Soil Organic Matter Inversion Based on Imaging Spectral Data in Straw-Covered Noncultivated Land

Abstract

The rapid inversion of soil organic matter is of great significance for agricultural soil testing and fertilization in order to protect and utilize land resources effectively. This study selected the developmental base in Lishu County with typical characteristics of China’s black soil as its research area. This study established a 600 nm “bow curvature difference” spectral index and the partial least squares regression model, and the accuracy of their results was compared. The correlation between the 600 nm “bow curvature” spectral index and the soil organic matter of straw cover no-tillage is analyzed. The average soil organic matter content in the study area was 16.67 g·kg-1, and the organic matter increased significantly from NT-0 to NT-100 by 16.26 g·kg-1. The study provided a deep insight to improve the quantitative inversion methods to estimate soil organic matter.
