and could get high aesthetic value. Landscape visual quality increases with the area
of water visible (Photo 15.2a–b).
Furthermore, the wave size not only affects people access to water, but also
affects the landscape aesthetic of water of coastal wetland. The smooth, sparking, or
small wave spring on the coastal wetlands that is more preferred and could make
high aesthetic value. On the contrary, the big waves might arouse people’s dangerous emotion, and people generally do not want to approach to coastal wetlands
(Photo 15.3a, b).
Photo 15.2a,b The visible water area has effect on ecological aesthetic. When
water area is covered by numerous aquatic plants that degrade water quality, and
water clarity, water color. Vertical stratification of vegetation affects animal communities; meanwhile that has a dominant influence on landscape room. The vertical
stratification location on middle-back ground (Photo 15.2a) could get high aesthetic
value than located on foreground (Photo 15.2b).
Photo 15.3a, b Wave size, it affects human’s perception of coastal wetland landscape. Compared to boiling wave, the calm or sparkling water might arouse people’s
safety and peace emotion. Wave disturbed suspended particles. The processing
affects the scattering of light, and water color, that also influence preference of
coastal wetland.
15.5.2 Water Edge
Wetland, itself has been considered as ecotones or ecotonal habitats; meanwhile a
nature water edge of wetland is one of main influence factor on healthy coastal
wetland. In general, the water edge of waterbody is related to the naturalness perception of landscape, and coherence and complexity in human cognition also could
be traced into this attribute.
The water edge means the status of shoreline that includes natural shoreline, and
the water edge is well defined by vegetation. The good quality water edge not only
has effect on landscape aesthetic, but also relates to the quality of waterbody (Photo
15.4a, b).
The water shoreline may be natural or artificial; bare, construction or planting.
The natural shoreline is more aesthetically pleasing than artificial, sharp straight
edges. Meanwhile the functions of natural shoreline and natural vegetation along
the shoreline of coastal wetland include water purification, erosion protection and
improved wildlife habitat etc.
Bare and arid shoreline enables people considers the wetland was threatened,
and have negative impacts on the quality of ecology and aesthetic. Aquatic and terrestrial planting seemed to blend into each other, or the shoreline planting is disordered. The obscure shoreline and waterbody would make people perception unsafe
in this setting, and dislike it. The shoreline is well defined by natural vegetation
would make high aesthetic value of coastal wetland.
