Evaluation of Eco-environmental Vulnerability of Pearl River Delta Based on PSR Model
[Objective] The spatio-temporal evolution characteristics and its reasons of eco-environmental vulnerability in the Pearl River delta were studied in order to provide theoretical basis for regional development.[Methods] The pressure-sensitivity-restoration (PSR) model
quantitative grading method and analytic hierarchy process (AHP)
as well as the combination of the eco-environmental vulnerability index were used to analyze the characteristics of eco-environmental vulnerability of the Pearl River delta at different periods. On this basis
the degree of influence of variable factors on differences in the spatio-temporal distribution of ecological vulnerability was analyzed with the help of factor detection of Geodetector.[Results] ① From 2000 to 2020
the eco-environmental vulnerability index ranged from 1.206 5~4.594 8
indicating slight vulnerability grade. ② In terms of spatial distribution
the vulnerability level was higher in the central part of the Pearl River delta and lower in the eastern and western. In addition
with the increase of elevation
the degree of eco-environment vulnerability tended to decrease on the whole
the proportion of moderate and severe vulnerability decreases. ③ Forest land exhibits potential and slight vulnerability grade
grassland showed moderate vulnerability
cultivated land
water and unused land are mainly located in mild vulnerability areas and construction land showed severe and moderate vulnerability grade. ④ The main factors influencing the spatial variation of eco-environmental vulnerability in the Pearl River delta were population density
NDVI and biological richness index.[Conclusion] Affected by the pressure of population growth
the eco-environmental vulnerability level of the Pearl River delta increased during the study period.
