Risk Assessment of Combined Stress of High Temperature and Drought on Summer Maize in Henan Province
In this paper,the risk assessment system for high temperature and drought combined stress of summer maize in Henan Province was constructed,and the weight distribution of drought comprehensive risk and high temperature comprehensive risk was calculated by using analytic hierarchy process (AHP). The paper also comprehensively evaluated the risk distribution from four aspects:the risk of disaster causing factors,the exposure of carriers,the vulnerability of disaster pregnant environment,and the ability of disaster prevention and reduction. The results show that the areas with high comprehensive risk of drought are mainly concentrated in the north of Henan Province,and the areas with high comprehensive risk of high temperature are mainly concentrated in the south of Henan Province. The comprehensive assessment system for drought and high temperature combined stress disasters of summer maize in Henan Province was constructed,and the weights of drought risk and high temperature risk were 0.4938 and 0.5062 respectively. The risk distribution of combined high temperature and drought stress was not closely related to latitude,but was also influenced by various factors such as natural conditions. Most parts of the province are in low-risk areas,and the high-risk areas are mainly concentrated in western Henan and a small part of the southwest. The evaluation results provide theoretical support for disaster prevention and reduction and ensuring the production of corn in Henan Province.
