Abstract
The purpose of this study is conducted to examine the change of flora and fauna in the extensive rooftop green area from 2005 to 2009. The experimental site is on the rooftop green area of Seoul Women's University which was constructed in 2005. This research was consisted of four parts: soil, potted plants, invading plants and small animals especially insects. The plants were surveyed by enumeration, while animals were surveyed by two methods which are 'Netting and Searching' and 'Pit fall trap'. The initial group of plants planted in 2005 was 100 species of 26 families whereas in 2009 there were 62 species of 23 families including 22 invading species of 11 families. In case of insects in 2009, 21 species of 7 families (9 orders) were detected; 19 species of 15 families (8 orders) were discovered by 'Netting and Searching' and 5 species of 5 families (5 orders) by 'Pit fall trap'.
