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 …

Soil structure exerts important influences on the edaphic conditions and the environment. It
is often expressed as the degree of stability of aggregates. Aggregation results from the …

Vibrational spectroscopy techniques provide a powerful approach to the study of
environmental materials and processes. These multifunctional analytical tools can be used …

Soil organic matter (SOM) and particle interaction forces (electrostatic repulsive force (ERF),
van der Waals (vdW) attractive force and surface hydration repulsive force) profoundly …

Soil aggregate stability and soil organic carbon (SOC) physical sequestration is essential to
regulation of anthropogenic climate change. However, relative knowledge remains elusive …

Recent progress in microphone sensitivity has dramatically increased the performance of
Fourier transform mid-infrared photoacoustic spectroscopy (FTIR-PAS). This technique offers …

This study investigated the suitability of mid‐infrared diffuse reflectance Fourier transform
(MIR‐DRIFT) spectroscopy, with partial least squares (PLS) regression, for the determination …

Aggregate stability is a crucial factor in predicting the development of the erosion process,
and it is particularly important in landscapes with high heterogeneity of soil cover, such as …

Chemostratigraphic methods (δ13Corg) for pinpointing the Permian–Triassic boundary in
nonmarine rocks of Antarctica, Australia, and South Africa have drawn attention to unusual …

Core Ideas Spectral subtractions are a tool for improving FTIR spectroscopy. Minor
components of soil spectra such as SOM can be resolved by subtracting interfering …
