“…Furthermore, the simple structure of LIBS systems allows for design of portable devices for field use (Knadel et al, 2017;Yamamoto, Cremers, Ferris, & Foster, 1996). Previous studies have reported the application of LIBS for quantitative analysis of soil properties, including soil texture (Villas-Boas et al, 2016), pH (Ferreira, Neto, Milori, Ferreira, & Anzano, 2015), CEC (Liu, Zeng, Zhang, Liu, & Lin, 2012), C (Cremers et al, 2001;Martin et al, 2010;Nguyen, Moon, & Choi, 2015), and N, P, and K (Dong, Zhao, Zheng, Zhao, & Jiao, 2013;Lu et al, 2013).…”
