Mapping soil cadmium content using multi-spectral satellite images and multiple-residual-stacking model : Incorporating information from homologous pollution and spectrally active materials

Summary, in English
Soil cadmium (Cd) contamination significantly threatens ecosystems and human health. Traditional geochemical investigation, although accurate, is impractical for wide-area and frequent monitoring applications. Multi-spectral satellite images combined with the homologous pollution information (HPI) and the spectral and content information of soil organic matter (SOMSCI) is an unconventional and promising approach for large-scale, dynamic soil heavy metal (SHM) monitoring. Based on a novel Multiple-Residual-Stacked (MRS) machine-learning framework, the study estimated the soil Cd content in Yueyang City, China, during the past decade (2014–2023) using Landsat 8 images. Within it, three feature construction methods and four models were employed. The experimental results indicate that the XGB-MRS model incorporating HPI and SOMSCI significantly improved the estimation performance (RPD exceeded 90 %, R2, RMSE, and MAE exceeded 40 %). Moreover, against 243 ground samples during 2016–2022, the average overall estimation accuracy exceeded 80 %, validating the model's robustness and practicality. Furthermore, the descending order of contribution in the modelling is environmental auxiliary variables (55 %), HPI and SOMSCI (26 %), and spectral information (19 %). The fertilizer usage has direct (up to 2 years) and delayed (3–5 years) effects on soil Cd accumulation. Overall, our study provides a scalable framework for monitoring global SHM pollution using open-source multi-spectral satellite data.
