“…Ecological design is an important approach in urban wetland conservation and restoration, where many ecological techniques, methods, and materials are widely used in the conservation and construction of urban wetlands (Semeraro et al 2015;Zhang et al 2020). The link between landscape ecological design and biodiversity conservation has been con rmed in previous studies (Salizzoni et al 2019; Di Giulio et al 2009).…”

Urban wetlands play a vital role within the urban ecosystem, and the application of ecological design methods in urban wetland planning and design can signi cantly enhance their biodiversity and improve the overall service functions of urban ecosystems. This study focuses on three urban wetlands: Xixi Wetland in the core area, Tongjian Lake Wetland in the fringe area, and Qingshan Lake Wetland in the suburban area. Meanwhile, four design factors of water quality protection, shoreline maintenance, ecological facilities, and plant diversity were investigated, together with 34 ecological design methods, based on statistics of the plant species composition of urban wetlands. Using structural equation modeling to screen out the design methods and in uence paths that have an appreciable impact on plant diversity. We found variations in the three urban wetlands' plant compositions and ecological design strategies: (1) 336 species of plants were recorded in Xixi Wetland, 179 in Qingshan Lake Wetland, and 112 in Tongjian Lake Wetland; (2) the number of ecological design methods applied in Xixi Wetland is signi cantly higher than that of Tongjian Lake Wetland and Qingshan Lake Wetland; (3) ten ecological design methods in Qingshan Lake wetland signi cantly affected plant diversity, while ve ecological design methods in both Xixi Wetland and Tongjian Lake wetland signi cantly affected plant diversity; (4) among all the ecological design methods, four-ecological conservation measures, rain gardens, plant community structure, and the use of different plant species-clearly impact wetland plant diversity. To ensure the protection, differential utilization, and sustainable development of urban wetlands in the context of urbanization, managers and designers should carefully select appropriate ecological design methods based on the speci c characteristics of each urban wetland.

“…Urban wetlands are an important part of urban ecosystems, performing valuable ecological service functions for urban residents, including water source conservation and water purification to improve water quality (Chen et al 2016, Mi 2022. In light of the increasing attention paid to the protection and construction of urban wetlands in recent years, some damaged urban wetlands have been repaired, thus improving the health of wetland landscapes and ecosystems (Salizzoni et al 2019. It should be stressed that the diverse habitats in urban wetlands are vital for the survival of animals and plants in urbanized areas (Hansson et al 2005, Murry 2019).…”

“…Ecological design and restoration have been deployed as part of urban wetland protection and construction efforts (Semeraro et al 2015, Zhang and. For example, the application of various ecological technologies and methods and the use of ecological materials play an important role in improving urban wetland biodiversity (Salizzoni et al 2019, Xu et al 2019. The overarching goal of urban wetland protection and management is to synergistically improve ecological benefits and landscape effects.…”

“…The overarching goal of urban wetland protection and management is to synergistically improve ecological benefits and landscape effects. Notably, researchers have observed a link between the use of ecological design methods to improve biodiversity and public aesthetic preferences (Soliva and Hunziker 2009) and landscape design (Di Giulio et al 2009, Salizzoni et al 2019, such as how tourists are attracted to increased plant diversity (Zhang and Wang 2017). Additionally, the design of natural habitat methods helps to increase regional biodiversity (Kummerling and Muller 2012) and improve wetland landscape quality.…”

Urban wetlands constitute an integral part of urban ecosystems. Unsurprisingly, wetland landscapes affect the frequency with which urban residents visit wetland areas. Objectively evaluating the beauty of landscapes and exploring the factors that influence their perceived beauty can inform urban wetland landscape design. This study selects three wetlands located in the core, fringe, and suburban areas of Hangzhou, respectively: Xixi wetland, Tongjian Lake wetland, and Qingshan Lake wetland. To explore the impact of ecological design techniques on the scenic beauty of wetlands, the selected wetlands were used to conduct field investigations. In addition, the wetland landscapes were submitted to public evaluations using scenic beauty estimation (SBE). At the same time, the factors affecting the beauty of the wetland landscape were quantified using the semantic differential (SD) method, and the impact paths of ecological design and plant diversity on scenic beauty were analyzed through the structural equation model (SEM). The results indicated that plant richness, cultural expression, color harmony, and coordination of landscape elements have both a significant and positive impact on the scenic beauty of urban wetlands. By way of contrast, habitat diversity had a significant yet negative impact. Across the three urban wetlands, ecological design techniques were found to significantly improve plant diversity and scenic beauty. This study demonstrated that the application of well-thought-out ecological design methods was conducive to the integration of environmental protection, landscape aesthetics, and the sustainable utilization of urban wetlands in the rapid urbanization process, providing a reference for urban wetland landscape conservation, planning, and design.
