Abstract:
      Because of the comprehensive effects of natural environmental factors and human activities, soil environmental quality exhibits spatial heterogeneity. Environmental quality zoning based on sampling points is of concern in the management of soil environmental quality. In this study, a soil environmental quality zoning method based on sampling points and auxiliary factors was proposed. Based on the main influencing factors of soil environmental quality measured by geographic detectors, attribute clustering of soil sampling points was conducted using the Gaussian mixture model. Clustering results were dynamically adjusted in combination with rivers and roads to form environmental quality zones. This method was verified using sampling data for the Shunyi District of Beijing as an example. The results showed that the zoning results of this method were better than those of SOFM and K-means clustering, and were suitable for environmental quality zoning under the comprehensive influence of human and natural activities.
