Wang et al.: Study on ecological risk assessment of different land use types based on HMER model – taking the Daxia River in Gansu, China as an example - 13341 - STUDY ON ECOLOGICAL RISK ASSESSMENT OF DIFFERENT LAND USE TYPES BASED ON HMER MODEL – TAKING THE DAXIA RIVER IN GANSU, CHINA AS AN EXAMPLE WANG, S. – ZHANG, C.* – JI, H. – ZHANG, Y. – LOU, T. College of Computer Science & Engineering, Northwest Normal University, Lanzhou 730070, China *Corresponding author e-mail: [email protected] (Received 10th Jun 2019; accepted 28th Aug 2019) Abstract. The effective heavy metal content of soil indicates ecological environmental risks. The study takes the typical watershed area in northwestern China as a research area. The real-time and rapid risk assessment of ecological environment can be achieved through the monitoring value of normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) of remote sensing information and environmental factors, and a heavy metal ecological risk assessment model (HMER) for the evaluation of the watershed is built. The research results show that the change of the effective heavy metal content in different areas of the watershed is affected to some extent by the influence of geographical location and human activities. Among them NDVI and the content of heavy metals, precipitation and temperature, and a nonlinear relationship between the average heavy metal content and the ecological risk index HRI. The establishment of HMER research model is applied to different land use types to evaluate the ecological risk level of the watershed, explore the ecological risk level of different land use types in the same region, and in different regions. -
