The recognition of the identity of tree plants is a subjective process that presents many difficulties, especially in a highly diverse environment such as the Amazon. The problems caused by misidentification affect from botanical inventories to the monitoring and commercialization of wood as the final product. Previous studies have shown that near infrared spectroscopy is effective for discriminating tree species using both leaf and wood. However, these studies were performed in the laboratory and with dry material, necessitating the determination of methods under field conditions. In order to improve the forest inventory system in Amazonia and to assist in the recognition of species for management, a combination of portable equipment and a...
