Abstract: The adaptation of plants to environment is mainly to increase their fitness. Due to the presence ofselective pressure, plants have to make adaptive responses,which constitute life history strategy.Life history strategy is the core of population biology of plants. In this paper, key selective pres-sures from one dimention to multiple dimensions and life history strategies related to them,life history strategies in each phase of the life cycle of plants from fruiting, disporsal, germinationand seedling to development were discussed.

Key words: artificial reef, energy flow, system attribute, Ecopath model.
