This study was carried out to suggest an experimental base in selecting the drought resistance of plants. Adopting the natural drought method, this paper studies the drought resistance of 12 kinds of ground cover plants. focusing on analyzing the changes of relative water content on leaf, relative electric conductivity and chlorophyll content in 12 kinds of plants, and and the relation between soil water content under drought stress. The drought resistance of the plants were subject to laboratory and rooftop drought resistance treatments. The Logistic model of nonlinear regression analysis was used to evaluate the lethal time that were predicted with the range of 10.4~30.1d on roof top, and 19.5~39.0d on hothouse. The result shows that with the increase of stress time, relative water content and chlorophyll content on leaf were in a downward trend; the relative electric conductivity was upward tendency. Among 12 species of ground cover plants, exclude Pulsatilla koreana, Ainsliaea acerifolia were selected for rooftop plants because they showed resist drought strongly and took adaptive ability.

Ultrasonic mist fogger and the fan were used for investigating the availability of fog circulation system in greenwall and the potential growing ability of the plant. The mist caused by ultrasonic mist fogger was circulated by the fan through the pipeline and supplied to the pots containing plants. Moisture content of the 3 different soils was measured at different irrigation time points. The moisture content of 15-26% in PP and Co soil was maintained at irrigation of 24H, 18H, 12H in a day. Proper growth condition was found in Ardisia pusilla and Hosta plantaginea at the height of L level after 1 month of growth when the plants were irrigated by the fog circulation system. The results suggest that the fog circulation, by ultrasonic mist fogger to the green walls is system of choice for suppling moisture to plants.

This study investigates Youl Chon Industrial Complex 1 by dividing into three regions : the drainage site, the area inside the complex, and the seaside. Then each region was subdivided into three areas resulting in a total of nine areas for soil sampling and analysis. After analyzing the physical and chemical properties of the soil, all nine area's pH and EC readings indicated that the soil condition is not suitable for vegetation growth (according to the previous study, the pH level was 5.8 and EC was 2.0dS/m). Therefore, for Youl Chon Industrial Complex 1 to become green, the neutralization and reduction of pH and EC level is needed; first, vegetation through dredging soil, and second, introduction of halophytes is suggested. This study finds out that vertical changes in physical and chemical properties of soils in reclaimed sites are very variable and the result depends on surrounding environments, so it suggested the basic data for building vegetation or reclaimed sites. However, the additional study aiming at various reclaimed sites is required as this study was conducted only to limited areas, and this study has left monitoring analysis as the follow-up task to check the relations between a plant community and soils.
