The present research performed to estimate soil texture using visible near-infrared spectrometry in Semirom, Isfahan. A total number of 200 soil samples (0-10 cm) were collected from the Semirom area (51º 17' - 52º 3' E; 30º 42' - 31º 51' N), Isfahan. The samples were air dried and passed through a 2 mm sieve, and soil particles percentage was determined in the laboratory using hydrometry method. Reflectance spectra of all samples were measured using an ASD field spectrometer. Different pre-processing methods i.e., First Derivatives and Savitzky-Golay Filter, Multiplicative Scatter Correction and Standard Normal Variable were applied and performed on spectral data. The Partial Least Squares Regression, Support Vector Machine Regression and Artificial Neural Network models were used to estimate soil texture. The best result was obtained for Silt estimation, with excellent values of RPD >2, R2 =0.98 and RMSE=1.08 using Artificial Neural Network model with MSC pre-processing technique. The results indicated the desirable capability of Artificial Neural Network model with MSC and SNV pre-processing techniques in estimating the Clay (RPD >2, R2=0.94 and RMSE=1.21) and Sand (RPD >2, R2=0.84 and RMSE=6.24) contents of the soils, respectively. In general, based on the results of this study, VNIR spectroscopy was successful in estimating soil particles percentage and showed its potential for substituting laboratory analyses.

Estmiating of Soil Particles Percentage Using Visible-Near Infra-Red (NIR) spectrometry in Semirom area, Isfahan
EXTENDED ABSTRACT
Soil texture, describing the relative proportion of sand, silt and clay in the mineral phase of soils is a major determinant of its water storage capacity and permeability, aeration, bulk density, aggregate stability and carbon storage capacity. Soil texture measurement on large scales using experimental methods can be extremely time-consuming and expensive, especially when dealing with a high spatial sampling density. Soil Visible and Near-Infra Red (V-NIR) reflectance spectroscopy has proven to be a fast, cost-effective, nondestructive, environmental-friendly, repeatable, and reproducible analytical technique. V-NIR reflectance spectroscopy has been used more than 30 years to predict an extensive variety of soil properties like organic and inorganic carbon, nitrogen, organic carbon, moisture, texture and salinity. The objective of this study was to estimate soil texture using visible near-infrared and short-wave Infrared (SWIR) reflectance spectroscopy (350-2500 nm) in Semirom, Isfahan. In this study, the best predictions of all the soil particles percentage, model and pre-processing technique were also determined. The Partial Least Squares Regression (PLSR), Support Vector Machine Regression and Artificial Neural Network models were also compared to estimate soil texture.
A total number of 200 soil samples (0-10 cm) were collected from the Semirom area (51º 17' - 52º 3' E; 30º 42' - 31º 51' N), Isfahan. The samples were air dried and passed through a 2 mm sieve, and soil particles percentage was determined in the laboratory. Reflectance spectra of all samples were measured using an ASD field spectrometer. Different pre-processing methods i.e., First (FD) Derivatives and Savitzky-Golay Filter, Multiplicative Scatter Correction (MSC) and Standard Normal Variable (SNV) were applied and were performed on spectral data. The Partial Least Squares Regression (PLSR), Support Vector Machine Regression and Artificial Neural Network models were used to estimate soil texture. The selection of the best model was done according to the value of the Residual Prediction Deviation (RPD), the coefficient of determination (R2), and the Root MeanSquare Error (RMSE).
Coefficient of Variation (CV) values indicated that the variability of clay and silt were medium. However, the variability of Sand was high. The soil property of best Result was Silt, with excellent values of RPD >2, R2 =0.98 and RMSE=1.08 using Artificial Neural Network model with MSC pre-processing technique. The results indicated the desirable capability of Artificial Neural Network model with MSC and SNV pre-processing techniques in estimating the Clay (RPD >2, R2=0.94 and RMSE=1.21) and Sand (RPD >2, R2=0.84 and RMSE=6.24) contents of the soils, respectively.
In general, based on the results of this study, VNIR spectroscopy was successful in estimating soil particles percentage and showed its potential for substituting laboratory analyses. Further, spectroscopy could be considered as a simple, fast, and low-cost method in predicting soil properties.
