Abstract:

Hydrodynamic characteristic is an important reference to select vegetation material of ecological revetment engineering. In this paper, embankment will be divided into bottom-protection zone, key-protection zone, hydrophilic zone, landscape zone according to hydrodynamic characteristics of different water levels. Vegetations adapting to different protection area analyzed and discussed. With the example of ecological revetment in Naji reservoir in Guangxi, China, vegetation selection on different protection zone is demonstrated.
