Abstract:

Objective: The objectives are to study the scenic beauty in four seasons of typical plant communities along the Winter Olympics expressway, to explore the factors affecting the landscape in four seasons, and to provide a scientific basis for improving the quality of road forest landscape. Method: Taking the urban expressway and expressway among the venues of Winter Olympics in Beijing as the research object, 34 typical sample plots were selected to evaluate the beauty in four seasons. A landscape photo was randomly selected as a reference, and the scenic beauty estimation(SBE) in four seasons was calculated by Daniel & Boster's method. Based on the quantitative theory I, the landscape evaluation model of landscape factor category and SBE value and the comprehensive evaluation model of four seasons were established by stepwise regression of qualitative variables. Result: 1) The comprehensive factors affecting the landscape of the four seasons include stand density, hierarchical structure, patterns of composition of color-leaf plants, plant color and trunk visibility. The patterns of composition of color-leaf plants has the greatest influence, with a contribution rate of 24.5%. 2) Among the factors affecting the landscape in the three seasons, the hierarchical structure and the patterns of composition of the color-leaf plants are the landscape factors affecting three seasons of spring, autumn and winter. The patterns of composition of the color-leaf plants have the greatest impact on the landscape in autumn and winter, and the contribution rates were 22.57% and 21.91% respectively. Plant color is the landscape factor affecting spring, summer and winter, which has the greatest impact on the landscape in summer, with a contribution rate of 24.31%. 3) Among the factors affecting the landscape in spring and autumn, plant growth and forest edge line are the landscape factors in spring and autumn. The contribution rates of tree species richness to spring and winter are 9.28% and 5.64% respectively. The proportion of evergreen tree species has a higher impact on the landscape in summer and winter than the tree shape richness, and the contribution rate of the proportion of evergreen tree species to the landscape in summer is 22.01%. The contribution rates of native tree species to the landscape in summer and autumn are 6.92% and 11.89% respectively. 4)Among the landscape factors affecting one season, the contribution rate of stand cleanliness to spring landscape is 10.77%, the contribution rate of trunk display to autumn landscape is 9.12%, and the contribution rate of stand density to winter landscape is 6.5%. Conclusion: According to the contribution rate of different landscape factors to the landscape in four seasons, when improving the landscape quality, it is necessary to focus on the factors such as the existence mode, hierarchical structure, plant color, tree arrangement mode, proportion of evergreen tree species, branch color, plant growth status and so on. However, in addition to considering the selected landscape factors, it still needs to be optimized and improved according to the actual situation.
