Study on the Ecological Functionality of Plant Resources in Landscape Design
This study delves into the ecological functionality of plant resources within urban landscape design,fo-cusing on their roles in mitigating urban heat island effects,improving air quality,and enhancing biodiversity.A comparative analysis of the greening strategies in Shanghai and New York City's Central Park reveals the crucial role of plant arrangement in improving urban environmental quality.The research highlights Shanghai's effective use of limited space through vertical and rooftop greening strategies,while Central Park in New York maintains its ecosystem through extensive biodiversity.Additionally,this study discusses best practices in plant configuration,including the right plant for the right place,diversity principles,and sustainable management.This research pro-vides practical guidance for urban planners and environmental scientists on how to address urban environmental challenges through landscape design and emphasizes the importance of using plant resources wisely to improve ur-ban ecosystems and enhance the quality of life for residents during rapid urbanization.This offers valuable insights and references for urban ecological construction.
