The application of satellite remote sensing for soil studies in upland areas of Southern Italy

摘要: Spectral data can supply useful information on soil spatial variability even when the surface is partially masked by vegetation. This paper reports first results of research aiming to assess possibilities and limits satellite remote sensing for studying soils in Apennine Mountains Southern Italy. region characterized presence large areas bare during certain times year, but also dissected terrain which strongly influences spectral response soils. The presented show potential remotely-sensed broadly predict parameters, such as organic matter (OM) calcium carbonate content (CACAR), from radiance values. However, a sub-scene classification, illustrate greater provide reconnaisance mapping information, be tested limited ground checks
