United Nations Environment Programme, Nairobi. http://www.unep.org/dewa/Portals/67/pdf/LHS_Report_lowres.pdf • Increase sample density in landscapes • Direct prediction of soil-plant responses to management • Measure frequency of problems and associated risk factors in populations using statistical sampling designs & standardized measurement protocols Shepherd KD and Walsh MG (2007) Infrared spectroscopy—enabling an evidence-based diagnostic surveillance approach to agricultural and environmental management in developing countries. Journal of Near Infrared Spectroscopy 15: 1-19.

  3. Spectral shape relates to basic soil properties • Mineral composition • Iron oxides • Organic matter • Water (hydration, hygroscopic, free) • Carbonates • Soluble salts • Particle size distribution  Functional properties

  6. Spectral prediction performance

  7. Spectral libraries

  8. Submit batch of spectra online • Uncertainties estimated for each sample • Samples with large error submitted for reference analysis • Calibration models improve as more samples submitted • All subscribers benefit

  9. Spectral fingerprinting X-ray diffraction spectroscopy Total X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy Infrared spectroscopy

  15. Critical success factors • Consistent field sampling protocol • Soil-Plant sample labeling, drying, preparation, sub-sampling, shipping, back-up storage • Data management, linking • Judicious selection of samples for reference analysis • Consistency of reference analyses • Use MIR as a soil covariate • Direct calibration of MIR to plant/soil response http://worldagroforestry.org/research/land-health/spectral-diagnostics-laboratory
