Resumo: Remotely sensed imagery serves as a tool for accelerating soil survey activity to the extent that features in the imagery can be related to soils in their landscape. This has been clearly proven for discrimination of broad geomorphic units in Landsat and SPOT imagery. However, farm-level soil mapping is likely to require discrimination of soil units at a scale where topographic clues are not enough for class separation. The capability to distinguish soil classes in remote imagery is very much related to inherent spectral behavoir of diagnostic soil components. This is especially true in Brazil where soil color is used for class definition, principally as a covarying property with iron oxide form and content. This study investigated the potencial for soil spectral discrimination of a chromosequence of latosols (oxisols), from the Central Plateau of Brazil, using a portable field radiometer sensitive in the 380-875 nm reflective wavelength range. Pairwise comparison of spectral reflectance of soils reveals wavelength regions of maximum spectral discrimination, accentuating the 450-520 nm (blue) region of opaque behavior of the hematite-rich Dark-Red Latosol (LE) in contrast to the goethite rich Red-Yellow Latossol (LV).

Isto tem sido amplamente comprovado na discriminação de unidades geomorfológicas em imagens Landsat e SPOT. Porém, mapeamento detalhado, exige discriminação de unidades de solos numa escala onde feições topográficas não bastam para separação de classes, sendo necessário um conhecimento maior das características espectrais do solo. A capacidade de distinguir classes de solos com dados espectrais se relaciona com o comportamento espectral inerente dos componentes do solo. A discrimi­nação espectral de solos é especialmente apropriada no Brasil onde a cor do solo é usada na definição de classes, notadamente como propriedade covariante com o tipo e conteúdo de óxidos de ferro. Isto pode ser atingido por meio da caracterização de sua reflectância, agre­gando informações além dos comprimentos de onda da percepção humana de cor. Este traba­lho investigou o potencial para discriminação espectral de uma cromoseqüência de latossolos do Planalto Central usando um radiômetro de campo sensível na faixa de comprimento de onda refletido de 380-875 nm. A comparação de pares espectrais de solos revela os comprimentos de onda de máxima discriminação espectral que, no caso dos dois latossolos estuda­dos, corresponde à região de 450-520 nm (azul) de opacidade do Latossolo Vermelho-Escu­ro, rico em hematita em contraste com o Latossolo Vermelho-Amarelo, rico em goetita.Pesquisa Agropecuaria BrasileiraPesquisa Agropecuária BrasileiraStoner, EricDerksen, InaMacedo, Jamil1991-10-01info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://seer.sct.embrapa.br/index.php/pab/article/view/3502Pesquisa Agropecuaria Brasileira; v.26, n.10, out. 1991; 1599-1606Pesquisa Agropecuária Brasileira; v.26, n.10, out. 1991; 1599-16061678-39210100-104xreponame:Pesquisa Agropecuária Brasileira (Online)instname:Empresa Brasileira de Pesquisa Agropecuária (Embrapa)instacron:EMBRAPAporhttps://seer.sct.embrapa.br/index.php/pab/article/view/3502/835info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess2009-12-23T16:20:11Zoai:ojs.seer.sct.embrapa.br:article/3502Revistahttp://seer.sct.embrapa.br/index.php/pabPRIhttps://old.scielo.br/oai/scielo-oai.phppab@sct.embrapa.br || sct.pab@embrapa.br1678-39210100-204Xopendoar:2009-12-23T16:20:11Pesquisa Agropecuária Brasileira (Online) - Empresa Brasileira de Pesquisa Agropecuária (Embrapa)false
