湛江红树林气候变化综合风险评估

Comprehensive risk assessment of mangroves in Zhanjiang under climate change

  • 摘要: 生长在热带、亚热带海岸潮间带的红树林是对气候变化最敏感的海岸带生态系统之一,气候变化已严重影响全球红树林的生存和分布特征。本研究基于政府间气候变化专门委员会(Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, IPCC)气候变化综合风险理论构建的红树林评估指标体系,利用文献资料、现场补充调查资料、遥感影像和模式模拟等数据,评估了在温室气体低、中等和很高排放情景(RCP2.6、 RCP 4.5、 RCP 8.5, 简称RCPs)下到2030、 2050、 2100年时广东湛江红树林国家级自然保护区内红树林的气候变化综合风险等级,并提出了发展具有气候恢复力的红树林适应策略。结果表明:①RCPs情景下,缓发的海平面上升叠加突发的热带气旋引起的致灾因子危害性随时间和温室气体排放浓度的增大而增大,到2100年,雷州半岛南部红树林的致灾因子危害性最大。②保护区内红树林暴露度和脆弱性较高的地区为企水港、海康港、流沙港片区。③比较相同时段红树林的综合风险等级,RCP8.5情景>RCP4.5情景>RCP2.6情景;在RCP8.5情景下,到2100年,综合风险等级为高、很高的红树林占湛江红树林总面积的91.54%。④到2100年,海平面上升将可能导致约12.34%(RCP2.6)、 22.67%(RCP4.5)和26.87%(RCP8.5)的红树林被淹没。基于不同的综合风险特征,需对不同区域的红树林生境采取有针对性的保护与修复措施,如构筑生物护岸、提升捕沙促淤能力、补种本地物种,从而增强红树林的气候恢复力,为红树林的气候风险管理提供科学参考。

     

    Abstract: Mangroves thriving in tropical and subtropical coastal intertidal zones, are one of the most climate-sensitive ecosystems. Climate change has profoundly impacted the survival and distribution patterns of global mangroves. This study applies the mangrove assessment index system, which is based on the comprehensive risk theory for climate change of Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), and uses literature review, on-site supplementary survey data, remote sensing images, and model simulations, to evaluate the comprehensive risk of mangrove posed by climate change in the Zhanjiang Mangrove National Nature Reserve in Guangdong Province under low (RCP2.6), medium (RCP4.5), and high (RCP8.5) greenhouse gas emission scenarios for 2030, 2050, and 2100, respectively. Additionally, adaptive strategies to enhance climate resilience in mangrove ecosystems are proposed. Results show that firstly, under all RCP scenarios, the hazard intensity caused by gradual sea level rise combined with abrupt tropical cyclones increases over time with higher greenhouse gas emission concentration, peaking in the southern Leizhou Peninsula by 2100. Secondly, the areas with high exposure and vulnerability of mangrove forests within the protected area are the Qishui Bay, Haikang Port, and Liusha Port areas. Thirdly, comparative risk levels of mangroves from high to low during the same period across scenarios can be listed in order of RCP8.5, RCP4.5, RCP2.6. Under the RCP 8.5 scenario, by 2100, mangroves with a comprehensive risk level of high or very high will account for 91.54% of the total area of mangroves in Zhanjiang. Fourthly, sea level rise may inundate approximately 12.34% (RCP2.6), 22.67% (RCP4.5), and 26.87% (RCP8.5) of mangroves by 2100. Tailored conservation and restoration measures—such as constructing biological revetments, enhancing sediment retention, and replanting native species—are recommended to improve mangrove climate resilience, offering scientific insights for climate risk management.
