Study on Construction of Close-to-Nature Man-Made Plant Landscape Based on Natural Plant Communities: the Case of West Lake Scenic Area in Hangzhou

Abstract:

Urban close-to-nature plant community is a sustainable design and construction philosophy of landscape greenbelt planning. However, there is no explicit guide for constructing close-to-nature plant community Based on the analysis of community structure and characteristics of 10 typical natural plant communities in the West Lake Scenic Area in Hangzhou and summary of the features of natural community, as well as the analysis of plant landscape of Hangzhou Huagangguanyu Park to prove that the close-to-nature man-made plant community and natural plant community are interrelated in respect of vegetation composition and community structure, this paper puts forward to the essential construction methods of the close-to-nature landscape community, providing theoretical basis for research and construction of urban close-to-nature landscape plant community in China.
