Influence of sample size and machine learning algorithms on digital soil nutrient mapping accuracy.

Environmental monitoring and assessment
The objective of this study is to evaluate and compare the performance of different machine learning (ML) algorithms, viz., multi-layer perceptron (MLP), random forest (RF), extra trees regressor (ETR), CatBoost, and gradient boost (GB), considering ...

Quantitative evaluation of hydrocarbon contamination in soil using hyperspectral data-a comparative study of machine learning models.

Environmental monitoring and assessment
This study aims to evaluate the applicability of existing machine learning and deep learning techniques for the rapid prediction of hydrocarbon contamination in soils using hyperspectral data. Soil samples of three types, i.e., clayey, silty, and san...

Unlocking urban soil secrets: machine learning and spectrometry in Berlin's heavy metal pollution study considering spatial data.

Environmental monitoring and assessment
Berlin has historically been impacted by heavy metal (HM) emissions, raising concerns about soil pollution. In this study, machine learning (ML) techniques were applied to predict HM concentrations across the Berlin metropolitan area. A dataset of 66...

Urban-rural inequality in soil heavy metal health risks: Insights from Baoding, China.

Ecotoxicology and environmental safety
Soil heavy metal contamination poses serious health risks, but few studies have quantitatively assessed disparities in these risks between urban and rural populations. To address this gap, we introduce a novel framework integrating machine learning a...

Spatial Risks of Microplastics in Soils and the Cascading Effects Thereof.

Environmental science & technology
Microplastic (MP) pollution has become a significant global concern in soil systems. The spatial risk of MPs in soils, the cascading effects of climate, human activities, and air quality, and the ecosystem gradients from natural habitats, agricultura...

Uncovering rare earth and precious metal in landfill-mined soil-like-fractions: distribution prediction, ecological risk and resource potential.

Environmental pollution (Barking, Essex : 1987)
The introduction of rare earth elements (REEs) and precious metals (PMs) containing wastes in aged landfills leads to a significant pollutant and resource potential. Against this backdrop, the accumulation of REEs and PMs in soil-like-fractions (SLF)...

A novel method for achieving ecological indicator based on vertical soil bacterial communities coupled with machine learning: A case study of a typical tropical site in China.

Journal of hazardous materials
Global industrialization has resulted in severe contamination of soil with heavy metals (HMs). Nevertheless, it is unclear if it affects the depth-resolved bacterial communities. Herein, we collected soil samples at different depths from a typical HM...

Stricter cadmium and lead standards needed for organic fertilizers in China.

The Science of the total environment
This study aims to evaluate the adequacy of China's national standards for heavy metals in organic fertilizers by predicting their concentrations in grains using machine leaning. A comprehensive dataset was collected from literature, including soil p...

Estimating soil cadmium concentration using multi-source UAV imagery and machine learning techniques.

Environmental monitoring and assessment
Urbanization and industrialization have led to widespread soil heavy metals contamination, posing significant risks to ecosystems and human health. Conventional methods for mapping heavy metal distribution, which rely on soil sampling followed by che...

Evaluation of machine learning models for accurate prediction of heavy metals in coal mining region soils in Bangladesh.

Environmental geochemistry and health
Coal mining soils are highly susceptible to heavy metal pollution due to the discharge of mine tailings, overburden dumps, and acid mine drainage. Developing a reliable predictive model for heavy metal concentrations in this region has proven to be a...
