| Zusammenfassung |
| The opening up of China's industry towards market orientation has a distinct
impact on natural resources as well as on social structures. The example of
rubber introduction in Yunnan province (SW China) shows the mutual
interdependencies between economy, natural resources, and social structures.
We assess the impacts of rubber introduction and possible development paths
in the study area. An integrated modeling framework (NabanFrame) is developed
for the catchment of the Naban River (size 270 km2), a tributary to the
Mekong River. NabanFrame comprises an agro-economic, ecological, and social
model. Altogether they interact with a land-use change model via defined
interfaces. Effects on the water cycle are considered by additionally
integrating the spatially distributed rainfall-runoff and water balance model
AKWA-M® in the model framework. Therefore, a
reasonable parameterization is needed to assess the land-use changes on areal
water fluxes. The authors conclude that the chosen hydrological model is able
to assess the impacts of land conversion (from forest to rubber plantations)
on catchment hydrology and address further adaptations to be implemented in
the hydrological model. |
