Prediction of Soil Organic Carbon Content in <italic>Spartina alterniflora</italic> by Using UAV Multispectral and LiDAR Data by Jiannan He, Yongbin Zhang, Mingyue Liu, Lin Chen, Weidong Man, Hua Fang, Xiang Li, Xuan Yin, Jianping Liang, Wenke Bai, Fuping Li

“…The results show that the following. 1) The prediction accuracy is improved by classifying the data into three types: unlodging <italic>S. alterniflora</italic> (ULSA), lodging <italic>S. alterniflora</italic> (LSA), and mudflats. 2) XGBoost outperformed RF and SVM in accurately predicting SOC content, with <italic>R</italic>²; values of 0.743 for ULSA, 0.731 for LSA, and 0.705 for mudflats; 3) In the XGBoost models constructed for ULSA, LSA, and mudflats, spectral features contributed 75.7&#x0025;, 73.1&#x0025;, and 63.1&#x0025;, respectively, with the normalized difference vegetation index emerging as the most critical spectral feature. Slope aspect (AS) was identified as the most influential topographic feature. 4) The spatial distribution of SOC exhibited marked heterogeneity, with higher SOC content in ULSA and lower in mudflats, demonstrating a gradient of decreasing SOC content from land to sea. …”
