Article Preview

Abstract:

The application of lianas to uban vertical planting has become increasingly important as a focus of urban environmental and landscape management. The objective of this study was to analyze the lianas application in Haizhu district, Guangzhou city. The study showed its disadvantages of lack of more spieces, simplicity of application form, poor study of physiological and ecological characteristics and lack of management in lianas of urban greening which was attributed to low important focus on lianas appliaction in the last decades in this district. A few pieces of advice were put foward to improve the situation. It is expected that more lianas green spaces will provide environmental services and landscape beauty.
