Accurate estimation and mapping of SOM content are crucial for guiding agricultural output and management, as well as controlling the climate issue. Traditional chemical analysis is unable to satisfy the dynamic estimation of SOM due to its low timeliness. Remote and proximal sensing have significant advantages in terms of ease of use, estimation accuracy, and geographical resolution. In this study, we developed a framework based on machine learning to estimate SOM with high accuracy and resolution using Fourier mid-infrared attenuation total reflectance spectroscopy (FTIR-ATR), Sentinel-2 images, and DEM derivatives. This framework\u2019s performance was evaluated on a regional scale using 245 soil samples from northeast China. Results indicated that the calibration size could be shrunk to 50% while achieving a fair prediction performance for SOM content. The Lasso, partial least squares (PLS), support vector regression (SVR), and convolutional neural networks (CNN) performed well in predicting SOM from FTIR-ATR spectra, and the performance was enhanced further by using Sentinel-2 images and DEM derivates. The PLS, SVR, and CNN models created SOM maps with higher spatial resolution and variation than the Kriging approach. The PLS and SVR models provided enough variety and were more realistic in the local SOM map, making them usable at the field scale, and the suggested framework took a fresh look at high-resolution SOM mapping.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/rs15041072","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,2,16]],"date-time":"2023-02-16T01:36:52Z","timestamp":1676511412000},"page":"1072","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":22,"title":["A Framework for High-Resolution Mapping of Soil Organic Matter (SOM) by the Integration of Fourier Mid-Infrared Attenuation Total Reflectance Spectroscopy (FTIR-ATR), Sentinel-2 Images, and DEM Derivatives"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"15","author":[{"given":"Xuebin","family":"Xu","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"The State Key Laboratory of Soil and Sustainable Agriculture, Institute of Soil Science Chinese Academy of Sciences, Nanjing 210008, China"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9064-3581","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Changwen","family":"Du","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"The State Key Laboratory of Soil and Sustainable Agriculture, Institute of Soil Science Chinese Academy of Sciences, Nanjing 210008, China"},{"name":"College of Advanced Agricultural Sciences, University of Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing 100049, China"}]},{"given":"Fei","family":"Ma","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"The State Key Laboratory of Soil and Sustainable Agriculture, Institute of Soil Science Chinese Academy of Sciences, Nanjing 210008, China"}]},{"given":"Zhengchao","family":"Qiu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"The State Key Laboratory of Soil and Sustainable Agriculture, Institute of Soil Science Chinese Academy of Sciences, Nanjing 210008, China"}]},{"given":"Jianmin","family":"Zhou","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"The State Key Laboratory of Soil and Sustainable Agriculture, Institute of Soil Science Chinese Academy of Sciences, Nanjing 210008, China"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,2,15]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"32","DOI":"10.1016\/j.geoderma.2018.09.003","article-title":"Prediction of soil organic carbon stock by laboratory spectral data and airborne hyperspectral images","volume":"337","author":"Guo","year":"2019","journal-title":"Geoderma"},{"key":"ref_2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"403","DOI":"10.1016\/j.geoderma.2008.06.011","article-title":"Soil organic carbon prediction by hyperspectral remote sensing and field vis-NIR spectroscopy: An Australian case study","volume":"146","author":"Gomez","year":"2008","journal-title":"Geoderma"},{"key":"ref_3","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"105842","DOI":"10.1016\/j.catena.2021.105842","article-title":"Regional mapping of soil organic matter content using multitemporal synthetic Landsat 8 images in Google Earth Engine","volume":"209","author":"Luo","year":"2022","journal-title":"Catena"},{"key":"ref_4","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"186A","DOI":"10.2489\/jswc.69.6.186A","article-title":"Societal value of soil carbon","volume":"69","author":"Lal","year":"2014","journal-title":"J.
