Abstract: This book provides a didactic overview of techniques for inferring information from soil spectroscopic data, and the codes in the R programming language for performing such analyses. It is intended for students, researchers and practitioners looking to infer soil information from spectroscopic data, focusing mainly on, but not restricted to, the infrared range of the electromagnetic spectrum. Little prior knowledge of the R programming language or digital soil spectra is required. We work through the steps to process spectroscopic data systematically.

Description / Table of Contents: This book reports on developments in Proximal Soil Sensing (PSS) and high resolution digital soil mapping. PSS has become a multidisciplinary area of study that aims to develop field-based techniques for collecting information on the soil from close by, or within, the soil. Amongst others, PSS involves the use of optical, geophysical, electrochemical, mathematical and statistical methods. This volume, suitable for undergraduate course material and postgraduate research, brings together ideas and examples from those developing and using proximal sensors and high resolution digital soil maps for applications such as precision agriculture, soil contamination, archaeology, peri-urban design and high land-value applications, where there is a particular need for high spatial resolution information. The book in particular covers soil sensor sampling, proximal soil sensor development and use, sensor calibrations, prediction methods for large data sets, applications of proximal soil sensing, and high-resolution digital soil mapping. - Table of contens: Part 1. Introduction.- Part 2. Soil Sensing and Sampling.- Part 3. Soil Spectroscopy and Hyperspectral Remote Sensing.- Part 4. ElectroMagnetic Induction and Electrical Resistivity.- Part 5. Geophysical and Mechanical Data.- Part 6. Multisensor Systems and Other Sensors.- Part 7. Applications.

Description / Table of Contents: This book introduces the concept of soil security and its five dimensions: Capability, Capital, Condition, Connectivity and Codification. These five dimensions make it possible to understand soil's role in delivering ecosystem services and to quantify soil resource by measuring, mapping, modeling and managing it. Each dimension refers to a specific aspect: contribution to global challenges (Capability), value of the soil (Capital), current state of the soil (Condition), how people are connected to the soil (Connectivity) and development of good policy (Codification). This book considers soil security as an integral part of meeting the ongoing challenge to maintain human health and secure our planet's sustainability. The concept of soil security helps to achieve the need to maintain and improve the world’s soil for the purpose of producing food, fiber and freshwater, and contributing to energy and climate sustainability. At the same time it helps to maintain biodiversity and protects ecosystem goods and services.

Notes: Abstract Some possible approaches to the aggregation and disaggregation of soil data and information are presented as an opener to the more detailed discussion. The concepts of hierarchy, grain, extent, scale and variability are discussed. Slight modifications to the Hoosbeek-Bryant scheme to deal with spatial and temporal scales and various types of quantitative models are suggested. Approaches to aggregation or upscaling are reviewed. The contributions of representative elementary volume (REV), variograms, fractal theory, multi-resolution analysis using wavelets, critical point phenomena, renormalisation groups and transfer functions are discussed followed by a brief presentation of some ecological approaches including extrapolation by lumping, extrapolation by increasing model extent and extrapolation by explicit integration. A clear distinction must be made between additive and non-additive variables. The scaling of the former is much less problematic than the latter. Corroboration of any approach by testing against the aggregated values seems problematic. Methods of disaggregation or downscaling including transfer functions, mass-preserving or pycnophylactic methods are also discussed. In order to make quantitative advances, nested sampling or reanalysis of data in land information systems to obtain variance information over a complete range of scales is required. Finally an appeal is made for work to begin on a quantitative scale-explicit theory of soil variation.

Notes: Abstract Grain flow measured at the flow sensor in a commercial yield monitoring system is considered to be the convoluted result of grain entering the harvester at one time being mixed by the internal threshing and transport processes with grain entering at other times. A transfer function describing the flow of grain within a conventional combine harvester was used to deconvolve the recorded signal using Fast Fourier Transformation (FFT). This process of time series analysis was shown to reposition the yield data in a more accurate manner than the simple time-delay process currently employed. The deconvolution increases the variability in the yield data from 10% to 17% which more closely resembles the variation in crop yield expected from small area samples. The spatial structure of yield variation obtained from small area samples was also shown to be more closely estimated by the deconvoluted data set, however the process does display sensitivity to noise introduced by mechanical/electrical sources and procedural errors.
