Abstract
The habitats characteristics of Wedelia prostrata were investigated to compile basic data for conservation and restoration. Natural habitats were located at inclinations of $1-40^{\circ}$. Thirty eight vascular plants were identified from 19 quadrats in 7 habitats. The importance value of Wedelia prostrata is 44.77% and 5 highly ranked species such as Vitex rotundifolia(13.32%), Carex pumila(6.75%), Calystegia soldnella(4.24%), Aster hispidus(2.54%) and Artemisa capillaris(2.43%) are considered to be an affinity with Wedelia prostrata in their habitats. Species diversity was 0.79, and dominance and evenness were found to be 0.25 and 0.67, respectively. Average field capacity was 4.51%, the organic matter was 3.37%, pH was 8.17, available phosphorus was $1.33{\mu}g/g$, and electrical conductivity was $802.01{\mu}s/cm$.
