Beginning with a discussion of reflectance spectroscopy, this article attempts to provide a
review on fundamental concepts of reflectance spectroscopic techniques. Their applications …

This literature review explores the assessment of biochar quality and its impact on soil
properties using diffuse reflectance spectroscopy. Biochar, a product of biomass pyrolysis, is …

Diffuse reflectance spectroscopy in the visible and near‐infrared (VNIR) spectral range has
increasingly been utilised in recent years to measure soil properties, including organic …

Spectroscopy in visible (Vis) and near-infrared (NIR) provides a rapid, timely, non-
destructive, low-preparation, and less expensive analysis of soil samples in comparison with …

Rapid soil properties monitoring and modeling are crucial for sustainable soil management
interventions. The analysis of soil properties in the laboratory using standard procedures is …

Core Ideas The soil–water retention characteristics govern the water effect on soil vis‐NIR
spectra. Soil clay, silt, sand content, and the water content at pF3 can be predicted with high …

Abstract The Republic of Azerbaijan suffers from low agricultural productivity caused by soil
salinization and erosion, and limited and insufficient soil data are available for economic …

As classical soil analysis is time-consuming and expensive, there is a growing demand for
visible, near-infrared, and short-wave infrared (Vis-NIR-SWIR, wavelength 350–2500 nm) …

Core Ideas Conventional methods for measuring CEC are time consuming and costly. A Vis–
NIRS model and pedotransfer function (PTF) were developed for CEC determination. The …

Background Paleoanthropological research focus still devotes most resources to areas
generally known to be fossil rich instead of a strategy that first maps and identifies possible …
