The carboxylic acid and carboxylate groups of OM show specific absorption bands in Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectra.

These mixtures were characterized by FTIR spectroscopy using the KBr technique. After smoothing and baseline correction, the spectral data were interpreted for the carboxylate (COO<sup>−</sup>) band in FTIR resulting from asymmetric vibrations (<i>ν</i><sub>as</sub>COO<sup>−</sup>) and normalized to polysaccharide (COC) band to obtain <i>ν</i><sub>as</sub>COO<sup>−</sup>/COC ratio.</p>\u0000 </section>\u0000 \u0000 <section>\u0000 \u0000 <h3> Results</h3>\u0000 \u0000 <p>The cation–PGA mixtures showed a linear increase in <i>ν</i><sub>as</sub>COO<sup>−</sup>/COC ratio with cation concentration and a shift of the <i>ν</i><sub>as</sub>COO<sup>−</sup> band maxima towards lower WNs. The effects on <i>ν</i><sub>as</sub>COO<sup>−</sup>/COC ratios and shift were smallest for K<sup>+</sup>–PGA mixtures and largest for Al<sup>3+</sup>–PGA and Fe<sup>3+</sup>-PGA mixtures.</p>\u0000 </section>\u0000 \u0000 <section>\u0000 \u0000 <h3> Conclusions</h3>\u0000 \u0000 <p>Data confirmed that the intensity and WN of <i>ν</i><sub>as</sub>COO<sup>−</sup> band maxima in FTIR of cation–PGA mixtures changed with type and concentration of cations. Especially for the Al<sup>3+</sup>–PGA and Fe<sup>3+</sup>–PGA mixtures, the intensity and WN of <i>ν</i><sub>as</sub>COO<sup>−</sup> band maxima changed linearly with cation concentration. Understanding these relations can help to improve interpretation of FTIR spectra of SOM.

Accurate estimates of soil properties, along with the uncertainty of these estimates, are necessary for decision-making in PA. An essential soil quantity required to accurately predict crop yield is the soil organic carbon (SOC) content. To obtain the large amount of information necessary for PA implementation, the use of satellite images has become a common practice. This allows the spatial interpolation of soil properties.
