- Abstract
To know the species composition, life form, seasonal features and application of woody landscape plants in Jinan City; woody landscape planrs in the city were investigated comprehensively The investigation shows that there arc 535 woody landscape plant species in the city in total (including variants, subspecies and cultivars), belonging to 199 genera of 77 families. Among the 535 species, there are 49 gymnospcrm species of 16 genera, 5 families, 486 angiospcrm species of 183 genera, 72 families (including 467 dicotyledon species of 174 genera, 69 families, 19 monocotyledon species of 9 genera, 3 families). The figures reflect rich woody landscape plants in Jinan City. There are 286 tree species, accounting for 53.4% of the total species; 216 shrub species, accounting for 40.4% of the total; 33 vine species, accounting for 6.2% of the total, thus tree and shrub species are diversified, while vine species arc limited. Among all tree species, there arc 103 evergreen species, accounting for 19.25% of the total; 432 deciduous species, accounting for 80.75% of the total; so deciduous tree species occupy a prominent position. Woody plants in Jinan City are applied in diversified forms, but seldom in innovative forms. Problems in the current application of woody landscape plants in the local area arc summarized as (a) there arc diversified tree species, but only a few of them are applied in high efficiency; (b) evergreen tree species are less used; (c) indigenous tree species are insufficiently used. Therefore, suggestions are given as (i) combine landscape plants scientifically; (ii) promote indigenous tree species; (iii) introduce and domestic new species actively. The investigation results provide scientific theoretical support for the sustainable utilization of woody plant resources in Jinan City.
