研究目的
To indicate the spectral characteristic for soil EC and pH, and propose a predicting modeling method with optimal input spectral region and transformation by comparing the support vector machine (SVM) regression method and partial least squares (PLSR) regression modeling method.
研究成果
The study successfully identified spectral characteristics for soil EC and pH, with SVM providing higher prediction accuracy than PLSR. It demonstrates the feasibility of using spectroradiometer technology for rapid soil property assessment in semi-arid grasslands, supporting future applications in hyperspectral remote sensing for soil management.
研究不足
The study is limited to a specific semi-arid grassland area, and the models may not generalize to other regions. The sample size of 72 might be small for robust modeling, and the PLSR method showed lower accuracy in external validation for EC prediction, indicating potential overfitting or need for method improvement.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study used VIS-NIR spectroscopy to model and predict soil EC and pH in a semi-arid grassland. Methods included spectral data acquisition, preprocessing (log 1/R and first derivative transformations), and regression modeling (SVM and PLSR) to compare prediction accuracies.
2:Sample Selection and Data Sources:
72 soil samples were collected from a 200 km2 semi-arid grassland area in northern China, covering grazing exclusion, overgrazing, and restoration areas, using stratified random sampling based on land use/cover maps.
3:List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
SVC HR-1024 spectroradiometer for spectral acquisition, Mettler SevenMulti pH/electrical conductivity comprehensive test instrument for EC and pH measurements, soil samples, and software tools (R package version
4:1 with PLSR toolbox and e1071 package for SVM). Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
Soil samples were collected, dried, sieved, and measured for EC and pH in the lab. Spectral measurements were taken using the spectroradiometer with whiteboard calibration and multiple readings per sample. Data preprocessing included transformations and correlation analysis. Models were built and validated using calibration and test sets.
5:Data Analysis Methods:
Pearson correlation coefficients were used to analyze relationships between spectral data and EC/pH. Model performance was evaluated using RMSE, R2, and RPD values from cross-validation and external validation.
