Title : A near infrared index to assess effects of soil texture and organic carbon content on soil water content

Journal :  European Journal of Soil Science

Comment 


 Characterization of soil hydrodynamic properties is important for assessing the soil water regime. Over the last decades, diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (DRS) techniques have been used increasingly. Methods based on DRS offer several advantages compared with conventional ones because they are rapid, cost-effective and non-destructive. Therefore, the spread within the soil science community of soil spectroscopy in the visible (vis), near (NIR) and mid-infrared (MIR) spectral ranges enabled various physical, chemical and biological soil properties to be assessed.

 Spectra were converted into continuum removal and we focused on the absorption band near 1920 nm, which is linked to combination vibrations of water. They defined a new index based on the full width at half maximum (FWHM) of the absorption feature near 1920 nm. Results showed a linear relation between this NIR index and the volumetric SWC (R2 >0.9) for every soil aggregate.
