Abstract

ABSTRACT Soil reflectance spectroscopy has become an innovative method for soil property quantification supplying data for studies in soil fertility, soil classification, digital soil mapping, while reducing laboratory time and applying a clean technology. This paper describes the implementation of a Graphical User Interface (GUI) using R named AlradSpectra. It contains several tools to process spectroscopic data and generate models to predict soil properties. The GUI was developed to accomplish tasks such as perform a large range of spectral preprocessing [...]

Highlights

Summary

Introduction

Soil reflectance spectroscopy has made it possible to study soil fertility, granulometry quantification, soil class discrimination, while reducing laboratory time, as well as the use of chemical products (Demattê et al, 2019; Moura-Bueno et al, 2019). Spectroscopy in the visible (Vis: 400-700 nm), near infrared (NIR: 701-1100 nm), and short-wave infrared (SWIR: 1101-2500 nm) regions of the electromagnetic spectrum associated with chemometric methods has allowed the quantification of physical, chemical, and mineralogical soil properties (Viscarra Rossel and Behrens, 2010) This technique has become a well-established method to assess soil properties rapidly and accurately in the laboratory (Ben Dor et al, 2015), with the possibility of predicting several properties in just one spectral reading, facilitating data acquisition from large amounts of samples, and without the use of environmentally hazardous chemicals (Dotto et al, 2016, 2018; Demattê et al, 2019). The application of linear regression, ordinary least-squares regression, data mining, and machine learning algorithms are examples of modeling methods
