Rapid discrimination of wood species from native forest and plantations using near infrared spectroscopy

Aim of study: To verify how well near infrared (NIR) spectroscopy is able to discriminate wood specimens from natural and planted forests. This study was carried out using tropical trees from Brazil. Area of study: Wood specimens coming from Lavras (21°10′S, 44°54′W), Paraopeba (19°16′S, 44°24′W) a...
