본 연구는 음지에서 잘 자라는 자생 지피식물 선발을 위해 7종의 자생식물을 대상으로 광 조건을 달리하여 생장반응을 조사하였다. 비비추는 자연광의 60% 차광에서 가장 좋은 생장을 보였으며, 맥문동은 90% 차광에서 생육이 매우 좋았다. 관중은 60% 차광에서 생육이 가장 우수 하였으며, 대사초는 40% 차광에서 초장과 초폭이 신장이 좋았고 엽수도 많았다. 비비추, 맥문동, 관중 및 수호초는 차 광율이 높을수록 엽록소 함량이 점차 증가되었으며, 맥 문동은 완전음지나 자연광에서는 개화되지 않았다.
The objective of this research was to select the native shade tolerance plant which grows well from landscape objective of the urban. Seven species native ground cover plants were evaluated on the growth and chloropyll under 0, 40, 60, 90% shading treatments. Hosta longipes was showed the quite good growth from 60% level of natural light. The plant growth of Liriope platyphylla was good within 144.2 μmol·m−2·s−1 intensity which is 90% shade level of natural light. But, Dryiopteris crassirhizoma was judged with shade tolerance plant which grow quite well from shading condition level of 60% degree. Carex siderosticea was showed the highest plant length and plant width in 40% shading of natural light more than at conditon too much shading. Hosta longipes, Liriope platyphylla, Dryiopteris crassirhizoma, and Carex siderosticea were as shade tolerance plant with increases chlorophyll content well to overcome a light restrictive condition and is adapted to seem with the result.
