산성배수 비탈면의 중화층 종류에 따른 녹화 효과를 알아보고자 9개의 실험구 [대조구: "무처리층+식생층 3 cm", 실험1구: "무처리층+식생층 5 cm", 실험2구: "무처리층+식생층 7 cm", 실험3구: "중화층(cement 3 %)+식생층(cement 1 %) 3 cm", 실험4구: "중화층(cement 3 %)+식생층(cement 1 %) 5 cm", 실험5구: "중화층(cement 3 %) + 식생층(cement 1 %) 7cm", 실험6구: "중화층[$(Ca{\cdot}Mg)CO_3$]+식생층 3 cm", 실험7구: "중화층[$(Ca{\cdot}Mg)CO_3$]+식생층 5 cm", 실험8구: "중화층[$(Ca{\cdot}Mg)CO_3$]+식생층 7 cm"]를 조성하였다. 중화층 종류에 따른 표면경도 및 함수율의 유의차이는 없었으나 두께에 따른 함수율의 차이는 있었다. 토양산도(pH)는 중화제를 처리하지 않은 실험구(대조구, 실험1구, 실험2구)에서 높게 나타났고, 시멘트를 배합한 실험구(실험3구, 실험4구, 실험5구)와 석회고토를 배합한 실험구(실험6구, 실험7구, 실험8구)에서 중화효과가 크게 나타났다. 식물생육 특성은 지면피복율, 목본류 발아개체수 및 수고, 식물 뿌리상태 등이 시멘트를 배합한 실험구 및 석회고토를 배합한 실험구에서 우수했으나 시멘트를 배합한 실험구는 초기 식물 뿌리생장에 좋지 못한 결과가 나타나 주의가 요구된다. 또한, 산성배수 비탈면의 중화층 두께에 따른 차이는 없었으며 경제성을 고려할 때 3~5 cm가 적정할 것으로 판단된다.
This study is composed of nine treatments [Control : "no neutralizing layer+vegetation layer" 3 cm, Treatment 1 : "no neutralizing layer+vegetation layer" 5 cm, Treatment 2 : "no neutralizing layer+vegetation layer" 7 cm, Treatment 3 :"neutralizing layer (cement 3 %)+ vegetation layer (cement 1 %)" 3 cm, Treatment 4 : "neutralizing layer (cement 3 %)+vegetation layer (cement 1 %)" 5 cm, Treatment 5 : "neutralizing layer (cement 3 %)+vegetation layer (cement 1 %)" 7 cm, Treatment 6 : "neutralizing layer [$(Ca{\cdot}Mg)CO_3$] +vegetation layer" 3 cm, Treatment 7 : "neutralizing layer [$(Ca{\cdot}Mg)CO_3$]+vegetation layer" 5 cm, Treatment 8 : "neutralizing layer [$(Ca{\cdot}Mg)CO_3$]+vegetation layer" 7 cm] to find out the vegetation effects according to neutralizing layer types of the acid drainage slope. There were no significant differences observed in soil hardness and soil moisture content of neutralizing layer type while highly difference of moisture content was observed according to the neutralizing and vegetation layer thickness. As for soil acidity, strong acid was shown in the control, treatment 1 and treatment 2. Neutralizing effects were outstanding in treatments of 3, 4, 5 (cement treatment group), 6, 7 and 8 (limestone treatment group). Concerning plants growth characteristics, surface coverage rates, number of germinating woody plants, plant height, and plant root status, there were excellent effects observed in the experimental groups mixed with cement (treatments 3, 4 and 5) and limestone (treatments 6, 7 and 8). At the initial stage, however, plant roots were negatively affected in cement layer treatments of 3, 4 and 5. However, no difference was shown in each layer thickness on the acid drainage slope whereas 3~5 cm thickness neutralizing layer was appropriate in consideration of economic feasibility.
