[0002] Grassland is an important global ecosystem, which can support a variety of biological habitats and survival. The health of grassland is directly related to biodiversity and ecological balance. Animal activities (such as grazing, migration, etc.) have a direct impact on the structure and function of grassland, which can lead to grassland degradation. Grassland degradation not only affects the health of the ecosystem, but also directly relates to the livelihoods of local residents and agricultural production. Therefore, it is particularly important to monitor the degree of grassland degradation and the recovery effect.

[0003] Since grassland degradation is a dynamic process, it is affected by many factors such as seasonal changes, climate changes, and animal migrations. In the prior art, static or short-period monitoring data is often used, which is difficult to capture the spatiotemporal dynamic characteristics of grassland degradation. In the time dimension, there is a lack of analysis of long-term degradation trends of grassland. In the spatial dimension, the differences of grassland ecosystems in different regions are not fully considered, resulting in a lack of spatiotemporal continuity and comparability of the degradation grade division results, and it is difficult to accurately present the degree of grassland degradation. Therefore, how to use an end-cloud collaborative architecture to process multi-dimensional monitoring data of the target region grassland to construct a grassland degradation model based on spatiotemporal sequences, determine the degradation grade of the target region grassland, and accurately reflect the degree of grassland degradation is a problem to be solved by the present application.

[0063] Fluctuation analysis, the coefficient of variation measures the fluctuation degree of data relative to the average value;

[0064] The calculation expression of coefficient of variation is as follows:

[0065]

[0066] In the formula: CV is the coefficient of variation, which measures the degree of fluctuation of data relative to the mean; σ is the standard deviation of the time series, and μ is the mean of the time series; an increase in CV indicates a decrease in ecosystem stability, greater sensitivity to external disturbances (such as drought and grazing), and a more severe response, which is an important precursor to degradation; a decrease in CV or a stable CV indicates that the ecosystem has strong resistance and less fluctuation in state.

[0067] Stability measurement, analyzing overall stability through autocorrelation coefficient;

[0068] The formula for calculating the autocorrelation coefficient is as follows:

[0069]

[0070] In the formula: R(l) is the autocorrelation coefficient with a lag time of l, l is the lag time step, and x t x t+l Let N be two observations in a time series that are l time steps apart, and N be the length of the time series.

[0071] Lag correlation is used to analyze the lead-lag relationship between different ecological parameters within the same remote sensing pixel grid.

[0072] The expression for calculating lagged correlation is as follows:

[0073]

[0074] ρ X,Y (l)=ρ Y,X (-l), for l<0;

[0075] In the formula: ρ X,Y (l) represents the cross-correlation coefficient between variables X and Y at a lag time of l, i.e., the lagged correlation between ecological parameter sequences; X t Y t For two different ecological parameter sequences within the same remote sensing pixel grid at time t; μ X μ Y ρ represents the mean of variables X and Y. X,Y (l) > 0 indicates a positive correlation, meaning that an increase in one variable tends to be accompanied by an increase in the other variable after a lag time; ρ X,Y (l) < 0 indicates a negative correlation, meaning that an increase in one variable tends to be accompanied by a decrease in the other variable after a lag time; it indicates no linear correlation.

[0076] The spatial variation feature is quantified by calculating the spatial variation standard deviation, which captures the spatial degradation pattern of fragmentation and patchiness.

[0077] The calculation expression of the spatial variation feature is as follows:

[0078]

[0079] In the formula, σ K is the standard deviation of all remote sensing pixel grid values in a specified window; z i is the observation value of the i-th remote sensing pixel grid in the window, is the average value of all remote sensing pixel grid values in the window, and n is the total number of pixels in the window; σ K tends to 0, indicating high homogeneity in the window; σ K increases, indicating high heterogeneity in the window, and the remote sensing pixel grid value changes dramatically. High spatial variation is often a sign of degradation in the middle stage;

[0080] The specific work content is as follows: from the regional remote sensing-monitoring spatio-temporal data set, the remote sensing image data and in-situ monitoring data are extracted, the in-situ monitoring data is spatially interpolated based on the unified spatio-temporal reference, the in-situ monitoring data is upscaled from discrete point observations to continuous remote sensing pixel grids through interpolation algorithms, ensuring that the two are matched in the time and space dimensions, and then a multi-dimensional data cube that is aligned in the time and space dimensions is constructed. The multi-dimensional data cube ensures that each remote sensing pixel grid contains completely matched multi-source observation values at each time node; for the long time series data in each remote sensing pixel grid in the multi-dimensional data cube, signal processing methods are used for quantitative analysis to extract key indicators that characterize the time evolution pattern: including the trend component that reveals the long-term change direction, the seasonal component that reflects the annual regularity change, and the periodic component that captures the longer time period fluctuation. At the same time, the fluctuation and stability measures are analyzed, where the coefficient of variation is used to measure the fluctuation degree of the data relative to the average value, and the autocorrelation coefficient is used to analyze the overall stability. The degradation trajectory and evolution pattern of the health status of the grassland in the time dimension are accurately described in a numerical way by precisely depicting the various ecological parameters of the grassland. The internal and surrounding multi-dimensional information of the remote sensing pixel grid is fused to construct a comprehensive feature set. In the internal of the remote sensing pixel grid, the lag correlation between the sequences of various ecological parameters is calculated to reveal the mutual influence relationship of different parameters in time; in the spatial dimension, the spatial variation feature is extracted to reflect the distribution difference and change of the grassland ecology in space, and then a set of time-space feature sequences containing time dynamics, internal correlation and spatial pattern are generated by combining the internal correlation information and spatial pattern features;

[0081] S5, combine the spatiotemporal feature sequence, introduce the animal activity trajectory and intensity data, and form a grassland degradation feature for constructing a grassland degradation model;

[0082] S6, train the grassland degradation model based on the spatiotemporal sequence in the cloud, and iteratively update the model parameters in real time through the end-side device;

[0083] S7, generate a spatiotemporally continuous grassland degradation dynamic atlas based on the grassland degradation model, and output a repair suggestion combined with a preset management rule library.

[0084] In the embodiment 1, the application provides a technical solution as shown in the embodiment 2: Figure 1 、 Figure 2 S5 specifically includes:

[0085] Integrate the spatiotemporal feature sequence and the animal activity trajectory data, unify the spatiotemporal reference, map the animal activity intensity including the grazing frequency and the migration path density to the remote sensing pixel grid through coordinate conversion and time stamp matching, ensure the accurate alignment of the data in the spatiotemporal dimension, form a multi-dimensional data fusion layer, analyze the spatial distribution pattern of the animal activity trajectory and the spatiotemporal correlation between the animal activity trajectory and the grassland ecological parameter, determine the lag effect coefficient of the animal activity intensity on the grassland ecological parameter, extract the animal activity impact feature driven by the animal activity, cover the ecological parameter degradation rate and the spatial heterogeneity enhancement index of the activity intensive area, and then construct an animal activity impact feature set, fuse the spatiotemporal feature sequence and the animal activity impact feature, generate coupled features through feature intersection, and use principal component analysis to screen the grassland degradation features sensitive to grassland degradation.

[0086] In addition, the process of using principal component analysis to screen the grassland degradation features sensitive to grassland degradation is as follows:

[0087] Fuse the extracted spatiotemporal feature sequence of the grassland ecological parameter and the animal activity impact feature, generate high-dimensional coupled features through feature intersection method, and then construct a high-dimensional coupled feature set containing original features and intersection features, perform principal component analysis on the high-dimensional coupled feature set, convert the original features to a new set of principal components, and arrange them in descending order according to their variance contribution, retain the principal components whose cumulative variance contribution rate reaches a preset threshold (85%), eliminate redundant information, and reduce the data dimension, analyze the principal components that reach the preset threshold, determine the grassland degradation features, i.e., the ecological parameter degradation rate and the animal activity intensity synergy index, and use them to evaluate the driving effect of animal activity on ecological degradation and the spatial differentiation characteristics.

[0088] The calculation expression of the ecological parameter degradation rate is as follows:

[0089]

[0090] where R is the rate of ecological parameter degradation, t j is the time of the jth year, y j is the observed value of the ecological parameter in the jth year, μ is the mean value of the time series, is the mean value of the ecological parameter; R < 0 indicates that the ecological parameter decreases over time, indicating ecosystem degradation; R > 0 indicates that the ecological parameter increases over time, indicating ecosystem recovery; R tends to 0, indicating that the ecological parameter is stable, and the ecosystem is in a balanced state;
