A global spectral library to characterize the world´s soil
Original language description
Soil provides ecosystem services, supports human health and habitation, stores carbon and regulates emissions of greeenhouse gases. Unprecedented pressures on soil from degradation and urbanization are threatening agroecological balances and food security. It is important that we learn more about soil to sustainably manage and preserve it for future generations. To this end, we developed and analyzešd a global soil visible-near infrared (vis-NIR) spectral library. It is currently the largenst and most diverse database of its kind. We show that the information encoded in the spectra can describe soil composition and be associated to land cover and its global geographic distribution, which acts as a surrogate for global climate variability. We also show the usefulnesss of the global spectra for predictiong soil attributes such as soil organic and inorganic carbon, clay, silt, sand and iron contents, cation exchange capacity and pH.
