摘要： Mapping the oil palm (Elaeis guineensis), the globally leading oil-bearing crop and a crucial industrial commodity, is of vital importance for food security and raw material supply. However, existing remote sensing approaches for oil palm mapping present several methodological challenges including temporal resolution constraints, suboptimal feature parameterization, and limitations in age structure assessment. This study addresses these gaps by systematically optimizing temporal, spatial, and textural parameters for enhanced oil palm mapping and age structure analysis through integration of Landsat 4/5/7/8/9, Sentinel-2 multispectral, and Sentinel-1 radar data (LSMR). Analysis of oil palm distribution and dynamics in Malaysia revealed several key insights: (1) Methodological optimization: The integrated LSMR approach achieved 94% classification accuracy through optimal parameter configuration (3-month temporal interval, 3-pixel median filter, and 3 x 3 GLCM window), significantly outperforming conventional single-sensor approaches. (2) Age estimation capabilities: The adapted LandTrendr algorithm enabled precise estimation of the plantation establishment year with an RMSE of 1.14 years, effectively overcoming saturation effects that limit traditional regression-based methods. (3) Regional expansion patterns: West Malaysia exhibits continued plantation expansion, particularly in Johor and Pahang states, while East Malaysia shows significant contraction in Sarawak (3.34 x 105 hectares decline from 2019-2023), with both regions now converging toward similar topographic preferences (100-120 m elevation, 6-7 degrees slopes). (4) Age structure concerns: Analysis identified a critical "replanting gap" with 13.3% of plantations exceeding their 25-year optimal lifespan and declining proportions of young plantations (from 60% to 47%) over the past five years. These findings provide crucial insights for sustainable land management strategies, offering policymakers an evidence-based framework to balance economic productivity with environmental conservation while addressing the identified replanting gap in one of the world's most important agricultural commodities.
