Reference Plot: Find an Untouched Area Nearby

A juxtaposed comparison. On one side, a well-preserved native vegetation area near the site: a secondary forest landscape, riparian plants along an unmanaged stream, and coastal sand dune vegetation; on the other side, the designed site. The plant composition, height layers, and density of both are consistent, as the design is copied from the reference area. Species, proportions, and even the way stones are stacked are derived from the local site. Avoid: using a plant list unrelated to the surrounding vegetation, making the designed plantings neater than the reference area, ignoring local geological and soil conditions, or directly applying ecological designs from other climate zones.

一組並置的對照畫面。一邊是基地附近保存良好的原生植群:一片次生林的林相、一段未整治溪流的岸邊植物、一塊海岸的砂地植群;另一邊是設計中的基地。兩者的植物組成、層次高度與密度是一致的,因為設計是照著那塊參考樣區抄的。物種、比例、甚至石頭的堆疊方式都來自現地。避免:使用與周邊植群無關的植物名單、讓設計的植栽比參考樣區整齊、忽略當地的地質與土壤條件、直接套用其他氣候區的生態設計。
