Abstract

Along with wetland loss, wetland habitat quality degradation is a growing concern that requires immediate attention. The current study aimed to assess the Wetland Habitat Quality State (WHQS) of Rarh region, Murshidabad, West Bengal. WHQS used a total of seventeen metrics, including water quality, hydrology, and landscape composition. Machine learning techniques such as ANN, SVM, RF, BAGGING, and REP-TREE were used to model WHQS. The effectiveness of the models was evaluated using statistical techniques such as the Receiver operating characteristics (ROC) curve. According to machine learning models, 6% of the area fall under very weak habitat quality zones in 1990 which increased by 15%, 26%, 41% in 2000, 2010 and 2020, respectively. Very strong portions of wetland area have been decreased from 32.74% in 1990 to 20.72% in 2020. The current study's findings could provide comprehensive research on the monitoring of habitat quality in wetlands, which will serve as the foundation for developing water resource management plans for the conservation, management, and restoration of wetlands.

印度东部拉尔地区湿地生境质量建模

随着湿地的丧失，湿地栖息地质量的退化也日益受到关注，需要立即引起重视。本研究旨在评估西孟加拉邦穆尔希达巴德拉赫地区的湿地生境质量状况（WHQS）。WHQS共采用了十七项指标，包括水质、水文和景观构成。机器学习技术，如 ANN、SVM、RF、BAGGING 和 REP-TREE 被用于建立 WHQS 模型。这些模型的有效性通过统计技术进行评估，如接收器工作特性曲线（ROC）。根据机器学习模型，1990 年有 6% 的区域属于栖息地质量极弱区，到 2000 年、2010 年和 2020 年分别增加了 15%、26% 和 41%。极强湿地面积从 1990 年的 32.74% 下降到 2020 年的 20.72%。本次研究的结果可为湿地生境质量监测提供全面的研究，为制定湿地保护、管理和恢复的水资源管理计划奠定基础。

期刊介绍： Wetlands is an international journal concerned with all aspects of wetlands biology, ecology, hydrology, water chemistry, soil and sediment characteristics, management, and laws and regulations. The journal is published 6 times per year, with the goal of centralizing the publication of pioneering wetlands work that has otherwise been spread among a myriad of journals. Since wetlands research usually requires an interdisciplinary approach, the journal in not limited to specific disciplines but seeks manuscripts reporting research results from all relevant disciplines. Manuscripts focusing on management topics and regulatory considerations relevant to wetlands are also suitable. Submissions may be in the form of articles or short notes. Timely review articles will also be considered, but the subject and content should be discussed with the Editor-in-Chief (NDSU.wetlands.editor@ndsu.edu) prior to submission. All papers published in Wetlands are reviewed by two qualified peers, an Associate Editor, and the Editor-in-Chief prior to acceptance and publication. All papers must present new information, must be factual and original, and must not have been published elsewhere.
