“…Implications for the protection of residual forest patches and the evaluation of uniqueness the diversity and uniqueness of plant communities are fundamental attributes that support the ecological and landscape functions of park forests (Yücedağ and Aşik, 2023;Goddard et al 2009;Chan et al 2015;Wang et al 2019). The results of this study show that transforming residual forest patches into urban parks can increase the diversity of park woody plant communities compared to general urban parks.…”

In the process of urbanization, forest patches on hills are transformed into urban park forests, their functions changing from production to ecological and landscape. The diversity and uniqueness of plant communities support the ecological and landscape functions of parks, but there is a lack of indicators and methods to assess their uniqueness. We propose two evaluation indicators for woody plant community uniqueness in urban parks based on importance value (IV, the average of relative abundance, relative frequency, and relative dominance): the mean non-overlapping IV (MNIV) and the local contribution to beta diversity based on IV (LCBD1). Subsequently, we investigated and evaluated the diversity and uniqueness of woody plant communities in eight hill parks (Parks 1–8) in Qingdao. A total of 101 species were found, with an average of 23.88 ± 5.96 species per park. The Shannon-Wiener and Pielou indices were in the ranges of 1.42–3.13 and 0.48–0.91, respectively. Results from principal coordinate analysis and cluster analysis and the orders of MNIV and LCBD1 suggest that Parks 4 and 8 have the most unique woody plant communities. MNIV was significantly (P < 0.05) positively correlated with Shannon-Wiener and Pielou indexes, while LCBD1 was significantly (P < 0.05) positively correlated with local beta diversity based on species abundance. MNIV and LCBD1 were significantly (P < 0.05) negatively correlated with IV of Pinaceae and significantly (P < 0.05) positively correlated with IVs of Anacardiaceae, Cannabiaceae, and Ginkgoaceae plants. Therefore, diversities of woody plant communities from residual forest patches show great variations. The diversity and IVs of characteristic plants are key factors affecting uniqueness.

“…The structural changes in economic, social, cultural, and political areas due to rapid development process going on around the world accelerated the urbanization process, and caused the destruction of green spaces (Ucun Ozel et al, 2019). Rapid urbanization and industrialization have alienated people from nature a little more each day and disrupted the harmony that should exist among them and environment they live in (Ayan et al, 2021;Başbayraktar & Yücedağ, 2023;Yücedağ & Aşik, 2023). Humans, a part of nature, carry a piece of nature everywhere they live in, sometimes a houseplant, sometimes a small garden and sometimes a carefully-arranged park.…”

“…Humans, a part of nature, carry a piece of nature everywhere they live in, sometimes a houseplant, sometimes a small garden and sometimes a carefully-arranged park. At this point, rather than their direct benefits, trees and shrubs also provide indirect benefits for aesthetic and recreational purposes in parks, gardens and landscaping areas, and these are of great significance for human health (Yücedağ & Aşik, 2023).…”

With its impressive leaves and ability to resist harsh environmental conditions, Photinia × fraseri Dress., a hybrid species, is widely used in landscaping and has an ever-increasing economic and environmental value. The economic value of the landscape plants is directly proportional to their growth performance. For this reason, it is of great importance to identify and use the fastest growing ortet, especially in landscape plants in terms of cost and profitability. In this study, five ortets of P. × fraseri were compared in terms of their growth performances based on seedling height, root collar diameter, leaf length, leaf width, root length, root number, last shoot length, stem and root fresh-dry weights, and seedling fresh and dry weights. As a result of the study, it was found that the growth performances of five ortets in different districts were generally ranked as Eregli < Alapli < Ulus < Devrek < Zonguldak, and that the difference between the pairs of ortets in terms of some seedling characters reached up to 2.8 times. The study suggests that the selection of ortet is extremely important in seedling growth.
