description <italic>Tamarix chinensis</italic> effectively prevents coastal erosion, stabilizes the surface of coastal wetlands, and improves the soil quality of saline-alkali land, playing a crucial role in coastal wetland ecosystem restoration. <italic>Tamarix chinensis</italic> exhibits a wide distribution that is difficult to capture within a single remote sensing image, while its frequent interspersion with other vegetation results in significant intermixing. The characteristics of mixed <italic>tamarix chinensis</italic> vary substantially across remote sensing images from different scenarios, and spectral confusion further complicates the process. These factors hinder the extraction and alignment of mixed <italic>tamarix chinensis</italic> features during classification, resulting in low cross-scene classification accuracy. To address these challenges, this study proposes a deep learning-based cross-domain classification model, ER-GMMD, which leverages features extracted by deep residual networks for different mixed-growth patterns of <italic>tamarix chinensis,</italic> and integrates dual feature alignment to address the cross-scene classification challenges of mixed-species <italic>tamarix chinensis</italic>. Utilizing GF remote sensing images covering the <italic>tamarix chinensis</italic> research area in the Yellow River Delta, along with field survey data, the model achieves precise classification of different mixed <italic>tamarix chinensis</italic> types. Key results include: 1) The proposed model, trained with only 5&#x0025; of the source domain samples, achieves an overall classification accuracy of 96.52&#x0025; on the target domain samples, which is a 17.61&#x0025; improvement compared with the traditional network U-Net without domain adaptation. 2) Compared with domain adaptation algorithms DAN and S-DMM, the proposed ER-GMMD model demonstrates higher accuracy on the constructed dataset, indicating its potential for high-precision classification of mixed vegetation in coastal wetlands.
