Resumo Executivo
Orbital shortwave infrared characterisation of agricultural soils, extracting the Cellulose Absorption Index (CAI) for crop residue cover, clay mineral composition, and soil organic carbon (SOC) baseline proxies across bare soil windows.
Principais Descobertas Metodológicas
2.00–2.20 µm cellulose absorption doublet differentiates crop residue from dry bare soil without NDVI saturation artifacts.
Illite/smectite clay mineral ratios accurately map soil moisture retention capacity and cation exchange capacity (CEC) variations.
Multi-temporal bare-soil compositing isolates pure soil spectral curves for calibrated SOC baseline proxy maps.
Física e Metodologia de Inversão
Applies temporal composite filtering across harvest-to-planting windows to extract pure soil spectral curves, followed by continuum removal over the 2.0–2.4 µm region to quantify diagnostic absorption band depths.
