Potentiality of laboratory visible and near infrared spectroscopy for determining clay content in forest soil: a case study from high forest beech (fagus sylvatica) in Calabria (southern Italy)

Potentiality of laboratory visible and near infrared spectroscopy for determining clay content in forest soil: a case study from high forest beech (fagus sylvatica) in Calabria (southern Italy)

Clay content is the most important textural fraction because affects soil fertility and productivity.Reflectance spectroscopy in the visible and near infrared (Vis-NIR, 350-2500 nm) spectral region could be an alternative to laboratory standard methods.This paper was aimed to develop a calibration m...
