Abstract:Linpan is a complex ecosystem, its widely distributed in Chengdu plain. As a traditional rural settlement unit, its ecological and cultural functions with local characteristics has various and important ecological service value. To reveal the mechanism of formation and change in ecosystem services, it is necessary to identify the plant species and their distribution characteristics in Linpan. Simultaneously, it can provide scientific inputs for their protection and transformation. In the present study, the composition of plantspecies in Linpan, and their distribution characteristics was analyzed by field surveys using small unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), the survey included different regions, sizes, coverage, and structure Linpan. The results showed that:(1) most of Linpan has a small area (approximately 6678.87 m2), which arechanging with regular morphology and different vegetation coverage (43.58%-76.9%). Linpan was made up of Plant, housing, and other landscape. (2)A total of 310 plants speciesbelonging to 254 genera and 106 families were found in the survey area. Among them, 279 species, accounting for 76.13% of the total plant species were native plants of Chengdu, among which, 35 species(11.29%) were introduced from other regions of China, and 39 species, accounting for 12.58% were introduced from foreign countries. (3)Linpan had all the 15 areal-types of Chinese seed plant genera. Among them, the north temperate elements and pantropical plants were the main type accounting for 22.31% and 16.12% of the species respectively. The ratio of the tropic to the temperate species was approximately 1:1. (4)Similarly, Linpan distributed along the far-suburb had the highest species diversity(P < 0.05), than the Linpan located on the other areas; There is a significant positive correlation(P < 0.05) between species diversity and Linpan area, However, no clear relationship exists with vegetation cover level. There was a correlation between the plant species and the interior structure of Linpan. In general, there was more plant species in Linpan with with more civil structures, and significant (P < 0.05) differences among medium-high and low proportions of Linpan.
