Track 1-13: Monitoring and Managing Grass and Forage Biomass Resources at the Landscape Level
Publication Date
2013
Location
Sydney, Australia
Description
To date, the emphasis in snow-caused disasters that occur in pastoral areas in China has been in monitoring the change in the distribution of snow and in assessing livestock loss in post-disaster. The lack of an operational model and information system for real-time warning of snow dis-asters has made it difficult to make risk assessments and provide early snow disaster warnings (Liu et al. 2008). The aim of this study is to establish an indicator system for the early warning of snow-caused livestock disasters based on data collected from 2001 to 2010 on the Tibetan Plateau, China.
