ABSTRACT
To investigate the problem of secondary salinization in agricultural irrigated areas with shallow
buried groundwater, regression Kriging (RK) and geographically weighted regression Kriging
(GWRK) methods were applied using soil salinity in Da’an, western Jilin province, China. Digital
elevation model (DEM), Topographic Wetness Index (TWI) and Groundwater salinity were selected
as auxiliary variables based on correlation analysis and stepwise regression analysis. Results showed
that the RK and GWRK can both effectively predict the spatial distribution of soil salinity due to the
incorporation of auxiliary variables. In addition, the GWRK accuracy is improved by 23.2%, which
should be attributed to the consideration of sample spatial non-stationarity. According to qualitative
relationship of soil salinity and groundwater, when the groundwater depth was less than 5 m with the
similar groundwater salinity, the soil salinity increased with decreasing groundwater depth, while more
than 5 m the soil salinity remain unchanged. The relationship between soil salinity, groundwater depth
and salinity could be quantitatively expressed using multiple power functions through data fitting.
The results provide a scientific basis for regulating groundwater to control soil salinity to prevent soil
salinization, and quantitative analysis needs further research.
