HIGHLIGHTS NIR spectroscopy has yielded promissory estimates of the NSC in wood. NIR signatures taken from wood powders are more informative for NSC modeling. NSC predictions from wood disc spectra provided satisfactory responses. Breeders can understand the resilience of trees using NSC estimates by NIR.
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.
