This study aimed to rapidly and accurately identify geographical origin, tree species, and model wood density using visible and near infrared (Vis-NIR) spectroscopy coupled with chemometric methods. A total of 280 samples with two origins (Jilin and Heilongjiang province, China), and three species, Dahurian larch (Larix gmelinii (Rupr.) Rupr.), Japanese elm (Ulmus davidiana Planch. var. japonica Nakai), and Chinese white poplar (Populus tomentosa carriere), were collected for classification and prediction analysis. The spectral data were de-noised using lifting wavelet transform (LWT) and linear and nonlinear models were built from the de-noised spectra using partial least squares (PLS) and particle swarm optimization (PSO)-support vector machine (SVM) methods, respectively. The response surface methodology (RSM) was applied to analyze the best combined parameters of PSO-SVM. The PSO-SVM model was employed for discrimination of origin and species. The identification accuracy for tree species using wavelet coefficients were better than models developed using raw spectra, and the accuracy of geographical origin and species was greater than 98% for the prediction dataset. The prediction accuracy of density using wavelet coefficients was better than that of constructed spectra. The PSO-SVM models optimized by RSM obtained the best results with coefficients of determination of the calibration set of 0.953, 0.974, 0.959, and 0.837 for Dahurian larch, Japanese elm, Chinese white poplar (Jilin), and Chinese white poplar (Heilongjiang), respectively. The results showed the feasibility of Vis-NIR spectroscopy coupled with chemometric methods for determining wood property and geographical origin with simple, rapid, and non-destructive advantages.

Wood density is a key indicator for tree functionality and end utilization. Appropriate chemometric methods play an important role in the successful prediction of wood density by visible and near infrared (Vis-NIR) spectroscopy. The objective of this study was to select appropriate pre-processing, variable selection and multivariate calibration techniques to improve the prediction accuracy of density in Chinese white poplar (Populus tomentosa carriere) wood. The Vis-NIR spectra were de-noised using four methods (lifting wavelet transform, LWT; wavelet transform, WT; multiplicative scatter correction, MSC; and standard normal variate, SNV), and four variable selection techniques, including successive projections algorithm (SPA), uninformative variables elimination (UVE), competitive adaptive reweighted sampling (CARS) and iteratively retains informative variables (IRIV), were compared to simplify the dimension of the high-dimensional spectral matrix. The non-linear models of generalized regression neural network (GRNN) and support vector machine (SVM) were performed using these selected variables. The results showed that the best prediction was obtained by GRNN models combined with the LWT and CARS method for Chinese white poplar wood density (Rp2 = 0.870; RMSEP = 13 Kg/m3; RPDp = 2.774).

This study aimed to measure the carbon content of tree species rapidly and accurately using visible and near-infrared (Vis-NIR) spectroscopy coupled with chemometric methods. Currently, the carbon content of trees used for calculating the carbon storage of forest trees in the study of carbon sequestration is obtained by two methods. One involves measuring carbon content in the laboratory (K2CrO7-H2SO4 oxidation method or elemental analyzer), and another involves directly using the IPCC (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change) default carbon content of 0.45 or 0.5. The former method is destructive, time-consuming, and expensive, while the latter is subjective. However, Vis-NIR detection technology can avoid these shortcomings and rapidly determine carbon content. In this study, 96 increment core samples were collected from six tree species in the Heilongjiang province of China for analysis. The spectral data were preprocessed using seven methods, including extended multiplicative scatter correction (EMSC), first derivative (1D), second derivative (2D), baseline correction, de-trend, orthogonal signal correction (OSC), and normalization to eliminate baseline drifting and noise, as well as to enhance the model quality. Linear models were established from the spectra using partial least squares regression (PLS). At the same time, we also compared the effects of full-spectrum and reduced spectrum on the model’s performance. The results showed that the spectral data processed by 1D with the full spectrum could obtain a better prediction model. The 1D method yielded the highest R2c of 0.92, an RMSEC (root-mean-square error of calibration) of 0.0056, an R2p of 0.99, an RMSEP (root-mean-square error of prediction) of 0.0020, and the highest RPD (residual prediction deviation) value of 8.9. The results demonstrate the feasibility of Vis-NIR spectroscopy coupled with chemometric methods in determining the carbon content of tree species as a simple, rapid, and non-destructive method.

Fourier transform near infrared (FT-NIR) spectroscopy, in combination with principal component-linear discriminant analysis (PC-LDA), was used for tracing the geographical origin of durum wheat samples. The classification model PC-LDA was applied to discriminate durum wheat samples originating from Northern, Central, and Southern Italy (n = 181), and to differentiate Italian durum wheat samples from those cultivated in other countries across the world (n = 134). Developed models were validated on a separated set of wheat samples. Different pre-treatments of spectral data and different spectral regions were selected and compared in terms of overall discrimination (OD) rates obtained in validation. The LDA models were able to correctly discriminate durum Italian wheat samples according to their geographical origin (i.e., North, Central, and South) with OD rates of up of 96.7%. Better results were obtained when LDA models were applied to the discrimination of Italian durum wheat samples from those originating from other countries across the world, having OD rates of up to 100%. The excellent results obtained herein clearly indicate the potential of FT-NIR spectroscopy to be used for the discrimination of durum wheat samples according to their geographical origin.

Geographical origin, an important indicator of the chemical composition and quality grading, is one essential factor that should be taken into account in evaluating coal quality. However, traditional coal origin identification methods based on chemistry experiments are not only time consuming and labour intensive, but also costly. Near-Infrared (NIR) spectroscopy is an effective and efficient way to measure the chemical compositions of samples and has demonstrated excellent performance in various fields of quantitative and qualitative research. In this study, we employ NIR spectroscopy to identify coal origin. Considering the fact that the NIR spectra of coal samples always contain a large amount of redundant information and the number of samples is small, the broad learning algorithm is utilized here as the modelling system to classify the coal geographical origin. In addition, the particle swarm optimization algorithm is introduced to improve the structure of the Broad Learning (BL) model. We compare the improved model with the other five multivariate classification methods on a dataset with 243 coal samples collected from five countries. The experimental results indicate that the improved BL model can achieve the highest overall accuracy of 97.05%. The results obtained in this study suggest that the NIR technique combined with machine learning methods has significant potential for further development of coal geographical origin identification systems.

The combined optimization of Savitzky-Golay (SG) smoothing and multiplicative scatter correction (MSC) were discussed based on the partial least squares (PLS) models in Fourier transform near-infrared (FT-NIR) spectroscopy analysis. A total of 5 cases of separately (or combined) using SG smoothing and MSC were designed and compared for optimization. For every case, the SG smoothing parameters were optimized with the number of PLS latent variables (F), with an expanded number of smoothing points. Taking the FT-NIR analysis of soil organic matter (SOM) as an example, the joint optimization of SG smoothing and MSC was achieved based on PLS modeling. The results showed that the optimal pretreatment was successively using SG smoothing and MSC, in which the SG smoothing parameters were 4th degree of polynomial, 2nd-order derivative, and 67 smoothing points, the best corresponding F, RMSEP, and RP were 7, 0.3982 (%), and 0.8862, respectively. This result was far better than those without any pretreatment. The combined optimization of SG smoothing and MSC could obviously improve the modeling result for NIR analysis of SOM. In addition, a new method for the classification of calibration and prediction was proposed by normalization principle. The optimizations were done on this basis of this classification.
