Soil organic carbon predictions in Subarctic Greenland by visible–near infrared spectroscopy
Release of carbon from high-latitude soils to the atmosphere may have significant effects on Earth’s climate. In this contribution, we evaluate visible–near-infrared spectroscopy (vis-NIRS) as a time- and cost-efficient tool for assessing soil organic carbon (SOC) concentrations in South Greenland....
