The use of native plants and the improvement of biodiversity are important trends in urban planting projects of advanced countries in the world in recent years. Selecting suitable native plant species is the basic work of the city's green infrastructure. The research was designed to identify suitable native plant species of Taipei City through a hierarchical process of the followings: (1) To compile a complete list from relevant reports; (2) To establish a usable list by removing species that are exotic or unsuitable due to other concerned factors; (3) To establish a recommended list of suitable species by inviting experts to vote; (4) To establish a verified list considering the purpose of planting and the availability of seedlings. Based on the opinions and consensus of 38 experts, 25 species were recommended for All Seasons Scenic District, 80 species for Native Plant District, and 58 species for Butterfly and Flower District. The following 8 plant species, Bretschneidera sinensis, Crateva adansonii subsp. formosensis, Gordonia axillaris, Gardenia jasminoides, Chionanthus retusus, Michelia compressa, Benthamidia japonica var. chinensis, and Styrax formosana were recommended by more than half of the experts in all 3 districts and should be prioritized for planting. By comparing the recommended list with currently planted species in Taipei City, we found that Bretschneidera sinensis, Machilus thunbergii, and Aristolochia foveolata have not yet been planted. For species that do not have availabe seedlings, establish nurseries for the production of robust and graceful seedlings are recommended. Selecting suitable native plant species for Taipei City, helps to achieve the sustainable goals of promoting planting native plants, greening the urban landscape, and enhancing biodiversity in the urban environment. The method of hierarchical screening and expert consensus recommendation proposed in this article provides a feasible model for the planning of plant species in other cities or regions. |
