Plant Landscape Design of Small Wetlands in Haikou City from the Perspective of Bird Habitat
To enhance the ecological function of small wetlands in Haikou and provide more suitable habitats for birds from the perspective of plant landscape,this study conducts a survey of plant and bird communities at 20 small wetlands in Haikou and used the analytic hierarchy process(AHP)to evaluate the relationships between plant diversity,species correlation,landscape characteristics,plant configuration,and bird diversity.The results show that a total of 112 bird species are recorded in the survey,in which more than 50% belong to the orders of Passeriformes,Pelecaniformes,and Anseriformes and Egrets is the main species.The dominant habitats for these birds are dense forests,shrublands,and grasslands.A total of 191 plant species in 55 genera of 41 families are recorded,and dicotyledonous plants are the dominant species.Based on the importance values of species and the diversity index of communities,30 species of woody,shrubby,and herbaceous plants that are suitable for bird habitats and landscaping are selected and identified.On this basis,the establishment models of 14 plant community that are suitable for bird habitats are proposed from the bird habitat perspective,including dense forest habitats,sparse forest habitats,shrubland habitats,grassland habitats,and water habitats.
