Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the interdisciplinary technical field of soil science and computer technology, and in particular to a technical field of analyzing the distribution law of soil three-dimensional pore structure characteristics by constructing a comprehensive index. Background Art
[0002] The three-dimensional pore structure of soil plays a vital role in regulating soil functions such as water migration, nutrient exchange and microbial activity. Studying the characteristics and distribution patterns of the three-dimensional pore structure of soil helps to reveal the intrinsic relationship between the physical, chemical and biological properties of soil, and is of great significance to soil improvement, farmland production management and ecosystem research. Traditional soil pore structure research methods are mainly based on two-dimensional slice observations, which are difficult to fully and truly reflect the morphology and distribution of three-dimensional pores.
[0003] In recent years, with the development of computed tomography (CT), three-dimensional reconstruction and image processing technology, new technical means have been provided for the study of soil three-dimensional pore structure. However, existing research mainly focuses on single soil or simple geometric models, which makes it difficult to fully reveal the morphology, distribution and connectivity characteristics of multi-scale soil pores. In addition, when characterizing pore characteristics, existing methods are often limited to macroscopic indicators such as porosity, and cannot deeply explore the pore shape, surface characteristics, connectivity and spatial distribution of various types of pores.
[0004] At the same time, the effects of different soil types, farming methods and environmental conditions on soil pore structure are not yet fully understood. Especially in the process of long-term farming or ecological restoration, the evolution law and driving mechanism of soil pore structure still lack systematic research. This research limitation restricts the widespread application of soil pore characteristics in precision agriculture, environmental protection and soil health assessment.
[0005] Therefore, researchers in this field are committed to adopting new methods based on advanced technologies that can efficiently and accurately integrate large amounts of soil pore structure data to generate accurate soil health and performance prediction models, providing strong technical support for future soil management and sustainable agriculture. Summary of the invention
