Abstract

The application relates to the technical field of data processing, and discloses a soil profile database-based organic carbon density prediction method and system. The method comprises the following steps: collecting soil profile data, obtaining soil attribute parameters and environmental parameters of each depth layer, and obtaining a profile data set; dividing samples into different groups according to pH values and texture parameters to obtain a classification matrix; training a bulk density prediction model in each group, interpolating the missing values of the bulk density, and obtaining complete bulk density data; establishing a transfer function, substituting the organic carbon content, the bulk density value and the layer thickness, and calculating the organic carbon density of each depth layer; and weighting and accumulating the organic carbon density of each depth layer according to the layer thickness to obtain the profile organic carbon storage. The application solves the problems that, in the prior art, a global unified model leads to low bulk density prediction accuracy, and the heterogeneity of soil types and the depth effect are not considered, resulting in inaccurate organic carbon density estimation.
