Abstract

This study evaluated the drought tolerance of Liriope platyphylla F.T.Wang & T.Tang, Dendranthema zawadskii var. lucidum (Nakai) J.H.Park, Hosta longipes (Franch. & Sav.) Matsum., Sedum sarmentosum Bunge and Zoysia japonica Steud. for an extensive green roof. In order to assess drought tolerance of green roof plants, several criteria were measured such as volumetric water content, leaf and soil moisture potential, chlorophyll a and b, chlorophyll fluorescence, photosynthesis, stomatal conductance, transpiration rate and antioxidants. The results of the drought tolerance measurement of green roof plants focused on the gradually withering of plants from lack of volumetric water content. D. zawadskii was the first to show an initial wilting point, followed by Z. japonica, H. longipes and L. platyphylla in order while S. sarmentosum showed no withering. It was concluded that H. longipes, L. platyphylla and S. sarmentosum were highly drought tolerant plants able to survive over three weeks. Furthermore, chlorophyll a and b were divided into two types: Type I, which kept regular content from the beginning to the middle of the period and suddenly declined, like H. longipes and Z. japonica; and Type II, which showed low content at the beginning, sharply increased at the middle stage and decreased, like D. zawadskii, L. platyphylla and S. sarmentosum. Volumetric water content and the amount of evapotranspiration consistently declined in all plant species. The analysis of chlorophyll fluorescence results that S. sarmentosum, which had relatively high drought tolerance, was the last to decline, while Z. japonica and S. sarmentosum withered after rapid reduction. At first, photosynthesis, stomatal conductance and transpiration rate showed high activity, but they lowered as the plant body closed stomata owing to the decrease in volumetric water content. Measuring antioxidants showed that when drought stress increased, the amount of antioxidants grew as well. However, when high moisture stress was maintained, this compound was continuously consumed. Therefore, the variation of antioxidants was considered possible for use as one of the indicators of drought tolerance evaluation.

본 연구는 저관리 경량형 옥상녹화를 위해 맥문동, 울릉국화, 비비추, 돌나물, 잔디의 내건성을 평가하였다. 옥상녹화 식물의 내건성 평가를 위해 용적수분함량, 엽과 토양의 수분포텐셜, 엽록소 a와 b함량, 엽록소형광, 광합성율, 기공전도도, 증산속도, 항산화물질을 측정하였다. 옥상녹화 식물의 내건성 측정결과, 무관수 일수가 경과하면서 용적수분함량 부족에 따라 식물은 점차 고사하는 경향을 보였다. 울릉국화가 가장 먼저 고사하였으며, 그 다음으로 잔디, 비비추, 맥문동 순이었으며, 돌나물은 고사하지 않았다. 비비추, 맥문동, 돌나물은 3주 이상 생존하여 내건성이 높은 식물로 판단되었다. 엽록소 a와 b는 두 가지 유형이 나타났는데, 초기부터 중기까지 일정한 함량을 유지 후, 급격히 감소하는 I유형에는 비비추, 잔디와 초기에는 낮은 함량을 보이다가 중기 때 급격히 증가 후, 감소하는 II유형에는 울릉국화, 맥문동, 돌나물로 구분되었다. 용적수분함량과 증발산량은 모든 식물 종에서 지속적으로 감소하였으며, 엽록소형광 측정결과, 내건성이 상대적으로 높은 돌나물이 가장 늦게 감소하였고, 잔디와 돌나물은 급격한 감소가 나타난 후 고사하였다. 광합성, 기공전도도, 증산속도는 초기에 높은 활성도가 나타났으나, 용적수분함량의 감소로 인하여 식물체가 기공을 닫아 낮아지는 경향을 보였다. 항산화물질 측정결과, 건조스트레스가 증가하면 항산화물질의 양 또한 증가하나, 높은 스트레스가 유지되면 이러한 화합물이 지속적으로 소비되므로, 항산화물질의 증감은 내건성 평가 지표로 사용할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.
