Quantitative Evaluation of Plant Priority Protection in Liangzi Lake Wetland Nature Reserve

Abstract

Based on the field survey data and relevant literatures, the evaluation index system of plant priority protection, which consists of threatened coefficient, genetic coefficient and species coefficient was established. Quantitative study and comprehensive evaluation of plant resources in Liangzi Lake Nature Reserve were carried out, and protection levels were classified. The results showed that there were 254 plant species in nature reserve, including 18 endangered species, 46 vulnerable species, 76 lower risk species and 114 safety species. The coefficients of threatened, genetic and species were analyzed and calculated by the indexes and proportion weights. The priority protection order of plants was determined, including 12 species of the first class conservation, 18 species of the second class conservation, 33 species of the third class conservation and 191 species of the delayed conservation. The corresponding protection suggestions were put forward. The purpose is to provide theoretical guidance for plant protection work and to help protect biodiversity of Liangzi Lake Nature Reserve.
