There is a worldwide need for detailed spatial information to support soil map**, mainly in
the tropics, where main agricultural areas are concentrated. In this line, satellite images are …

Soil salinization is one of the most common land desertification processes that can be found
worldwide. It is a certainly severe environment hazard and threatens the stability of …

Soil organic carbon (SOC) prediction from remote sensing is often hindered by disturbing
factors at the soil surface, such as photosynthetic active and non–photosynthetic active …

Soil salinity is one of the most damaging environmental problems worldwide, especially in
arid and semi-arid regions. An integrated approach using remote sensing in addition to …

Recognized and advocated as a powerful tool, the role of remote sensing in identifying,
map**, and monitoring soil salinity and salinization will continue to expand. Remote …

Although near‐infrared (NIR) spectroscopy has been used in the research laboratory for the
compositional analysis of soil, its importance to day‐to‐day agriculture and land use is just …
