Abstract: Based on the investigation of the Pinaceae plants in Beijing Botanical Garden, this paper used the method of analytic hierarchy process (AHP) to evaluate the landscape application of Pinaceae plant resources from the aspects of ornamental value, ecological characteristics and resistances. The results showed that the landscape application value was high such as Picea pungens f. glauca, P. koraiensis, etc.; some of the landscape application value was low such as Cedrus deodara‘Albospica’, C. deodara‘Aurea’, etc. Due to their ornamental characteristics and application forms, ten species were worthy of introduction in landscape application, which are Picea pungens f. glauca, P. koraiensis, P. wilsonii, P. meyeri, Abies holophylla, Pinus strobus, P. sylvestris, P. griffithii, P. koraiensis and Pseudotsuga menziesii. This method system was proved to be satisfied in flexibility and accuracy and it was a scientific foundation for exploiting and utilizing the coniferous resources of ornamental plants rationally.
