摘要: Due to climate warming, extreme precipitation events have intensified in frequency and intensity. This trend has raised significant concerns about its impact on natural reserves in eastern China's monsoon region. A risk assessment is, therefore, needed to evaluate the vulnerability of these protected areas. Based on observed and simulated daily precipitation data, this study analyzed the spatiotemporal trends of heavy rainfall in the eastern monsoon region of China and assessed the exposure risk of the protected areas to rainstorm events both in the historical and future periods. Results indicate that the annual average number of heavy rainfall days gradually increases from northwest to southeast, displaying a distinct zonal distribution pattern. The proportion of heavy rainfall days to total precipitation days and the average intensity of heavy rainfall show peak centers in the southeastern coastal areas, western Sichuan region, and North China Plain, with minimum values observed in the northwestern direction. Protected areas in China's Eastern Monsoon Region display a north-south gradient of precipitation exposure risk that intensifies from historical (1995-2014) to near future (2031-2050) to far future (2081-2100) under SSP245 scenario, with highest vulnerability in southeastern coastal areas. National reserves generally experience lower exposure than provincial and municipal ones, though all categories face increasing precipitation risks over time.
