Short summary
The first openly accessible Austrian near-infrared (NIR) Soil Spectral Library was developed, including over 2100 samples covering all Austrian environmental zones. At present, the predictive accuracy for most properties was insufficient compared to routine laboratory analyses; however, several key properties showed predictive potential. We encourage using the open Library as a foundation for further spectral analysis and modelling and we support future soil health assessments via spectroscopy.
