Although multi-layer planting methods are more widely used as a method for clustered planting and environmental programs such as plant remediation, difficulties have been faced in applying those to planting design. This study develops a basic planting model that can be applied to multi-layer planting in basis on an analysis of forest structures in the Seoul area. An optimal number of clusters was determined through the ISA (Indicator Species Analysis), and 7 basic clusters were found through a cluster analysis by using PC ORD 4.0 software specifically developed for ecological analysis. The 7 basic clusters include the following communities: the Quercus acutissima Community, Sorbus alnifolia-Quercus mongolica Community, Pinus rigida-Pinus densifiora Community, Rododendron mucronulatum var. mucronulatum-Quercus mongolica Community, Juniperus rigida-Quercus mongolica Community, Rododendron mucronulatum var. mucronulatum-Pinus densiflora Community, and Rododendron sclippenbachii-Quercus mongolica Community. The study also selected 57 species with at least a 10% frequency among the plant species existing in the Seoul area and suggested both a companion species and available similar alternative species by conducting an additional interspecific association analysis. This study may help to enhance usefulness of the model in architectural planting design. In addition, the two results named above were synthesized to develop a multi-layer planting model that can be utilized in landscape planting design by selecting similar alternative species through the interspecific association analysis, which includes 7 clusters of natural plants. The multi-layer planting model can be widely applied to design planting because the model has an average target cover range based on the average value of a transformed likelihood.

This study attempted to investigate drain capacity and vegetation potential of made-planting soil via finite element simulations. Engineering drain capacity of made-planting soil can be evaluated by an analysis of unsaturated soils. In a perspective for vegetation landscape, it is necessary to check whether the minimum amount of water in the made-planting soil can be supplied for the survival of plants. Herein, 1-m high soil column covered by made-planting soil were numerically simulated. Numerical results showed that how the coefficient of permeability of saturated soil and soil-water characteristics of unsaturated soil are considered significantly influences the drain capacity of soils. Variation in the volumetric water content within the Least Limiting Water Range (LLWR) provides us with information on whether the soil can contain a sufficient amount of water for the plants to survive the drought.

The purpose of this study is to find out how land cover and planting of an urban park influence temperature. Field research on the land cover and planting status was conducted for Bundang Central Park in Sungnam-si. 30 study plots in the site were selected to closely analyze land cover type and planting structure. The temperature was measured 10 times for each plot. Land coverage type, planting type, planting layer structure and green space area (the ratio of green coverage, GVZ) were chosen as factors impacting temperature and statistics were analyzed for the actual temperature measured. Analysis on how the land coverage type influences temperature showed that planting site had a low temperature and that grassland and paved land had a high temperature. When it comes to planting type, the temperature at the land planted with conifers and broad-leaved trees was low, while the temperature at grassland and paved land was high. With regard to planting layer structure, canopy and canopy-underplanting type showed low temperature, while grassland and paved land showed high temperature. An analysis on the relation between green space area and temperature found out that both ratio of green coverage and GVZ had a high level of negative correlation with the temperature measured. According to regression model of green space area and the temperature measured, for every 1% increase in the ratio of green coverage, temperature is expected to lower by $0.002^{\circ}C$. Also, for every $1m^3/m^2$ increase in GVZ, temperature is expected to go down by $0.122^{\circ}C$.

도시화로 인해 불투수층의 증가는 강우시 유출을 증가시켜 물순환을 왜곡시키고 다양한 오염물질을 수계로 배출시켜 수질악화 및 수생태계를 훼손시킨다. 이러한 환경 수문학적 문제를 해결하기 위하여 침투, 여과, 저류 등의 물리적 기작, 식생 및 토양의 생물학적 기작을 이용한 LID 기술을 적용하고 있다. LID 시설에 적용되는 식물은 심미적, 경관성을 증대시켜주나, 다량의 오염물질이 유입될 경우 일부 식물의 고사를 유발한다. 따라서 본 연구는 LID 시설내 식물 체내 중금속 농도를 파악하고자 수행하였다. 본 연구는 지붕 강우유출수를 처리를 위해 설치된 LID 시설(침투화분) 모니터링 대상 지점으로 선정하였으며, 패랭이(Dianthus chinensis)와 조팝나무(Spiraea fritschiana)가 식재되어있다. LID 시설 내 식재된 식물과의 비교를 위해 패랭이와 조팝나무가 식재된 화단을 각각 대조군으로 선정하였다. 패랭이는 잎과 뿌리, 조팝나무는 줄기와 잔가지로 구분하여 체내 중금속 함량에 대해 분석을 수행하였다. 중금속 분석은 토질오염공정시험기준에 의해 Fe, Ni, Zn, As를 분석하였다. 연구결과, LID 시설에 적용된 식생과 대조군 식생의 체내 Fe 농도는 패랭이(1176.9~3804.6mg/kg), 조팝나무(218.4~342.5mg/kg)이며, Ni의 경우 패랭이(13.3~21.4mg/kg), 조팝나무(7.2~12.5mg/kg) Zn은 패랭이(33.6~160.5mg/kg), 조팝나무(46.1~243.2mg/kg), As는 패랭이(7.3~37.3mg/kg), 조팝나무(1.9~8.7mg/kg)로 대조군에 비해 유사하거나 높은 값을 보이는 것으로 분석되었다. 또한, LID 시설에 식재된 조팝나무는 대조군에 비해 줄기는 약 26배, 잔가지 19배 이상 높은 농도를 보이는 것으로 나타났으나, 중금속 농도의 차이는 식물의 중금속 흡수 혹은 토양의 중금속 흡착능력이 토양의 종류, 특성에 따라 다를 수 있기 때문에 모니터링 환경에 따라 편차가 존재할 것으로 판단된다.

This study was carried out to draw up the planting plan of bridge type ecological corridor for animals migration at Hakgogae(ridge) destroyed by road construction in Yongin, Gyeonggi-do, South Korea. It was conducted with two steps, survey and planting master plan. We surveyed the structure of topography, plant community, and animal habitat. We also selected the target species migrate ecological corridor and suggested a concept of each planting area, the planting species, and the planting density based on the analyzed data and finally drew up the planting plan. The structure of topography was a steep slope due to the mountain ridge destruction so the bridge type ecological corridor was could be applied in this study and we supposed that the animals migrate along the both edge of corridor. As the results of analyzed plant community structure in two sides, the dominant woody species, Quercus serrata and Q. variabilis were distributed on the bottom and the belly of a mountain, while Pinus densiflora community was distributed on the mountain ridge as edaphic climax. The similarity between Q. serrata -Q. mongolica -Q. variabilis community on the West of survey site and Q. serrata -Q. mongolica community on the East of survey site was high in 71.0 percentages. As the results of surveying birds and some mammalia, seven species and fifty-seven individuals of birds were founded in survey area, and two species and two individuals of rodents were founded. We selected birds and some mammals for the migration species that supposed to migrate ecological corridor in drawing up the planting plan. And then we divided the planting areas into bird corridor and habitat, and mammals corridor, also suggested the planting areas in detail as follows: community planting area of shrub at slope adjacent to the bridge exit as a buffer zone, screen planting area, community planting area of herb at steep slope connected with mountain areas, inducement planting area of the animals, community planting area for bird migration, community planting area for mammals migration, and community planting area for bird habitat. We selected the planting woody species which were the constancy ratio based on the analyzed data of plant community around mountain areas was high, and suggested the planting master plan each space.

This study focuses on the reconstruction of buffer greens which were installed to reduce environmental effects on roadsides constructed in the 1980s, in order to supplement various urban green functions. The subjects were buffer greens installed along the Songpadaero and Nambusunwhanro in Songpa-gu. Planting was suggesting to strengthen the buffer, landscape, shading and ecological function according to the use of the buffer green surroundings. The surroundings of the green axis subjects are high-rise apartment areas, neighboring commercial areas, commercial working areas, transportation facility areas, urban support facility areas, schools, parks, etc. However, the structure of the buffer greens were uniformed with Plantanus occidentalis and Ginkgo biloba and Zelkova serrata in the canopy layer and with Forsythia koreana and Ligustrum obtusifoliumin the shrub layer in lineal or alternate order, functioning only as buffer space. Therefore, the buffer greens need to be reconstructed， supplementing various functions according to land use, in order to improve the pedestrian walk area in terms of landscape and use of greens. In line with that, the planting improvement plans according to the land use patterns, and physical and ecological structure were classified into buffer and landscape, landscape and buffer, buffer and shading, and buffer and ecological function. In addition, improving planting function, species and facilities are suggested.

The purpose of this study was to analyze the characteristics of plant covering in the extensive green roof site. Eighteen herbaceous perennial grass such as Caryopteris incara and sedum species such as Sedum Kamtschaticum were planted on an experimental green roof with 10cm substrate depth in 2007. This study investigated vegetation change over 3 growing seasons 2007-2009. The covering rates of planted species mostly increased in 2008, but declined in 2009 except 6 species such as sedum specis and Thymus quinquecostatus var. japonica etc. There were four categories of covering characteristics generated from the results of this study. These include the type of sustain planting site, the type of encroach adjacent site, the type of creeps and spreads, and the type of scatters and spreads. The covering models of eight planted species were drawn by simple regression analysis. However more monitoring of various plants will be needed to establish the information for sustainable roof planting plan.

The growth of trees planted through transplantation rapidly decreases immediately after planting due to extreme disturbances such as root cutting and crown damage. Although the growth rate is recovered as time elapses, the time required to restore the original growth varies by species. Therefore, it is necessary to set an appropriate tree management period for survival after transplantation by analyzing each species' annual growth change. In this study, we analyzed the growth amount of deciduous broad-leaf species planted in the area where the riparian ecological belt was formed and proposed the management period based on the results. Slowed growth immediately after planting is a common phenomenon due to root cutting and pruning, the pre-works performed to increase tree survival rate during the transplantation process. Afterward, the original growth rate is recovered as time passes, but the time required may vary depending on the species and planting environment. Most of the trees showed a rapid decrease in growth immediately after transplantation. After that, although it is different for each species, most of them showed a gradual recovery from 2 years onwards. The analysis of the growth rate by tree species confirmed that it took 2 to 4 years, depending on the tree species, to recover the growth level before transplantation after a rapid decrease in growth immediately after transplantation. The results suggest that improving the defect rate of planted trees is necessary to meet the project objectives: ecological restoration and pollutant reduction. It requires setting a tree management period of at least two years and creating an appropriate base environment.
