Abstract: Taking Chengdu City as a typical park city of China, the alien plants and their distribution of wetland in Chengdu City were investigated. The diffusion potential of exotic plants was studied through the diffusion model. And the distribution and invasive potential were discussed by the distribution models. The results showed that there were 61 species of alien plants distribute in wetland of Chengdu City, most of the alien plants distribute in terrestrial land and there were 16 species of alien invasive plants of level 1. The alien invasive plant with the widest distribution was Alternanthera philoxeroides in aquatic and terrestrial environment, with a rate over 97%, the distribution rates of alien plants such as Erigeron sumatrensis, Trifolium repens, Erigeron annuus and Bidens pilosa were over 20% in terrestrial environment, but all alien plants did not heavily invade ecosystem and had a low distribution density. Some alien invasive plants with a high risk of invasion still had greater diffusion potential. It was found that Cyperus involucratus had a trend of diffusion from water to terrestrial environment. In the process of wetland construction and management in Chengdu City in the future, it was suggested to strengthen the artificial control of the alien invasive plants of level 1, to further study the effect of artificial intervention on the control of alien invasive plants, and to prevent the spread of Cyperus involucratus and other garden plants with lower invasive grade.
