WU Jia-min1, YAO Jian-hua1, ZHANG Yong-ting1, et al. Remote Sensing Application Study on the Soil Salinity and the Medium & Low Yield Croplands in Yinchuan Plain(YCP)[J]. Journal of Remote Sensing, 2007, (3): 414-419. DOI: 10.11834/jrs.20070357.
The soil salinity is an important problem to agriculture production and ecological environment.The salinity has been a key factor to form a lot medium & low yield croplands and to affect the sustainable agriculture development in Yinchuan Plain(YCP)
Northwest China.In the study
the suitable time for receiving the remote sensing data(TM) is selected.Based on the remote sensing data and the some soil investigation
the soil salinity has been extracted and their classification is made.It is found that the soil salinization degree and the total distribution area of soil salinity are being alleviated remarkably from 1985.With the support of the RS and GIS
the thematic information related to the formation of the medium & low yield croplands such as the types of farmland
soil salinity degree;fertility
crop yield etc.
are extracted and are put into the compound classification.Through this method
the present situation including their classification and distribution of the medium & low yield croplands in the area is determined clearly.Finally
some analyses on the causes of the soil salinity change in YCP are brought forward.
