TLDR
In this paper, the authors evaluated spectral data of wet and dry tropical Brazilian soils with different hydration and determined a method to identify soil mineralogy, to evaluate clay minerals at different moisture stages and their relationship with soil minerals, and to determine a model to estimate soil moisture using spectral data measured in the laboratory by a spectroradiometer.

The use of remote sensing in soil and terrain mapping — A review

TL;DR: In this article, the use of optical and microwave remote sensing data for soil and terrain mapping with emphasis on applications at regional and coarser scales is reviewed. But, most studies so far have been performed on a local scale and only few on regional or smaller map scale.

Using Imaging Spectroscopy to study soil properties

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors provide an up-to-date overview of some of the case studies that have used IS technology for soil science applications, including soil degradation (salinity, erosion, and deposition), soil mapping and classification, soil genesis and formation, soil contamination, soil water content, and soil swelling.

Predicting soil properties in the tropics

TL;DR: In this paper, the use of pedotransfer functions (PTFs) for predicting properties of soils in the tropics is discussed, and the guiding principles of prediction and the type of predictors are discussed, including laboratory data, field description and soil morphology, electromagnetic spectrum, proximal and remote sensed data.

Development of Reflectance Spectral Libraries for Characterization of Soil Properties

TL;DR: In this article, a scheme for development and use of soil spectral libraries for rapid nondestructive estimation of soil properties based on analysis of diffuse reflectance spectroscopy was developed. But the spectral library approach is not suitable for use in agricultural, environmental, and engineering applications.
