As the largest terrestrial carbon pool, soil organic carbon (SOC) has the\u0000potential to influence and mitigate climate change; thus, SOC monitoring is of high importance\u0000in the frameworks of various international treaties. Therefore, high-resolution SOC maps are required. Machine learning (ML) offers new\u0000opportunities to develop these maps due to its ability to data mine large\u0000datasets. The aim of this study was to apply three algorithms commonly used\u0000in digital soil mapping – random forest (RF), boosted regression trees\u0000(BRT), and support vector machine for regression (SVR) – on the first German\u0000agricultural soil inventory to model the agricultural topsoil (0–30 cm) SOC\u0000content and develop a two-model approach to address the high variability in\u0000SOC in German agricultural soils. Model performance is often limited by the\u0000size and quality of the soil dataset available for calibration and\u0000validation. Therefore, the impact of enlarging the training dataset was tested\u0000by including data from the European Land Use/Cover Area frame Survey\u0000for agricultural sites in Germany. Nested cross-validation was implemented\u0000for model evaluation and parameter tuning. Grid search and the differential\u0000evolution algorithm were also applied to ensure that each algorithm was\u0000appropriately tuned . The SOC content of the German agricultural soil\u0000inventory was highly variable, ranging from 4 to 480 g kg−1. However, only 4 % of all soils contained more than 87 g kg−1 SOC and were considered organic or degraded organic soils. The\u0000results showed that SVR produced the best performance, with a root-mean-square error (RMSE) of 32 g kg−1 when the algorithms were trained on the full dataset. However, the\u0000average RMSE of all algorithms decreased by 34 % when mineral and organic\u0000soils were modelled separately, with the best result from SVR presenting an RMSE of\u000021 g kg−1. The model performance was enhanced by up to 1 % for\u0000mineral soils and by up to 2 % for organic soils. Despite the ability of machine\u0000learning algorithms, in general, and SVR, in particular, to model SOC on a\u0000national scale, the study showed that the most important aspect for\u0000improving the model performance was to separate the modelling of mineral and\u0000organic soils.\u0000","PeriodicalId":22015,"journal":{"name":"Soil Science","volume":"40 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-09-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83395252","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We present methods to evaluate the spatial patterns of the geographic distribution of soil properties in the USA, as shown in gridded maps produced by digital soil mapping (DSM) at global (SoilGrids v2), national (Soil Properties and Class 100 m Grids of the USA), and regional (POLARIS soil properties) scales and compare them to spatial patterns known from detailed field surveys (gNATSGO and gSSURGO). The methods are illustrated with an example, i.e. topsoil pH for an area in central New York state. A companion report examines other areas, soil properties, and depth intervals. A set of R Markdown scripts is referenced so that readers can apply the analysis for areas of their interest. For the test case, we discover and discuss substantial discrepancies between DSM products and large differences between the DSM products and legacy field surveys. These differences are in whole-map statistics, visually identifiable landscape features, level of detail, range and strength of spatial autocorrelation, landscape metrics (Shannon diversity and evenness, shape, aggregation, mean fractal dimension, and co-occurrence vectors), and spatial patterns of property maps classified by histogram equalization. Histograms and variogram analysis revealed the smoothing effect of machine learning models. Property class maps made by histogram equalization were substantially different, but there was no consistent trend in their landscape metrics. The model using only national points and covariates was not substantially different from the global model and, in some cases, introduced artefacts from a lithology covariate. Uncertainty (5 %–95 % confidence intervals) provided by SoilGrids and POLARIS were unrealistically wide compared to gNATSGO/gSSURGO low and high estimated values and show substantially different spatial patterns. We discuss the potential use of the DSM products as a (partial) replacement for field-based soil surveys.

Soil ecological stoichiometry offers a tool to explore the distribution,\u0000cycling, limitation, and balance of chemical elements in tea plantation\u0000ecosystems.

Mining can cause severe disturbances to the soil, which underpins the viability of terrestrial ecosystems. Post-mining rehabilitation relies on measuring soil properties that are critical indicators of soil health. Soil visible–near-infrared (vis–NIR) spectroscopy is rapid, accurate, and cost-effective for estimating a range of soil properties. Recent advances in infrared detectors and microelectromechanical systems (MEMSs) have produced miniaturised, relatively inexpensive spectrometers. Here, we evaluate the spectra from four miniaturised visible and NIR spectrometers, some combinations, and a full-range vis–NIR spectrometer for modelling 29 soil physical, chemical, and biological properties used to assess soil health at mine sites. We collected topsoil samples from reference, undisturbed native vegetation, and stockpiles from seven mines in Western Australia. We evaluated the spectrometers' repeatability and the accuracy of spectroscopic models built with seven statistical and machine learning algorithms. The spectra from the visible spectrometer could estimate sand, silt, and clay with similar or better accuracy than the NIR spectrometers. However, the spectra from the NIR spectrometers produced better estimates of soil chemical and biological properties. By combining the miniaturised visible and NIR spectrometers, we improved the accuracy of their soil property estimates, which were similar to those from the full-range spectrometer. The miniaturised spectrometers and combinations predicted 24 of the 29 soil properties with moderate or greater accuracy (Lin's concordance correlation, ρc≥0.65). The repeatability of the NIR spectrometers was similar to that of the full-range, portable spectrometer. The miniaturised NIR spectrometers produced comparably accurate soil property estimates to the full-range portable system which is an order of magnitude more expensive, particularly when combined with the visible range sensor. Thus, the miniaturised spectrometers could form the basis for a rapid, cost-effective soil diagnostic capacity to support mine site rehabilitation and deliver significant positive economic and environmental outcomes.\u0000","PeriodicalId":22015,"journal":{"name":"Soil Science","volume":"19 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-07-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"88733631","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Borchard, J. Leifeld","doi":"10.5194/soil-8-451-2022","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.5194/soil-8-451-2022","url":null,"abstract":"Abstract. Black carbon (BC) plays an important role in terrestrial\u0000carbon storage and can sustainably improve soil fertility. However, the\u0000accurate quantification of BC remains critical to fully unravelling the\u0000functions and dynamics of BC in soil. In this study, we explored the\u0000potential of differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) to identify,\u0000characterize and quantify charcoal in the soil of pre-industrial charcoal\u0000kiln sites from various forest and cropland areas in Belgium and Germany.\u0000Pre-industrial charcoals and uncharred soil organic matter (SOM)\u0000demonstrated a distinct thermal signature that could be used to distinguish\u0000between them, with charcoal being more thermally stable than SOM. The DSC\u0000pattern of charcoals was characterized by one to three specific exothermic peaks,\u0000varying in size and position depending on soil conditions. Our data suggest\u0000that the thermal moieties within charcoal depend on the strength of chemical\u0000bonds of C atoms (increasing with the degree of aromatic condensation and\u0000decreasing with weathering) and on the activation energy required to\u0000initiate combustion. Despite the specific thermal features of charcoal, its\u0000decomposition spans a wide range of temperatures that overlaps with the\u0000thermal signature of uncharred SOM. This stresses the challenge of BC\u0000quantification in soil and hinders the use of cut-off temperatures to\u0000accurately quantify charcoal in soil. Therefore, charcoal-C content was\u0000estimated from the relative height of exothermic peaks, attributed either to the\u0000combustion of charcoal or SOM. For a selection of 45 soil samples,\u0000charcoal-C content estimated by DSC was compared to benzene polycarboxylic\u0000acid (BPCA) abundance, a widely used method to quantify BC in soil. The two\u0000methods correlated strongly (R2=0.97), with BPCA C\u0000representing about one-fifth of DSC-derived charcoal C. This reinforces the\u0000view that operationally defined BC content has an absolute quantitative\u0000value only if the recovery rate is controlled, which is very complicated for\u0000many case studies.
