Abstract
⺠Near-infrared (NIR) and mid-infrared (MIR) spectrometry were reviewed for C stock measurement. ⺠We present a comprehensive table comparing NIR and MIR technical and economic performances. ⺠Performances of NIR calibration models depend on the origin of calibration and validation samples. ⺠Mass concentration of C could be measured on fresh soil samples by NIR but accuracy is still an issue. ⺠In-field C stock estimation for Kyoto Protocol requires that bulk density also is measurable by NIR.
