| After a rainstorm and mountain torrents in the urban area of Baoji, low-lying areas experienced 10~15 days of water accumulation. This study investigated water-logging damage to woody plants in parks, roadside greenbelts, residential areas, and institutional green spaces located in these flood-prone zones. Based on external growth responses, such as changes in leaves and branches, classification criteria for water-logging tolerance levels of woody garden plants were established. Using these criteria, 58 woody garden plant species were evaluated, classified, and ranked according to their tolerance. The characteristics and patterns of damage caused by 10~15 days of inundation were analyzed, and recommendations were made for post-flood restoration measures and for selecting and applying plant species in urban greening projects in flood-prone environments. |
