Background:

Soil contamination is a significant global challenge, impacting living standards and hindering progress towards Sustainable Development Goals.
Accurate soil mapping is crucial for developing effective remediation strategies and sustainable management practices.

Purpose of the Study:

To review visible and infrared reflectance spectroscopy (VIRS) methods for soil contamination detection.
To explore the integration of machine learning algorithms with VIRS for enhanced soil monitoring.
To discuss current challenges and future research directions in remote sensing of soil pollution.

Main Methods:

Utilizing proximal, airborne, and spaceborne VIRS platforms for large-area soil monitoring.
Employing machine learning algorithms (partial least squares regression, neural networks, random forest) to interpret spectral data.
Correlating spectral data with soil components (e.g., Fe-oxides, organic matter, clay) and vegetation reflectance for contaminant detection.

Main Results:

VIRS enables cost-effective, low-impact remote monitoring of soil contaminants.
Machine learning models effectively interpret spectral data to predict soil contamination levels.
Vegetation reflectance spectra can serve as an indicator for mapping soil pollution.

Conclusions:

VIRS and machine learning provide a powerful toolkit for remote soil contamination assessment.
Further research is needed to address current challenges and advance the field of remote soil sensing.
