Abstract

As urbanization accelerates, urban biodiversity faces significant challenges. Optimizing plant configurations in urban green spaces has become a key strategy to enhance biodiversity. This study focused on the effect of plant configuration optimization strategy on biodiversity improvement in urban green spaces. The biodiversity within the existing plant configuration model was analyzed through field research on various types of urban green space, including park green spaces, road green spaces, and residential green spaces. The results show that scientific and reasonable plant configuration strategies can significantly improve the biodiversity of urban green spaces. The methods proposed in this paper include increasing local plant species, constructing multi-level plant communities, and creating heterogeneous habitats. On the one hand, native plants are well-suited to local ecosystems, offering habitats and food sources for native organisms. On the other hand, multi-level plant communities increase the complexity of spatial structure and provide living space for organisms with different ecological niches. Creating a variety of habitats is beneficial for addressing the specific needs of diverse organisms. The purpose of this study is to provide scientific basis for urban planners and landscape designers to formulate more effective plant configuration strategies, and ultimately promoting the protection and development of urban biodiversity.
