Improvement of crop growth simulations under different drip irrigation modes by jointly assimilating UAV multimodal data into crop models
Accurate crop monitoring is essential for agricultural planning and food security. This study developed a coupling framework of unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) multimodal data and crop models based on a sequential data assimilation method, offering technical support for crop growth simulation and precision management under drip irrigation modes in the Hexi Corridor of Northwest China. Multispectral and thermal infrared image data of spring maize at different growth stages were acquired via UAVs. The UAV-derived leaf area index (LAI) and soil moisture (SM) were assimilated into the WOFOST model using the ensemble Kalman filter (EnKF). Three assimilation schemes including (a) LAI, (b) SM, and (c) LAI+SM were compared to explore the effects of different mulching treatments (mulched vs. non-mulched) and irrigation gradients on assimilation performance under drip irrigation modes. Our results showed that the fusion of UAV-based multispectral and thermal infrared multimodal data enabled accurate retrieval of LAI and SM, with a maximum R² of 0.85. The three assimilation schemes exhibited significant differences, and the joint assimilation of LAI and SM outperformed the others. This may be since LAI and SM, as key indicators of crop growth and development, undergo dynamic changes throughout the growth period, and their joint assimilation fully captures the temporal variability of crops and soil. In addition, the proposed framework demonstrated marked variations in simulation accuracy across different drip irrigation modes. Overall, the performance for shallow buried drip irrigation (SBDI) was superior to that for surface drip irrigation (SDI) and film-mulched drip irrigation (FDI). This may be attributed to the direct influence on soil evaporation and evapotranspiration under the latter two modes, which in turn modifies crop growth and development processes and ultimately affects the model's simulation accuracy.
期刊介绍:
Agricultural and Forest Meteorology is an international journal for the publication of original articles and reviews on the inter-relationship between meteorology, agriculture, forestry, and natural ecosystems. Emphasis is on basic and applied scientific research relevant to practical problems in the field of plant and soil sciences, ecology and biogeochemistry as affected by weather as well as climate variability and change. Theoretical models should be tested against experimental data. Articles must appeal to an international audience. Special issues devoted to single topics are also published.
Typical topics include canopy micrometeorology (e.g. canopy radiation transfer, turbulence near the ground, evapotranspiration, energy balance, fluxes of trace gases), micrometeorological instrumentation (e.g., sensors for trace gases, flux measurement instruments, radiation measurement techniques), aerobiology (e.g. the dispersion of pollen, spores, insects and pesticides), biometeorology (e.g. the effect of weather and climate on plant distribution, crop yield, water-use efficiency, and plant phenology), forest-fire/weather interactions, and feedbacks from vegetation to weather and the climate system.
