摘要： Soil spectroscopy offers a rapid, cost-effective alternative to traditional soil analyses for characterization and classification. Previous studies have mainly focused on predicting soil categories using single sensors, particularly visible-near-infrared (vis-NIR) or mid-infrared (MIR) spectroscopy. In this study, we evaluated the performance of vis-NIR, MIR, and their combined spectra for soil classification by partial least-squares discriminant analysis (PLSDA) and random forest (RF). Utilizing 60 typical soil profiles' data of four soil classes from the global soil spectral library (GSSL), our results demonstrated that in PLSDA models, direct combination (optimal overall accuracy: 70.6%, kappa coefficient: 0.60) and outer product analysis (OPA) fused spectra (optimal overall accuracy: 68.1%, kappa coefficient: 0.57) outperformed vis-NIR (optimal overall accuracy: 62.2%, kappa coefficient: 0.49) but underperformed compared to MIR (optimal overall accuracy: 71.4%, kappa coefficient: 0.62). In RF models, classification accuracy using fused spectra was inferior to single spectral ranges, with MIR achieving the highest classification accuracy (optimal overall accuracy: 89.1%, kappa coefficient: 0.85). Therefore, MIR alone remains the most effective spectral range for accurate soil class discrimination. Our findings highlight the potential of MIR spectroscopy for enhancing global soil classification accuracy and efficiency, with important implications for soil resource management and agricultural planning across diverse environments.
