Abstract
Highlights
Prediction models for soil properties using MIR spectroscopy performed well.
Woody and herbaceous cover influenced topsoil OC more than vegetation class.
Erosion had a strong effect on SOC across each vegetation class.
Predictive maps of SOC and erosion were generated using Landsat 8 reflectance.
Restoration potential was assessed using key land and soil health variables.
