The remarkable complexity of soil and its importance to a wide range of ecosystem services
presents major challenges to the modeling of soil processes. Although major progress in soil …

Detailed mapping of mineral phases at centimeter scale can be useful for geological
investigation, including resource exploration. This work reviews case histories of ground …

Hyperspectral imaging sensors are promising tools for monitoring crop plants or vegetation
in different environments. Information on physiology, architecture or biochemistry of plants …

The amount of data in soil science increased at exponential rates over the last decades,
promoted by rapid technological innovation. This development led to a better understanding …

Soil nitrogen (N) plays a central role in soil quality and biogeochemical cycles. However,
little is known about the distribution and spatial variability of the different fractions of soil N …

Subsoil organic carbon (OC) is generally lower in content and more heterogeneous than
topsoil OC, rendering it difficult to detect significant differences in subsoil OC storage. We …

Modeling and mapping of soil properties has been identified as key for effective land
degradation management and mitigation. The ability to model and map soil properties at …

Soil organic carbon (SOC) and its labile C fractions play a central role in soil quality and C
cycles. This study aimed to investigate the potential of laboratory-based hyperspectral …

The topic of microbial hotspots in soil requires not only visualizing their spatial distribution
and biochemical analyses, but also statistical approaches to identify these hotspots and …

Intensive agriculture has been linked to declining soil fertility and is a known source of
greenhouse gas emissions. Decline in soil organic matter (SOM) is of particular concern due …
