The structural transformation of Polish agriculture after 1989 has been leading to significant changes in land use. As a result a large part of formerly ploughed fields lies abandoned and they occur across considerable variability in soil typological units. Accurate information about soil conditions within the abandoned fields facilitates proper management in the new socio-economic situation. Such information can be collected using satellite images since the structure and condition of the vegetation growing on the abandoned fields reflects soil properties. The objective of this study is to evaluate the relationships between physical and chemical attributes of soil within the abandoned fields and spectral reflectance patterns recorded by ASTER sensors onboard Terra Satellite. Soil samples were collected at five abandoned fields which have not been ploughed since 2000 and analyzed in the laboratory to determine their physical and chemical properties. Nine ASTER nearly cloud-free pictures were used for this study in order to derive the remote-sensing attributes of the abandoned fields. In order to evaluate the relationships between soil fertility and remotely sensed data, partial least-squares (PLS) and a multiple linear regression (MLR) analysis between these two datasets were carried out. In the regression analysis, only soil TEB (total exchangeable bases) stock in the whole profile displayed the highest correlation with remotely sensed data acquired in April and May and the best predictors were NDVI and LSWI vegetation indices.

Seasonal Net Shortwave Radiation of Bare Arable Land in Poland and Israel According to Roughness and Atmospheric Irradiance

Jerzy Cierniewski, Jean-Louis Roujean, Jaroslaw Jasiewicz, Slawomir Krolewicz

Summary: Tillage can decrease the amount of net shortwave radiation absorbed by air-dried bare arable land in cloudy-sky conditions. The study assessed the variations in surface albedo by combining different observations and model equations.

Reflectance spectroscopy and machine learning as a tool for the categorization of twin species based on the example of the Diachrysia genus

Krzysztof Dyba, Roman Wasala, Jan Piekarczyk, Elzbieta Gabala, Magdalena Gawlak, Jaroslaw Jasiewicz, Henryk Ratajkiewicz

Summary: We used noninvasive point reflectance spectroscopy and machine learning to study scales on the brown and golden iridescent areas on the dorsal side of the forewing of Diachrysia chrysitis and D. stenochrysis. We were able to distinguish between these moth species and validate our approach using a statistically significant collection of specimens.

Estimating Soil Surface Roughness With Models Based on the Information About Tillage Practises and Soil Parameters

Karolina Herodowicz-Mleczak, Jan Piekarczyk, Cezary Kazmierowski, Jakub Nowosad, Mateusz Mleczak

Summary: The aim of this study was to build predictive models for soil roughness based on different tillage tools, roughness indices, and soil properties. The results showed that a single index is not sufficient to accurately describe post-treatment soil roughness. Linear and random forest models were built to analyze the relationships between roughness indices, tillage tools, and soil properties. The models demonstrated the importance of considering both the macro and micro scale roughness indices. These predictive models can be effectively applied to estimate various soil properties.

Evaluation of Methods for Estimating Lake Surface Water Temperature Using Landsat 8

Krzysztof Dyba, Sofia Ermida, Mariusz Ptak, Jan Piekarczyk, Mariusz Sojka

Summary: Changes in lake water temperature may significantly affect the functioning of these ecosystems. This study developed a remote sensing method using Landsat 8 imagery to monitor lake water temperature. Two models, linear regression and random forest, were developed to estimate surface water temperature. The results showed that the random forest method provided the most accurate estimation.

Summary: This study explores the relationship between water content in forest habitats and spectral indices using remote sensing methods. The normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) was found to be the most useful in assessing moisture variation. The study also highlights the impact of water reservoirs on habitat humidity and trophicity.

Machine Learning-Based Hyperspectral and RGB Discrimination of Three Polyphagous Fungi Species Grown on Culture Media

Summary: In this study, three fungi species were discriminated using hyperspectral and RGB data and machine learning methods. The research showed the possibility of distinguishing the fungi species based on hyperspectral curves and RGB images. The wavelengths in the SWIR region were effective in distinguishing certain fungi species, while the visible range of the electromagnetic spectrum was effective in distinguishing others.

Estimation of Soil Surface Roughness Parameters Under Simulated Rainfall Using Spectral Reflectance in Optical Domain

Karolina Herodowicz-Mleczak, Jan Piekarczyk, Henryk Ratajkiewicz, Jakub Nowosad, Szymon Sledz, Cezary Kazmierowski, Slawomir Krolewicz, Roman Kierzek

Summary: The purpose of this study was to parameterize soil surface roughness (SSR) based on proximal measurements of spectral reflectance in the VIS-NIR range, which is important for monitoring the state of soil surfaces. The study found that there is a relationship between SSR parameters and soil spectra, and different wavelengths are best predictors depending on the spectral transformation method.

Summary: This study assessed the suitability of multispectral data acquired with an agricultural digital camera in determining soil properties. The results showed that the camera is suitable for assessing soil properties such as granulometric composition, pH, and element content. The Cubist regression model performed better than the partial least squares model.

Determination of Mehlich 3 Extractable Elements with Visible and Near Infrared Spectroscopy in a Mountainous Agricultural Land, the Caucasus Mountains

Elton Mammadov, Michael Denk, Frank Riedel, Cezary Kazmierowski, Karolina Lewinska, Remigiusz Lukowiak, Witold Grzebisz, Amrakh Mamedov, Cornelia Glaesser

Summary: Soil spectroscopy combined with partial least squares regression can effectively predict soil elements and basic properties, with higher prediction accuracy using first derivative spectra. The performance of prediction models varies for different soil properties, with the major prediction mechanisms involving the correlations of elements with CaCO3, pH, clay content, and mineralogy.
