Abstract

LID 시설에는 물순환 회복과 오염물질 저감을 위해 다양한 종류의 식물이 적용되고 있다. 그러나 겨울철 제설제 살포와 식물의 성장둔화로 인한 급격한 토양 함수량 변화는 식물의 고사 등 문제를 야기시킨다. 따라서 본 연구는 LID 시설에 적용 가능한 8가지 주요 식물을 선정하여 염분에 대한 저항성과 식물의 성장능력, 오염물질 저감능력 및 물순환 회복 등을 평가하기 위하여 수행되었다. 실험에 적용된 식물은 목본류인 조팝나무(S.P), 연산홍(R.I), 메타세콰이어(M.G)와 초본류인 창포(A.C), 하늘매발톱(A.F), 메리골드(T.L), 패랭이(D.C)와 애기별꽃(P.B)이 선정되었다. 식물의 성장은 조팝나무(S.P), 연산홍(R.I), 메타세콰이어(M.G)와 같은 목본류가 초본류에 비하여 성장률이 높은 것으로 나타났다. 염분에 의한 내성은 목본류에서는 메타세콰이어(M.G)>조팝나무(S.P)>연산홍(R.I) 순으로 나타났으며, 초본류에서는 메리골드(T.L)=패랭이(D.C)>창포(A.C)>애기별꽃(P.B)>하늘매발톱(A.F) 순으로 조사되었다. 대부분의 식물에서 염분에 의한 영향과는 상관없이 TN과 TP 저감효율이 60% 이상으로 높게 나타났으며, 메타세콰이어(M.G)가 높은 성장에 기인한 활발한 광합성과 호흡의 영향으로 높은 오염물질 제거능력과 물순환 능력을 보였다. In LID facilities treating stormwater runoff, various kinds of plants are applied for water circulation recovery and pollutant reduction. However, rapid changes of soil moisture due to the use of porous media and spread of deicing material during winter season cause slow plant growth that detrimentally leads to many problems including death of plants. Therefore, this study was performed to evaluate the salt resistance of plants, its effects on pollutants removal, and water circulation recovery. Eight different kinds of plants applicable to an LID facility were selected for the experiment, which were Bridal wreath (Spiraea japonica, S.J), Azalea (Rhododendron indicum, R.I), Dawn Redwood (Metasequoia glyptostroboides, M.G), Sweet flag (Acorus calamus A.C), Dwarf fan-shape columbine(Aquilegia flabellata, A.F), Pink (Dianthus chinensis, D.C), Pratia pedunculata (Pratia pedunculata, P.B) and Marigold (Tagetes patula, T.P). Woody plants such as S.P, R.I, and M.G appear to have less salt resistance compared to the other herbaceous plants. Specifically, M.G achieved the highest salt resistance among the other woody plants being followed by S.P, and R.I, respectively. For herbaceous plants, T.L and D.C have the higher salt resistances than that of A.C, P.B, and A.F, respectively. Regardless of the influence of salt to most of the plants, TN and TP were reduced more than 60% and the study suggests the M.G showed high pollutant removal efficiency and provided better water circulation by means of active photosynthesis and respiration due to higher growth.
