The project pursues the goal of standardising the spatiotemporal monitoring of soil organic carbon (SOC) on long-term field experiments (LTFEs). A comparison of various spectral sensors and platforms of remote and proximal soil sensing is performed. The methods generate different data formats with various information contents in relation to the target variable SOC: image formats in different spatial resolution versus spectral point measurements, multispectral versus hyperspectral measurements, laboratory versus field measurements, aboveground versus belowground measurements. The different data processing steps and the involved modelling steps for SOC prediction shall be implemented, automated, standardised and comprehensibly documented in open source software. The methodology is thereby made available to a broad group of users. Accurate knowledge of the spatiotemporal variability of SOC contents on arable land can be used to identify hotspots so that management can be adjusted to maintain and increase SOC stocks and reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
