Studies on Optimum Shading for Seedling Cultivation of Cornus controversa and C. walteri

층층나무와 말채나무 양묘(養苗)시 적정(適正) 차광율(遮光率)에 관한 연구(硏究)

This studies were carried out to investigate the optimum shading for seedling cultivation of Cornus controversa and C. walteri. The experiment was performed under five different shading scheme such as 100%, 50%, 30%, 10%, and 2% of the natural full sun light intensity for 7 months in the field condition. Two species showed the highest height growth under 50% of relative light intensity, and the highest diameter growth at root collar was observed both under 100% and 50% of relative light intensity. C. controversa seedlings grown under 50% of relative light intensity produced more total biomass than control seedlings, but root biomass was less in the seedlings under 50% of relative light intensity. In case of C. walteri, total biomass production of the seedlings under 50% of relative light intensity was lower than that of the seedlings under full sun light intensity, but leaves and shoot biomass was slightly high under 50% of relative light intensity. Great reductions of height growth and diameter growth at root collar, and biomass production were observed below 30% of relative light intensity in the both species. T/R ratio of the two species was highest under 30% of relative light intensity, and the chlorophyll content of the seedlings tended to be increased by reduction of relative light intensity.

본 실험은 층층나무(Cornus controversa Hemsl)와 말채나무(Cornus walteri Wanger)의 양묘시 적정 차광율을 구명하고자 상대광도가 100%(대조구), 50%, 30%, 10% 및 2%로 조절된 피음포지에서 실시하였다. 두 수종의 수고생장은 상대광도 50%에서 가장 높은 생장을 보였고, 근원경생장은 대조구와 50%구에서 서로 비슷하게 높은 생장을 기록하였다. 물질생산량을 보면 층층나무의 전체 생산량의 경우 50%에서 자연전광의 대조구보다 높은 생산량을 보였으나 지하부의 생산량은 다소 낮았다. 말채나무는 50%에서 전체 생산량은 대조구보다 낮았으나 지상부 생산량은 다소 높은 생산량을 보였다. 30%이하의 상대광도에서는 수고생장, 근원경생장 및 물질생산량이 급격히 감소하였다. 두 수종 모두 30%에서 가장 높은 T/R율을 기록하였으며 전체적으로 말채나무의 T/R율이 층층나무의 T/R율 보다 높았다. 잎의 엽록소 a와 b 및 전체엽록소 함량은 상대광도가 낮을수록 높아지는 경향을 나타내었다.
