Abstract

Stomatal pore is an important physiological trait that is closely linked to photosynthesis and transpiration as carbon dioxide and water vapor move through it between the atmosphere and plants. The present study investigated stomatal traits, such as stomatal density, index and size, of herbaceous native and alien plant species living in a riparian park on the Nakdong River to understand how those traits vary and to know if successful settlement of alien plants is attributed to those traits. There was no difference in stomatal density, index and size between native and alien plants with kidney-shaped stomata, suggesting that an empty ecological niche is not an essential prerequisite for the successful settlement of alien plants. Stomatal density showed a negative correlation with leaf thickness and leaf dry weight content (LMDC), but there was no correlation with Specific leaf area (SLA). All plants with kidney-shaped stomata had amphistomatous leaves, and the density and size of dumbell-shaped stomata were lower than those of kidney-shaped stomata.

식물의 기공은 이산화탄소와 수증기가 대기와 식물 사이를 이동하는 통로로 광합성 및 증산작용과 밀접하게 연관되는 중요한 생리적 기능 형질이다. 본 연구에서는 낙동강변에 서식하는 초본 식물종을 대상으로 자생식물과 외래식물 사이에 기공 형질에 차이가 있는지 조사 분석함으로써 낙동강변 식물 군집 내 기공 형질의 변이 양상을 파악하고, 또한 외래식물이 성공적으로 정착하는 이유를 알아보고자 하였다. 조사 결과, 같은 신장 모양 기공 형태를 가진 외래식물과 자생식물의 경우 기공밀도, 기공지수, 기공크기에 차이가 없었고, 이는 외래식물의 성공적 정착에 비어있는 생태적 지위가 꼭 필요한 것은 아님을 시사하였다. 기공밀도는 잎의 두께와 음의 상관관계를, 잎건조중량(LMDC)과는 양의 상관관계를 보였으며, 잎면적비(SLA)와는 상관관계가 없었다. 신장 모양기공을 가진 식물은 모두 양면기공형 잎을 가지고 있었고, 아령 모양 기공의 밀도 및 크기가 신장 모양 기공보다 작았다.
