Abstract: To investigate the greening characteristics and ecological effects of villages situated in different terrain types within the context of rural revitalization, 26 representative villages (including 3 plain villages, 7 hilly villages and 16 mountainous villages) in Jiande City, Zhejiang Province were selected as research objects. By integrating field surveys with remote sensing image interpretation, the greening patterns and plant diversity characteristics of villages across different terrains were systematically analyzed. The results showed that:(1)The total greening coverage reached 42.37%, exhibiting a significant topographical differentiation pattern, the internal greening coverage was highest in plain villages (28.99%), while the peripheral greening coverage were higher in hilly and mountainous villages, reaching 31.01% and 53.34%, respectively.(2)A total of 60 plant species were documented, belonging to 46 genera and 31 families, among which native species accounted for 86.67%, with Rosaceae (9 species) and Theaceae (4 species) being the dominant families.(3)Analyses of biodiversity indices revealed that plant diversity levels in plain and hilly villages were significantly higher than those in mountainous villages primarily due to the diversified composition of ornamental plants in the former and the predominant monoculture pattern of economic forests in the latter. (4) Hierarchical cluster analysis divided villages into two clusters: low-diversity (predominantly mountainous) and high-diversity (plain or hilly) clusters. These findings demonstrated that the greening patterns and vegetation configuration in Jiande’s villages were distinctly adapted to the terrains. Based on these results, it is recommended that mountainous villages optimize the internal space utilization and develop mixed forest models, while plain villages should focus on enhancing landscape heterogeneity. These findings provide scientific basis for village greening planning and ecosystem management, particularly highlights challenges in mountainous vegetation conservation. Future research is suggested to further explore the dynamic relationships between greening and biodiversity through long-term monitoring and diversity analyses.
