Spectrometric characteristics of soils of the subboreal zone of the eastern part of the Russian plain

Abstract

© 2020 SPIE. The use of express methods for assessing of soil degradation degree is a global trend. Numerous studies suggest the possibility of using spectrometric methods for determination of chemical compounds in the soil. In this work, an attempt is made to determine the agrochemical parameters by spectrometric methods for agricultural soils of the subboreal zone of the east of the European Plain. The main types of spectrograms for gray forest soils and leached chernozems were determined and compared with the results of agrochemical analyzes at soil sampling points. The main regularities in indicators change depending on spectrometric curves type are analyzed. The results of the work can be claimed for express determination of agricultural soils degradation degree for a given natural zone.
