Advancing soil health, nutrient management, and sustainable agriculture through research. 2026 Predicting Soil Health Indicators in Florida Sandy Soils Using Diffuse Reflectance Mid-Infrared Fourier Transform Spectroscopy Read Full Article Contributing Authors Celestin, F., Deiss, L., Champiny, Ryan E., Dubeux, Jose C.B., Maltais-Landry, G., Mylavarapu, R., and Lin, Y Highlights Partitioned spectra improved machine learning prediction SVM and NN outperformed PLS POX-C, ACE, and SOM were predicted accurately Mid-DRIFTS enables rapid soil health assessment 2025 Cropping system is a key determinant of soil health after accounting for environmental and edaphic variability Read Full Article Contributing Authors Celestin, F., Dubeux, Jose C.B., Maltais-Landry, G., Mylavarapu, R., and Lin, Y Highlights Grazed pastures had higher organic matter and carbon indicators than row crops. Soil pH and PSR were elevated in row crop systems. Cropping system consistently affected carbon-based indicators. The relative importance of environmental and edaphic variables was indicator-specific.
