본 연구는 유기물 멀칭재 종류에 따른 토양수분함량과 동자꽃의 생육반응을 비교·분석하여 저관리 옥상녹화에서 멀칭재의 효용성을 알아보고자 수행하였다. 실험구는 멀칭재를 사용하지 않은 대조구 (Cont.; Control)와 코코칩 (C.O; Cocochip), 우드칩 (W.O; Woodchip), 짚거적 (S.T; Straw), 톱밥 (S.A; Sawdust) 등, 총 5개의 처리구로 조성하였다. 실험결과, 유기물 멀칭재 유형에 따른 토양수분함량은 W.O > S.T > Cont. > C.O > S.A 순으로 높게 나타났으며, 특히 톱밥에서 유의적 차이를 보였다. 생육 측정 결과, 초장에서 S.T > Cont. > C.O > W.O > S.A의 순으로 생육이 좋았으며, 초장을 제외한 다른 생육항목에서의 멀칭재별 유의적인 차이는 미미하였다. 상대엽록소함량과 체내수분량은 모두 무처리구보다 우수하게 나타나 유기 멀칭재 처리가 동자꽃의 엽록소함량 및 체내수분량 유지에 효과적인 것으로 판단된다. 특히 실험구 내 토양수분함량은 멀칭재 자체의 성질에 의해 영향을 받는 것으로 나타나 저관리 옥상녹화에서 각 식물의 특성에 적합한 멀칭재 사용이 요구되며 수분 스트레스에 약한 수종 선정 시 유기물 멀칭을 통해 극복할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

졸참나무 (Quercus serrata), 맹종죽 (Phyllostachys pubescens) 및 소나무 (Pinus densiflora)로부터 제조한 미정제 초액의 휘발성 성분을 고상(固相) 미량추출(solid phase microextraction; SPME)법을 이용하여 분석하였다. 이들 초액 중의 휘발성화합물 분석을 위하여 극성 (CBP 20) 및 무극성 (CBP 1) 칼람을 사용하였으며, 이로부터 총 264개의 피크를 검출하였다. 이들 성분들 중 주요 화합물은 2-butanone, acetic acid, guaiacol, phenol, 4-ethyl guaiacol, cresol류, 4-ethyl phenol, 그리고 syringol이었다. 무극성 칼람을 사용함에 의하여 7개의 성분, 즉, 1-hydroxy-2-butanone, ethisolide, furfuryl acetate, 1-(2-furanyl)-1-propane, 1,2-dimethoxybenzene, 1,2-dimethoxybenzyl alcohol, phenyl acetate를 새로이 동정할 수 있었다. 이 성분들 중 페놀류가 주성분이었으며, 휘발성 성분의 49~65%를 차지하였다. 죽초액의 경우 페놀류의 비율은 다른 두 목초액보다 낮았다. 그러나 중성화합물류 및 유기산류는 소나무 및 졸참나무로부터 제조한 목초액보다 그 비율이 더 높았다. 따라서 이들 죽초액과 목초액 간의 훈취의 차이는 목초액의 서로 다른 휘발성분의 함유량의 차이에 기인한다고 생각된다.
