| description | Coal is the most prevalent energy source in China and plays an important role in ensuring energy security. The continuous monitoring of coal mining activities is helpful to clarify the incremental space of coal production and establish a rational framework for future coal production capacity. In this study, a multi-source remote sensing approach utilizing SPOT 4, GF, and Landsat data is employed to monitor land cover and vegetation changes in the Juhugeng mining area of the Muli coalfield over a span of nearly 20 years. The analysis incorporates an object-oriented classification method and a vegetation parameter to derive insights. The findings reveal that the mining operations can be divided into two periods, since their initiation in 2003 until their cessation in 2021, with a dividing point around 2013/2014. The initial phase witnessed rapid and even accelerated expansion of the mine, while the subsequent phase was characterized by more stable development and the implementation of some restorative measures for the mine environment. Although the vegetation parameter, Fractional Vegetation Cover (FVC), indicates some reclamation efforts within the mining area, the extent of the reclaimed land remains limited. This study demonstrates the effective application of object-oriented classification in conjunction with the vegetation parameter FVC for monitoring coal mining areas. |
