摘      要：Characterizing spatial variability of soil attributes, using traditional soil sampling and laboratory analysis, is cost prohibitive. The potential benefit of managing soils on a site-specific basis is well established. High variations in glacial till soil render detailed soil mapping difficult with limited number of soil samples. To overcome this problem, this paper demonstrates the feasibility of soil carbon and clay mapping using the newly developed on-the-go near-infrared reflectance spectroscopy (NIRS). Compared with the geostatistics method, the partial least squares regression (PLSR), with NIRS measurements, could yield a more detailed map for both soil carbon and clay. Further, by using independent validation dataset, the accuracy of predicting could be improved significantly for soil clay content and only slightly for soil carbon content. Owing to the complexity of field conditions, more work on data processing and calibration modeling might be necessary for using on-the-go NIRS measurements.
