Abstract

Ratoon rice (RR) has emerged as an active adaptation to climate uncertainty, stabilizing total paddy rice yield and effectively reducing agriculture-related ecological environmental issues. However, identifying key remote sensing parameters for RR under cloudy and foggy conditions is challenging, and existing RR monitoring methods in these regions face significant uncertainties. Here, given the sensitivity of synthetic aperture radar (SAR) backscattering signals to the crop phenological period, this paper introduces a threshold model utilizing Sentinel-1A SAR data and phenological information for mapping RR. The Yongchuan District of Chongqing, which is often cloudy and foggy, was selected as a specific study region where VH-polarized backscatter coefficients of Sentinel-1 images were obtained at 10 m spatial resolution in 2020. Based on the proposed threshold model, the RR extraction overall accuracy was up to 90.24%, F1 score was 0.92, and Kappa coefficient was 0.80. Further analysis showed that the extracted RR boundaries exhibited high consistency with true Sentinel-2 remote sensing images and the RR extracted area was in good agreement with the actual planted area situation. This threshold model demonstrated good applicability in the studied cloudy and foggy region, and successfully distinguished RR from other paddy rice types. The methodological framework established in this study provides a basis for extensive application in China and other significant RR-producing regions globally.
