- 构建多源数据融合的土壤碳智能助手,自动处理复杂农业数据
- 发现轮作可缓解深耕对土壤碳的负面影响,堆肥能减轻极端天气损失
- 为农技员、政策制定者等提供可落地的决策支持工具
应对气候变化需转变农业模式以降低环境影响并增强气候韧性。再生农业通过提升土壤有机碳(SOC)水平改善土壤健康并固碳。当前推广难点在于低成本长期监测SOC,并理解其受再生农业实践及环境因素的影响。为此,我们提出AI驱动的土壤有机碳协作者(Soil Carbon Copilot),自动化处理多分辨率、多模态数据,实现对土壤健康与再生实践的大规模洞察。数据涵盖极端天气事件(如干旱、野火)、农场管理信息(如耕地状况、耕作预测)和SOC预测。结果显示,整合公共数据与专用模型可实现大规模局部化分析。在加州各县农业实践对比中发现,多样化农事活动可缓解深耕的负面影响;尽管极端天气显著影响SOC,但施用堆肥可减轻碳流失。通过引入角色化使用场景,赋能农艺师、顾问、政策制定者等群体采用基于证据的策略,推动可持续农业发展与气候韧性建设。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Mitigating climate change requires transforming agriculture to minimize environ mental impact and build climate resilience. Regenerative agricultural practices enhance soil organic carbon (SOC) levels, thus improving soil health and sequestering carbon. A challenge to increasing regenerative agriculture practices is cheaply measuring SOC over time and understanding how SOC is affected by regenerative agricultural practices and other environmental factors and farm management practices. To address this challenge, we introduce an AI-driven Soil Organic Carbon Copilot that automates the ingestion of complex multi-resolution, multi-modal data to provide large-scale insights into soil health and regenerative practices. Our data includes extreme weather event data (e.g., drought and wildfire incidents), farm management data (e.g., cropland information and tillage predictions), and SOC predictions. We find that integrating public data and specialized models enables large-scale, localized analysis for sustainable agriculture. In comparisons of agricultural practices across California counties, we find evidence that diverse agricultural activity may mitigate the negative effects of tillage; and that while extreme weather conditions heavily affect SOC, composting may mitigate SOC loss. Finally, implementing role-specific personas empowers agronomists, farm consultants, policymakers, and other stakeholders to implement evidence-based strategies that promote sustainable agriculture and build climate resilience.
