As a product of long-term interaction between the production and lifestyle of nomadic people and ecological environment system of grassland,the cultural and ecological characteristics of nomadic ecological mechanism,such as mobility,interactivity and symbiosis,have brought not only certain vulnerability,but also considerable flexibility to the nomadic society.The interaction between the herdsmen and the grassland is the basis for nomadic ecological mechanism of the grassland to avoid environmental risks,overcome human vulnerability and create social flexibility.Therefore,the integration of ecological mechanism of the grassland is intertwined with the nomadic social structure.Historically,the social structural relations among the chieftain,temples and tribes in the Amdo pastoral area is not only a product of a political system,but also a result of the adaptation of the local nomadic society to the biodiversity,richness and environmentally sensitive vulnerabilities of the Zoige wetland grassland.As a result,Amdo nomadic society has accumulated rich experience and social resources to deal with disasters.With the rapid transformation of social modernization since the 20 century,especially a series of profound social changes such as democratic reform,grassland collectivization,grassland contracting to households,fence grazing and herdsmen settlement projects since 1950 s,the traditional social structure of the Amdo pastoral area has undergone dramatic historical changes,and its original grassland nomadic ecological mechanism has also changed.Today,the increasingly serious grassland desertification,grassland degradation,damage caused by wolfs and rats and epidemic diseases in the Zoige grassland indicate a dramatic environmental risk and human vulnerability after the nomadic society undergoes transformation of social modernization.By analyzing the interactive ecological relationship between the traditional social form of tribes and the natural environment of grassland,this study tries to figure out the changes in the local herdsman's life caused by the entry of modern administrative state power and market commodities after democratic reform.Based on the field investigation of the ecological environment and the status quo of the herdsman's life in the Zoige grassland,this study,from the perspective of social change,will analyze man-made causes of disaster in the high and cold wetland grassland on the eastern edge of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau.The empirical study on vulnerability analysis and flexibility building of nomadic ecological mechanism is carried out in order to discover the factors of vulnerability in this mechanism and the conditions for its flexibility building.At the same time,the author hopes this paper provide some meaningful reference for the sustainable development of social economy and the construction of ecological civilization of grassland pastoral areas in contemporary China.
