Health Assessment of Gahai Wetland Ecosystem of South Gansu Province Based on PSR Modeling
[Objective] The ecosystem health of Gahai wetland of South Gansu Province was comprehensively evaluated in order to provide a scientific basis for the management and sustainable development of the wetland.[Methods] Using PSR mathematical model
18 evaluation indexes were selected from three aspects including pressure
state and response
to construct the health evaluation system of Gahai wetland. Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) was used to determine the weight of indicators and to analyze the ecosystem health index.[Results] The health index of the Gahai wetland ecosystem was 0.588 1
which belonged to the sub-health state
and the health index of the pressure subsystem was 0.733 2
which belonged to the health state. The health indexes of the state and the response subsystem were 0.489 3 and 0.567 9
respectively
both of which belonged to sub-health states.[Conclusion] Global climate change and human disturbance have seriously threatened the health of the wetland ecosystem in Gahai. wetland Scientific protection and restoration measures are urgently needed to improve the level of wetland management.
