Understanding vegetation phenology is critical for assessing the impacts of climate change, particularly in regions vulnerable to environmental fluctuations. This study investigates the temporal trends and spatial variability of the start of photosynthetic activity (SOP) in natural vegetation across Central Asia over the past four decades (1982–2022) using satellite-derived Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) data. The research emphasizes the critical role of vegetation phenology in understanding responses to climate change. To extract spring phenological data, various smoothing techniques were applied, including filter-based methods, asymmetrical Gaussian fitting, and three nonlinear and piecewise linear methods, ensuring accurate representation from continuous time series data. NDVI time series were smoothed using a phenological extraction package. The results indicate an average advance in SOP of 1.26 days per decade, with forest ecosystems exhibiting the greatest shift at 3.05 days per decade. A spring temperature threshold near 0 °C was identified as a reliable predictor for dormancy break. Ensemble Empirical Mode Decomposition (EEMD) was utilized to differentiate between cumulative and instantaneous trends, revealing dynamic phenological responses. A notable shift around 2005 was observed, with approximately 76.28% of pixels showing a change in SOP trend, while 23.60% displayed a stable, monotonic trend. Vegetation at elevations between 1500 and 3000 m experienced a significant SOP advance of 2.27 days per decade, whereas vegetation above 3000 m showed no significant change over the study period. Spatially, SOP trends exhibited a latitudinal gradient, with delays observed in the southern regions and advancements north of 45° N. These findings underscore the importance of developing region-specific phenological models to inform environmental management and climate adaptation strategies, particularly in arid and semi-arid ecosystems.

Saline–alkaline land serves as a potential arable land reserve for augmenting agricultural productivity and safeguarding food security. However, long-term monitoring of saline–alkaline land conversion remains challenging because of vegetation recovery, surface changes, hydrological modification, and agricultural phenology. Compared with CCDC and LandTrendr, the proposed MK-based framework detects conversion occurrence and timing while reducing dependence on dense observations, parameter tuning, and annual classification. This study examines the spatiotemporal dynamics of saline–alkaline land converted into paddies in Da’an City, utilizing Landsat time-series data (2007–2021) from the Google Earth Engine (GEE) platform. The analysis employed Mann–Kendall (MK) trend and mutation tests to monitor conversion processes and analyze spatiotemporal dynamics. Point-biserial correlation analysis was applied to evaluate the sensitivity of various remote sensing indices in detecting land conversion. The top fifteen indices, including the Land Surface Water Index (LSWI), Salinity Index 4 (SI4), and Salinity Index 5 (SI5), demonstrated strong correlations (|r| = 0.788–0.885) and significant pre- and post-conversion spectral differences (p < 0.01). Validation via confusion matrix confirmed that the June SI5 index attained the highest detection accuracy (overall accuracy: 94.15%; Kappa coefficient: 0.86), supporting the MK trend test’s efficacy in monitoring conversion processes. The MK mutation test achieved 80.36% temporal accuracy in determining conversion timing. The spatiotemporal analyses identified heterogeneity in saline–alkaline land conversion patterns. Spatially, large contiguous paddy fields dominated the eastern region, whereas fragmented conversion characterized the west, with minimal activity in the central zone. Temporally, the conversion area expanded rapidly before 2015 and then gradually declined, reaching a cumulative converted area of 276.29 km² by 2021. This study elucidates spatiotemporal conversion dynamics to guide sustainable land use. Full article

This study aims to enhance the early warning and monitoring of frost damage in triticale (×Triticosecale Wittmack), as well as to identify frost-tolerant materials. To this end, this work focused on phenotyping the dynamics of triticale under different damage intensities using spectral indices. Sixteen triticale genotypes were planted under three sowing date (SD) treatments, with three sowing rate (SR) gradients set for each SD. The multispectral data of triticale under six frost damage intensities were acquired using an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) platform. A total of eight spectral indices (SIs) were extracted from samples under each intensity. In general, for each combination of SD and SR, all SIs decreased monotonically with increasing damage intensity. These indices are therefore suitable for monitoring frost damage in triticale under complex sowing scenarios. Under early frost damage, the relative decline rates (RDRs) of the SRI (Simple Ratio Vegetation Index), EVI2 (Enhanced Vegetation Index 2), NIRv (Near-Infrared Reflectance of Vegetation), and GLI (Green Leaf Index) were higher than those of other indices, indicating that they are more sensitive to early frost damage and thus more suitable for frost warning. Under frost stress, the RDRs of the indices were higher in early-sown samples than in late-sown samples. SD plays a more significant role than SR in determining the response of triticale indices to frost damage. Models were developed to detect triticale under varying damage intensities with SIs and classification algorithms—XGBoost, Quadratic Discriminant Analysis (QDA), Random Forest (RF), and Support Vector Machine (SVM). The SVM classifier demonstrated the best generalization performance (overall accuracy: 98.03%; F1-score: 0.98). The detection contributions of indices within the optimal model were evaluated by their respective SHAP (Shapley Additive Explanations) values. The GLI, NIRv, NDVI (Normalized Difference Vegetation Index), and GNDVI (Green Normalized Difference Vegetation Index) were identified as key indices, as they exhibit higher cumulative SHAP values. Identification models for triticale with different frost tolerance levels were established based on the time-series data of these key indices and the above four algorithms. The optimal model based on the SVM algorithm achieved an identification accuracy exceeding 90%. The average overwintering dynamics and frost damage responses of the key indices were analyzed for triticale with different frost tolerance levels under all treatments. Under frost stress, these indices and their RDRs in frost-tolerant triticale were generally higher and lower, respectively, than those in frost-sensitive triticale. These four key indices can thus assist in the identification of frost tolerance in triticale. This study aids in the early warning and monitoring of frost damage in triticale under complex planting scenarios and the evaluation of overwintering performance in triticale germplasm. Full article

Olive groves in Mediterranean regions are being increasingly exposed to drought and heat extremes, intensifying the interannual yield variability. This study presents an integrated smart-farming framework that links soil context, climate forcing and satellite-observed canopy dynamics to enhance the interpretability and transferability of yield indicators at the parcel scale in southern Spain. Using SoilGrids root-zone properties and the Sentinel-2 time series of the normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI), we first classified parcels into three edaphic clusters. The canopy development was then expressed in thermal time using growing degree days (GDD), enabling phenology-aligned comparisons across campaigns. Two robust patterns emerged: (i) the cumulative NDVI up to 520 GDD showed a consistent negative association with both the biomass and the oil yield, suggesting an early-season vegetation trade-off and carry-over effects typical of perennial systems, and (ii) the rainfall accumulated during a thermally defined window (120–480 GDD) strongly estimated the yield in the subsequent year ($R^2=0.83$–0.97 across soil clusters). By anchoring both vegetation and precipitation indicators to physiologically meaningful thermal milestones, the proposed framework avoids arbitrary calendar windows and enhances the interpretability, cross-year comparability, and scalability. Under projected increases in drought frequency and heat extremes, such hydro-thermal scaling approaches offer a robust basis for early yield forecasting, cooperative-level production planning, and adaptive management in Mediterranean olive systems.

While climate change shifts plant phenology, conventional satellite-based studies often overlook intra-individual variations due to spatial averaging. This study utilized high-resolution UAV imagery and Digital Surface Models (DSMs) to investigate how intra-crown microclimatic heterogeneity affects the spatiotemporal patterns of flowering and autumn leaf senescence. Rhododendron yedoense f. poukhanense (H.Lév.) M. Sugim (RY) and Acer triflorum Kom. (AT) were monitored at the Korea National Arboretum, with 23 time-series images acquired between April and November 2025. Cumulative solar duration was calculated for 0.5 m intra-crown grids, and phenological events were detected using derivative analysis of vegetation indices (Red Chromatic Coordinate [RCC] and Green Chromatic Coordinate [GCC]). The results confirmed asynchrony in phenological events within single individuals depending on crown sectors. However, the linear relationship between intra-crown microclimatic heterogeneity and phenological duration was statistically weak ($\rho$ > 0.05), suggesting that strong physiological buffering mitigates the direct impact of spatial light variation. Despite this buffering, species-specific response patterns were observed: RY exhibited spatially independent flowering responses, whereas AT maintained relatively higher synchrony. Furthermore, AT showed a “Phenological Velocity” gap, where sunlit sectors tended to experience senescence approximately 1.12 days later than shaded areas**, while RY showed no significant directional lag.** This research demonstrates that phenological responses can be spatially dispersed even within an individual, and the buffering mechanisms against environmental variability differ by crown structure and growth form. These findings highlight the necessity of individual-level spatial resolution in understanding plant responses to climate change. Full article

Mangrove extent has increased in many regions under strengthened conservation policies and large-scale restoration programs. Nevertheless, mangrove ecosystems continue to face multiple pressures, including limited total area, habitat degradation, biodiversity decline, and biological invasion, and localized deterioration in ecosystem structure and function has been increasingly reported. Despite extensive mapping efforts, the spatiotemporal dynamics of mangrove degradation—particularly in tidally influenced environments—remain insufficiently understood. Focusing on the Nanliu River Delta, the largest deltaic mangrove system in the Northern Beibu Gulf of China, this study integrates long-term Landsat time-series imagery (1990–2025) with deep learning to quantify both mangrove extent change and canopy degradation. To mitigate tidal inundation effects, a NDVI Pseudo-P75 compositing strategy was applied using Google Earth Engine (GEE), enabling consistent observation of mangrove canopies across tidal stages. Global Mangrove Watch v4 (GMW-V4) and HGMF2020 mangrove dataset for China were used as reference labels to train a ResNet34–UNet segmentation framework incorporating Digital Elevation Model (DEM) constraints. The model achieved high classification performance, with an IoU of 0.822 for mangroves and 0.981 for background, yielding a mean IoU of 0.902. The resulting maps, following manual verification, provided a robust basis for spatiotemporal and degradation analyses. Canopy condition was further assessed using the Enhanced Vegetation Index (EVI), which is less prone to saturation in high-biomass mangrove stands. Results show that mangrove area in the Nanliu River Delta expanded from 266 ha in 1990 to 1414 ha in 2025, with the annual expansion rate after 2005 being nearly seven times higher than that before 2005. Despite this net gain, a cumulative loss of 347.45 ha was recorded, primarily during 1990–2000, with approximately 70% converted to aquaculture and coastal engineering. Spatial analysis revealed that mangrove expansion occurred predominantly seaward, whereas both mangrove loss and canopy degradation exhibited an inverse J-shaped relationship with seawall proximity. More than 80% of mangrove loss occurred within 200 m of seawalls, indicating concentrated anthropogenic encroachment, while 75.6% of canopy degradation was observed within 350 m, potentially reflecting landward forest senescence. These results indicate a transition in dominant threats from permanent land conversion in the late 20th century to more subtle, internal functional degradation in recent decades, underscoring the need to complement extent-based assessments with canopy condition monitoring in mangrove conservation and management.

Environmental degradation and soil desertification are among the most severe environmental issues of recent decades worldwide. Over time, these processes have led to increasingly extreme and highly dynamic climatic conditions. In Brazil, the Northeast Region is characterized by semi-arid and arid areas that exhibit high climatic variability and are extremely vulnerable to environmental changes and pressures from human activities. The application of geotechnologies and geographic information system (GIS) modeling is essential to mitigate the impacts and pressures on the various ecosystems of Northeastern Brazil (NEB), where the Caatinga biome is predominant and critically threatened by these factors. In this context, the objective was to map and assess the spatiotemporal patterns of land use and land cover (LULC), detecting significant trends of loss and gain, based on surface reflectance data and precipitation data over two decades (2000–2019). Remote sensing datasets were utilized, including Landsat satellite data (LULC data), MODIS sensor data (surface reflectance product) and TRMM data (precipitation data). The Google Earth Engine (GEE) software was used to process orbital images and determine surface albedo and acquisition of the LULC dataset. Satellite data were subjected to multivariate analysis, descriptive statistics, dispersion and variability assessments. The results indicated a significant loss trend over the time series (2000–2019) for forest areas (Z_MK = −5.872; Tau = −0.958; p < 0.01) with an annual loss of −3705.853 km² and a total loss of −74,117.06 km². Conversely, farming areas (agriculture and pasture) exhibited a significant gain trend (Z_MK = 5.807; Tau = 0.947; p < 0.01), with an annual gain of +3978.898 km² and a total gain of +79,577.96 km², indicating a substantial expansion of these areas over time. However, it is important to emphasize that deforestation of the region’s native vegetation contributes to reduced water production and availability. The trend analysis identified an increase in environmental degradation due to the rapid expansion of land use. LULC and albedo data confirmed the intensification of deforestation in the Northern, Northwestern, Southern and Southeastern regions of NEB. The Northwestern region was the most directly impacted by this increase due to anthropogenic pressures. Over two decades (2000–2019), forested areas in the NEB lost approximately 80.000 km². Principal component analysis (PCA) identified a significant cumulative variance of 87.15%. It is concluded, then, that the spatiotemporal relationship between biophysical conditions and regional climate helps us to understand and evaluate the impacts and environmental dynamics, especially of the vegetation cover of the NEB.

Mining subsidence is a pervasive geohazard in coal basins, and precise and reliable deformation monitoring is essential to effective risk mitigation. Conventional time-series Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (InSAR) suffers from vegetation-induced decorrelation and atmospheric delays. Most predictive models leverage only temporal information. We introduced an integrated DS InSAR + CNN LSTM framework for subsidence monitoring and forecasting. Forty-three Sentinel-1A scenes (2017–2018), corrected with Generic Atmospheric Correction Online Service for InSAR (GACOS) data, were processed to derive cumulative deformation, cross-validated against multi-view SBAS InSAR, and used to train a CNN LSTM network that predicts trends one year in advance. The findings indicate that (1) DS InSAR provides 2.83 times the monitoring density of SBAS InSAR, with deformation rate R² = 0.83, RMSE = 0.0028 m/a, and MAE = 0.0019 m/a at common pixels. The RMS average decrease in GACOS atmospheric delay phase correction is 2.52 mm. (2) High- and low-settlement zones comprise 0.11% and 92.32% of the area, respectively; maximum velocity reaches 190.61 mm/a, with a cumulative subsidence of −338.33 mm. (3) Across the five zones with the most severe subsidence, the CNN–LSTM model attains R² values of 0.97–0.99 and RMSE below 1 mm, markedly outperforming the standalone LSTM network. (4) Deformation correlated strongly with geological structures, groundwater decline (R² = 0.66–0.78), and precipitation (slope > 0.33), highlighting coupled natural and anthropogenic control.

Digital soil organic carbon (SOC) mapping is used for ecological protection and addressing global climate change. Sentinel-1 (S-1) microwave radar remote sensing data offer critical insights into SOC dynamics through tracking variations in soil moisture and vegetation characteristics. Despite extensive studies using S-1 data for SOC mapping, most focus on either single or multi-date periods without achieving satisfactory results. Few studies have investigated the potential of time-series S-1 data for high-accuracy SOC mapping. This study utilized S-1 data from 2017 to 2021 to analyze temporal variations in the correlation between SOC and time-series S-1 data in southern Xinjiang, China. The primary objective was to determine the optimal monitoring period for SOC. Within this period, optimal feature subsets were extracted using variable selection algorithms. The performance of the partial least squares regression, random forest, and convolutional neural network–long short-term memory (CNN-LSTM) models was evaluated using a 10-fold cross-validation approach. The findings revealed the following: (1) The correlation between time-series S-1 data and SOC exhibited both interannual and monthly variations, with the optimal monitoring period from July to October. The data volume was reduced by 73.27% relative to the initial time-series dataset when the optimal monitoring period was determined. (2) Introducing time-series S-1 data into SOC mapping significantly improved CNN-LSTM model performance (R² = 0.80, RPD = 2.24, RMSE = 1.11 g kg⁻¹). Compared to models using single-date (R² = 0.23) and multi-date (R² = 0.33) data, the R² increased by 0.57 and 0.47, respectively. (3) The newly developed vertical–horizontal maximum and mean annual cumulative indices made a significant contribution (17.93%) to mapping SOC. Therefore, integrating the optimal monitoring period, feature selection, and deep learning model offers significant potential for enhancing the accuracy of digital SOC mapping. Full article

Timely and accurate yield estimation is essential for effective crop management and the grain trade. Remote sensing has emerged as a valuable tool for monitoring rice yields; however, many studies concentrate on a single period or simply aggregate multiple periods, neglecting the complexities underlying yield formation. The study enhances yield estimation by integrating cumulative time series vegetation indices (VIs) from multispectral (MS) and RGB (Red, Green, Blue) sensors to identify optimal combinations of growth periods. We utilized two unmanned aerial vehicle to capture spectral information from rice canopies through MS and RGB sensors. By analyzing the correlations between vegetation indices from different sensors and rice yields, the optimal MS-VIs and RGB-VIs for each period were identified. Following this, the relationship between the cumulative time series of MS-VIs, RGB-VIs, and rice yields was further examined. The results demonstrate that the booting stage is a crucial growth period influencing rice yield, with VIs exhibiting increased correlation with yield, peaking during this stage before declining. For the MS sensor, the rice yield model, based on the cumulative time series of MS-VIs from the tillering stage to the panicle initiation stage, achieves optimal accuracy (R² = 0.722, RRMSE = 0.555). For the RGB sensor, the rice yield model, based on the cumulative time series of RGB-VIs from the tillering stage to the grain-filling stage, yields the highest accuracy (R² = 0.727, RRMSE = 0.526). In comparison, the multi-sensor rice yield model, which combines the cumulative time series of MS-VIs from the tillering stage and RGB-VIs from the panicle initiation to grain-filling stages, achieves the highest accuracy with R² = 0.759 and RRMSE = 0.513. These findings suggest that cumulative time series VIs and the integration of multiple sensors enhance yield prediction accuracy, providing a comprehensive approach for estimating rice yield dynamics and supporting precision agriculture and informed crop management.

This study investigated a method for directly estimating methane emissions from rice paddy fields at the field level using drone-based time-series vegetation indices at a town scale. Drone optical and spectral images were captured approximately 15 times from April to November to acquire time-series vegetation indices and optical orthoimages. An empirical regression model validated in previous international studies was applied to calculate cumulative methane emissions throughout the rice cultivation process. Methane emissions were estimated using the vegetation index and yield data were used as input variables for each growth phase. Methane emissions from rice paddies showed maximum values of 309 kg CH₄ ha⁻¹, within a 7% range compared to similar studies, and minimum values of 138 kg CH₄ ha⁻¹, with differences ranging from 29% to 58%. The average emissions were calculated at 247 kg CH₄/ha, revealing slightly lower average values but individual field values within a similar range. The results suggest that drone-based remote sensing technology is an efficient and cost-effective alternative to traditional field measurements for greenhouse gas emission assessments. However, adjustments and validations according to rice varieties and local cultivation environments are necessary. Overcoming these limitations can help establish sustainable agricultural management practices and achieve local greenhouse gas reduction targets. Full article

Surface subsidence hazards in mining areas are common geological disasters involving issues such as vegetation degradation and ground collapse during the mining process, which also raise safety concerns. To address the accuracy issues of traditional prediction models and study methods for predicting subsidence in open-pit mining areas, this study first employed 91 scenes of Sentinel-1A ascending and descending orbits images to monitor long-term deformations of a phosphate mine in Anning City, Yunnan Province, southwestern China. It obtained annual average subsidence rates and cumulative surface deformation values for the study area. Subsequently, a two-dimensional deformation decomposition was conducted using a time-series registration interpolation method to determine the distribution of vertical and east–west deformations. Finally, three prediction models were employed: Back Propagation Neural Network (BPNN), BPNN optimized by Genetic Algorithm (GA-BP), and BPNN optimized by Artificial Bee Colony Algorithm (ABC-BP). These models were used to forecast six selected time series points. The results indicate that the BPNN model had Mean Absolute Errors (MAE) and Root Mean Squared Errors (RMSE) within 7.6 mm, while the GA-BP model errors were within 3.5 mm, and the ABC-BP model errors were within 3.7 mm. Both optimized models demonstrated significantly improved accuracy and good predictive capabilities. Full article

Pollen allergies have a serious impact on people’s physical and mental health. Accurate and efficient prediction of the outbreak date of pollen allergies plays an important role in the conservation of people sensitive to allergenic pollen. It is a frontier research to combine new social media data and satellite data to develop a model to forecast the outbreak date of pollen allergies. This study extracted the real outbreak dates of spring pollen allergies from Sina Weibo records from 2011 to 2021 in Beijing and calculated five vegetation indices of three vegetation types as phenological characteristics within the 30 days before the average outbreak date. The sensitivity coefficients and correlation coefficients were used to screen the phenological characteristics that best reflected the outbreak date of spring pollen allergy. Based on the best characteristic, two kinds of prediction models for the outbreak date of spring pollen allergy in Beijing were established (the linear fit prediction model and the cumulative linear fit prediction model), and the root mean square error (RMSE) was calculated as the prediction accuracy. The results showed that (1) the date of EVI2 (2-band enhanced vegetation index) in evergreen forest first reaching 0.138 can best reflect the outbreak date of pollen allergies in spring, and (2) the cumulative linear fit prediction model based on EVI2 in evergreen forests can obtain a high accuracy with an average RMSE of 3.6 days, which can predict the outbreak date of spring pollen allergies 30 days in advance. Compared with the existing indirect prediction models (which predict pollen concentrations rather than pollen allergies), this model provides a new direct way to predict pollen allergy outbreaks by using only remote sensing time-series data before pollen allergy outbreaks. The new prediction model also has better representativeness and operability and is capable of assisting public health management. Full article

Drought is considered one of the devastating natural disasters worldwide. In the context of global climate change, the frequency and intensity of drought have increased, thereby affecting terrestrial ecosystems. To date, the interactions between ecosystem change and drought, especially their mutual lag and cumulative effects is unclear. The Songnen Plain in northeastern China is one of the three major black soil areas in the world and is highly sensitive to global change. Herein, to quantify the interaction between drought and ecosystem function changes in the Songnen Plain, integrating with time-series moderate resolution imaging spectroradiometer (MODIS), leaf area Index (LAI), evapotranspiration (ET), and gross primary productivity (GPP) data, we calculated the standardized precipitation and evapotranspiration index (SPEI) based on the meteorological data, diagnosed the causal relationship between SPEI and the ecosystem function indicators i.e., LAI, ET, and GPP, and analyzed the time-lag and cumulative effects between the degree of drought and three ecosystem function indicators using impulse response analysis. The results showed that the trend of SPEI (2000–2020) was positive in the Songnen Plain, indicating that the drought extent had eased towards wetness. LAI showed insignificant changes (taking up 88.34% of the total area), except for the decrease in LAI found in some forestland and grassland, accounting for 9.43%. The pixels showing a positive trend of ET and GPP occupied 24.86% and 54.94%, respectively. The numbers of pixels with Granger causality between LAI and SPEI (32.31%), SPEI and GPP (52.8%) were greater at the significance 0.05 level. Impulse responses between each variable pair were stronger mainly between the 6th and 8th months, but differed significantly between vegetation types. Grassland and cropland were more susceptible to drought than forest. The cumulative impulse response coefficients values indicated that the mutual impacts between all variables were mainly positive. The increased wetness positively contributed to ecosystem function, and in turn enhanced ecosystem function improved regional drought conditions to some extent. However, in the northeastern forest areas, the SPEI showed a significant negative response to increased ET and GPP, suggesting that the improved physiological functions of forest might lead to regional drought. There were regional differences in the interaction between drought conditions and ecosystem function in the Songnen Plain over the past 21 years. Full article

Permafrost and alpine vegetation are widely distributed in Tibet, which is a sensitive area for global climate change. In this study, we inverted the surface deformation from 22 May 2018 to 9 October 2021 in a rectangular area within the city of Linzhi, Tibet, using the Sentinel1-A data and two time-series interferometric system aperture radar (InSAR) techniques. Then, the significant features of surface deformation were analyzed separately according to different vegetation types. Finally, multiple machine learning methods were used to predict future surface deformation, and the results were compared to obtain the model with the highest prediction accuracy. This study aims to provide a scientific reference and decision basis for global ecological security and sustainable development. The results showed that the surface deformation rate in the study area was basically between ±10 mm/a, and the cumulative surface deformation was basically between ±35 mm. The surface deformation of grassland, meadow, coniferous forest, and alpine vegetation were all significantly correlated with NDVI, and the effect of alpine vegetation, coniferous forest, and grassland on permafrost was stronger than that of the meadow. The prediction accuracy of the Holt–Winters model was higher than that of Holt′s model and the ARIMA model; it was expected that the ground surface would keep rising in the next two months, and the ground surface deformation of alpine vegetation and the coniferous forest was relatively small. The above studies indicated that the surface deformation in the Tibetan permafrost region was relatively stable under the conditions of alpine vegetation and coniferous forest. Future-related ecological construction needs to pay more attention to permafrost areas under grassland and meadow conditions, which are prone to surface deformation and affect the stability of ecosystems.
