The rapid, accurate, and low-cost determination of soil properties has particularly important for land planning and management. The objective of this study was to evaluate the Vis-NIR spectral reflectance of soils, as a rapid, cost-effective, and non-destructive technique, for estimating some soil properties [sand, silt, clay, pH, and calcium carbonate equivalent (CCE)] by partial least-square regression (PLSR) and bagging-PLSR methods. For this purpose, a total of 220 composite soil samples were collected from 0-20 cm depth in Ghorveh Plain, Kurdistan province, in September 2019. The selected soil properties were measured by standard laboratory methods. The proximal spectral reflectance of soil samples was also measured within the 350-2500 nm range (Vis-NIR) using a handheld spectroradiometer. Different pre-processing methods were assessed after recording the spectra. The results indicated that the R2 values for the PLSR method ranged from 0.58 to 0.76, while the bagging-PLSR produced R2 values between 0.59 and 0.74. The RMSE values obtained for sand, silt, clay, CCE, and pH were 17.43, 7.65, 7.83, 7.94, and 0.66, respectively for the PLSR, and 16.66, 7.63, 8.13, 7.71, and 0.45 for the bagging-PLSR. Based on the ratio of prediction to deviation (RPD) values, the bagging-PLSR model achieved the best performance in predicting sand and CCE. However, for clay and pH prediction, the PLSR model was the most accurate. Both the PLSR and bagging-PLSR models yielded identical predictions for silt content, with an RPD value of 1.53. Overall, the results showed that PLSR and bagging-PLSR models have acceptable accuracy for estimating the proposed properties of the soils.
