DETAILED DESCRIPTION
Embodiment 1
(4) The technical solutions of the embodiments in the present application will be described clearly and completely by reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments in the present application below. Obviously, the embodiments described are only some, rather than all embodiments of the present application. On the basis of the embodiments of the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those ordinary skilled in the art without creative efforts fall within the scope of protection of the present application.
(5) The embodiment of the present application provides a method for assessing nitrogen leaching risk based on farmland soil pressure. The mechanical composition of soil refers to the percentage of mineral particles at various levels in the soil, reflecting the size and quantity of mineral particles in the soil and significantly influencing the process of nitrogen leaching in the soil. The soil texture (sandy soil, loam, clay) can be determined based on the mechanical composition. Sandy soil has larger particles, numerous pores, and good water permeability, but has poor water retention capacity and relatively low nutrient content. Loam, a soil type between sandy soil and clay, has particles of different sizes and pores of moderate size, thus enabling good drainage and water retention, and serving as the soil most suitable for agricultural cultivation. Clay has extremely fine particles, resulting in poor air permeability and water permeability but strong water-holding and retention capabilities. Clay is sticky and becomes harder after drying, which is difficult to cultivate. The soil compactness follows the order of: clay>loam>sandy soil. Therefore, the soil texture can be determined according to the difficulty level (peak pressure) of sampling, and the nutrient retention status can be determined based on the soil texture, further assessing the risk of nitrogen leaching into the ground.
(6) As shown in
(7) Step S101, soil drilling pressure data is acquired from a plurality of soil layers of different depths on soil to be tested using a soil drilling device, to obtain raw soil drilling pressure data, and real-time parameters of the soil drilling device are monitored.
(8) In this embodiment, an electric soil drill is driven by a motor, with a higher efficiency, and is suitable for survey in a medium area; and a hydraulic soil drill is driven by hydraulic power, with a higher efficiency, and is suitable for survey and sampling in a large area. A sensor is mounted on the soil drilling device to acquire the soil drilling pressure data.
(9) Step S102, a calibration curve is selected based on the basic information about the soil to be tested, a raw soil drilling pressure curve is plotted based on the raw soil drilling pressure data, and the calibration curve is compared with the raw soil drilling pressure curve to determine a first fluctuation factor according to the similarity between the two curves.
(10) In this embodiment, soil physical properties that significantly affect the pressure reading are determined, such as soil humidity, compactness and density. Soil drilling test is conducted on multiple sites, and pressure data is recorded. Meanwhile, soil samples are acquired from each test site, and soil humidity, density and compactness are measured in a laboratory. These soil properties are integrated into a composite index, and the relationship between the composite index and the pressure data measured on site is analyzed by means of a calibration curve. The calibration curve is constructed using statistical methods (e.g. regression analysis). Typically, pressure readings are on a vertical axis, and the soil layer depth is on a horizontal axis, to construct a calibration curve within a certain range, which is an area from the minimum value to the maximum value, and the appropriate curve is selected based on the composite index. The first fluctuation factor refers to the fluctuation determined by the difference from the calibration curve for the soil.
(11) In some embodiments of the present application, the calibration curve is selected based on the basic information about the soil to be tested, specifically including the following.
(12) The basic information of the soil to be tested includes humidity, density, and compactness. A composite index is set according to the humidity, the density, and the compactness. Pre-established calibration curves corresponding to different composite indexes and soil drilling pressure are stored in a database, and the calibration curve represents a range of the soil drilling pressure varying with soil depth.
(13) According to an actual composite index of the soil to be tested, a calibration curve corresponding to the same composite index is identified in the database.
(14) In this embodiment, the composite index can be determined through methods such as weighted averaging of the aforementioned properties. According to the actual composite index, the calibration curve corresponding to the same or closest composite index is identified in the database.
(15) In some embodiments of the present application, the calibration curve is compared with the raw soil drilling pressure curve to determine a first fluctuation factor according to the similarity between the two curves, specifically including the following.
(16) The similarity between the two curves is 100% and the first fluctuation factor is 0 in a case that the raw soil drilling pressure curve is entirely within a range of the calibration curve; and otherwise, a portion of the raw soil drilling pressure curve that exceeds the range of the calibration curve is split into a plurality of exceedance curves according to the soil layer depth, an average difference between each of the exceedance curves and a boundary of the calibration curve is calculated, all average differences are integrated to determine the similarity, and one first fluctuation factor is mapped through the similarity.
(17) In this embodiment, if the raw soil drilling pressure curve is entirely within the range of the calibration curve, it indicates that the raw soil drilling pressure curve is in conformity with the calibration curve and there is a minimal fluctuation. If the raw soil drilling pressure curve exceeds the range of the calibration curve, it indicates a significant fluctuation, which needs to be taken into account. The larger the integrated average difference is, the lower the similarity, and accordingly, the larger the first fluctuation factor will be.
(18) Step S103, a performance fluctuation of the soil drilling device is determined according to the real-time parameters of the soil drilling device, a second fluctuation factor is determined according to the performance fluctuation of the soil drilling device, an IQR coefficient is set based on the first fluctuation factor and the second fluctuation factor, and a box plot of the raw soil drilling pressure data is constructed based on the IQR coefficient.
(19) In this embodiment, the performance fluctuation of the soil drilling device may be affected by various operation parameters, and some key operation parameters are shown as follows.
(20) Drilling rate: the drilling rate can affect the cutting and compression behaviors on soil, thereby affecting the acquisition of pressure data. Unstable drilling rate may lead to inconsistent pressure readings.
(21) Torque: torque is the force applied by a rotating drill bit, affecting penetration power of the drill bit and the degree of soil fragmentation. Unstable torque can bring about fluctuations in pressure.
(22) Drilling pressure: drilling pressure refers to the vertical force applied by the drill bit on the soil. Fluctuations in drilling pressure directly impact the acquisition of pressure data.
(23) Vibration: vibrations during the drilling may affect the readings of a pressure sensor, resulting in data fluctuations.
(24) Rotation speed: the stability of rotation speed is crucial for electric or hydraulic soil drills. Changes in rotation speed affect the penetration power of the drill bit and soil stress.
(25) Cooling system: the drill bit and drill machine may overheat during operation for a long time. The performance of the cooling system affects the efficiency and stability of the device.
(26) Stability of power supply: for electric soil drills, the stability of power supply influences the performance of motor, further influencing the drilling rate and torque.
(27) Hydraulic system pressure: for hydraulic soil drills, the stability of hydraulic system pressure affects the performance of hydraulic motor, subsequently influencing the drilling rate and torque.
(28) In this embodiment, the second fluctuation factor represents the performance fluctuation of the soil drilling device, and the IQR coefficient is set according to the first fluctuation factor and the second fluctuation factor. The box plot is employed to describe the abnormal values and normal values of pressure data. Generally speaking, a box plot includes a lower bound, a lower quartile Q1, a median Q2, an upper quartile Q3, and an upper bound. The lower quartile Q1, the median Q2, and the upper quartile Q3 represent the first quartile, the second quartile, and the third quartile, respectively, which are essentially the 25.sub.th, 50.sub.th, and 75.sub.th percentiles, respectively. The IQR is defined as IQR=Q3Q1. Conventionally, the lower bound=Q11.5IQR, and the upper bound=Q3+1.5IQR, which are in the premise that the data follows a normal distribution, but generally speaking, it is rarely the case in practice. To ensure the accuracy of the box plot, adjustments are made to the IQR coefficient. Data within the upper and lower bounds are normal, and data outside these bounds are abnormal.
(29) In a box plot, the upper and lower bounds are defined based on IQR, and 1.5IQR is typically used as the criterion for identifying abnormal values. 1.5 is an empirical rule assuming that the data follows a normal distribution, in which, approximately 99.3% of the data falls within the range of Q11.5IQR and Q3+1.5IQR. However, affected by the fluctuations in both the soil drilling device and the soil itself, this coefficient needs to be adjusted to better filter out abnormal values. For example, if the performance fluctuation of the device is larger, a more lenient IQR coefficient (such as 1.2IQR or 1.3IQR) can be considered to be used. If the performance fluctuation of the device is smaller, a stricter IQR coefficient (such as 1.5IQR or 1.8IQR) can be considered to be used.
(30) In some embodiments of the present application, a performance fluctuation of the soil drilling device is determined according to the real-time parameters of the soil drilling device, specifically including the following.
(31) The real-time parameters of the soil drilling device are obtained during soil drilling, a parameter change curve for each of the real-time parameters changing over time is constructed, each parameter change curve is split into a plurality of small curves according to the fluctuation degree of each of the real-time parameters, a slope change of each of the small curves is calculated to obtain an average value of overall slope change of the parameter change curve, the real-time parameters are divided into stable parameters and unstable parameters according to the average value of slope change, and standardization processing is performed on the stable parameters and the unstable parameters.
(32) The performance fluctuation of the soil drilling device is determined according to the stable parameters and the unstable parameters.

(42) Step S104, a peak soil drilling pressure is determined according to the box plot of the raw soil drilling pressure data, and nitrogen leaching risk is determined according to a depth interval of soil layer where the peak soil drilling pressure is located.

(44) Normal soil drilling pressure data is differentiated from abnormal soil drilling pressure data according to the upper and lower bounds in the box plot of the raw soil drilling pressure data, the peak soil drilling pressure is determined in the normal soil drilling pressure data, and the abnormal soil drilling pressure data is removed.
(45) In some embodiments of the present application, nitrogen leaching risk is determined according to a depth interval of soil layer where the peak soil drilling pressure is located, specifically including the following.
(46) Other soil conditions are obtained, including groundwater underflow and soil barriers, and the nitrogen leaching risk is comprehensively determined by combining the groundwater underflow, the soil barriers, and the depth of soil layer, as shown in Table. 1.

This improves the adaptability of data processing and accurately determines peak pressure, ensuring the accuracy of assessing the nitrogen leaching risk in soil.
(49) Through the above description of the implementation, those skilled in the art can clearly appreciate that the present disclosure can be realized by means of hardware, or realized by means of software combined with the necessary general hardware platform. On the basis of this understanding, the technical solutions of the present disclosure may be embodied in the form of a software product, which can be stored in a non-volatile storage medium (such as compact disc read-only memory, USB flash disk and mobile hard disk drive) including a number of instructions for causing a computer device (which may be a personal computer, a server, or a network device, etc.) to implement the method described in the various embodiments of the present disclosure.
(50) Accordingly, the present application also provides a system for assessing nitrogen leaching risk in farmland, as shown in
(51) To further state the technical concept of the present disclosure, the technical solutions of the present disclosure are stated in the context of specific application scenarios.
(52) In the present application, based on soil drilling pressure records during sampling at different soil layers (depths) of a site, the data is processed correspondingly to assess nitrogen leaching risk during sampling and provide locally applicable nitrogen leaching prevention and control techniques. The assessment method described in this patent contributes to reducing environmental losses of nitrogen, improving farmland soil, and protecting water resources.
(53) In the prior art, the soil drilling method for in-situ soil collection is conventional for field background investigations, which involves that after air-drying the collected farmland soil and sieving it through a 2 mm sieve, the mechanical composition of soil is measured using a densimeter, and soil texture is determined, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive. If soil texture profiles can be directly obtained during in-situ soil collection, pollution prevention and control, as well as farmland improvement techniques suitable for this plot can be immediately obtained.
(54) The soil monitoring range for vegetable crops is 0-1 m, the soil profile monitoring range for field crops such as wheat and corn is 0-2 m, and the monitoring range for orchards and other gardens can be extended to 3 m.
(55) 1. If the peak pressure appears in topsoil of <30 cm, (<100 cm for orchards), it indicates soil hardening in the topsoil. Accordingly, soil improvement is primary while nitrogen leaching risk prevention is secondary. The techniques such as precision fertilization, combined application of organic fertilizers, soil amendments like biochar, straw turnover, and deep plowing can be employed to improve the soil structure, and increase soil permeability and water retention capability.
(56) 2. If the peak pressure appears in subsurface soil of 30-60 cm (100-200 cm for orchards), soil improvement is primary while nitrogen leaching risk prevention is secondary. The techniques of subsoiling to break the plow pan, combining with organic fertilizer application, and straw turnover are employed. For salinized soil, subsoiling to break the plow pan can significantly alleviate the harm caused by salinization.
(57) 3. If the peak pressure appears in soil layer of 60-100 cm (200-300 cm for orchards), for soil in field and vegetable field, nitrogen leaching prevention techniques are primary by using precision fertilization, water-saving irrigation, combined application of organic fertilizer, straw turnover, and intercropping of deep-rooted and shallow-rooted crops to prevent the deep leaching of nutrients. For orchards, soil improvement is still primary by subsoiling to break the plow pan, promoting root growth downwards, and enhancing crop yield.
(58) 4. If the peck pressure appears in soil layer of 100-200 cm (>300 cm for orchards), it indicates a lower nitrogen leaching risk, and accordingly, monitoring sites can be reduced in these layers.
(59) It there are no peaks detected in 0-200 cm of soil layers, it indicates that the soil is sandy, which is prone to nitrogen leaching, and accordingly, monitoring sites are required to be increased, and measures like buried drainage and recovery, and substrate cultivation can be taken.
(60) 5. If groundwater appears at 60-200 cm when the soil drill is pulled out, it indicates that there is a high risk of nitrogen leaching into shallow groundwater, which is prone to non-point source pollution. In this area, precise application of nitrogen fertilizers needs to be paid attention to, and controlled-release fertilizers are recommended.
(61) It is to be noted that: the embodiments as described above are merely used for illustrating the technical solutions of the present application, rather than limiting the present application. Although the present application is described in detail by reference to the foregoing embodiments, it is to be understood by those ordinary skilled in the art that the technical solution set forth in each embodiment can still be modified or some technical features can be replaced equivalently, and those modifications or equivalent replacements cannot make the modified technical solution out of the spirit and scope of the technical solution of the present application.
