Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to a method for optimizing representativeness of monitoring points for environmental monitoring in a research area, and belongs to the field of agricultural environmental science. Background Art

[0002] In order to accurately grasp the environmental quality of farmland soil, improve monitoring efficiency and reduce costs, farmland soil monitoring work urgently needs to optimize the points to achieve more scientific, reasonable and efficient soil monitoring (Dong Xubin, Yao Yanhong, Wu Chenxing. Research on the layout method of basic points for soil environmental monitoring [J]. Leather Manufacturing and Environmental Protection Technology, 2022, 3(7): 78-80); Currently, the commonly used point layout methods for environmental monitoring are mostly random layout, uniform layout, and zoned layout (Zhai Xiaolei. Research on the layout method of basic points for soil environmental monitoring [J]. Cleaning the World, 2021, 37(3): 82-83).

[0003] The main problems with the above technical methods are: (1) The monitoring points are not representative enough and provide little support for a comprehensive understanding of regional environmental quality; (2) The monitoring point layout method is not universal. my country's topography is complex and diverse, and the point layout method is difficult to adapt to all regions. Summary of the Invention

[0004] Based on a regional environmental database, this method calculates the minimum number of sampling points in a region and uses rapid testing equipment to complete data collection. Based on the test data, cluster analysis, spatial interpolation, error calculation, and quadratic error calculation are performed. Additional monitoring points are added to areas with large errors, the longitude and latitude of the additional points are obtained, and an optimized distribution map of the monitoring points is created. This method establishes a closed-loop technical chain of "data collection-error calculation-point optimization," which plays a crucial role in supporting a comprehensive understanding of regional environmental conditions. It also provides decision-making support for optimizing agricultural planting zoning and pollution prevention and control through precise analysis of environmental factors.

[0005] A method for optimizing the representativeness of monitoring points includes four steps: environmental database construction, cluster analysis, single environmental indicator error calculation, and point supplementation. The method is characterized by:

[0006] (1) Construction of environmental database

[0007] (2) Clustering

[0008] (2.1) Calculation of minimum monitoring points

[0009] (2.2) Quick inspection of monitoring points

[0010] Based on the minimum number of monitoring points, the points are arranged to form an initial set of monitoring points; in-situ environmental index detection is performed on the environmental medium, and environmental index detection data is obtained;

[0011] (2.3) Cluster analysis

[0012] Extract the environmental indicator detection data of all monitoring points and the environmental data except area in the environmental database by point to obtain a cluster data set; perform cluster analysis on the cluster data set to obtain A cluster categories;

[0013] (3) Calculation of error of single environmental indicator

[0014] (3.1) Randomly select one of the A cluster categories;

[0015] (3.2) Randomly select a point from the initial monitoring point set as the target point r, and select the k adjacent points with the shortest straight-line distance to the target point r to form the adjacent point set;

[0016] (3.3) Randomly select n adjacent points from the adjacent point set, perform spatial interpolation of environmental indicators, extract the interpolation data of the target point r, and calculate the relative error θ of r;

[0017] θ = (environmental index detection data - interpolation data) / environmental index detection data

[0018] The value range of n is 3-5, and kn≥3;

[0019] (3.4) Traverse n adjacent points and interpolate to obtain C relative errors of the target point r;

[0020]

[0021] The error point combination with relative error θ>25%, i.e., the error point set, proceeds to the next step; the error point combination with θ≤25% does not proceed to the subsequent operation;

[0022] (3.5) All points are taken as target points r and calculated again through steps (3.1) to (3.4) to obtain the set of all error points with θ > 25%;

[0023] (4) Supplementary points

[0024] For a single error point set, obtain the initial monitoring point and the longitude and latitude of r in the error point set, extract the four range positions, Xmin, Xmax, Ymin, Ymax, connect them into a closed area, and add points in the closed area.

[0027] Furthermore, the method for calculating the minimum number of monitoring points is as follows: based on the area S of the study area, the minimum number of monitoring points D is calculated. The calculation formula is as follows:

[0028] D=S / m 2 +5, and

[0029] Where m is the minimum acceptable distance between two monitoring points;

[0035] Furthermore, A≥3; the clustering model includes but is not limited to GMM, K-means, hierarchical clustering, etc.;

[0036] Furthermore, the k adjacent points are selected in two ways: ① If the number of monitoring points in the cluster category where r is located is greater than k, the k monitoring points closest to r in straight-line distance are selected; ② If the number of monitoring points in the cluster category where r is located is less than or equal to k, all monitoring points in the same cluster category as r are preferentially selected, and the remaining monitoring points are selected from other cluster categories with the closest straight-line distance to r. The value range of k is 5-8.

[0037] Furthermore, the spatial interpolation method includes Kriging interpolation method, inverse distance weighted average interpolation method (IDW), trend surface method, and spline function method;

[0038] Furthermore, professional software including Arcgis, R, python, matlab, CAD, etc. were used to perform spatial interpolation;

[0039] Furthermore, the additional points include:

[0040] (1) Divide the closed area into grids of unit length and extract the center points of each grid;

[0041] Where Xmin is the minimum longitude, Xmax is the maximum longitude, Ymin is the minimum latitude, and Ymax is the maximum latitude;

The supplementary points with closer distances are deleted, and the remaining points are the supplementary point set;

[0049] (7) The same method is used to traverse all cluster categories and obtain all additional points in the study area.

[0050] Furthermore, if the center point of the grid is outside the closed area, and the area of ​​the grid in the closed area is greater than 50%, the center point of the grid in the closed area is selected; if the area of ​​the grid in the closed area is less than or equal to 50%, the grid is deleted;

[0053] θt=(environmental index detection data-quadratic interpolation data) / environmental index detection data

[0054] Furthermore, the method for calculating the additional points with a relatively close distance is as follows:

[0055] ①Use Kriging interpolation method to obtain the nugget value of all initial monitoring points;

[0056] ② If the distance between two additional points with different environmental indicators is the smallest and is less than the maximum nugget value of the environmental indicator, the two points are considered to be close and one point is randomly retained;
