[0054] The present application will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0055] As shown in Figure 1 , the biodiversity survey and monitoring method based on satellite remote sensing and environmental DNA sequencing comprises:
[0056] Step S1, obtaining habitat remote sensing data and environmental DNA data.
[0057] As shown in Figure 2 , obtaining habitat remote sensing data and environmental DNA data comprises:
[0058] Step S11, multi-spectral, hyper-spectral and thermal infrared imaging monitoring of the monitoring area by satellite remote sensing to obtain habitat remote sensing data, wherein the habitat remote sensing data includes but is not limited to: vegetation cover type, normalized vegetation index, enhanced vegetation index, land surface temperature, water body distribution, topographic features and human activity traces.
[0059] In the embodiment, the remote sensing image data covers a complete ecological cycle (at least 12 months) to comprehensively monitor seasonal changes, and the spatial range of the remote sensing image should include the monitoring area and a buffer zone of 1 km outside the monitoring area to obtain relevant information of the surrounding environment. In order to ensure the high quality of the data, cloud screening should ensure that qualified images with a cloud cover of less than 20% are retained.
[0060] In step S12, high-resolution multispectral images are used for supervised classification of vegetation coverage types, hyperspectral data are used to extract vegetation biochemical parameters, and thermal infrared band data are used to retrieve land surface temperature.
[0061] In the embodiment, according to the spectral characteristics of the vegetation, a band combination that can best reflect the differences between the vegetation is selected, wherein a commonly used band combination includes near-infrared, red and green bands, and a random forest algorithm, maximum likelihood classification, Mahalanobis distance classification or minimum distance classification algorithm is selected. The classification rules of the training samples are used to classify the entire image, and different vegetation types and vegetation growth states are accurately extracted. Hyperspectral data are used to extract vegetation biochemical parameters, especially important ecological indicators such as chlorophyll content, to further evaluate the health status of the vegetation. Thermal infrared band data are used to retrieve land surface temperature (LST), which provides an important reference for subsequent ecological models and environmental monitoring. The spatial resolution of the remote sensing image is required to be not less than 30 meters, and the temporal resolution is required to be not less than 16 days, to ensure the timeliness and accuracy of the monitoring.
[0062] In step S13, sampling points are set according to the ecosystem type by using the stratified random sampling method in the monitoring area, and the environmental DNA sampling points are arranged by using the system grid method.
[0063] In the embodiment, samples in water, soil or air are collected at each sampling point according to the standard environmental DNA sample collection process, and environmental DNA samples can also be collected for some specific species such as protected species and endangered species for analyzing the genetic diversity of the species.
[0064] In step S14, samples in water, soil or air are collected at each sampling point according to the standard environmental DNA sample collection process, and environmental DNA samples can also be collected for some specific species such as protected species and endangered species according to the needs. After the samples are collected, DNA extraction and PCR amplification processing are performed.
[0065] In the embodiment, environmental DNA samples of certain specific species such as protected species and endangered species are collected for analyzing genetic diversity; the amplified DNA samples are subjected to high-throughput sequencing by an Illumina NovaSeq sequencing platform to obtain high-quality environmental DNA sequence data; after obtaining the environmental DNA sequence data, bioinformatics tools are used for quality control of the sequence data, low-quality sequences are removed, and noise removal processing is performed to ensure the reliability of the data.
[0066] In step S2, the obtained data is preprocessed and compared with a public gene database to obtain species distribution data.
[0067] As shown in Figure 3 the obtained data is preprocessed and compared with a public gene database to obtain species distribution data, including:
[0068] In step S21, remote sensing image processing software is used to perform atmospheric correction on multispectral and hyperspectral images, and geometric fine correction is performed by a quadratic polynomial fitting model based on regional digital orthophoto maps.
[0069] In the embodiment, remote sensing image processing software is used to perform atmospheric correction on multispectral and hyperspectral images to eliminate the influence of aerosols and other atmospheric factors, thereby improving the authenticity and accuracy of remote sensing images. Radiometric correction helps to correct image quality problems caused by atmospheric scattering, absorption and other phenomena, ensuring the accuracy of reflecting ground features; geometric fine correction is performed by a quadratic polynomial fitting model based on regional digital orthophoto maps; this step ensures that each pixel point in the remote sensing image can accurately correspond to the geographic coordinate system on the earth's surface, thereby eliminating geometric errors and improving the spatial accuracy of the image.
[0070] In step S22, image fusion algorithms are used to process and integrate remote sensing data of different resolutions and timeliness; for example, high-resolution multispectral data is fused with low-resolution hyperspectral data; by this method, not only higher resolution spectral information can be obtained, but also the timeliness and spatial coverage of the data can be further improved, which provides more detailed and comprehensive data support for subsequent habitat feature extraction and biodiversity analysis.
[0071] In step S23, strict quality control is performed on the environmental DNA sequencing data, and a denoising algorithm is used to denoise the environmental DNA sequencing data to remove redundant and unreliable sequences, thereby improving the accuracy of species classification and abundance estimation.
[0072] In this embodiment, the environmental DNA sequencing data undergoes rigorous quality control, including the removal of low-quality sequences and the trimming of adapter sequences. Quality checks are performed using bioinformatics software (such as FastQC, Trimmomatic, etc.) to remove low-quality and redundant sequences, thereby eliminating errors or contamination during the sequencing process.
[0073] In step S24, the high-throughput sequencing data, after quality control and noise reduction, will be compared with public gene databases. Using BLAST or other sequence alignment tools, species in the sequencing data will be identified to obtain species distribution data.
[0074] In this embodiment, the species composition information of each sample can be obtained through a comparison process, and then the relative abundance data of each species can be extracted. This process provides detailed information such as species composition, relative abundance of species, and invasive species, providing a basis for subsequent biodiversity assessment. This process helps to accurately identify species diversity within the monitoring area.
[0075] Step S3 involves aligning and fusing habitat remote sensing data and environmental DNA data at temporal and spatial scales to generate a biodiversity feature dataset.
[0076] In this embodiment, the biodiversity feature dataset includes three levels of biodiversity data: ecosystem diversity, species diversity, and genetic diversity.
[0077] like Figure 4 As shown, habitat remote sensing data and environmental DNA data are aligned and fused at temporal and spatial scales to generate a biodiversity feature dataset, including:
[0078] Step S31: Since the acquisition times of remote sensing data and environmental DNA data may differ, a dynamic time warping algorithm is needed to synchronize habitat remote sensing data and species distribution data from different time series, thereby achieving time scale alignment and fusion of habitat remote sensing data and environmental DNA data. The dynamic time warping algorithm can minimize the time differences in time series data, so that the time series data achieves optimal temporal matching.
[0079] Step S32: Using a unified spatial reference coordinate system, the location of environmental DNA sampling points is precisely matched with the pixel center coordinates of remote sensing images to achieve spatial scale alignment and fusion of habitat remote sensing data and environmental DNA data.
[0080] In this embodiment, for point-like environmental DNA data, an inverse distance weighted interpolation method is used to interpolate the weighted average of surrounding known sampling point data to infer the environmental DNA data of unsampled points in space. This inverse distance weighted interpolation method, by interpolating the weighted average of surrounding known sampling point data, infers the environmental DNA data of unsampled points in space. This process generates smooth and continuous environmental DNA data in space, thus avoiding the appearance of blank areas. Subsequently, all environmental DNA data are uniformly resampled to the reference resolution of the remote sensing image to ensure spatial consistency, and a standard grid system is constructed. This unified spatial grid facilitates data standardization and comparability in subsequent analyses, ensuring that all data can be fused and compared within the same spatial framework.
[0081] Step S33: Calculate biodiversity at three levels—ecosystem diversity, species diversity, and genetic diversity—based on the aligned and fused habitat remote sensing data and environmental DNA data, and generate a spatiotemporally aligned biodiversity feature dataset.
[0082] In this embodiment, the Shannon Ecosystem Diversity Index is generated by calculating the area proportion and spatial distribution pattern of each ecosystem type from the ecosystem diversity data; the species diversity index is calculated from the species composition and abundance of the species diversity data; and the genetic diversity index is calculated using the DnaSP software from the genetic diversity data.
[0083] Step S4: Construct a correlation model and a 3D model between the generated habitat and species distribution, and visualize the dynamic changes in biodiversity.
[0084] like Figure 5 As shown, a correlation model and a 3D model between habitat and species distribution are constructed, and the dynamic changes in biodiversity are visualized, including:
[0085] Step S41: Based on species occurrence data in environmental DNA data as the dependent variable and habitat parameters extracted from habitat remote sensing data as the independent variable, regression analysis is performed to construct a correlation model between habitat and species distribution. By establishing the relationship between habitat and species distribution, a spatial distribution map of each species in the monitoring area is generated.
[0086] In the embodiments, common modeling methods for constructing a correlation model between habitat and species distribution include the MaxEnt model (maximum entropy model) or the random forest regression model.
[0087] Step S42: Construct a three-dimensional habitat model by using a high-resolution digital elevation model (spatial resolution of not less than 30 meters) combined with habitat remote sensing, biodiversity (such as ecosystem type, species diversity, genetic diversity, etc.) and geographic information data.
[0088] In an embodiment, by integrating terrain features, ecosystem types and biodiversity data, the three-dimensional model can intuitively show the spatial distribution characteristics of habitats and their relationship with species distribution. For the years when no environmental DNA samples are collected, species diversity and genetic diversity data can be generated by habitat-species distribution correlation modeling to generate the species distribution map for that year. In this way, the distribution of species and its trend can be inferred without direct DNA samples.
[0089] In step S43, the biodiversity feature data (such as ecosystem type, species distribution, species diversity data) is mapped into the three-dimensional grid model, and the spatiotemporal heterogeneity of species richness and diversity is represented by dynamic changes in color gradient, and the change is quantitatively evaluated by calculating the biodiversity change rate.
[0090] In an embodiment, the formula for calculating the biodiversity change rate is as follows:
[0091] ;
[0092] In the formula, is the biodiversity index at a certain time point, is the biodiversity index at the next time node.
[0093] In an embodiment, spatial autocorrelation analysis method or other methods are used to identify areas with significant biodiversity changes. For the identified biodiversity hotspots, they are highlighted in the three-dimensional model visualization graph by color scale annotation.
[0094] For example, when a habitat mutation (such as fire, deforestation) is detected by satellite, the environmental DNA sampling and sequencing of unmanned aerial vehicles or ground teams are automatically triggered to evaluate the impact of the event on biodiversity.
[0095] The present application uses satellite remote sensing and environmental DNA sequencing, which not only greatly reduces the demand for manpower, but also quickly collects data in remote and inaccessible areas, saves time, and collects more biological information in a shorter time, greatly improving the efficiency and accuracy of biodiversity investigation and monitoring.
[0096] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present application, and not to limit them; although the present application has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that they can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or make equivalent replacements for part or all of the technical features; and these modifications or replacements do not make the essence of the corresponding technical solutions deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present application.
