Cover Story: Changing environmental conditions and inadequate land management are endangering soil quality, which in turn affects crop productivity as well as food security. In this work, advances in hyperspectral remote sensing were exploited to characterize the soil degradation status, as well as its impact on crop growth and agricultural productivity. Within an agricultural area of Central Spain, airborne data covering the VNIR–SWIR–TIR (0.4–12 µm) were acquired, and vegetation properties such as the leaf area index (LAI), the crop water stress index (CWSI), and crop yield were derived and compared to the soil erosion and accumulation stages (SEAS). The results show that crop traits are related to a soil’s degradation status, with highly eroded soils and sandy accumulation zones being associated with areas of low LAI, crop yield, and high crop water stress.
