摘要： Short-rotation eucalyptus plantations play a key positive role in the forestry economy due to their fast-growing and high-yielding properties. However, some studies have suggested that eucalyptus plantations introductions may have negative impacts on biodiversity and ecosystems' stability. In order to precisely and promptly determine the influence of eucalyptus plantations on soil characteristics and hydrological processes, based on the rotation change rules of eucalyptus plantations, this study combined the continuous change detection and classification and spectral mixture analysis (CCDC-SMA) algorithm and the random forest (RF) algorithm to map the distribution and stand age of short-rotation eucalyptus plantations in Hainan Island. First, the forest distribution map was used to mask out the rubber plantations, and forest disturbances were extracted through the CCDC-SMA algorithm to determine the potential short-rotation eucalyptus plantations distribution. Second, using CCDC-SMA algorithm fitting coefficients, field surveys, original spectral bands, vegetation indices, and digital elevation models (DEM) as inputs to the RF algorithm, short-rotation eucalyptus plantations distribution maps were created and evaluated based on Google Earth images. Finally, the stand age of the newly mapped short-rotation eucalyptus plantations was estimated based on the breakpoints of the CCDC-SMA algorithm. The results showed that the producer, user, and overall accuracies of the 2022 short-rotation eucalyptus plantations map were estimated at 0.95, 0.95, and 0.94, respectively, and the validation R-2 of the estimated stand ages was at 0.97. The eucalyptus plantations in Hainan Island had a total area of roughly 9.93 x 10(4) ha in 2022. Danzhou City had the highest planting area of eucalyptus plantations, followed by Changjiang County, Chengmai County, and Lingao County. It was worth noting that the eucalyptus plantations were mostly located in places with low altitudes (<200 m) and flat slopes (<10 degrees). Approximately 43.91% of eucalyptus plantations were located in the three major watersheds. In addition, the 1-year-old eucalyptus plantations accounted for the highest areal percentage of 30.58%. These datasets are valuable tools to aid sustainable production, ecological assessment, and conservation of eucalyptus plantations.
