Variable indicators for optimum wavelength selection in diffuse reflectance spectroscopy of soils
Diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (DRS) operating in 350–2500 nm wave length range is fast emerging as a rapid and
non-invasive technique for analyzing multiple soil attributes. Because the spectral reflectance values in ...
How fertile are semi-arid tropical soils?
The semiarid
tropical (SAT) regions are notably characterized by low rainfall and high temperatures, and hence low natural primary
productivity and soil fertility. However, to adequately respond to the title of our article ...
Comparison of data mining approaches for estimating soil nutrient contents using diffuse reflectance spectroscopy
Diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (DRS) operating in wavelength range of 350–2500 nm is emerging as a rapid and noninvasive
approach for estimating soil nutrient content. The success of the DRS approach relies on the ability ...
Soil information system: web-based solution for agricultural land-use planning
The soil-forming factors, especially climate, vegetation
and topography, act on a range of rock formations
and parent materials leading to the development of
different kinds of soils. Through concerted efforts, soil
datasets ...
Soil and water management
Soil and water form the basis of all terrestrial life. Their resources vary widely and are affected by natural and anthropogenic
perturbations. Ancient civilizations and cultures emerged and sustained on good soils; and ...
