地被植物是指能覆盖地面的低矮植物,不仅有草本植物,而且包括灌木和藤本植物。它们一般植株比乔木矮小,枝叶层紧密与地面相接,成群生长,覆盖地表面,对地面起着很好的保护作用,同时也起着装饰作用,具有良好的生态效益。草坪依其性质来说,也是地被植物,但通常另列一类。 Ground coverings are low plants that cover the ground, not only herbs, but also shrubs and vines. They are generally shorter plants than trees, branches and leaves close to the ground phase, growing in groups, covering the ground surface, plays a very good protective effect on the ground, but also play a decorative role, with good ecological benefits. The lawn, by its very nature, is also a ground cover plant, but usually one more.
