摘要
Groundwater quality in plains and basins of arid and semi-arid regions with increased agriculture and urbanization development faces severe nitrate pollution, which is affected by both climate and anthropogenic activities. Here, shallow groundwater nitrate concentrations in the Yinchuan Region in central Yinchuan Plain were modeled during 2000, 2005, 2010, and 2015 using random forest. Multiple spatial environment factors were taken as predictor variables. The relative importance of these factors was also calculated using the constructed model. Remote sensing and GIS methods were used to compile various environmental factors to generate training and test sets for training and validation of the random forest model. Mean absolute error (MAE), root mean square error (RMSE), and coefficient of determination (R2) between the observed and predicted groundwater nitrate concentrations were used to measure the model performance. As indicated by these metrics, the random forest model for groundwater nitrate prediction was performed well. The relative importance of the predictor variables computed by the model indicated groundwater nitrate was mainly affected by the distance to the Yellow River, meteorological elements (precipitation, evaporation, and mean air temperature), and water level elevation. Additionally, urban and arable land were the two land use/land cover types that mainly influenced groundwater nitrate concentration in the Yinchuan Region, of which urban land was more influential than arable land as a result of intense expansion of urban land from 2000 to 2015. Overall, the current study provides an approach to integrate multiple environmental factors for groundwater quality study and is also significant for sustainable groundwater management in the Yinchuan Region.
