Las muestras de suelo se colectaron en dos niveles: 1) diferentes campos de la provincia (DC), 2) campo específico (CE). Las firmas espectrales vis-NIR se adquirieron a nivel de laboratorio con un espectrofotómetro portátil en el rango de longitud de onda de 399 a 1697 nm. Los resultados mostraron que los espectros de absorbancia de estos tipos de suelos pueden distinguirse, lo que sugiere que el tipo de suelo podría identificarse a partir de los espectros obtenidos. La absorbancia de luz varió con la longitud de onda en cada tipo de suelo en DC y CE. Una comparación visual de la forma de los espectros y la variación entre DC y CE dentro del mismo tipo de suelo mostró alguna similitud. Alrededor de 1400 nm en ambos tipos de suelo, los valores de absorbancia aumentaron y disminuyeron seguidamente. Estas características demuestran una excelente coincidencia entre las firmas espectrales de DC y CE. Además, en CE se observó que el patrón de absorbancia del suelo aumenta en la misma medida en que se incrementa la materia orgánica (MO %). En suelo Pardo mullido carbonatado este patrón se observó a 399 nm, mientras que para Vertisol fue cerca de 580 nm.]]></p></abstract>
<abstract abstract-type="short" xml:lang="en"><p><![CDATA[ABSTRACT The objective of this research was to compare the spectral signature of two soil types, Cambisol and Vertisol, cultivated with sugarcane in the Villa Clara province, Cuba. The soil samples were collected at two levels: 1) Landscape level of the province (DC), 2) within a field (CE). The vis-NIR spectral signatures were acquired in the laboratory by means of a diode array spectrophotometer covering the wavelength range from 399 to 1697 nm. The results showed that the absorbance spectra of these two soil types can clearly be distinguished, which suggests that the soil type could be derived from the spectra. The light absorbance by the soil varied with wavelength in each soil type in DC and CE. A visual comparison of the spectral shape and the variation between a field and landscape within the same soil group showed some similitude. Around the wavelength of 1400 nm in both soil types the absorbance values increase and consequently decrease again. These characteristics bring a good match of the spectral signatures of DC and CE. In addition, in CE an increasing pattern of soil absorbance was observed as organic matter (OM %) increases. This pattern was observed around 399 nm and 580 nm while for Cambisol and Vertisol respectively.]]></p></abstract>
