| Summary: | The data pertains to georeferenced soil samples collected from poplar plantations situated in the plains of northern Italy between 1994 and 1996 and targeted areas with poplar plantations that were at least five years old in 1994.
Soil characteristics (texture, NH4+, NO3-, CaCO3, P2O5, pH, organic matter, Soil Organic Carbon - SOC) were documented for every first layer of soil samples, while NIR spectroscopy data for every layer were collected using an ASD Fieldspec instrument. Reflectance at wavelength range 350 – 2,500 nm was acquired. Measurements adhered to the IEEE-P4005 standard on standard sands.
Other useful data like the presence of irrigation was recorded, as well as the depth of the temporary and permanent water table for the topmost layer.
Spectral row data and soil database holds potential for conducting further studies and comparisons with other monitoring soil survey. By utilizing these samples as long-term control points, it becomes possible to identify changes in land use patterns or properties. It would be of interest to investigate the temporal dynamics of organic carbon in the soil or its relation with land management, thus the potential for carbon farming.
