Soils are essential for supporting food production and providing ecosystem services but are
under pressure due to population growth, higher food demand, and land use competition …

Over the past two decades soil spectroscopy, particularly, in the infrared range, is becoming
a powerful technique to simplify analysis relative to the traditional chemical methods. It is …

Quantitative assessment of soil functions requires the characterization of soil capability and
condition. Mid-infrared (MIR) spectroscopy has been suggested as a viable alternative to the …

Soil inorganic carbon (SIC) contributes to up to half of the terrestrial C stock and is especially
significant in arid and semi-arid environments, yet has not been explored as much as soil …

There is growing global interest in the potential for soil reflectance spectroscopy to fill an
urgent need for more data on soil properties for improved decision-making on soil security at …

Portable visible to near-infrared (VNIR) and mid-infrared (MIR) soil spectroscopy holds great
potential to support field applications in soil science and management by complementing …

The United States NRCS has a soil database that has data collected from across the country
over the last several decades. This also includes soil spectral scans. This data is available …

Conversion from annual to perennial grains such as intermediate wheatgrass Kernza®
could sequester soil organic carbon (SOC). To date, no studies have quantified SOC under …

Soil spectroscopy is a widely used method for estimating soil properties that are important to
environmental and agricultural monitoring. However, a bottleneck to its more widespread …

Recent developments in diffuse reflectance soil spectroscopy have increasingly focused on
building and using large soil spectral libraries with the purpose of supporting many activities …
