Simulation and Prediction of Ion Transport in the Reclamation of Sodic Soils with Gypsum Based on the Support Vector Machine

الملخص EN

The effect of gypsum on the physical and chemical characteristics of sodic soils is nonlinear and controlled by multiple factors.

The support vector machine (SVM) is able to solve practical problems such as small samples, nonlinearity, high dimensions, and local minima points.

This paper reports the use of the SVM regression method to predict changes in the chemical properties of sodic soils under different gypsum application rates in a soil column experiment and to evaluate the effect of gypsum reclamation on sodic soils.

The research results show that (1) the SVM soil solute transport model using the Matlab toolbox represents the change in Ca2+ and Na+ in the soil solution and leachate well, with a high prediction accuracy.

(2) Using the SVM model to predict the spatial and temporal variations in the soil solute content is feasible and does not require a specific mathematical model.

The SVM model can take full advantage of the distribution characteristics of the training sample.

(3) The workload of the soil solute transport prediction model based on the SVM is greatly reduced by not having to determine the hydrodynamic dispersion coefficient and retardation coefficient, and the model is thus highly practical.
