Pitfalls in the Use of Middle-Infrared Spectroscopy: Representativeness and Ranking Criteria for the Estimation of Soil Properties

Middle-infrared spectroscopy (MIRS) is an established method for estimating the contents of soil organic carbon (SOC) and total soil nitrogen (N). However, obtained estimation accuracies vary between studies and only few studies are available that …
