Abstract:Grasslands have been increasingly impacted by human activities, gradually becoming one of the most threatened ecosystems globally. Advanced geographic information technology and remote sensing techniques allow for a fresh perspective on studying the response of the grassland degradation index (GDI) to climate change. This study utilized remote sensing image data of grasslands to calculate the vegetation coverage and derive the GDI for five grassland regions of China from 2001 to 2019. The results indicate that… Show more
