Utilizing a DUALEM‐421 and inversion modelling to map baseline soil salinity along toposequences in the Hunter Valley Wine district

In the oldest commercial wine district of Australia, the Hunter Valley, there is the threat of soil salinization because marine sediments underlie the area. To understand the risk requires information about the spatial distribution of soil properties. Electromagnetic (EM) induction instruments have been used to identify and map the spatial variation of average soil salinity to a certain depth. However, soils vary with depth dependent on soil forming factors. We collected data from a single‐frequency and multiple‐coil DUALEM‐421 along a toposequence. We inverted this data using EM4Soil software and evaluated the resultant 2‐dimensional model of true electrical conductivity (σ – mS/m) with depth against electrical conductivity of saturated soil pastes (EC_p – dS/m). Using a fitted linear regression (LR) model calibration approach and by varying the forward model (cumulative function‐CF and full solution‐FS), inversion algorithm (S1 and S2), damping factor (λ) and number of arrays, we determined a suitable electromagnetic conductivity image (EMCI), which was optimal (R² = 0.82) when using the full solution, S2, λ = 3.6 and all six coil arrays. We conducted an uncertainty analysis of the LR model used to estimate the electrical conductivity of the saturated soil‐paste extract (EC_e – dS/m). Our interpretation based on estimates of EC_e suggests the approach can identify differences in salinity, how these vary with parent material and how topography influences salt distribution. The results provide information leading to insights into how soil forming factors and agricultural practices influence salinity down a toposequence and how this can guide soil management practices.     

Relationships of Spectral Reflectance with Plant Tissue Mineral Elements of Common Bean (Phaseolus Vulgaris L.) Under Drought and Salinity Stresses

ABSTRACT

Salinity and drought stresses are critical for Phaseolus vulgaris L. growth and development. They affect plants in various ways, including tissue mineral element content. Micro- and macro-elements in leaves of Phaseolus vulgaris L. (cv. ‘Blue lake’ and cv. ‘Terli’) subjected to deficit irrigation and salinity treatments were investigated, both analytically and with regards to their effect on the leaves’ spectral reflectance. B (boron), K (potassium), Mn (manganese), Na (sodium), Si (silicon) and Zn (zinc) appeared to be influenced by stress factors, mainly responding to salinity increase. The leaf spectral reflectance of the plants appeared to be significantly correlated with most of the elements under investigation. Multivariate regression identified a relationship of the reflectance at particular regions of the spectrum with phosphorus and NDVI (normalized difference vegetation index) and indicated a significant correlation with B, Fe (iron), K, Mn, P (phosphorus) and Zn. Moreover, customized spectral indices, exhibiting significantly high correlation with B, Fe, K, Mg (magnesium), Mn, Na, P, Zn and N (nitrogen), were developed.

猕猴桃叶片叶绿素含量高光谱估算模型研究

【目的】研究猕猴桃叶片叶绿素含量的高光谱估算方法,为猕猴桃长势的遥感监测提供理论依据。【方法】以陕西杨凌蒋家寨村2018年不同生育期(初花期、幼果期、膨果期、壮果期、果实成熟期)的猕猴桃叶片为研究对象,分别测定其高光谱反射率和叶绿素含量(SPAD值),分析原始光谱和5个常见的植被指数(归一化植被指数、归一化叶绿素指数、改进的叶绿素吸收反射率指数、MERIS地面叶绿素指数、土壤调整指数)与叶绿素含量之间的相关关系,提取各生育期的特征波段,分别建立基于特征波段和植被指数的单波段叶绿素含量一元线性估算模型。利用主成分分析对原始光谱数据进行降维,将得到的主成分得分作为随机森林模型的输入变量,建立基于多波段信息的叶绿素含量多元估算模型,并对模型进行精度验证和分析。【结果】不同生育期猕猴桃叶片光谱反射率变化趋势基本一致,整体趋势为可见光波段反射率低,近红外波段反射率高;在可见光波段,光谱反射率随着叶绿素含量的升高而降低;在近红外波段,光谱反射率则随着叶绿素含量的增加而升高。通过相关性分析可知,初花期、幼果期、膨果期、壮果期、果实成熟期原始光谱的特征波段分别为729,548,707,707和712 nm,估算模型决定系数(R~2)分别为0.18,0.85,0.54,0.85和0.82,其中初花期估算模型未通过显著性检验,其余生育期均通过极显著性检验。在5个常用植被指数中,初花期与叶绿素含量相关性最高的是归一化叶绿素指数(NPCI),但是估算模型决定系数R~2只有0.1,未通过显著性检验;其他生育期与叶绿素含量相关性最高的是MERIS地面叶绿素指数(MTCI),所建立的估算模型拟合效果好,预测精度高。基于主成分分析和随机森林回归建立的不同生育期猕猴桃叶片叶绿素含量估算模型的R~2在0.91～0.98,均通过极显著性检验,其拟合效果和预测精度远高于单波段一元线性回归和基于植被指数的一元线性回归模型,是估算猕猴桃叶片叶绿素含量的最优模型。【结论】基于主成分分析的随机森林模型包含了更完整的波段信息,对不同生育期猕猴桃叶片叶绿素含量具有较好的预测能力。

砂田抑制蒸发功能随覆砂年限的演变规律

【目的】研究压砂覆盖(砂田)保温及抑制蒸发功能随砂田退化程度的演变规律。【方法】基于多年Landsat卫星数据,使用辐射传输方程法反演香山地区砂田地表温度(LST),结合田间地表温度监测,对比砂田与裸地的地表温度变化,分析了砂田抑制土壤蒸发的机理,并探讨了砂田的功效与砂田使用年限的关系。【结果】砂田在LST-NDVI梯形空间中贴近于暖边,其土壤水分比耕地少,接近于干土层。因此,砂田可以隔离辐射与土壤表层,从而减小潜热通量,抑制土壤蒸发。砂田昼夜温差明显比裸地大,且对于西瓜等作物,砂田的有效地表积温也比裸地提高了10%。【结论】砂田退化过程可分为纯砾石阶段、砂土混合阶段和砂土连通阶段,从砂田的保温及抑制蒸发功能来看,砂田的有效使用年限为25～30 a。

Time‐lapse monitoring of soil water content using electromagnetic conductivity imaging

The volumetric soil water content (θ) is fundamental to agriculture because its spatiotemporal variation in soil affects the growth of plants. Unfortunately, the universally accepted thermogravimetric method for estimating volumetric soil water content is very labour intensive and time‐consuming for use in field‐scale monitoring. Electromagnetic (EM) induction instruments have proven to be useful in mapping the spatiotemporal variation of θ. However, depth‐specific variation in θ, which is important for irrigation management, has been little explored. The objective of this study was to develop a relationship between θ and estimates of true electrical conductivity (σ) and to use this relationship to develop time‐lapse images of soil θ beneath a centre‐pivot irrigated alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) crop in San Jacinto, California, USA. We first measured the bulk apparent electrical conductivity (EC_a – mS/m) using a DUALEM‐421 over a period of 12 days after an irrigation event (i.e. days 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8 and 12). We used EM4Soil to generate EM conductivity images (EMCIs). We used a physical model to estimate θ from σ, accounting for soil tortuosity and pore water salinity, with a cross‐validation RMSE of 0.04 cm³/cm³. Testing the scenario where no soil information is available, we used a three‐parameter exponential model to relate θ to σ and then to map θ along the transect on different days. The results allowed us to monitor the spatiotemporal variations of θ across the surveyed area, over the 12‐day period. In this regard, we were able to map the soil close to field capacity (0.27 cm³/cm³) and approaching permanent wilting point (0.03 cm³/cm³). The time‐lapse θ monitoring approach, developed using EMCI, has implications for soil and water use and management and will potentially allow farmers and consultants to identify inefficiencies in water application rates and use. It can also be used as a research tool to potentially assist precision irrigation practices and to test the efficacy of different methods of irrigation in terms of water delivery and efficiency in water use in near real time.
