Grassland plays an indispensable role in the stability and development of terrestrial ecosystems. Quantitatively assessing grassland resilience is of great significance for conducting research on grassland ecosystems. However, the quantitative measurement of resilience is difficult, and research on the spatio-temporal variation of grassland resilience remains incomplete. Utilizing the Global Land Surface Satellite (GLASS) leaf area index (LAI) product derived from MODIS remote sensing data, along with land cover and meteorological data, this paper constructed the grassland resilience index (GRI) in the west Songnen Plain, China, a typical region with salt and alkali soils. This paper analyzed the spatio-temporal changes of the GRI and explored the contribution of climate factors, human activities, and geographical factors to the GRI. The results revealed that from 2000 to 2021, the GRI in the study area ranged from 0.1 to 0.22, with a multi-year average of 0.14. The average GRI exhibited a pattern of high-value aggregations in the north and low-value distributions in the south. Trend analysis indicated that areas with an improved GRI accounted for 59.09% of the total grassland area, but there were still some areas with serious degradation. From 2000 to 2015, the latitude and mean annual temperature (MAT) were principal factors to control the distribution of the GRI. In 2020, the mean annual precipitation (MAP) and MAT played important roles in the distribution of the GRI. From 2000 to 2021, the influence of human activities was consistently less significant compared to geographical location and climate variables.
