Chalaropsis pruni sp. nov. (Ceratocystidaceae), a new species from Prunus serrulata var. pubescens in South Korea

A routine survey in a natural forest located in the Gangwon Province of Korea was undertaken in 2022 to establish an inventory of potentially pathogenic fungi that might affect tree health in the country. An ophiostomatoid fungus was consistently isolated from naturally occurring wounds on Prunus serrulata var. pubescens. Isolates were subjected to morphological and DNA sequence comparisons. The results showed that the fungus resided in a distinct taxonomic lineage, and the novel species is described here as Chalaropsis pruni sp. nov.

Dynamic Characteristics of Soil Respiration in Park Green Spaces in Qingdao City

Urban green spaces play an essential role in maintaining the carbon cycle and mitigating climate change in urban ecosystems. In order to gain more carbon sinks from urban green ecosystems, it is essential to determine the carbon sequestration statuses and soil respiration rates of dominant green spaces, especially park green spaces. However, in comparison to natural ecosystems, the dynamic characteristics of soil respiration in artificial park green spaces remain unclear. This study investigated the soil respiration rates for three forest communities (dominated by Prunus serrulata var. lannesiana, Cedrus deodara, Ginkgo biloba, respectively), a shrub community (dominated by Aucuba japonica var. variegata) and a lawn community (dominated by Poa pratensis) in the Qingdao Olympic Sculpture and Culture Park. We used the CRIAS-3 portable photosynthesis system in combination with the SRC-1 soil respiration chamber to measure the soil respiration rate from July 2022 to June 2023 and analyzed the dynamic variations in the soil respiration rate for these specific plant communities. Our results showed that the diurnal variation in soil respiration presented a unimodal curve for the five plant communities, and it peaked at midday or in the early afternoon. They also exhibited a significant seasonal difference in the soil respiration rate, which was characterized by higher rates in summer and lower rates in winter. The lawn community exhibited significantly higher soil respiration rates compared to the woody plant community. The mean annual soil respiration rate (RS) was, respectively, 2.88 ± 0.49 µmol·m−2·s−1, 1.94 ± 0.31 µmol·m−2·s−1, 1.43 ± 0.21 µmol·m−2·s−1, 1.24 ± 0.14 µmol·m−2·s−1 and 1.05 ± 0.11 µmol·m−2·s−1 for the lawn community, Ginkgo biloba community, Prunus serrulata var. lannesiana community, shrub community and Cedrus deodara community. The soil temperature at a 10 cm depth (T10) accounted for 67.39–86.76% of the variation in the soil respiration rate, while the soil volumetric water content at a 5 cm depth (W5) accounted for 9.29–44.01% of the variation for the five plant communities. The explained variance for both T10 and W5 ranged from 67.8% to 87.6% for the five plant communities. The Q10 values for the five different communities ranged from 1.97 to 2.75. Based on these findings, this paper concludes that the factors influencing the soil respiration process in urban green spaces are more complicated in comparison to natural ecosystems, and it is essential to comprehensively analyze these driving factors and key controlling factors of soil respiration across urban green spaces in future studies.

Dust Retention Effect of Greenery in Typical Urban Traffic Landscapes of Nanjing—In the Case of Xuanwu Avenue in Nanjing City

With the accelerated process of urbanization, air pollution has become increasingly severe. Garden plants can trap atmospheric particulate matter, which is of great significance for improving the urban ecological environment and promoting sustainable development. To investigate the dust retention effect of typical transportation green spaces in Nanjing, this study focuses on thirteen garden plants on Xuanwu Avenue in Nanjing. The dust retention capacity of these plants was determined using the wash-off method, while the microstructure of their leaf surfaces was observed using scanning electron microscopy. The results are as follows: Firstly, per unit leaf area, Liriope spicata, Ophiopogon japonicus, and Viburnum odoratissimum demonstrate solid dust retention abilities. Additionally, Viburnum odoratissimum, Prunus serrulata var. Lannesiana, and Liriope spicata show strong dust retention abilities per single leaf. Moreover, Platanus acerifolia, Viburnum odoratissimum, and Cinnamomum camphora have strong dust retention abilities per plant. Viburnum odoratissimum, Platanus acerifolia, and Prunus serrulata var. Lannesiana exhibit the most substantial dust retention capacities. Secondly, there is a significant negative correlation between dust retention per plant and the potassium content, while a significant positive correlation is observed with plant height, canopy height, and leaf width. Furthermore, there is a highly significant positive correlation between dust retention per unit leaf area and stomatal length and a highly significant negative correlation with leaf length. The surface microstructure of the blade mainly increases the dust retention capacity of the blade by increasing the friction of the leaf surface. Lastly, specific leaf surface microstructures, such as grooved epidermis and trichomes, enhance plants’ dust retention capacity. Consequently, for the future configuration of road green spaces in Nanjing, a mixed planting mode of trees, shrubs, and grass is recommended. Priority should be given to selecting plants with strong overall dust retention capabilities, such as Platanus acerifolia, Viburnum odoratissimum, and Prunus serrulata var. Lannesiana, to alleviate air pollution, improve the urban ecological environment, and achieve sustainable development.

Nutrient stoichiometric and resorption characteristics of the petals of four common urban greening Rosaceae tree species.

Nutrient resorption efficiency and stoichiometric ratios are important strategies for understanding plants. The present study examined whether or not the nutrient resorption process of plant petals is similar to that of leaves and other vegetative organs, as well as the nutrient restriction status of the whole flowering process of plants in urban ecosystems. Four Rosaceae tree species, Prunus yedoensis Matsum, Prunus serrulata var. lannesiana, Malus micromalus Makino, and Prunus cerasifera 'Atropurpurea', were selected as urban greening species to analyze the contents of C, N, P, and K elements in the petals and their stoichiometric ratios and nutrient resorption efficiencies. The results show interspecific differences in nutrient contents, stoichiometric ratios, and nutrient resorption efficiency of the fresh petals and petal litter of the four Rosaceae species. The nutrient resorption process was similar to that of the leaves before the petals fell. The nutrient contents of petals were higher than that of leaves at the global level, but the stoichiometric ratio and nutrient resorption efficiency of petals were lower. According to the "relative resorption hypothesis", N was limiting during the entire flowering period. The nutrient resorption efficiency of petals was positively correlated with nutrient variation. The correlation between the nutrient resorption efficiency of petals with nutrient content and stoichiometric ratio of petal litter was stronger. The experimental results provide scientific basis and theoretical support for the selection, scientific maintenance and fertilization management of Rosaceae tree species in urban greening.

변산반도국립공원 꽝꽝나무군락의 생태적 특성

In order to preserve and restore the habitats of Ilex crenata community distributed in Byeonsanbando National Park, the ecological characteristics of flora and major vegetation were investigated centered on the community distribution area. A total of 36 taxa with 22 families, 21 genera, 32 species, and 4 variants, were investigated in the vicinity of the Ilex crenata community. At close distances centered on the area around the Ilex crenata community, the vegetation was found to be a mountain coniferous forest called Pinus densiflora-Quercus serrata community(35° 39′ 18.62″ north latitude, 126° 34′ 56.70 east longitude), at an elevation of 85m to 95m above sea level, an inclination of 10° to 15°, and clustered around the south and southwest slopes. In the Tree-1 layer, there are Pinus densiflora, Quercus serrata, Quercus variabilis, and Prunus serrulata var. pubescens. In the Tree-2 layer, there are Quercus serrata, Quercus variabilis, Prunus serrulata var. pubescens, Styrax japonicus, and Acer pseudo-sieboldianum. In the Shrub layer, there are Ilex crenata, Rhododendron mucronulatum, Lespedeza maximowiczii, Fraxinus sieboldiana, Smilax china, Lindera obtusiloba, Fraxinus rhynchophylla, Rhododendron schlippenbachii, Lindera glauca, Juniperus rigida var. rigida. In the past, before the Buam Dam was built, the surrounding area was a rice paddy field and farmland, but after the Buam Dam was completed, due to changes in the climatic environment, such as fog and humidity, which occurred around the Buan Dam, It is predicted that changes in species composition within the community will appear as the blooming of Quercus serrata increases in the Tree-1 layer and Tree-2 layer, as Fraxinus sieboldiana, Fraxinus rhynchophylla, Lindera obtusiloba, etc. appear in the shrub layer, and Sasa borealis Indigofera kirilowii, Carex lanceolata, and Fraxinus sieboldiana, etc. appear in the herb layer. The distribution area of Ilex crenata community was measured to be 384㎡, the height of Ilex crenata was in the range of 2.2 to 2.5m, and the diameter of the rhizome of Ilex crenata community was Ø48.5mm+39.4mm+46.9mm+37.3mm, It is considered to be in good growth condition due to the stable management and protection of the colony area. In addition, as it is expected that Ilex crenata community will gradually spread as a constituent species of the shrub layer and the herbaceous layer in the pine and Ilex crenata community communities near the native habitats of the black oak community, a detailed investigation into these areas and monitoring for continuous conservation and restoration are needed in the future.

Species Diversity and Carbon Sequestration Oxygen Release Capacity of Dominant Communities in the Hancang River Basin, China

Plants play an important role in the storage of organic carbon as a carbon reservoir, mainly reflected in the absorption of carbon dioxide and the release of oxygen by plants through photosynthesis, which plays an important role in regulating regional carbon balance. This study aimed to explore the pattern of dominant vegetation species diversity in small basin ecosystems, analyze the photosynthetic carbon sequestration characteristics of dominant vegetation and its carbon sink potential, and use the Hancang River Basin as the research area to obtain species abundance data using the sampling method. The community characteristics were analyzed from the aspects of species richness, α diversity index, dominant population spatial pattern, and interspecific correlation. Fifteen typical plants were selected; the photosynthetic carbon sequestration capacity of the plants was measured and quantified, and the correlation of the nitrogen ecological measurement characteristics of the leaves were analyzed. The results showed that all 15 dominant vegetation types were clustered, and the aggregation intensity and interspecific correlation were closely related. Spearman’s analysis showed that the dominant vegetation community structure and diversity in the Hancang River Basin were unstable, and there may be strong interspecies competition and frequent species replacement in the future succession process. The daily trend of the net photosynthetic rate of dominant vegetation tended to be bimodal or nearly bimodal, and the peak generally appeared at 10:00 or 14:00. The leaf area index of the dominant species was greater than 3.0, of which the largest was Platanus acerifolia at 5.31. The smallest was Hemerocallis fulva (L.) L., which was 1.16. The average carbon sequestration per unit leaf area and unit land area of the dominant species was 10.02 g·m−2·d−1 and 42.35 g·m−2·d−1, respectively, and the average oxygen release was 7.29 g·m−2·d−1 and 30.8 g·m−2·d−1, respectively. The average maintenance breathing volume of the leaves was 2.94 μmol CO2 m−2s−1. Comprehensive analysis of the ecological restoration process of the Hancang River Basin should focus on Platanus acerifolia, Prunus serrulata var. lannesiana, Prunus cerasifera, Ligustrum lucidum, and other highly efficient carbon sequestration plants, to carry out rational planting and to build a multilayer composite configuration of forest shrub and grass models to improve the ecological problems of the basin.

Study on Volatile Organic Compounds of Tree Species and the Influence on Ozone and Secondary Organic Aerosol

Biogenic volatile organic compounds (BVOCs) which offer high reactivity are important precursors for the formation of ozone (O3) and secondary organic aerosols (SOA), then leading to air pollution. In order to explore the potential correlation between BVOCs and O3 and SOA, and to screen out better tree species for urban greening, in this paper, 32 tree species were selected to carry out related experiments. The results showed that: hydrocarbons, alcohols, and aldehydes were significantly correlated with SOA generation, and ketone, ester, hydrocarbons and alcohols also showed significant relationship with O3. Analyzed by UPGMA cluster, Ailanthus altissima, Acer truncatum, Rhus typhina, Prunus cerasifera f. atropurpurea, Prunus persica f. Duplex and Cerasus serrulata var. lannesiana were found weak correlation with O3 and SOA generation, while Salix matsudana, Populus tomentosa and Salix matsudana f pendula were strongly related.

Outdoor infrared imaging for spatial and temporal thermography: A case study of necrotic versus healthy leaf areas on woody plants

AbstractThe temperature of plants can be measured using infrared (IR) thermography. Despite the extensive use of IR imaging indoors, outdoor IR imaging is uncommon. We used IR imaging to compare leaf temperatures between necrotic spots and healthy areas of oriental cherry (Prunus serrulata var. spontanea), Japanese cornel (Cornus officinalis) and sawtooth oak (Quercus acutissima) in the field. There was a significant difference in the mean leaf temperatures between the necrotic spots (26.4°C) and healthy areas (25.6°C) of oriental cherry (p = .01). The mean temperatures in the necrotic spots of Japanese cornel and sawtooth oak leaves were 22.3°C and 29.6°C, respectively, which were not significantly different from the mean temperatures of the healthy areas. A consecutive, 2‐day temporal leaf analysis in October 2018 revealed that the temperatures in the necrotic spots were generally higher than those in the healthy areas of the three species. The temperature difference between the spots and healthy areas (up to 1.4°C) was more pronounced at 13:00 hr in all three species on both days. These results reveal differences in the spatial and temporal thermal state across the necrotic spotted leaves. There is potential for use of outdoor IR imaging to visualize the response of trees to pathogen infection and abiotic stress.

X‐ray computed tomography of severed root wounds of Prunus serrulata and Zelkova serrata

AbstractThe performance of laboratory X‐ray computed tomography (XCT) for the non‐destructive imaging of root wood was evaluated. Lateral roots of oriental cherry (Prunus serrulata var. spontanea) and Japanese zelkova (Zelkova serrata) were severed in spring and maintained in soil for 6 months. Without sectioning, XCT revealed the phloem, xylem and vascular cambium structures in the root wood. A virtual transverse section showed a ring of woundwood covering the severed, lateral root of the two trees. Different levels of X‐ray absorption were evident around the cut surfaces of P. serrulata; however, they were rarely detected in Z. serrata. More adventitious roots were observed on Z. serrata than on P. serrulata. Distinct white spots in the rays were only detected in Z. serrata. These results suggest that XCT has potential applications in forest pathology, providing virtual sections of wound closure, wood density distribution, organ redifferentiation, and mineral deposition in root wood.

The complete chloroplast genome of Prunus conradinae (Rosaceae), a wild flowering cherry from China

Prunus conradinae is a flowering cherry species with high ornamental value. In this study, the complete chloroplast (cp) genome of P. conradinae was obtained using a genome skimming approach. The cp genome was 158,019 bp long, with a large single-copy region of 85,910 bp and a small single-copy region of 19,247 bp separated by two inverted repeats of 26,431 bp. It encodes 130 genes, including 85 protein-coding genes, 37 tRNA genes, and eight ribosomal RNA genes. The phylogenetic analysis indicated that P. conradinae is closely related to the congeners P. maximowiczii, P. takesimensis, P. speciosa, P. serrulata var. spontanea, P. discoidea, and P. matuurai.

Multiple Lines of Evidence for Independent Origin of Wild and Cultivated Flowering Cherry (Prunus yedoensis).

As with many other ornamental and cultivated plants that have been under human selection and cultivation for a long time, it has been a major challenge to trace back the complex evolutionary history of flowering cherry, Prunus yedoensis. This challenge has been further amplified by great morphological similarities, little molecular divergence, frequent natural and artificial hybridization, and poor documentation of breeding history among cultivated and wild flowering cherries. The origin and taxonomic distinction between wild P. yedoensis from Jeju Island, Korea, and one of the most popular cultivated flowering cherries, P. × yedoensis “Somei-yoshino” has been a controversy for the past few decades. We sampled many areas extensively, and using four different molecular markers we provided evidence for their independent origin. Wild P. yedoensis in Korea originated from multiple bidirectional hybridization events between two sympatric species, P. spachiana f. ascendens as the maternal species and P. serrulata var. spontanea/P. serrulata var. quelpaertensis as the most probable paternal species. On the contrary, our results supported a single artificial hybrid origin of P. × yedoensis “Somei-yoshino” from cultivated P. spachiana f. ascendens as the maternal species and P. speciosa, a species endemic to Izu Islands, as the paternal species. Based on extensive sampling, we provided strong evidence that wild and cultivated P. yedoensis are distinct taxonomic entities that have originated from different evolutionary processes. A potential for the development of new cultivars from wild P. yedoensis and conservation of diverse germplasms in situ insular setting and ex situ should be explored in the future.

Prunus serrulata var. spontanea inhibits mast cell activation and mast cell-mediated anaphylaxis.

A promising approach to treat a variety of diseases are considered as complementary and alternative herbal medicines. Prunus serrulata var. spontanea L. (Rosaceae) is used as herbal medicine to treat allergic diseases according to the Donguibogam, a tradition medical book of the Joseon Dynasty in Korea. We prepared the aqueous extract of the bark of P. serrulata (AEBPS) and aimed to investigate the effects in mouse anaphylaxis models and various types of mast cells, including RBL-2H3, primary cultured peritoneal and bone marrow-derived mast cells. We used ovalbumin (OVA)-induced active systemic anaphylaxis (ASA) and immunoglobulin (Ig) E-mediated passive cutaneous anaphylaxis (PCA) models, in vivo. The control drug dexamethasone (10mg/kg) was used to compare the effectiveness of AEBPS (1-100mg/kg). In vitro, IgE-stimulated mast cells were used to confirm the role of AEBPS (1-100μg/mL). For statistical analyses, p values less than 0.05 were considered to be significant. In ASA model, oral administration of AEBPS suppressed the hypothermia and increased level of serum histamine in a dose-dependent manner. AEBPS attenuated the serum IgE, OVA-specific IgE, and interleukin (IL)-4. Oral administration of AEBPS also blocked mast cell-dependent PCA. AEBPS suppressed degranulation of mast cells by reducing intracellular calcium level in mast cells. AEBPS inhibited tumor necrosis factor-α and IL-4 expression and secretion in a concentration-dependent manner through the reduction of nuclear factor-κB. On the basis of these findings, AEBPS could serve as a potential therapeutic target for the management of mast cell-mediated allergic inflammation and as a regulator of mast cell activation.

Infection scene investigation of shot holes: Incomplete but neutral abscission of brown spots on oriental cherry leaves

AbstractShot holes on oriental cherry (Prunus serrulata var. spontanea) leaves were investigated to evaluate their role in the elimination of pathogens using analytical electron microscopy. Small brown spots caused by Mycosphaerella cerasella appeared on the leaf surface and developed into shot holes that were approximately 1–5 mm in diameter. Field emission scanning electron microscopy revealed clusters of fungal conidiophores and hyphal growth on the leaf surface around the shot holes. The fungal structures were mostly located within a radius of 500 μm from the shot holes and confined to the epidermal sector separated by veins. X‐ray microanalysis revealed distinct calcium ring patterns encircling the shot holes. The abscised surfaces consisted of suberized plant cells colonized with filamentous fungi and yeasts. Embedded in the mesophyll tissue, druse crystals were co‐localized with calcium and oxygen. Despite the fungal presence around the shot holes, no further expansion of the shot holes was observed on the leaf surface. These results suggest that shot holes may represent an incomplete but neutral abscission of infection loci in the presence of necrotrophic fungal pathogens. This microscopy study provides insight into the formation and roles of calcium oxalate in plants under pathological conditions.

Complete chloroplast genome of the wild Oshima Cherry (Prunus speciosa, Rosaceae) in Izu islands, Japan

Prunus speciosa (Oshima cherry) is a flowering tree species with high ornamental and economic values and is also an indigenous species with a very limited natural distribution in Japan. Here we determined the first complete chloroplast genome of P. speciosa using genome skimming approach. The cp genome was 157,916 bp long, with a large single-copy region (LSC) of 85,927 bp and a small single-copy region (SSC) of 19,123 bp separated by a pair of inverted repeats (IRs) of 26,433 bp. It encodes 129 genes, including 84 protein-coding genes, 37 tRNA genes, and eight ribosomal RNA genes. The phylogenetic analysis indicated that P. speciosa is close related with ‘P. serrulata var. spontanea’ auct. non. (P. leveilleana).

Absorption Ability of Particulate Matter in Leaves of Street Trees in Jinju City

This study was carried out to provide preliminary information to grasp how many particulate matter (PM) which is a problem in urban area are absorbed and removed by street trees. The morphology, size and element composition of PM deposited on leaves of five street trees (Quercus glauca, Q. myrsinaefolia, Ginkgo biloba, Prunus serrulata var. spontanea, and Pinus densiflora) in Jinju city, South Korea were analyzed. The size of PM was classified into three as PM2.5 (0.2~2.5 μm), PM10 (2.5~10 μm), and PM100 (10~100 μm). The element composition of PM deposited on the leaves at the study sites mainly comprised of O, C, N, Si, and Al. The PM at industrial area and university campus was irregular and spherical shape, respectively. Total PM accumulated on the leaf surfaces of P. densiflora was 71.65 μg/cm² at industrial area and 40.66 μg/cm² at university campus, which was significantly higher than the other species. The ratio of PM2.5, PM10, and PM100 deposited on the leaves was 9.2%, 37.0%, 53.8% at industrial area and 15.8%, 27.1%, 57.1% at university campus, respectively. P. densiflora deposited the most PM2.5, PM10 and PM100 in leaf wax at the study sites, which was significantly higher than the other species.

본 연구는 일본 고베시(神戶市) 해안 매립도시인 포트아일랜드 가로녹지의 지형구조별 도로 유형, 주변 토지이용, 식재구조를 조사 분석하여 녹지량이 풍부한 가로녹지 식재기법 사례를 제공하고자 수행하였다. 포트아일랜드(총면적 826ha)는 일본 내에서도 최초의 인공섬으로 항만시설과 본격적인 도시기능시설을 겸비한 해상문화도시이다. 연구대상지내 <TEX>$55{\sim}285m^2$</TEX> 면적의 조사구 11개소를 설정하여 조사 한 결과, 가로녹지의 지형구조는 마운딩형, 사면형, 사면+평지형, 평지형의 4개 유형으로 구분되었고, 인접한 도로의 폭에 따라 지형구조가 변화하였다. 인접한 도로의 차선이 많아서 소음, 공해물질 등 영향을 많이 받는 지역은 마운딩형, 사면형, 사면+평지형 등의 지형구조와 광폭의 다층구조 녹지대를 조성하였고, 도로차선이 적은 지역인 경우, 평지형의 지형구조와 화관목 위주의 관목을 식재하여 가로띠녹지를 조성하였다. 인접한 토지이용은 공공기관, 공동주택지, 주상복합지, 상업업무지 등이었고, 식재개념은 중로(4차선)의 경우 완충+경관기능, 소로(2차선)의 경우 경관기능이었다. 식재종은 대만풍나무, 녹나무, 조구나무, 참죽나무, 담팔수, 은행나무, 벚나무, 느티나무, 종가시나무, 향나무, 목련, 철쭉류, 동백나무, 꽃댕강나무 등 다양하게 나타났다. 식재밀도는 교목층 0.02~0.08(0.04)주/<TEX>$m^2$</TEX>, 아교목층 0.02~0.08(0.04)주/<TEX>$m^2$</TEX>이었고, 녹피율은 교목층 40.0~173.7(93.0)%, 아교목층 2.1~79.8(34.9)%, 관목층 17.9~64.2(4.13)%이었다. 녹지용적계수는 교목층 <TEX>$1.43{\sim}6.67(4.13)m^3/m^2$</TEX>, 아교목층 <TEX>$0.02{\sim}2.01(0.85)m^3/m^2$</TEX>, 관목층 <TEX>$0.14{\sim}0.58(0.26)m^3/m^2$</TEX>이었다. 포트아일랜드 가로녹지의 녹피율은 서울시 주요 가로녹지에 비해 높은 수준이었고, 특히 관목층 녹피율과 녹지용적계수는 우리나라 주요 가로녹지와 비교하였을 때 많은 차이가 있었다. 본 연구 결과는 현재 우리나라에 조성되고 있는 해안 매립기반 도시의 가로녹지 조성 시 지형구조, 식재구조, 식재기능 등을 고려하여 다양한 기능을 수행하는 가로녹지 조성기법 사례지로 응용이 가능할 것으로 판단된다. This study was carried out to provide examples of planting methods for the construction of street green spaces with abundant greenery by analyzing road type, surrounding land use and planting structures in street green spaces on Port Island, Kobe, Japan. Port Island_(total area: 826ha) is a marine cultural city located in Japan's first artificial island with facilities of urban function and port facilities. The study site was designated at 11 plots of <TEX>$55{\sim}285m^2$</TEX> on Port Island, and topography structure styles were divided into four types with mounding style, slope style, slope and flat style, flat style according to the adjacent roads width. The area adjacent to the middle roads with high levels of noise and pollution set up the mounding style, slope style, slope and flat style of multi-layer structures using topographic properties. The area adjacent to small roads focused on a green strip with shrubs on a flat style. Surrounding land-uses include a public institution, housing complex, and a commercial building. The planting concept was a buffer and landspace function in case of the middle road_(lane 4) while the small road_(lane 2) was a landspace function. Planting species were diverse with Liquidambe formosana, Cinnamomum camphora, Sapium sebiferum, Cedrela sinensis, Laeocarpus sylvestris var. ellipticus, Ginkgo biloba, Prunus serrulata var. spontanea, Zelkova serrata, Quercus glauca, Juniperus chinensis, Magnolia kobus, Rhododendron spp., Camellia japonica, Abelia mosanensis, etc. Planting density was 0.02~0.08(0.04) individual/<TEX>$m^2$</TEX> at the canopy layer, 0.02~0.08(0.04) individual/<TEX>$m^2$</TEX> at the understory layer. Ratio of green coverage was 40.0~173.7(93.0)% at the canopy layer, 2.1~79.8(34.9)% at the understory layer and 17.9~64.2(32.9)% at the shrub layer. <TEX>$Gr{\ddot{u}}volumenzahl$</TEX> was <TEX>$1.43{\sim}6.67(4.13)m^3/m^2$</TEX> at the canopy layer, <TEX>$0.02{\sim}2.01(0.85)m^3/m^2$</TEX> at the understory layer and <TEX>$0.14{\sim}0.58(0.26)m^3/m^2$</TEX> at the shrub layer. The ratio of green coverage of street green space on Port Island was higher than that of Seoul, and particularly, the ratio of green coverage and <TEX>$gr{\ddot{u}}volumenzahl$</TEX> at the shrub layer differed, compared to the main street green space in Korea. The result of this study may be applicable to other coastal reclaimed cities in terms of setting methods for street greenery considering the topography structure, planting structure and planting function.
