There is still a lack between pedology and the knowledge of what is the perspective of spectroscopy in this science. Thus, it is important to describe how soil sensing can assist these pedologists on their studies. This work aims to show the perspective of proximal and remote sensing (VisNIR) on the evaluation of pedogenetic processes and parent material alterations along a toposequence and to estimate their mineralogical content. Eight soil classes from different taxonomic units were studied. Soil samples were submitted to physicochemical, mineralogical, and reflectance spectroscopy analyses. Reflectance data were acquired in laboratory conditions using a spectroradiometer (400–2500
