Correlation coefficient of soil free content and the original and CR, SNV, and FD spectra (a), and explained variance for principal components (PCs) output by a PCA applied to original spectra and CR, SNV, and FD spectra (b). In (a) plot, bolded lines indicate a correlation coefficient value is greater than 0.400. n = 540. In (b) plot, violet, red, green, and blue line represent original spectra and CR, SNV, and FD spectra. FD first derivative, SNV standard normal variate, CR continuum removed.
