Investigation and Analysis of Wild Vascular Plants in Wenshang County
Wild and terrestrial vascular plants in Wenshang County,Shandong province were investigated and ana-lyzed to understand the species and application value of local wild plant resources.Field investigation of the plant resources of the field samples was conducted by recording,photographing,and suppressing plant specimens,and the literature was reviewed to analyze the composition(families,genera and species),life type,and application value of plant.190 plant species or varieties were investigated,including 32 woody plants and 158 herbaceous plants,belonging to 54 families and 135 genera.Among them,one species of gymnosperms,one species of fern,and the rest are angiosperms.Among the 22 sample sites,Lotus Lake has the most investigated types.Tan Moun-tain,Pipa Mountain,and Ciqiu nursery are relatively more types.Other sampling sites have fewer plant species.There were 147 kinds of economic value plants,including edible,medicinal,ornamental and industrial use.There were 38 species of foreign invasive plants,and some species,such as Rhus typhina L.,form a single community in some places,which seriously affects the growth of other plants;some malicious invasive plants,such as Solidago canadensis L.,are mixed with other plants without forming a single community.Wenshang County has diverse ter-rain with rich plant species.The results can provide a reference for the protection of local wild plant resources,re-source utilization and control of invasive plants.
