In urban wetland ecological system plants are important components, and plant landscape is one of the themes of landscape in the urban wetland and it is even the basic support of wetland ecosystem. The paper takes China Yangzhou Sanwan Wetland Park as a case, starting from maintaining wetland system ecological balance to protecting wetland functions and biodiversity, and realizing the sustainable use of the resources. Based on excavating the culture resources in Yangzhou, it also comprehensively utilizes natural wetland resources, surrounding natural and humanity resources to make a cultural and green plants group. So that we can build an urban wetland ecological system with “rhyme” and “green field”.

Over 300,000 ha of forested wetlands have undergone restoration within the Mississippi Alluvial Valley region. Restored forest successional stage varies, providing opportunities to document wetland functional increases across a large-scale restoration chronosequence using the Hydrogeomorphic (HGM) approach. Results from >600 restored study sites spanning a 25-year chronosequence indicate that: 1) wetland functional assessment variables increased toward reference conditions; 2) restored wetlands generally follow expected recovery trajectories; and 3) wetland functions display significant improvements across the restoration chronosequence. A functional lag between restored areas and mature reference wetlands persists in most instances. However, a subset of restored sites have attained mature reference wetland conditions in areas approaching or exceeding tree diameter and canopy closure thresholds. Study results highlight the importance of site selection and the benefits of evaluating a suite of wetland functions in order to identify appropriate restoration success milestones and design monitoring programs. For example, wetland functions associated with detention of precipitation (a largely physical process) rapidly increased under post restoration conditions, while improvements in wetland habitat functions (associated with forest establishment and maturation) required additional time. As the wetland science community transitions towards larger scale restoration efforts, effectively quantifying restoration functional improvements will become increasingly important.
