Evapotranspiration rate of rooftop gardening plants
Journal of the Japanese Society of Revegetation Technology, 2006 本研究では，屋上緑化の熱環境への負荷低減効果を定量的に算定するための基礎データとして，屋上緑化の蒸発散量の測定を行った。使用した土壌は黒土とパーライト系の人工軽量土，土壌厚は7cm，14cm，21cmの3種類であり，各土壌厚につき裸地と3種の植物の計4試験区を設け，夏・秋・冬・春の4シーズンの蒸発散量を小型ライシメータの重量減少によって測定した。その結果，黒土区で人工軽量土区より植物生育が悪いものが多く，蒸発散量が抑えられ，黒土区のペチュニアの8月の蒸発散量は裸地より少なかった。各土壌厚の中で8月の蒸発散量が最大だったものは，人工軽量土区のローズマリー(Rosmarinus offcinalis L.)が7.2 kg/m2/day，人工軽量土区のバーベナ(Verbena.
