Estimation of soil moisture and organic matter content in saline alkali farmland by using CARS algorithm combined with covariates
Rapid acquisition of the data of soil moisture content(SMC)and soil organic matter(SOM)content is crucial for the improvement and utilization of saline alkali farmland soil.Based on field measurements of hyperspec-tral reflectance and soil properties of farmland soil in the Hetao Plain,we used a competitive adaptive reweighted sampling algorithm(CARS)to screen sensitive bands after transforming the original spectral reflectance(Ref)into a standard normal variable(SNV).Strategies Ⅰ,Ⅱ,and Ⅲ were used to model the input variables of Ref,Ref SNV,Ref-SNV+soil covariate(SC),and digital elevation model(DEM).We constructed SMC and SOM estima-tion models based on random forest(RF)and light gradient boosting machine(LightGBM),and then verified and compared the accuracy of the models.The results showed that after CARS screening,the sensitive bands of SMC and SOM were compressed to below 3.3％of the entire band,which effectively optimized band selection and reduced redundant spectral information.Compared with the LightGBM model,the RF model had higher accuracy in SMC and SOM estimation,and the input variable strategy Ⅲ was better than Ⅱ and Ⅰ.The introduction of auxiliary variables effectively improved the estimation ability of the model.Based on comprehensive analysis,the coefficient of determination(Rp2),root mean square error(RMSE),and relative analysis error(RPD)of the SMC estimation model validation based on strategy Ⅲ-RF were 0.63,3.16,and 2.01,respectively.The SOM estimation models based on strategy Ⅲ-RF had Rp2,RMSE,and RPD of 0.93,1.15,and 3.52,respectively.The strategyⅢ-RF model was an effective method for estimating SMC and SOM.Our results could provide a new method for the rapid estimation of soil moisture and organic matter content in saline alkali farmland.
