Estimating Organic Matter Content in Hyperspectral Wetland Soil Using Marine-Predators-Algorithm-Based Random Forest and Multiple Differential Transformations

To achieve a rapid and accurate estimation of the soil organic matter (SOM) content in wetland soil, we focused on surface soil samples from the Xianshan Lake wetland area in Zhejiang Province and proposed a novel method called Marine-Predators-Algorithm-Based Random Forest (MPARF) to establish a fast detection model for the SOM content. This study analyzed 85 soil samples from the study area with the aim of assessing the performance of various combinations of ten differential transformation methods and five regression algorithms in predicting the SOM content. Our research findings demonstrate that the combination of second-order differentiation (SD) and MPARF yields the best results, with the highest R2 value (0.92) and the lowest RMSE (1.32 g/kg). Furthermore, we determined that the average SOM content in the study area’s soil is 9.77 g/kg. Additionally, we confirmed that different differential transformation methods contribute to improving the correlation between spectral data and the SOM content, thereby enhancing the development of predictive models. This study provides a robust methodology and foundation for future soil organic matter monitoring in the region.
