Risks of Secondary Disasters and Its Impact on Nature Reserves and Natural Heritages in Jiuzhaigou Earthquake Area
[Obejective] The risks of secondary disasters and its impact on nature reserves and natural heritages in Jiuzhaigou earthquake area were studied in order to provide references for post-disaster recovery and reconstruction planning
as well as for nature reserves and natural heritages protection.[Methods] Based on land use data
DEM data
vegetation cover and natural protected area and heritage data
the spatial characteristics of ecological environment in Jiuzhaigou earthquake area were analyzed and the risk level of secondary disasters was assessed. Then
the risks of secondary disasters in nature reserves and natural heritage in earthquake area was assessed.[Results] The high earthquake intensity area was mainly located in the areas over 3 000 m altitude
where the land use was dominated by forest and grassland
and the mean vegetation coverage was up to 58%. The total area of high-risk zone accounted for about 30% of the study area
which mainly near to the fault zone and steeper slope zone. Nature reserves located in the central and south of the area
and most natural heritages located in high-risk zone
while the west and north regions were low-risk zone. To some extent
the secondary disasters aggravated the ecological risk of Jiuzhaigou scenic area and natural heritage.[Conclusion] The natural heritage areas
forest and grass and animal habitats were damaged by the earthquake with varying degrees
which had a serious impact on tourism in Jiuzhaigou scenic area. Therefore
Jiuzhaigou scenic area and Jiuzhaigou natural heritage should be the priority areas of restoration and reconstruction
and strengthen ecological protection and risk prevention.
