Detection of Carbon Stock Change in Agricultural Soils Using Spectroscopic Techniques
Soil Science Society of America Journal (SSSAJ), Madison, WI
Soil organic carbon (SOC) represents one of the major pools in the global C cycle. Therefore, even small changes in SOC stocks cause important CO2 fluxes between terrestrial ecosystems and the atmosphere. However, SOC stocks are difficult to quantify accurately due to their high spatial variability. The aim of this paper is to evaluate the potential of Imaging Spectroscopy (IS) using the Compact Airborne Spectrographic Imager (CASI; 405–950 nm) and field spectroscopy with an Analytical Spectral Devices spectrometer (ASD; 350–2500 nm) to measure SOC content in heterogeneous agricultural soils. more…
