Abstract:

Geodetic conductivity meter (EM38) is an effective method for rapid and nondestructive determination of soil salinity. To establish the relationship model between soil salinity and EM38 test value of farmland in Xinjiang, farmland soil in Manas County of Xinjiang was taken as the research object, EM38 was used to measure soil apparent conductivity in the field, and soil profile was excavated for stratified sampling, then the soil salinity content was measured in the laboratory. Based on this, a soil salinity interpretation model based on EM38 was constructed. The results showed that: (1) based on the measured soil salinity and EM38 conductivity data, the EM38 vertical model and horizontal model and their combined binary linear regression soil salinity interpretation model at different soil depths were established; (2) the R2 of the three EM38 salinity interpretation models increased with the increase of soil depth, and the accuracy of the vertical model was higher than that of the horizontal model when the soil depth was less than 20 cm, but the accuracy was conversed when the soil depth was greater than 20 cm; (3) the interpretation accuracy of binary linear regression model was obviously better than that of unitary linear regression model. The EM38 soil salinity interpretation model constructed in this study could provide reliable inversion parameters and models for the rapid investigation and dynamic monitoring of soil salinity in oasis farmland.
