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 …

The soil science community is facing a growing demand of regional, continental, and
worldwide databases in order to monitor the status of the soil. However, the availability of …

Soil organic carbon is a key soil property related to soil fertility, aggregate stability and the
exchange of CO2 with the atmosphere. Existing soil maps and inventories can rarely be …

Due to the large spatial variation of soil organic carbon (SOC) content, assessing the current
state of SOC for large areas is costly and time consuming. Visible and Near Infrared Diffuse …

Accurate quantification of urban soil organic carbon (SOC) is essential for understanding
anthropogenic changes and further guiding effective city managements. Visible and near …

This paper shows that memory-based learning (MBL) is a very promising approach to deal
with complex soil visible and near infrared (vis–NIR) datasets. The main goal of this work …

Soils are the largest terrestrial carbon pool and a valuable good that provides important
ecosystem services. Since soils are threatened by degradation and in order to fight climate …

Near infrared (NIR) spectroscopy was used to predict the soil organic carbon (SOC) contents
at local scale in eleven target sites. For that, eight spectral libraries of different sizes (ranging …

This study presents the potential of infrared diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (DRS) to predict
soil organic carbon (SOC) content. A large national soil library was used, including about …
