.
