Abstract: To tackle three key issues prevalent in contemporary rural landscape design, low plant survival rates, high maintenance costs, and severe landscape homogenization, a closed-loop optimization model based on the Rhino-Plantkit graphical algorithm is proposed. This model adjusts critical parameters in real time through environmental response mechanisms. Specific applications include automatically adjusting planting density based on topography, optimizing light distribution in shaded areas, and coordinately regulating the color composition of plant communities. By employing intelligent algorithms, the system is able to harmonize ecological, functional, aesthetic, and cultural objectives within community planning. For instance, by preventing spatial conflicts caused by excessive planting density and optimizing light distribution. Field tests confirm that the approach significantly enhances environmental benefits (soil erosion reduced to 84mm/year, a 45.5% decrease), economic efficiency (maintenance frequency cut to 1.45 times/year, lowering full-cycle costs by 25.1%), and natural affinity (spatial conflict rate lowered to 0.09, color regional compatibility ΔE reaching professional-grade 3.97). This approach overcomes the fragmentation issues in traditional design across ecological adaptability, cultural heritage, and sustainability dimensions.
