- Abstract:
-
Based on IPCC definition of vulnerability, a risk assessment model of summer maize vulnerability to drought was established from the perspectives of exposure, sensitivity and adaptability by using the data of weather,planting area and yield of summer maize of 23 stations in He’nan Province, and summer maize vulnerability was zoned and analyzed by ArcGIS. The result showed that high and sub high drought vulnerability zones of summer maize were mainly located in west He’nan,northwest of south He’nan and parts of central He’nan, the medium and low zones were mainly located in Nanyang Basin and eastern plain of He’nan. From the three elements of vulnerability, west He’nan belongs to the weak zone. In west He’nan, the drought dangerousness index, sowing ratio of summer maize and environmental sensitivity are higher than those of the whole province, meanwhile, adaptability is relatively weak. Therefore, the region should focus on regional disaster prevention and mitigation investment, optimizing the planting structure. The drought vulnerability index and average relative meteorological yield are significantly correlated after testing, the correlation coefficient is -0.578. The model constructed in this paper can reflect the influence of drought on summer maize production. The results can provide scientific basis for disaster prevention and disaster reduction management.
