Use Sentinel Satellite Data for Estimation of Soil Properties: A Review

Abstract— Soils are an important component of the critical zone and a finite resource. Mapping and monitoring these resources in the field, regional, and global stages is crucial for better management and prevention of degradation. Remote sensing (RS) techniques provide several advantages over conventional approaches for evaluating soil parameters, including large-scale coverage, non-destructive nature, temporal monitoring, multispectral capabilities, and rapid data collecting. Aside from laboratory circumstances, Sentinel satellite data has been used to estimate various soil parameters in a variety of applications. This review highlights research on soil properties estimation using sentinel data, including methodology and outcomes for each study. Various soil properties like Soil Texture, Soil Salinity, Soil Texture, Soil Organic Carbon estimated using sentinel data.
