Abstract

The amphibian habitat is impacted seriously by the Wenchuan earthquake.Three amphibians habitat was analyzed based on remote sensiong before and after the earthquake.The results showed that 15.2% of amphibian habitat was severely impacted.Most destroyed habitat centralized between latitude 31°~32°N which were in south and center areas.Furthermore,100% of the destroyed habitat were distributed under 2000 m.The survival and flourish of amphibians were confronted with the strike of secondary disasters in the future.
