Abstract

Abstract:

As a quintessential urban green space, Shanghai Guangfulin Country Park plays a certain role in the functionality and services of urban ecosystems through the seasonal variation and diversity of its native herbaceous plant communities. This study conducted comparative surveys of the herbaceous plant communities in the park during spring and autumn to analyze the seasonal characteristics of the plant communities, the seasonal differences in species diversity indices, and the impact of varying management intensities on their community structure and ecosystem service functions. The findings indicated that biodiversity and functional diversity were significantly higher in areas with weak human disturbance compared with those under intense management, suggesting that reducing human interference contributed to biodiversity restoration. This research offers a basis for ecological restoration and sustainable management of urban green spaces, and has certain significance for promoting the health and sustainability of urban ecosystems.

Key words: urban ecosystems, herbaceous plant communities, seasonal variation, species diversity, ecosystem service functions, management intensity
