résumé

Short-Rotation Plantations (SRPs) as the main economic forests have an important impact on ecological environmental protection and social economic development, but detailed information on the temporal and spatial distribution of SRPs is lacking. SRPs have nearly half a century of plantation history and extensive distribution in South China. This study aims to extract the long-term temporal and spatial distribution information of SRPs and analyze its changing trends and driving factors.The Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, where SRPs are most widely grown in China, was used as the research area in this study. Based on the Google Earth Engine cloud platform and Landsat image data from 1986 to 2019, the 34-year Normalized Burn Ratio (NBR) long-term series data were first reconstructed by per pixel composite method. Then, the LandTrendr time series trajectory segmentation algorithm was used to segment and fit the NBR time series data for extracting the spatiotemporal distribution information of SRPs. Finally, Google Earth high-resolution images were used to select samples for verifying the accuracy of classification and extraction and analyzing the spatiotemporal characteristics and related factors of planting area changes in SRPs.(1) The accuracy of the SRP information extraction results was evaluated by the confusion matrix: the overall accuracy of the binary classifications reached 80.52%, the mapping accuracy of SRPs was 79.6%, the user accuracy of SRPs was 81.2%, and the kappa coefficient was over 0.6, which indicate that the classification model has a good classification effect. (2) The planting area of SRPs in Guangxi has been increasing steadily and rapidly year by year in the past 30 years. The planting area was only 1.93×105 ha in 1990, and it reached 4.04×106 ha by 2019, with an average annual growth rate of 1.33×105 ha. (3) In terms of spatial distribution, SRPs are concentrated in eastern and southern Guangxi. They are mainly distributed in low-altitude areas below 500 m and slopes with a surface slope of about 20°. Among them, Hechi City is the prefecture-level city with the largest planting and distribution area of SRPs in Guangxi. (4) A strong correlation exists between the change trend of SRP planting area and forestry output value (r=0.830894, p<0.001), which suggests that SRPs are an important affecting factor of forestry economy.The method proposed in this study based on the LandTrendr time series trajectory segmentation algorithm of SRP spatiotemporal information extraction is proven to be very effective. The mapping and analysis of the spatiotemporal distribution of SRPs can provide decision support for forestry management and provide basic data for the research on forest carbon cycle.
