Abstract A survey on biological diversity of wild herbaceous ground cover plants at Tsinghua University Campus in spring was conducted in order to provide reference for reasonable use of herbaceous ground covers. Different community groups of wild herbaceous ground cover plants were classified.A total of 54 species of herbaceous ground covers were recorded at Tsinghua University Campus, which belong to 48 genus and 22 families. The species abundance increased due to the increasing plant species over time, and all-optical environment exhibited the highest species abundance followed by semi-shade conditions and fll-shade conditions. Simpson index, Shannon-Wiener index and Pidou evenness index also showed the same trend.The wild herbaceous gmuIld cover plants at Tsinghua University Campus can be divided into eight groups by TWIN-SPAN:groups of whitenower lagopsis herb, hedge glorybind+whitenower lagopsis herb+common Vetch, sowthlisde leaf ixeris, gadand chrysanthemum, Tokvo violet herb+pedunculate trigonotis herb+sowthistle leaf ixeris, Violet orychopragmus+ India mockstrawberry, Tokyo violet herb, aIld Luceme.
