摘要

The overdevelopment of the environment in modern times has caused damage to our natural habitat and water resources. The survival of many species has been impacted. The main goal of this study is to explore the effects of green energy landscape fountain (GLF) on ecological preservation. The study site is located on the shore of an open water area within the campus of Mingdao University. The study site consists of three water tanks, buried inland, 1.5 m away from the shoreline. An ecological comparison study was performed on the quality of water between the three tanks of water. GLF is a floating island sized 60 cm x 60 cm made of PVC pipes with electricity supplied by solar panels. Changes in numbers of species were documented over a period of one year spanning 4 seasons in 3 different bodies of water. The results showed that the water with GLF installed had more species of organisms. 10 different species of organisms such as Tetragnatha maxillosa, Polyrhachis dives, Araneus inustus, Ischnura senegalensis, Diaea subdola were found in the water with GLF installed. 7 species often used as benchmark indicators of water pollution were found in water without GLF installed. The findings demonstrate the benefits of GLF on improving species diversity and the quality of water. This study also provides information which can be applied on landscape architecture, architecture and ecology design and engineering in the future.
