Sensor Based Technology for Predicting Soil Organic Carbon (Organic Matter) Kent Martin

Organic matter is the most complex, dynamic, and reactive soil component. Because of the importance of organic matter in soils, its estimation is important in disciplines ranging from soil fertility, chemistry, and physics to land planning and soil productivity.

Optical Sensor Uses NIR reflectance data at many different narrow-banded wavelengths More complex, but more expensive and less durable than single-band sensor Intended use: soil organic matter

Steps of sensor operation 1.Emit light using fiber optics 2. Light is reflected from soil surface 3.Light is captured by photodetector 4.Data is sent to PC

Effective Sensing Range nm

Prediction of organic carbon in the laboratory

Prediction was based on many variable soil types and variable moisture contents. Accuracy for SOM r^2= 0.89 Accuracy for moisture r^2= 0.94

Benefits Gives a way to measure soil organic matter Measures soil moisture Can be added to data layers for specific fields to generate maps

Negative Points Expensive Low durability Not yet acceptable for use in field

Possible uses of sensor Estimation of soil organic matter Soil structure Water holding capacity Infiltration of water and air Reduction of soil erosion
