Visible and Near‐Infrared Reflectance Spectroscopy for Investigating Soil Mineralogy: A Review

open access: yesJournal of Spectroscopy, Volume 2018, Issue 1, 2018., 2018
Clay minerals are the most reactive and important inorganic components in soils, but soil mineralogy classifies as a minor topic in soil sciences. Revisiting soil mineralogy has been gradually required. Clay minerals in soils are more complex and less well crystallized than those in sedimentary rocks, and thus, they display more complicated X‐ray ...
