Abstract
Context
The prediction of freshwater quality is important for detecting pollution risks and assessing changes in freshwater ecosystems. As a high-precision interpolation method, Kriging was able to predict freshwater quality by using previously monitored data. However, how to select the key parameters, regression functions and correlation functions of Kriging method in the process of improving prediction accuracy is still a bottleneck.
Aims
This study aims to propose an adaptive weighted-average Kriging (AWAK) method to further enhance the accuracy of freshwater-quality predictions.
Methods
The AWAK method consists of four main steps. First, the key parameters influencing pollution indicators are selected by FPS method. Subsequently, six different Kriging candidate models are constructed by using regression and correlation functions with different characteristics. Then, an enhanced-likelihood function is used to determine the weights of the six Kriging candidate models. Finally, AWAK is built by weighted sum of these six Kriging models.
Key results
The AWAK outperformed traditional Kriging in predicting pH and dissolved oxygen, significantly reducing prediction errors.
Conclusions
By employing the AWAK method, this study successfully improved the accuracy of freshwater-quality predictions.
Implications
The introduction of the AWAK provides an effective approach in the field of freshwater ecology.
期刊介绍:
Marine and Freshwater Research is an international and interdisciplinary journal publishing contributions on all aquatic environments. The journal’s content addresses broad conceptual questions and investigations about the ecology and management of aquatic environments. Environments range from groundwaters, wetlands and streams to estuaries, rocky shores, reefs and the open ocean. Subject areas include, but are not limited to: aquatic ecosystem processes, such as nutrient cycling; biology; ecology; biogeochemistry; biogeography and phylogeography; hydrology; limnology; oceanography; toxicology; conservation and management; and ecosystem services. Contributions that are interdisciplinary and of wide interest and consider the social-ecological and institutional issues associated with managing marine and freshwater ecosystems are welcomed.
Marine and Freshwater Research is a valuable resource for researchers in industry and academia, resource managers, environmental consultants, students and amateurs who are interested in any aspect of the aquatic sciences.
Marine and Freshwater Research is published with the endorsement of the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO) and the Australian Academy of Science.
