多角度遥感估算稀疏团粒分布型土壤表面粗糙度方法初探

表面粗糙度是影响土壤在微波波段发射和散射辐射的主要因素之一,也是微波遥感研究与应用的重要参量。由于微波后向散射还受介电特性、穿透深度等因素的影响,在微波遥感应用中往往难以单独考虑介质表面粗糙度,给参数估算与反演带来了一定困难。在可见光、近红外波段,粗糙度作为土壤表面重要的结构参数之一,直接影响着土壤的二向反射分布特征。因此,本文尝试利用光学多角度观测信息,反演土壤表面粗糙度。基于地表二向反射几何光学模型,假设裸土像元由随机分布于平坦表面的土壤团粒组成,将团粒近似为半椭球体,建立裸露土壤表面二向反射模型,模拟不同粗糙度条件下土壤表面像元的二向反射分布特征。进一步尝试采用多角度观测数据反演模型,估算土壤团粒的几何结构参数,进而计算土壤表面均方根高度,作为表面粗糙度的衡量指标。地面实测多角度数据的初步验证结果表明,多角度光学遥感估算土壤表面粗糙度的方法是可行的。     

基于RS和USLE的红壤丘陵区小流域水土流失量估算

采用野外调查采样、室内分析测定、遥感(RS)技术、数学模型等研究方法,以湖南省资兴市东江水库上游光河桥小流域为例,计算出了美国通用土壤流失方程(USLE)中各单项因子值,对该流域水土流失量进行了估算.结果表明:该流域的土壤可蚀性因子(K值)介于0.14～0.42 t·hm2.h.hm-2.MJ-1.mm-1之间,平均为0.27 t·hm2.h.hm-2.MJ-1,mm-1,属于中等可侵蚀性土壤;土壤侵蚀模数在0 ～3 817 t·hm-2·a-1之间,平均侵蚀模数为78 t.hm-2.a-1,处于强度侵蚀等级,流域的土壤侵蚀量达到292 266 t·a-1.     

UHV/VHF波段SAR对次地表层土壤湿度探测与反演

首先采用一层非球形粒子植被模型,计算各波段矢量辐射传输方程Mueller矩阵一阶散射解,对比微扰法所得各波段地表粗糙面直接后向散射解,结果证明L波段植被层的散射对观测结果仍有影响,与下垫土壤粗糙表面的散射不易分离.因此,宜采用更低频率的UHF和VHF波段,对地表和次地表层能有较大的渗透深度,并可忽略植被层影响.接着,运用矢量辐射传输的3层土壤全极化Mueller矩阵解,计算UHF/VHF波段分层土壤的散射与传输,分析该两波段探测深度的差异,证实UHF波段可探测大致10-60cm深处的土壤湿度,而VHF波段探测深度能更大一些.根据第3层中土壤体湿度变化0.1时能否引起土壤表面观测的后向散射系数变化0.1dB这一判据,分析VHF波段反演第3层土壤体湿度的必要条件,证实当第2层的体湿度较小时(<0.25)才能反演层3的体温度.基于UHF/VHF两波段探测深度的差异,耗散土壤层的贡献有不同的权重,先后采用UHF和VHF,迭代法实现3层土壤湿度廓线反演.误差分析表明,该方法是有意义的.     

中国西部地区基于经验模型的土壤水分反演

地表土壤水分含量的时空分布信息是十分重要的,常常作为水文模型、气候模型、生态模型的输入参数,同时,也是干旱预报、农作物估产等工作的重要指标。被动微波遥感是监测土壤含水量最有效的手段之一。相比红外与可见光,它具有波长长,穿透能力强的优势。相比主动微波雷达,被动微波辐射计具有监测面积大、周期短,受粗糙度影响小,对土壤水分更为敏感,算法更为成熟的优势。目前,已研究出许多反演土壤水分的方法.本课题的主要内容是借助AMSR-E土壤水分影像数据、MODIS归一化植被指数(NDVI)影像数据和MODIS分类影像数据,利用ENVI软件进行遥感图像数据处理,运用统计分析方法建立NDVI与土壤水分的经验模型,研究中国西部地区稀疏植被覆盖区土壤水分的反演。     

土壤有机物质对土壤介电常数的影响

土壤介电常数是开展微波土壤水分和冻融状态的监测的基础,也是植被和积雪的下垫面边界条件,然而目前已有的介电常数研究都没有对高有机质含量的土壤开展系统观测。本文将土壤中的自然有机物质分为腐殖质和植物性残留物两类。采用控制变量实验方法,通过测量5种不同有机质含量的东北黑土和加入不同比例毛白杨碎屑的扁都口草甸土,研究了腐殖质和植物性残留物的对土壤介电常数的影响。结果表明,腐殖质会降低干燥土壤的容重,从而发挥间接作用,使介电常数降低;而对于相同容重下观测的潮湿土壤,腐殖质含量较多的土壤介电常数更大。与Dobson模型的比较显示,在29℃室温下,腐殖质对25%重量含水量潮湿土壤实部的影响在±2左右,虚部能达到1。与腐殖质相比,植物性残留物对风干土壤和潮湿土壤的影响都十分明显。植物性残留物能有效地疏松土壤并代入植物组分的介电特征。当重量含水量为30%时,含毛白杨含量为20%的混合土壤比纯扁都口土壤在实部平均减小3—7左右,虚部减小 1—3左右。因此,根据实验观测以及和模型的比较,土壤中的有机物质会改变土壤介电性质,对微波遥感造成影响。     

基于电磁感应的干旱区土壤盐渍化定量遥感研究

以南疆典型干旱区Landsat 7 ETM+遥感图像为数据源,利用决策树分类法提取农业用地,并对农业用地进行移动式电磁感应调查(简称磁感调查)和光谱特征提取,同时分析磁感数据和图像光谱特征与土壤盐分含量的相关性,从而建立土壤盐分的定量反演模型。研究结果表明:土地利用类型决策树的分类精度达到93.75%,Kappa系数达0.915 4;经多元逐步回归分析,磁感调查获得的土壤盐分含量与差值植被指数(DVI)、ETM+图像第二波段像元值(B2)以及比值植被指数(RVI)间具有显著相关性,由此建立的遥感反演模型可用于土壤盐分含量的定量反演。经89个样点检验,基于磁感调查的土壤盐分遥感反演精度虽低于基于磁感调查的地统计空间分析的精度,但遥感定量反演值与磁感调查实测值仍具有良好的相关性,而且精度较高,因此利用本文方法进行土壤盐渍化大面积监测是快速有效的途径。

Computerized database on salt affected soils in western and central India using GIS

Salt affected soils occupy significant areas in western and central India manifested by the arid and semiarid climate, sandy/clayey soil texture, absence of natural drainage, and inadequate infrastructure and irrigation development. These soils are productive following reclamation and appropriate management. The National Remote Sensing Agency, Hyderabad (India) published state-wise maps of salt affected soils in India on 1:250,000 scale using a legend that includes physiography, soil characteristics, and the aerial extent of the mapping units. In the analogue form, voluminous data contained in such maps were difficult to handle by users of varied backgrounds. An attempt was made to prepare a computerized database of salt affected soils for easy access, retrieval, and manipulation of spatial and attribute data useful for management of salt affected soils. The salt affected soils maps were prepared, for Rajasthan, Gujarat, Madhya Pradesh, and Maharashtra states, overlaying digitized layers of SAS polygons and the Survey of India basemap using the ILWIS (Integrated Land and Water Information System) software. GIS was used to prepare a composite (master) database of western and central India that showed the extent and distribution of salt affected soils. A relational database was prepared combining the digitized polygons with soil characteristics such as nature and degree of salinity (presence of higher concentration of neutral salts and neutral soil reaction), sodicity (presence of higher concentration of basic salts and alkaline reaction) and ground coverage. The regional and zonal databases of salt affected soils were prepared at a suitable scale overlaying agro-climatic regions agro-climatic zones. Spatial relation of salt affected soils with physiography, climate, geology, and agro-eco-sub-regions were evaluated employing map calculations in GIS. Saline soils were prevalent in Gujarat, and Rajasthan while sodic soils were dominant in Maharashtra and Madhya Pradesh. These were distributed primarily in the arid (B) plain of Rajasthan, alluvial (A) and coastal (D) plains of Gujarat, and peninsular plain (F) of Maharashtra and Madhya Pradesh. It occupied 2,596,942 ha (78%) in the western (Rajasthan and Gujarat) and 733,608 ha (22%) in the central (Madhya Pradesh and Maharashtra) regions. The SAS occupied 3.3 million ha in the western and central region constituting 50% of the total salt affected soils in India. The saline and sodic soils occupied 2,069,285 ha (62%) and 1,261,266 ha (38%), respectively.     

Monthly soil erosion monitoring based on remotely sensed biophysical parameters: a case study in Strymonas river basin towards a functional pan-European service

Abstract

Currently, many soil erosion studies at local, regional, national or continental scale use models based on the USLE-family approaches. Applications of these models pay little attention to seasonal changes, despite evidence in the literature which suggests that erosion risk may change rapidly according to intra-annual rainfall figures and vegetation phenology. This paper emphasises the aspect of seasonality in soil erosion mapping by using month-step rainfall erosivity data and biophysical time series data derived from remote-sensing. The latter, together with other existing pan-European geo-databases sets the basis for a functional pan-European service for soil erosion monitoring at a scale of 1:500,000. This potential service has led to the establishment of a new modelling approach (called the G2 model) based on the inheritance of USLE-family models. The G2 model proposes innovative techniques for the estimation of vegetation and protection factors. The model has been applied in a 14,500 km² study area in SE Europe covering a major part of the basin of the cross-border river, Strymonas. Model results were verified with erosion and sedimentation figures from previous research. The study confirmed that monthly erosion mapping would identify the critical months and would allow erosion figures to be linked to specific land uses.
