Abstract:1 363 communities of greenways including road greenways,river greenways and green belt were surveyed based on field investigation in Wuhan City.142 plant species belonging to 58 families and 110 genera were recorded.Rosaceae,Oleaceae,Gramineae,Magnoliaceae and Cupressaceae are dominant families.The propotion of local species is 52.8% and that of exotic species is 47.2%.The ratio of tree,shrub and herb are 1.00∶1.58∶0.60,and the ratio of ever-green and deciduous species is nearly 1∶1.The phaenerophyte is absolutely dominant life-form.The applied frequency of Camphor tree［Cinnamomum camphora(L.)］ is the highest among tree species,and that of Loroprtalum chinensis is the highest in shrub species.Evergreen broadleaved forest and deciduous broadleaved forest are dominant vegetation types.Regular forests with arbor are main types.Light favored plants,acidophilous plants,eutrophyte plants and weak-resistant plants grow poorly.
