Reflectance spectroscopy in the near infrared is a non-destructive tool for evaluating soil properties. Water, carbon, nitrogen, organic matter, and other soil constituents can be measured using a UV/VIS/NIR field spectroradiometer, providing critical information on soil health. Traditional soil sampling processes are slow and expensive - gathering soil samples, preparing them for analysis, sending them to the lab, and waiting for the data. As concerns about efficient agricultural practices, the effects of climate change, chemical fertilization, erosion, and pollution grow, the availability of field spectrometry for soil science has become increasingly popular. Spectral Evolution field-portable spectroradiometers offer a fast, reliable, and accurate method of characterizing soil and land changes in situ.
