Soil provides ecosystem services, supports human health and habitation, stores carbon and
regulates emissions of greenhouse gases. Unprecedented pressures on soil from …

This review addresses the applicability of visible (Vis), near-infrared (NIR), and mid-infrared
(MIR) reflectance spectroscopy for the prediction of soil properties. We address (1) the …

This chapter provides a review on the state of soil visible–near infrared (vis–NIR)
spectroscopy. Our intention is for the review to serve as a source of up-to-date information …

Reflectance spectroscopy can be used to nondestructively characterize materials for a wide
range of applications. In this study, visible-near infrared reflectance spectroscopy (VNIR) …

Soil C dynamics are not only important to both productivity and sustainability of terrestrial
ecosystems, but also contribute significantly to global C cycling. Adjacent natural forest (NF) …

The study examined the interrelationships between chemical and microbiological quality
indicators of soil and their ability to differentiate plots under contrasting fertilization regimes …

Applicability of near infrared reflectance (NIR) and fluorescence spectroscopic techniques
was tested on highly organic arctic soil. Soil samples were obtained at a long-term climate …

Heavy metals in soil are harmful environmental pollutants due to their toxicity and copper
(Cu) is a key indicator. Detecting and map** the distribution of soil property using remote …

Rapid and nondestructive methods such as diffuse reflectance infrared spectroscopy
provide potentially useful alternatives to time‐consuming chemical methods of soil metal …

Sustainability related soil changes due to site disturbance during forest harvesting need to
be assessed. Near infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) may be useful for assessing large numbers …
