Abstract

Using the kernel normalized difference vegetation index (KNDVI) to monitor soil salinization has great advantages; however, approaches using KNDVI and a feature space model to monitor salinization have not yet been reported. In this study, the KNDVI, normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI), extended difference vegetation index (EDVI), green normalized difference vegetation index (TGDVI), modified soil-adjusted vegetation index (MSAVI), and salt index (SI) were used to establish five feature space monitoring indices for salinization. The spatio-temporal evolution pattern of soil salinization in the Yellow River Delta from 2000 to 2020 was analyzed based on the optimal monitoring index. The remote sensing monitoring index model based on KNDVI-SI’s point-to-point mode had the best applicability with R 2 = 0.93, followed by EDVI-SI’s salinization monitoring index model with R 2 = 0.90. From 2000 to 2020, soil salinization in the Yellow River Delta followed an exacerbating then improving trend. Soil salinization was more severe in the northern and eastern coastal areas of the Yellow River Delta. These results are conducive to salinization restoration and control in the Yellow River Delta.
