Study on quantitative retrieval of soil nutrients

Soil spectral reflectance is affected by soil physicochemical characteristics and the physical basis of the soil remote sensing. Generally, the impact factors of the soil spectral features include water content, organic matter content, iron oxides content, physical composition and the parent material. In this study, a portable ASD FieldSpec Pro FR was used to collect the spectra of soil samples. The sensitive bands were selected by analyzing the relationship between nutrients and soil spectral features. Then the inversion models of soil nitrogen and organic were established by linear regression separately. The result showed that the content of soil nitrogen and soil organic can be well retrieved from remote sensing.
