Abstract

This research was carried out in Izmir-Turkiye and investigated the potential of using three different substrates (cocopeat, loofah and perlite) in the design of green roofs with succulents (Crassula ovata) in aim to improve their performance. In this research, four different groups (G1: Soil-Cocopeat, G2: Soil-Loofah, G3: Soil-Perlite and G4: Soil) were created according to the plant growing media used in the planting layer. The researchers conducted measurements of the drained irrigation water’s EC (Electrical Conductivity) value, pH value and drainage amount, the plant growing media’s temperature and moisture, the plant’s height and leaf number, and the amount of subsidence in the planting layer. In line with the results obtained from the evaluations of the analyses, it is possible to say that perlite (G3) offers more advantages than its alternatives in terms of many variables. However, according to the conclusive results, it has been understood that the use of a single type of substrate as plant growing media would not be sufficient to encourage the maximum performance of green roofs. To ensure that, considering the advantages of each substrate group, it is proposed that their combined use would be more beneficial.

在绿色屋顶中使用不同基质的潜力

这项研究在土耳其伊兹密尔进行，研究了在多肉植物（Crassula ovata）绿色屋顶设计中使用三种不同基质（椰子、丝瓜和珍珠岩）的潜力，以提高其性能。在本研究中，根据种植层中使用的植物生长介质，创建了四个不同的组（G1：土壤泥炭，G2：土壤丝瓜，G3：土壤珍珠岩和G4：土壤）。研究人员测量了排水灌溉水的EC（电导率）值、pH值和排水量、植物生长介质的温度和湿度、植物的高度和叶数以及种植层的沉降量。根据分析评估的结果，可以说珍珠岩（G3）在许多变量方面比其替代品具有更多优势。然而，根据结论性结果，人们已经认识到，使用单一类型的基质作为植物生长介质不足以促进绿色屋顶的最大性能。为了确保这一点，考虑到每种基质组的优势，建议将它们结合使用会更有益。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
