identify the potential limits of accuracy and precision. This paper reports the results of the first seven testing cycles. The NIR calibration was expanded from an initial sample set of 104 mixed eucalypt samples to over 720 samples covering more than 40 species from predominantly temperate sites across Australia. The performance of the final calibration using two independent and contrasting data sets showed that a multisite and multispecies calibration is feasible. The expected potential accuracy and precision that can be expected from NIR predictions is discussed.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
