Abstract

Soil organic matter (SOM) is a primary source of soil nutrients, and accurately estimating SOM content is crucial for boosting agricultural productivity and enhancing soil fertility. Addressing the challenges of high spatial heterogeneity of SOM across large regions and complex soil environments, this study presents a new paradigm for SOM prediction using Lab-measured spectral data (VIS-NIR-SWIR) integrated with advanced deep learning techniques. In this paradigm, hyperspectral reflectance data from 1087 surface soil samples were combined with results from China's second national soil census. Three grouping strategies were tested: no-grouping (NG), traditional grouping (TG), and spectral feature difference grouping (SG). Four modeling algorithms—random forests (RF), convolutional neural networks (CNN), long short-term memory networks (LSTM), and the improved A-LSTM model—along with four spectral preprocessing methods (raw spectra, continuum removal, fractional-order differential, and spectral characteristic parameters (SCPs)-extracted spectra) were evaluated for quantifying SOM content. The following conclusions were drawn: (1) The new paradigm integrates various grouping strategies, models, and inputs. The highest prediction accuracy (R² = 0.89, RMSE = 0.55 %) was achieved by combining the A-LSTM model with SCPs as input variables and SG as the grouping strategy. (2) The A-LSTM increased R² by 0.22, 0.15, and 0.04, and reduced RMSE by 0.36 %, 0.45 %, and 0.06 %, respectively, compared to other models. Additionally, the new paradigm demonstrates strong performance in SOM prediction by optimizing the combination of grouping strategies, models, and inputs, establishing it as the optimal approach. Notably, errors in the low (0–2 %) and high (8–10 %) SOM content intervals were significantly reduced. (3) Among the grouping strategies, SG was the most effective, followed by TG, with SG increasing R² by 0.31 compared to NG. (4) Among the input variables, the SCPs-based prediction model performed the best, improving R² by 0.35 compared to the original spectra. The proposed A-LSTM model successfully captured the nonlinear relationship between spectra and organic matter, offering strong technical support for future large-scale SOM monitoring.
东北软土区农田土壤有机质高光谱预测新模式
土壤有机质(SOM)是土壤养分的主要来源,准确估算土壤有机质含量对提高农业生产力和土壤肥力至关重要。针对大区域和复杂土壤环境中土壤有机质空间异质性高的挑战,本研究提出了一种利用实验室测量光谱数据(VIS-NIR-SWIR)与先进深度学习技术相结合的土壤有机质预测新范式。在这个范例中,来自1087个表层土壤样本的高光谱反射数据与中国第二次全国土壤普查的结果相结合。测试了三种分组策略:无分组(NG)、传统分组(TG)和光谱特征差异分组(SG)。采用随机森林(RF)、卷积神经网络(CNN)、长短期记忆网络(LSTM)和改进的A-LSTM模型四种建模算法,以及四种光谱预处理方法(原始光谱、连续统去除、分数阶微分和光谱特征参数(SCPs)提取光谱)对SOM含量进行了量化评估。结论如下:(1)新范式整合了各种分组策略、模型和输入。以scp为输入变量、SG为分组策略的A-LSTM模型预测精度最高(R²= 0.89,RMSE = 0.55 %)。(2)与其他模型相比,A-LSTM的R²分别提高了0.22、0.15和0.04,RMSE分别降低了0.36 %、0.45 %和0.06 %。此外,新范式通过优化分组策略、模型和输入的组合,在SOM预测中表现出强大的性能,并将其确立为最优方法。值得注意的是,低(0-2 %)和高(8-10 %)SOM含量区间的误差显著降低。(3)在分组策略中,SG最有效,TG次之,SG比NG提高R²0.31。(4)在输入变量中,基于scps的预测模型表现最好,比原始光谱提高了0.35 R²。所提出的A-LSTM模型成功捕获了光谱与有机质之间的非线性关系,为未来大规模SOM监测提供了强有力的技术支持。

期刊介绍: Soil & Tillage Research examines the physical, chemical and biological changes in the soil caused by tillage and field traffic. Manuscripts will be considered on aspects of soil science, physics, technology, mechanization and applied engineering for a sustainable balance among productivity, environmental quality and profitability. The following are examples of suitable topics within the scope of the journal of Soil and Tillage Research: The agricultural and biosystems engineering associated with tillage (including no-tillage, reduced-tillage and direct drilling), irrigation and drainage, crops and crop rotations, fertilization, rehabilitation of mine spoils and processes used to modify soils. Soil change effects on establishment and yield of crops, growth of plants and roots, structure and erosion of soil, cycling of carbon and nutrients, greenhouse gas emissions, leaching, runoff and other processes that affect environmental quality. Characterization or modeling of tillage and field traffic responses, soil, climate, or topographic effects, soil deformation processes, tillage tools, traction devices, energy requirements, economics, surface and subsurface water quality effects, tillage effects on weed, pest and disease control, and their interactions.
