The Development and Utilization of Climbing Plants in Urban Vertical Greening of Shanghai
Climbing plants demonstrate a particular habit of growth.There are numerous genera and species with diverse forms.Due to their small footprint,strong plasticity,and outstanding ecological benefits,climbing plants are particularly significant for urban vertical greening.Since the 1980s,researchers at Shanghai Botanical Garden have systematically introduced liana and vining resources on a large scale and engaged in research and three-dimensional greening practices related to climber introduction,breeding,cultivation,application,and other aspects.With the rise and rapid development of various three-dimensional greening methods such as bridge column greening,wall greening,roof greening,and family balcony greening in Shanghai,a variety of climbing plant and three-dimensional greening technologies have been developed at Shanghai Botanical Garden.These meth-ods have been widely used in urban three-dimensional greening and colorization,providing rich plant resources and technical support for enriching the urban vertical greening and less energy consumption.A megacity like Shanghai,with a dense popula-tion and limited space,needs more evergreen and climbing plants.These plants should be selected and bred;and the phenotypic plasticity and development trend of climbing plants in different planting environments should be quantified and simulated.Low-maintenance,movable,prefabricated modular containers seeded with climbing plants should be developed to enrich the diversity of urban vertical greening,and supported the construction of fast-growing green walls.
