Response to Reviewer 1 comment Comments and Suggestions for Authors The manuscript entitled “Determination of Mehlich 3 extractable elements with visible 2 and near-infrared spectroscopy in a mountainous agricultural 3 land, the Caucasus Mountains” is scientifically interesting and original.
Lines 516-518: You call attention to the spectral signature at 2326 nm, and then what? Readers may be more interested in your analysis and interpretation.
