摘要： Accurately quantifying grazing intensity (GI) is crucial for assessing grassland utilization and supporting sustainable management. Traditional livestock-based approaches cannot capture the spatial heterogeneity of grazing or its dynamic response to climate variability. The objective of this study was to develop a remote sensing-based quantitative framework for estimating GI across the Inner Mongolian grasslands. The framework integrates MODIS vegetation indices, ERA5-Land climate variables, topographic factors, and field-measured data and GI was quantified as the proportional difference between potential and satellite-derived aboveground biomass (AGB), providing a spatially explicit measure of forage utilization. In this framework, potential AGB (AGBp) represents the climate-driven growth capacity under ungrazed conditions reconstructed using machine learning models, whereas satellite-derived AGB (AGBs) denotes the standing AGB remaining under current grazing pressure. Validation using 324 paired grazed–ungrazed plots demonstrated strong agreement between modeled and observed GI (R2 = 0.65, RMSE = 0.18). This AGB-difference-based approach provides an effective and scalable tool for large-scale rangeland monitoring, offering quantitative insights into grass–livestock balance, ecological restoration, and adaptive management in arid and semi-arid regions.
