The real-time monitoring and driving force research of soil salinization in semi-arid grassland are of great significance for regional and local ecological environment protection, management, and sustainable development. We selected a typical &#x201C;mine-town-agriculture-pastureland-industry&#x201D; interlaced ecologically fragile area as the study area. Based on the method of SI (Salinization Index)-Brightness feature space, we constructed a new spectral index named Semi-Arid Steppe Salinization Index (SASSI), which is more suitable for soil salinization remote sensing monitoring in semi-arid steppe. The geodetector method was used to analyze the driving forces of the temporal-spatial changes of soil salinization. The results indicated that: (1) SASSI presented a high correlation with soil surface salt content (R2 = 0.7698), and made full use of multi-dimensional remote sensing information. SASSI can reflect the salinization status of surface soil. The indicator calculation was simple and easy to obtain, which was conducive to the quantitative analysis and monitoring of salinization. (2) The driving factors affecting the spatial distribution and change of soil salinization were water, surface mines, town, agriculture, industry, road network, and elevation. The salinized areas were mainly distributed around the wetlands of the Xilin River Basin, mining landscapes, and town landscapes. (3) The total area of salinized soil in the study area increased from 32.03 km2 in 2002 to 150.46 km2 in 2017. The area of salinized soil increased rapidly from 2005 to 2014, but the growth rate slowed down after 2014. The salinized soil was mainly located in the salt marsh wetland in 2002, however had spread to the whole study area in 2017. This study provides references for remote sensing monitoring of soil salinization and the impact of land use, topography and other natural factors on soil salinization in the semi-arid steppe.
