Wavelet geographically weighted regression for spectroscopic modelling of soil properties

Abstract Soil properties, such as organic carbon, pH and clay content, are critical indicators of ecosystem function. Visible–near infrared (vis–NIR) reflectance spectroscopy has been widely used to cost-efficiently estimate such soil properties. Multivariate modelling, such as partial least squares...

Wavelet geographically weighted regression for spectroscopic modelling of soil properties
description Abstract Soil properties, such as organic carbon, pH and clay content, are critical indicators of ecosystem function. Visible–near infrared (vis–NIR) reflectance spectroscopy has been widely used to cost-efficiently estimate such soil properties. Multivariate modelling, such as partial least squares regression (PLSR), and machine learning are the most common methods for modelling soil properties with spectra. Often, such models do not account for the multiresolution information presented in the vis–NIR signal, or the spatial variation in the data. To address these potential shortcomings, we used wavelets to decompose the vis–NIR spectra of 226 soils from agricultural and forested regions in south-western Western Australia and developed a wavelet geographically weighted regression (WGWR) for estimating soil organic carbon content, clay content and pH. To evaluate the WGWR models, we compared them to linear models derived with multiresolution data from a wavelet decomposition (WLR) and PLSR without multiresolution information. Overall, validation of the WGWR models produced more accurate estimates of the soil properties than WLR and PLSR. Around 3.5–49.1% of the improvement in the estimates was due to the multiresolution analysis and 1.0–5.2% due to the integration of spatial information in the modelling. The WGWR improves the modelling of soil properties with spectra.
