Abstract: Hyperspectral remote sensing technology had been widely used in the estimation of soil organic matter due to its non-destructive, rapid, and high spectral resolution characteristics. The 64 fluvo-aquic soil organic matter (SOM) obtained from Beijing Shunyi district had been estimated successfully by using the hyperspectral reflectance based on continuous wavelet transform (CWT), the results had also been compared with four common spectral transformation methods, it showed that the fluvo-aquic soil had the same spectral curves with other types soils, and the absorption peaks appeared in the visible and near infrared bands after the spectral curves removed by hull curve. The sensitive bands for estimating the SOM were 1194nm, 486nm, and 866nm, and the corresponding wavelet decomposition scales were 2, 3, and 4. The R2 of multiple linear regression model built between the wavelet energy coefficients and SOM was 0.67 by using the CWT, the R2and RMSE between the measured value and predicted value were 0.75 and 0.21, respectively, while the highest R2 of estimation model built by the four common spectral transformation methods was 0.09, which showed that the CWT is more suitable for estimating the fluvo-aquic soil organic matter content. Through the interpolation analysis of Kringing, the more sampling points should be increased in the southeast of Shunyi district for improving the precision of models.
