description The scientific evaluation of cropland resource utilization efficiency is crucial for ensuring food security and promoting sustainable agricultural development. At present, the research on the utilization of cropland resources primarily focuses on the multiple cropping index and cropping intensity, but these data are insufficient to reveal long-term trends and potential future changes in crop production. To fill this knowledge gap, this study took Zhenjiang City, Jiangsu Province, as a case study and proposed a method to determine the distribution and spatiotemporal change frequency of single- and double-season cropping patterns using spatiotemporal fusion and crop phenological rhythm. By combining Sentinel-2 NDVI and MOD13Q1 satellite data, a dataset with 10 m resolution was developed to show the interannual distribution frequency of the three cropping patterns in the study area. The accuracy evaluation revealed that the interannual cropping intensity distribution frequency of the three cropping patterns exhibited good verification accuracy, with an average overall accuracy and Kappa coefficient of 81.53% and 0.68, respectively. This study provides essential support for government agencies to assess future food production potential and develop policies for improving cropland use efficiency.
