Spectral Reflectance of Soils

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Remote Sensing of Soils

Abstract

The intimate knowledge of the spectral behaviour of soils is a key to their identification and characterization using remote sensing techniques. Nearly the entire shortwave solar radiation in the optical domain (from 300 to 2500 nm) incident on soil surface is either absorbed or reflected, and only a little of it is transmitted.
