Organic carbon prediction in soil cores using VNIR and MIR techniques in an alpine landscape

Abstract Diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (DRS), including visible and near-infrared (VNIR) and mid-infrared (MIR) radiation, is a rapid, accurate and cost-effective technique for estimating soil organic carbon (SOC). We examined 24 soil cores (0–100 cm) from the Sygera Mountains on the Qinghai–Tibe...
