Description

  The present invention relates to a sphagnum complex suitable for cultivating sphagnum moss, particularly on a wall surface.

  Sphagnum refers to moss plants that belong to the sphagnetae, and about 150 species per genus are recorded in the world, and about 35 species are recorded in Japan. Sphagnum is known as one of the most economical value among moss plants, and in Japan it is often used mainly for horticulture.

  It is also known that sphagnum moss grows all over the surface of the high marshes where peat develops on the surface of the water, and a peat layer composed mainly of sphagnum moss remains below the surface. Yes. In such high-rise wetlands, a large amount of carbon dioxide is fixed for a long period of thousands of years, and it is known that it is a very important carbon dioxide absorption source on the present earth.

  Currently, for various reasons, such high-rise wetlands are being rapidly damaged, and there is concern about the acceleration of global warming due to a reduction in the fixing power of carbon dioxide on a global scale.

  Under such circumstances, a means capable of easily cultivating sphagnum in large quantities is desired.

  Based on this, the present inventors filed an application for a sphagnum cultivation base (hereinafter referred to as a conventional sphagnum cultivation base) that enables mass cultivation of sphagnum [PCT / JP03 / 16882: WO2004 / 060049A1 (International release on July 22, 2004)].

  The conventional sphagnum cultivating group is an epoch-making technology that enables mass cultivation of sphagnum moss. Furthermore, establishing cultivating means of sphagnum moss in various forms has the potential to protect the global environment by sphagnum moss. It is meaningful for further enhancement.

  An object of the present invention is to provide means particularly suitable for fixing and curing sphagnum on the wall surface.

  The present inventor has established a sphagnum complex (hereinafter referred to as the sphagnum mosquito complex) formed by fixing a growing sphagnum plant body on the horizontal front surface of a collection of dried sphagnum plant bodies in an infiltrated state, which is suspended from a horizontal member. It was found that the above-described problems can be solved by providing a composite).

(1) Sphagnum As clarified in the above-mentioned application publication, the sphagnum plant body 10 includes stem 11, leaves and branches 12 (hereinafter, the leaves and branches are collectively referred to as “head”). Although it consists of (FIG. 1), it is known that the individual parts of these sphagnum plants have a regeneration ability for each part (clarified in the above publication).

  As described above, the present invention is an invention that provides means for cultivating sphagnum moss, and in addition to “growth sphagnum (plant body)” as the cultivation target, “dry sphagnum” to be brought into contact with the sphagnum sphagnum is required. To do.

  “Dried sphagnum” means mainly dried sphagnum (commercially available) regardless of whether it is in a wet state or not. Sphagnum moss) that are simply dried are also included.

  Further, in the present disclosure, when “sphagnum” is described, Sphagnum L. In addition to the general meaning, unless otherwise specified, it shall mean “grow sphagnum” as a direct object of the present invention.

  The "grow sphagnum" to be cultivated in this complex, and the above-mentioned "dried sphagnum" mean all that belong to the genus Sphagnum L. For example, if they are native to Japan, Sphagnum palustre L., Sphagnum papillosum Lindb., Sphagum magellanicum Brid. Sphagnum compactactum DC.), Sphagum microporum Warnst. Ex Card, Kobano Zugoke (Sphagnum calymmatophyllum Warnest. & Card.), Yugamimizugoke (Sphagnum subsecundum Nees ex Sturm), Hosobamizugoke (Sphagnum girgensohnii Russow), Chamizugoke (Sphagnum fuscum (Schimp.) H.Klinggr.), Himemizugoke (Sphagnum fimbriatum Wilson ex Wilson & Hook.f.), Sphagnum capilifolium (Ehrh.) Hedw., Sphagum junghuhnianum Dozy & Molk. Subsp. .) H. Suzuki), Sphagum tenellum Hoffm., Sphagnum cuspidatum Hoffm. Of course, sphagnum originating from regions other than Japan can also be applied to the present invention.

  Among these sphagnum moss, the sphagnum moss is one of sphagnum moss suitable for application of the present invention, both as “growing sphagnum” and “dried sphagnum”.

(2) Suspended members and dried sphagnum plant body The suspended members (hereinafter also referred to as “horizontal members”) are, for example, laid on a vertical surface or a slope so that the vertical surface or the slope is along The member is not particularly limited as long as it is a member that can suspend the aggregate of dried sphagnum plant bodies. For example, a linear member such as a wire, a rod-like member, a net-like member (a dried sphagnum plant body can be suspended through the mesh, and the average diameter of the mesh in this case is about 5 to 10 cm), etc. However, the present invention is not limited to these. However, in consideration of easiness of hiding due to the growth of the growing sphagnum plant, it is preferably a linear member or a net-like member. In particular, in the embodiment using a net-like member, the length of the back side is maintained while the length of the back side of the plant body is passed through the mesh while maintaining the length of the front side plant body to be formed by the dried sphagnum plant body aggregate. It is possible to shorten the length of the dried sphagnum plant body on the back side.

  The dried sphagnum plant body can be suspended by simply hanging the dried sphagnum plant body on a horizontal member fixed to a vertical surface or a slope, covering the longitudinal direction of the plurality of dried sphagnum plant bodies. In this case, the dried sphagnum plant body is preferably moistened in advance. Further, the length in the longitudinal direction of the dried sphagnum plant body is preferably at least 7 cm or more, and particularly preferably 10 cm or more.

  As the dried sphagnum plant, a commercial product can be used as described above. When using a commercial product, it is preferable to select a grade in which the length of the dried sphagnum plant body in the longitudinal direction is ensured to the above extent. Cultivated sphagnum can also be used. This cultivation is performed as follows, for example. This method is a method capable of obtaining an aggregate of dried sphagnum mosquitoes having a length in the longitudinal direction and having the same length.

<Example of method for preparing dried sphagnum moss by artificial cultivation>
That is, FIG. 2 is a drawing showing an assembly process of an embodiment of the flat cultivator 20 using the sphagnum complex that can be used as a sphagnum cultivation field, sphagnum artificial garden, or the like ( Longitudinal section). In FIG. 2 (1), a first frame-like member 231 (material is not particularly limited, and wood, plastic, metal, etc. can be used) is placed horizontally on the flat ground 21, and the frame member A waterproof sheet 22 (vinyl sheet or the like) is covered from above so as to be in close contact with the ridge of the recess formed by placing the frame-shaped member 231, and has substantially the same shape as the planar shape of the upper surface of the frame member A water-permeable member 233 (such as a net-like member) is placed on the frame member covered with the waterproof sheet 22. Next, the second frame member 232 having a shape that can be superimposed on the frame material of the first frame member 231 is placed and fixed. As a result, a box-like structure having an open upper side in which a gap 234 capable of draining is provided in the outer frame is constructed. In the box-shaped structure, the concave-convex plate-like member 24 provided with a number of concave structures provided with through-holes 242 is placed with the concave structure opening facing upward, and dried sphagnum from above. 25 [The dried sphagnum 25 may be in a wet state or in a dry state, but is preferably in a wet state (not necessarily drained)]. If the dried sphagnum 25 is in a state in which sufficient water can be supplied to the dried sphagnum plant body bed 2731 through this, the dried sphagnum 25 is not necessarily packed in all the concave structures of the uneven plate-like member 24. There is no need to be. Further, the uneven plate-like member 24 is used to save the amount of dried sphagnum used in the first dried sphagnum layer formed by the dried sphagnum 25, and does not take into account the amount of dried sphagnum. For example, without using the uneven plate-like member 24, it is also possible to pack the dried sphagnum 25 directly into the bottom of the box-shaped structure and use this as the first dried sphagnum layer. It is preferable to inject a part of the amount assumed as the water 26 into the box-shaped structure at this stage. Further, for example, a member such as a brick-like member 243 is placed in the box-shaped structure, and a water level confirmation port for the water 26 in the box-shaped structure is provided, and an inlet for the water 26 is provided. Is preferred. For example, the water 26 is injected into the box-shaped structure through the pipe 261, but the present invention is not limited to this.

  On the first dried sphagnum layer 25 thus formed, a coarse dried sphagnum aggregate 273 [FIG. 2 (2)] is formed. The rough dried sphagnum aggregate 273 is preferably formed by compressing the wet sphagnum 271 wet with water to such an extent that it does not drip (272) by hand, etc. It can carry out by mounting on 1 dry sphagnum layer. The growing sphagnum plant body 28 is placed on the entire upper surface of the rough dried sphagnum aggregate 273. Next, preferably, the dried sphagnum 292 squirted from the shower nozzle 291 is poured over the entire upper surface of the rough dried sphagnum aggregate 273 on which the grown sphagnum plant body 28 is placed. By performing the tightening process on the entire aggregate 273 (this process reduces the height of the dried sphagnum aggregate 273, and this reduced height becomes the height H3 of the entire sphagnum complex 20). The fixing step of the growing sphagnum plant body 28 is completed, and a dried sphagnum plant body bed 2731 is formed on the box-like structure whose upper side is opened.

  Finally, water is poured into a water inlet provided using the member 243, and the water level of the water 26 is set to a prescribed water level H1. When the specified water level H1 is reached, excess water begins to flow out of the gap for drainage formed between the frame materials. The construction work 20 ends. The distance (height) from the specified water level H1 to the upper surface of the dried sphagnum plant body bed 2731 is, as described above, due to the trap function of the miscellaneous components of dirty water against the growing sphagnum plant body 28 and the temperature fluctuation particularly in summer. This is a height necessary for the dried sphagnum plant body bed 273 to sufficiently perform the temperature buffering function when the water temperature of the water 26 rises. The height should be at least 2 cm, preferably 5 cm, more preferably 7 cm. The height can be set up to a height at which the dried sphagnum aggregate can be pumped, and can be 20-30 cm or more, but if the height is too large, excess dried sphagnum will be used. Problems may arise from the viewpoint of efficient use of resources.

  The water 26 comes into contact with the growing sphagnum plant body 28 via the first dried sphagnum aggregate 25 to the dry sphagnum plant bed 2731, and this sphagnum plant body 28 is cured by an appropriate amount of sunlight. It grows and the surface of the bed 2731 gradually becomes a mat shape.

  FIG. 3 is a view showing an embodiment in which a plant of grown sphagnum moss cured with a cultivator using a flat-type sphagnum complex is separated and used as dried sphagnum.

  Fig. 3 (1) is a drawing (longitudinal sectional view) showing the flat-type cultivator shown in Fig. 2 in a simplified manner. The grown sphagnum plant body 281 placed and fixed on the dried sphagnum plant body bed 2731 and extended to an appropriate length (preferably at least 7 cm or more) can be easily obtained by hand or the like. It is possible to separate it so as to peel it off. The grown sphagnum plant body 281 ′ thus separated is placed in a suitable place 291 as it is and dried in the sun 292 to obtain a dried sphagnum aggregate 71 in which the plant bodies are arranged in a vertical array. [FIG. 3 (2)].

  FIG. 3 (3) shows a preferred embodiment in the case where it is planned to separate and utilize the plant body 28 of the growth sphagnum plant from the beginning as described above. Prior to the step of placing the grown sphagnum plant 28 on the rough dried sphagnum aggregate 273 described above, the bottom portion is a reticular portion 721, preferably a reticular body 72 [ The size of the eyes is preferably slightly smaller than the head of the growing sphagnum plant (the average diameter of the mesh is about 0.5 to 1.8 cm). It is placed on top, and the plant body 28 of growing sphagnum mosquito is placed and fixed thereon, and the dried sphagnum plant body bed 2731 is formed according to the above-mentioned process, and the plant body 28 of growing sphagnum moss is cured. This is referred to as a grown sphagnum plant body 281 extended to an appropriate length. Next, the sphagnum plant 281 of the grown sphagnum moss can be separated very easily by removing the reticulate 72 from the dried sphagnum plant bed 2731, preferably using the edge 722 as a handle. For example, the reticulated body 72 maintained in a form in which the sphagnum sphagnum plant bodies' are vertically arranged is dried as it is in the sun 292, whereby the vertically-arranged dried sphagnum aggregate 71 is obtained. [FIG. 3 (4)].

(3) Wetting of aggregates of dried sphagnum plants It is preferable that the aggregates of dried sphagnum plant bodies are continuously wetted. In the wet state, a part of the dried sphagnum plant aggregate of the sphagnum complex is brought into contact with water, and the water is distributed throughout the sphagnum complex by the excellent water supply capability of the dried sphagnum itself. Can be performed. This contact with water is usually done by directly immersing a portion of the dried sphagnum plant mass in water, but the water-absorbing part that has been in direct contact with other water, typically It may be an indirect contact via a collection of other dried sphagnum plant bodies that are provided separately and contacted with the dried sphagnum plant body aggregate of the present sphagnum complex. The water used here may be water (tap water), middle water, lake water, river water, rain water, ground water, etc., for example, water generated by using a cooler may be used. it can.

(4) Establishment of growth sphagnum mosquitoes The method of fixing the growth sphagnum moss in the sphagnum moss complex is not particularly limited. In a collection of dried sphagnum mosquitoes in which the longitudinal direction of the plant body is aligned in the vertical direction, the plant body can be inserted and fixed in a gap formed in the vertical direction. In addition, the entire side surface of the growing sphagnum plant body is brought into contact with the aggregate of the dried sphagnum plant body without inserting the stem part, and the contact state with the dried sphagnum plant body is maintained by a linear member or the like. Can be done.

  According to the above (1) to (4), the growing sphagnum in this sphagnum complex can be cured.

(5) Concatenation of the sphagnum complex The sphagnum complex described in (1) to (4) above is regarded as one unit, and two or more units are brought into contact with each other with a collection of dried sphagnum plants. A common water infiltration system can be formed. For example, the contact between the aggregates of dried sphagnum plants in the sphagnum complex of two or more units may be performed between the vicinity of the upper end of the sphagnum complex of one unit and the vicinity of the lower end of the sphagnum complex of the other unit. it can. This aspect is particularly suitable when the growth sphagnum plant body is fixed on the wall surface in a state where the plant body is fixed on the front side.

  Even in the case of performing such linking, any or all of the individual sphagnum complexes (typically, the present sphagnum complex formed by linking two or more units, in the case of curing growing sphagnum plants, By bringing a part of the aggregate of the plant of dried sphagnum moss (units of the present sphagnum complex located at the upper end or the lower end) into contact with water, the entire connected sphagnum complex can be brought into a wet state.

  According to the present invention, there is provided a sphagnum complex suitable for cultivating sphagnum moss, particularly on the wall surface.

  FIG. 4 is a drawing showing several embodiments of the wall surface of the sphagnum complex.

FIG. 4 (1) shows a longitudinal sectional view of the sphagnum complex 10 constructed on the wall surface 11. A water reservoir structure 131 made of a waterproof material such as plastic is fitted and arranged in a box-like structure 12 that is provided so as to protrude from the wall surface 11 and that is open at the top. Further, the water reservoir structure 131 is configured by combining a plate-like structure 132, and the plate-like structure 132 is fixed in contact with the wall surface 11. Further, the water reservoir structure 131 contains water 14. Reference numerals 15a to 15d represented by black circles in the figure are transverse cross sections of the linear members that are horizontally fixed (the distance between the linear members is about 5 to 10 cm). Aggregates 16 of dried sphagnum moss plants for water absorption are arranged in a water reservoir structure 131 together with water 14 in a lump. The aggregate 16a of the first dried sphagnum plant body is maintained in a suspended state by the hooking of the linear member 15a in the vicinity of the upper end with the lower end in contact with the dried sphagnum plant body 16. The aggregate 16b of the second dried sphagnum plant body is maintained in a suspended state by the latching in the linear member 15b with its lower end in contact with the vicinity of the upper end of the dried sphagnum plant body 16a. The aggregate 16c of the third dried sphagnum plant body is maintained in the suspended state by the latching in the linear member 15c with its lower end in contact with the vicinity of the upper end of the dried sphagnum plant body 16b. The aggregate 16d of the fourth dried sphagnum plant body is maintained in the suspended state by the latching in the linear member 15d with its lower end in contact with the vicinity of the upper end of the dried sphagnum plant body 16c. The grown sphagnum plant group 17 is formed on the aggregated surface of the dried sphagnum plant body formed along the wall surface 11 by the aggregates 16a to 16d of the dried sphagnum moss and arranged in the vertical direction. The stem portion is inserted and fixed in the gap formed between the individual dried sphagnum plants (the insertion density of the individual sphagnum plant is about 1 plant in 0.2 to ⁴ cm ^2. ). The water 14 is maintained in a wet state due to the excellent water absorption of the aggregates 16 and 16a to d of the dried sphagnum plant bodies, through which the grown sphagnum plant group 17 Water is continuously supplied to grow the sphagnum moss.

  It is noted that the density of the growing sphagnum plant body group 17 is sparse with respect to the vertical direction, for example, only in the vicinity of the aggregate 16 of the dried sphagnum plant body for water absorption. The stem of the growing sphagnum plant group 17 is exposed on the front surface of the sphagnum complex 10 by sequentially inserting the growing sphagnum plant into the inner side of the linear members 15a to 15d. It can be. In this embodiment, when the front surface is in the sunshine direction, the leaf portion branches from the stem portion of the grown sphagnum moss, so that the entire surface is covered with the plant body of the grown sphagnum moss. Thus, by lowering the planting density of growing sphagnum plants, the initial planting operation of growing sphagnum plants can be made more efficient.

  FIG. 4 (2) is a drawing simply showing an aspect 20 using a mesh member 25 instead of the linear members 15a to 15d of FIG. 4 (1). The net-like member 25 is provided with at least horizontal line members 25a to 25d, preferably vertical line members. When the vertical line member is provided, the average diameter of the mesh of the mesh is about 5 to 10 cm. The horizontal line member may be provided with a structure for facilitating the latching of the aggregates 26a to 26d of dried sphagnum plant bodies, for example, a fine corrugated structure. The water 23 is a collection of dried sphagnum plants 26 (dried sphagnum for water absorption), 26a to d (at least horizontal line members 25a to 25d, preferably a dried sphagnum plant body hung by the horizontal line member and the vertical line member). Due to the excellent water-absorbing power, the whole of these aggregates is kept in a wet state, and water is continuously supplied to the plant group 27 of the growing sphagnum through this, and the growing sphagnum is cured. .

  Further, in the same manner as described in the embodiment of FIG. 4 (1), the initial fixing density of the growing sphagnum plant body group 27 is sparse in the vertical direction, and the initial fixing work can be made efficient.

  FIG. 5 shows an example of a water circulation type wall surface greening system 30 by applying the sphagnum complex to a wall surface and using a more practical sphagnum wall surface (longitudinal sectional view).

  In the structure 31 forming the vertical surface, the back surface of the sphagnum complex 20 ′ according to the sphagnum complex 20 using the mesh member 25 shown in FIG. In the state of contact, it is fixed on the structure 34 having a vertical surface by the restraining force of the wall restraining members 33a to 33c. A water storage tank 35 is installed directly below the sphagnum complex 20 ′, and water 351 is always secured in a certain amount by supplying water from a water supply pipe 361 based on a signal from a water level sensor or the like. Is set. The water 351 in the water reservoir 35 is fixed from the shower nozzle 364 toward the complex 20 ′ in the vicinity of the upper end of the sphagnum complex 20 ′ through the pumping pump 362 and the pumping pipe 363. Supplied in volume / hour. The water 351 supplied to the upper end portion of the sphagnum complex 20 ′ supplied in this way is the aggregate 37 of dried sphagnum plant bodies constituting the complex 20 ′ [the drying in the embodiment of FIG. 4 (2). The sphagnum plant body group 38 is cured by spreading the sphagnum plant body aggregate 26 (corresponding to the dried water sphagnum plant body for water absorption) 26a to d) and continuously supplying the water. The excess water in the sphagnum complex 20 ′ returns to the water reservoir 35 and is used again in the system 30.
