Abstract

Street trees are very important to urban environments as they can alleviate air pollution. However, when ozone is absorbed through the stomata, it can induce the formation of free radicals inside the tree, negatively affecting the vegetation. The present study investigated the Air Pollution Tolerance Index (APTI) of four major street tree species: Prunus yedoensis, Zelkova serrata, Chionanthus retusus, and Pinus densiflora. Two-year-old seedlings were placed in a phytotron and fumigated with 100 nL·L-1 (ppb) ozone for 4 weeks, following which the ascorbic acid contents, chlorophyll contents, leaf pHs, and relative water contents were measured. There was no significant difference in the APTI of Prunus yedoensis and Zelkova serrata between the ozone and control treatments. By contrast, the ozone treatment caused the APTI of Chionanthus retusus to increase and that of Pinus densiflora to decrease compared with the respective controls. These results suggest that the APTI of these tree species exhibit very different responses to ozone. Therefore, more detailed research should be conducted on a range of species in the future.

가로수는 도시 생활에서 중요한 녹지의 한 부분이고 대기오염을 극복하기 위해서 건전한 생장을 하는 수종을 선정, 식재, 관리 하는 것이 필요하다. 오존은 수목에 활성산소를 만들어 생리적으로 부정적인 영향을 미치며 생태적인 피해를 유발한다. 본 연구는 국내 주요 가로수종인 왕벚나무(Prunus yedoensis), 느티나무(Zelkova serrata), 이팝나무(Chionanthus retusus), 그리고 소나무(Pinus densiflora.)의 묘목을 오존에 노출하여 실험하였다. 2년생 묘목을 Phytotron에서 100 nL·L-1(ppb)의 농도로 약 4주간 실험하였다. 묘목이 생장하는 동안 오존에 대한 생화학적 반응 및 대기오염내성지수(APTI)를 비교하여 오존에 대한 반응을 평가하였다. 아스코르브산 함량, 총 엽록소 함량, pH, 상대수분함량의 수치를 바탕으로 대기오염내성지수를 계산했을 때 왕벚나무와 느티나무는 오존 처리구와 대조구간에 APTI의 변화가 통계적인 유의차를 보이지 않았고, 이팝나무는 오존처리구에서 증가했으며 소나무는 다른 수종에 비해서 감소했다. 본 실험을 통해, APTI를 산출하는 요소에 대한 수종별 반응이 다른 것을 확인하였으며, 이를 통해 수종과 도시 내 대기 환경에 상호작용을 이해하고 대기오염물질인 오존에 따른 도시 내 수종 선별에 대해서 예측할 수 있다.
