研究目的
To evaluate the suitability of different vegetation indices for assessing different levels of remotely sensed soil salinity and crop water relationships in arid environments, specifically in Wadi Ad-Dawasir, Saudi Arabia.
研究成果
The research demonstrates that remote sensing techniques are effective for soil salinity mapping and assessing hydrological drought indices in arid regions. NDII was found to be the best fit for predicting soil salinity, followed by SAVI and WSVI, while MSI performed poorly. PCA and ANN are useful complementary tools for understanding these relationships. Further work is needed to mitigate the adverse effects of salt accumulation in the study area.
研究不足
The study is specific to arid environments and may not be directly applicable to other ecosystems. The ANN model is highly parameterized and prone to overfitting, requiring careful cross-validation. The indices used are sensitive to soil and atmospheric variations, which could affect accuracy.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study uses remote sensing techniques with Landsat 8 OLI data to compute vegetation indices (WSVI, SAVI, MSI, NDII) and a soil salinity index (SI). Principal Component Analysis (PCA) and Artificial Neural Network (ANN) are employed for regression analysis to understand the relationships between soil salinity and drought indices.
2:Sample Selection and Data Sources:
The study area is Wadi Ad-Dawasir in Saudi Arabia. Data are sourced from Landsat 8 OLI satellite imagery.
3:List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
Landsat 8 OLI satellite data; computational tools for image processing and statistical analysis (specific software not named).
4:Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
Atmospheric correction and spatial enhancement of satellite data; calculation of vegetation and salinity indices using band ratios; application of PCA and ANN for regression analysis; validation using statistical measures like R, RMSE, MAD, etc.
5:Data Analysis Methods:
Statistical analysis including correlation matrices, regression parameters, PCA, and ANN with hyperbolic tangent activation function to prevent overfitting.
