description Physical and chemical analysis of soils with traditional methods usually brings some disadvantages to the environment and economy due to time, cost, and chemical waste outputs. The purpose of this research were to i-) determine the increasingly widespread usage areas of visible near-infrared reflection spectroscopy (Vis-NIR) and portable X-ray fluorescence (pXRF) spectra in soil science, ii-) contribute to the increasing the efficiency of Vis-NIR and pXRF spectra and the areas that can be used in soil science for Vis-NIR and pXRF spectra. The advantages of Vis-NIR and pXRF spectra over traditional physical and chemical analysis methods of soils are that they are environmentally friendly, low cost, no need for any chemical substance, and rapid results without damaging soil samples. Therefore, it is increasingly used in characterizing and predicting soil properties. Vis-NIR and pXRF spectra have been widely used to predict the content of sand, silt and clay, organic carbon, organic matter, lime, moisture content, cation exchange capacity, and pH of soils. The researchers reported that Vis-NIR and pXRF spectra were very successful in their individual and combined use in determining and predicting soil properties. To expand the usage areas of Vis-NIR and pXRF spectra in soil science, it is necessary to develop the method and the calibrations of the devices by making more researches in the developing soils under different main materials, land use, climate, and vegetation. Thus, it is predicted that the success performance in the prediction and characterization of soil properties with Vis-NIR and pXRF spectra will increase.
