芬兰中部泥炭地的精细制图:融合雷达与光学数据的机器学习方法

Enhanced mapping of mires in central Finland: integrating radar and optical data with machine learning

  • 摘要: 在全球气候变化与人类活动影响双重胁迫下,泥炭地作为全球重要碳库,正经历剧烈退化,其面积急剧缩减,急需更准确和详细的地图来支撑泥炭地的管理和保护。现有的泥炭地制图产品普遍存在分辨率不足或覆盖率不全等问题,且更新周期长。本研究使用Sentinel-1 SAR与Sentinel-2 MSI数据,提取了15个光学特征、4个纹理特征、15个雷达特征以及2个物候特征,并将不同特征波段组合构建6个特征模型,在Google Earth Engine平台中,基于随机森林算法,绘制了芬兰中部2个子区域的3 282 km2的10 m分辨率泥炭地地图。结果显示,光学特征、雷达特征、纹理特征、物候特征的加入有利于提高泥炭地的提取精度,总体精度达到94.7%,Kappa系数达到89.8%,模型分类精度得到有效提升。短波红外波段比值(SWIR1/SWIR2)作为最佳判别特征,证实土壤水分是区分泥炭地与非泥炭地的关键指标;提出的双极化物候指数(VHND/VVND)显著提升雷达数据利用率,揭示了5—6月水文物候期对泥炭地识别的决定性作用。相较HWSD、PEATMAP等地图产品,本方法突破时空限制,实现了大尺度与高精度的统一,为全球泥炭地碳监测提供了可推广的技术框架。

     

    Abstract: Under the dual pressures of global climate change and intensified human activities, peatlands, as one of the world’s most important terrestrial carbon reservoirs, are undergoing severe degradation and rapid area loss. Accurate and high-resolution peatland maps are therefore urgently needed to support peatland management, conservation, and global carbon monitoring. However, existing peatland mapping products generally suffer from limitations such as insufficient spatial resolution, incomplete spatial coverage, and long update cycles. To address these issues, this study developed a high-resolution peatland mapping framework by integrating Sentinel-1 synthetic aperture radar (SAR) data and Sentinel-2 multispectral instrument (MSI) data on the Google Earth Engine (GEE) cloud platform. A total of 15 optical features, 4 texture features, 15 radar features, and 2 phenological features were extracted from multi-source remote sensing imagery. Based on different combinations of these feature sets, six classification models were constructed and evaluated using the Random Forest (RF) algorithm. The study area covered two subregions in central Finland with a total area of 3 282 km2, and a 10 m spatial resolution peatland map was generated. The results demonstrated that the integration of optical, radar, texture, and phenological features substantially improved peatland classification performance. The best-performing model achieved an overall accuracy of 94.7% and a Kappa coefficient of 89.8%. The inclusion of derived features effectively enhanced the separability between peatland and non-peatland classes and significantly improved the robustness and reliability of the classification results. Feature importance analysis revealed that the shortwave infrared band ratio (SWIR1/SWIR2) was the most effective discriminative variable, highlighting soil moisture conditions as a key indicator for distinguishing peatlands from surrounding land-cover types. In addition, this study proposed an innovative dual-polarization phenological index (VHND/VVND), which significantly enhanced the utilization efficiency of SAR data and improved the sensitivity of radar signals to seasonal hydrological variations. The results further indicated that the hydrological phenological period from May to June plays a decisive role in peatland identification in boreal regions. Compared with widely used global peatland products such as the Harmonized World Soil Database (HWSD) and PEATMAP, the proposed method overcomes limitations related to spatial resolution, temporal updating, and regional applicability. By integrating multi-source remote sensing data and phenological information within a cloud-computing environment, this study achieved both large-scale mapping capability and high classification accuracy simultaneously. The proposed framework provides a transferable and scalable technical approach for peatland mapping and offers important support for global peatland carbon stock assessment, climate change mitigation, and ecosystem conservation.
