分析屋顶绿化植物的选择及配置分析屋顶绿化植物的选择及配置摘要：随着工业化的开展，我国的城市化进程也不断加快，在城市化进程中，比拟突出的问题之一就是--绿化面积缺乏。
为了解决这种现象，人们提出了屋顶绿化的概念，屋顶绿化是一种特殊的绿化方式，它的绿化主旨是：“利用有限的空间，创造无限的自然享受。
〞本文主要从屋顶绿化植物的生长特点以及它设计原那么方面，分析屋顶绿化植物的选择及配置方式。
关键词：屋顶；绿化植物；选择屋顶绿化植物的开展，可以扩充城市绿化面积，改善城市热岛效应，同时又美化了城市环境。
目前，它已经成为很多城市绿化的焦点。
屋顶绿化植物有很好的隔热作用，不仅能改善室内环境，而且能为建筑节能，是一种很好的绿化设想。
植物是屋顶绿化的主体，所以选择什么样的植物，怎么搭配植物影响着屋顶绿化的质量与效果。
一、屋顶绿化的作用改善环境众所周知，绿色植物能吸收二氧化碳，释放氧气，降低植物周围的大气温差，而且具有减噪杀菌的作用，吸收有害气体以及空气浮尘等等，总之对环境有百利而无一害。
屋顶绿化就是运用景观植物美化屋顶环境，能有效的完善生态系统，促进城市生态稳定，改善城市热岛效应。
节能降耗屋顶绿化植物，具有冬季保温，夏季降温的作用，可以说是人们天然的空调。
通过光合作用能有效的降低大气温差，减少空调的运行时间，从而降低能源的消耗，缓解能源危机。
另外，由于屋顶植物使栽植在建筑物最上方，能直接为建筑物遮挡风挡雨，防止日晒，可减轻屋顶建筑材料损耗，一定程度上延长了建筑物使用寿命。
美化城市屋顶的建筑对建筑物形象中有着重要的影响作用，现在城市建筑中，很多楼房的屋顶都是平房形式，看上去单调而古板。
如果运用屋顶绿化形式，就可以改善屋顶的环境和单一的样式。
比方，结合建筑物的特点，通过不同的景观设计与色彩、样式、层次的搭配，提高建筑物屋顶的绿化，是建筑物更加美观。
二、屋顶植物设计原那么生态性原那么屋顶绿化的目的之一就是为了缓解城市的环境压力，所以在设计时要注重它的生态性原那么。

空中花园（绿化）的植物选择与配植摘要：本章通过对屋顶花园（绿化）植物生长条件的特性的分析，结合屋顶花园植物选择原则，并列出适合于屋顶花园植物植物的品种，最后通过配置设计进一步说明了适合于空中屋顶花园（绿化）的植物品种的选择以及具体应用。
关键词：绿化植物选择品种配植Planting arrangement and choosing for air garden(landscaping)Zhang NaiqiCollege of Horticulture SCUTATutor:Zhang Xuanbing (Instructor)Abstract: Through landscape design, combination of analysis of growth conditions of plants in roof garden with principle of choosing plants and varieties which adapt to roof garden brought on further description of seclection for plants and its practical application.Keywords: virescence; selection for plants; varieties; layout前言空中屋顶花园（绿化）植物选配形式，视其使用要求而异。
但是无论哪种使用要求和种植形式，都要求空中屋顶花园（绿化）上选配比露地花园更为精美的品种。
保持四季常青、三季有花、一季有景。
能让建筑物免遭高温、紫外线等的损害，可净化空气，调节城市气候，缓解城区热岛效应。
1.屋顶花园（绿化）植物生长条件的特性用于屋顶花园（绿化）中的植物，其选择需要非常认真的考虑。
要切实注意对于植物生长的各种不利因素。
估价小气候的作用，全面考虑种植条件，要考虑种植条件，要考虑种植土的深度与成分、排水情况、空气污染情况、浇灌条件、养护管理等因素。
屋顶绿化设计植物的选择
（1）以比较低矮的灌木、草本植物、藤本植物为主。
选择低矮的灌木、草本植物、藤本植物如：六月雪、紫薇、藤本月季等，便于防风、种植、管理和运输。
在屋顶绿化设计时有假山的花镜或花坛需要栽种大型植物的地方，可以适当选择那种高度在2～2.5m的中高等植物。
（2）以浅根系防风而且不倒伏的植物为主。
由于屋顶绿化时种植植物的基质层比较薄，又要考虑到植物根系对建筑层面的侵蚀，所以必须选用浅根系。
屋顶绿化在建筑面表面，所以又要抗风不易倒伏，如：佛甲草、秋海棠、杜鹃等。
（3）以耐旱性强，阳性植物为主。
由于屋顶绿化基质层比较薄，水分蒸发相对较快，而且一般是地势较高阳光直射的露面，所以选择耐旱或较耐旱喜光的阳性植物如：月季、玫瑰、金银花。
但在靠墙边，日照时间较短的特定环境中可以选择一些半阴性的植物。
如：红背桂、夜合花、含笑等。
（4）色彩搭配上，以绿色植物为主。
为了使花园体现出自然的效果，植物色彩上选择以绿色为主，一般选用株型、叶型美观的常绿品种。
再搭配不同季相的花，使之做到四季有花、花香诱人的效果。
如：杜鹃、栀子、山茶等
（5）品种选择上，以本土植物为主，适当引种少量优良品种。
本土植物是经过了长期的种植实验，适用各种生长环境，运输方便容易成活。
所以我们在做屋顶绿化时优先选用本土植物。
但是为了增加人们
对屋顶植物的新鲜感，根据各地气候特点，适当引用一些优良的外地品种，丰富屋顶植物景观。
如：鱼尾葵、九里香、鸭脚木等。
屋顶花园植物选择1.选择耐旱、抗寒性强的矮灌木和草本植物。
一般应选择阳性的、耐旱、耐寒的浅根性植物，还必须属低矮、抗风、耐移植的品种。
常见的有罗汉松、瓜子黄杨、大叶黄杨、雀舌黄杨、锦熟黄杨、珊瑚树、棕榈、蚊母、丝兰、栀子花、巴茅、龙爪槐、紫荆、紫薇、海棠、腊梅、寿星桃等，因时因地区确定使用材料。
2.选择阳性、耐瘠薄的浅根性植物。
如白玉兰、紫玉兰、天竺、杜鹃、牡丹、茶花、含笑、月季、橘子、金橘、茉莉、美人蕉、大丽花、苏铁、百合、百枝莲、鸡冠花、枯叶菊、桃叶珊瑚、海桐、构骨、葡萄、紫藤、常春藤、爬山虎、六月雪、桂花、菊花、麦冬、葱兰、黄馨、迎春、鸡蛋花、天鹅绒草坪、荷花等。

Selecting Plants for Extensive Green Roofs in the United StatesKristin L. Getter, D. Bradley RoweMichigan State UniversityWhat is a Green Roof?Green roofs, or vegetated roofs, are analternative roofing technology in which plantmaterial is established on the rooftop. Theyprovide numerous ecological and economicbenefits, including stormwater management,energy conservation, mitigation of the urban heatisland effect, increased longevity of roofingmembranes, and mitigation of noise and airpollution. Green roofs also help provide anaesthetically pleasing environment to work andlive in.Green roofs are categorized as intensiveor extensive systems. Intensive green roofs aresimilar to landscaping found at ground level, andrequire media depths greater than 6 inches andhave intense maintenance needs. By contrast,extensive green roofs use shallower mediadepths (less than 6 inches) and require minimalmaintenance. Because of the challenges ofselecting plants for shallow media, thispublication focuses on extensive green roofs.Figure 1. A 10.4-acre extensive green roof inDearborn, Mich. at the Ford Motor Co. River Rougeassembly plant.Considerations for Plant SelectionFactors in selecting plant material aredesign intent, aesthetic appeal, environmentalconditions, media composition and depth,installation methods and maintenance. Designfactors that may influence plant selection includeaccessibility to and use of the roof, stormwatermanagement objectives, xeriscaping objectivesand thermal insulation objectives. Beforeselecting species on the basis of the designintent, expectations of aesthetics should beaddressed because many species havedormant periods when the green roof may notappear so green. For example, many nativeprairie grasses and perennials will normally dryand brown in the summer. Although this is anatural occurrence, some may find itunacceptable.Figure 2. An extensive green roof during dormancy inEast Lansing, Mich.Regardless of the desired aesthetic effect,climate and microclimate have a major impact onplant selection. In particular, average high andlow temperatures, extreme hot and coldtemperatures, irradiance levels, wind, and theamount and distribution of rainfall throughout theyear will determine what species can survive in aspecific area. Drought tolerance is importantbecause high levels of solar radiation and lowmedia moisture are usually the norm in shallowextensive systems. Likewise, microclimates onthe roof must be considered. Roof slope andorientation may influence the intensity of the sunand media moisture content, surroundingstructures may shade a portion of the roof, airvents from heating and air conditioning units maydry the media, and chemical exhaust fromindustrial buildings may influence plant growth.Environmental conditions, especially the amountand distribution of rainfall and temperatureextremes, will eliminate the use of certain speciesor will dictate the need for irrigation. Althoughaesthetic appeal is an important criterion on manyroofs, survival and stress tolerance are theprimary criteria.Media composition and depth have a major impact on plant selection for green roof systems. The ideal extensive green roof medium consists of a balance of lightweight, well-drained materials, possesses adequate water- andnutrient-holding capacity, and will not break down over time. Shallow media depths found onextensive green roofs dry out fast and usually do not support woody species, deep-rooted grasses, and many annual or perennial flowering plants. Conversely, shallow media often limit the growth of many undesirable weeds, and many desirable species are naturally found growing under these shallow conditions.Figure 3. Typical extensive green roof medium.In addition, installation method mayinfluence plant choice. Plants can be established at ground level - grown as plugs or established on a blanket, mat or tray and then placed on the roof directly - or on the green roof medium via seed, plugs or cuttings. The availability of individual species in any of these forms may influence plant selection. In addition, the method of installation chosen may influence how much irrigation is required during initial plant establishment. And the long-term need of individual species forirrigation will also be an issue in plant selection.Plant CharacteristicsThe variability of green roof designs and climates in the United States. makes it impractical to list every possible plant candidate for extensive green roofs. As a general rule, potentiallysuitable species can be found by looking at the microclimate (media depth, solar levels, water availability, etc.) of the green roof in question and comparing it to a plant’s native habitat. Some species have evolved in extreme conditions, such as mountainous terrains, high altitudeenvironments, coasts, limestone media or arid areas and are probably suitable for green roofs. In choosing which plants to use, consider plant characteristics such as rate ofestablishment, longevity, ground cover density, and disease and pest resistance. The idealspecies are long-lived and reseed themselves or spread vegetatively. Drought tolerance is one of the most limiting factors on extensive green roof systems because of their shallow media depths and usual reliance on natural precipitation. However, be careful to avoid drought-tolerant species that rely on deep taproots to obtainmoisture – this situation cannot exist on a shallow extensive roof. Succulent plants are well-adapted to the conditions often found on extensive green roofs because of their ability to limit transpiration and store excess water. Species such as Sedum , Delosperma , Euphorbia and Sempervivum are popular choices. Presented here are species suggestions taken from scientific literature, as well as grower recommendations.Figure 4. Green roof established with plugs.Figure 5. Green roof established with seed.Little has been published for species tested in southern portions of the United States. However, scientists in Singapore (likely comparable to a U.S. hardiness zone of 10 or 11) have found the following species to be thriving on a 2- to 4- inch deep roof: Aglaia odorata, Aloe vera, Aptenia cordifolia, Callisia repens, Carpobrutus edulis, Delosperma lineare, Furcraea foetida, Ixora coccinea, Kalanchoe tomentosa, Liriope muscari, Lonicera japonica, Murraya paniculata, Ophiopogon intermedius, Pandanus amaryllifolius, Portulaca grandiflora, Sanseveria trifasciata, Sedum acre, Sedum mexicanum, Sedum nussbaumerianum, Sedum sarmentosum, Sedum sexangulare, Tradescantia pallida, Zephyranthes candida and Zephyranthes rosea.In addition, the following species are currently being tested in southern regions of the United States. No results have yet been published, but they serve as a good starting point for extensive green roofs in these regions. In Florida, with 5 inches of media, the following species are being tested: Gaillardia pulchella, Liatris spicata, Sisyrinchium atlanticum, Coreopsis grandiflora, Helianthus debilis, Licania michauxii, Phyla nodiflora, Muhlenbergia capillaris, Arachis glabrata and Salvia coccinea. In Texas, with 4 inches of medium, the following species are being tested: Bouteloua curtipendula, Bouteloua gracilus, Bouteloua rigidisete, Carex texensis, Nassella tenuissima, Panicum hallii, Bignonia capreolata, Dalea greggii, Erigeron modestus, Hesperaloe parviflora, Manfreda maculosa, Salvia farinacea, Salvia greggii, Scutellaria wrightii, Stemodia lanata and Tetraneuris scaposa.In California, a statewide effort to increase energy efficiency of buildings is under way. The creators of that outreach campaign suggest the following species may work on an extensive green roof in the Los Angeles area: Aloe nobilis, Carex stricta, Carex testacea, Delosperma alba, Delosperma cooperii, Dudleya hassei, Dudleya pulverulenta, Echinocactus grusonii, Kalanchoe beharensis, Lampranthus deltoides, Lampranthus productus, Muhlenbergia rigens, Opuntia basilaris, Opuntia violacea santarita, Sedum sieboldii and Sedum spathulifolium.
