Within a given wood species, many wood properties are related with the site characteristics, since the tree records all the environmental factors into the wood. Chemical composition of wood is slightly different even between one wood species coming form different provenances. To classify the origin of a timber it has always been considered a difficult task and no effective techniques are available up to now. Samples collected from different part of Europe have been investigated by both traditional chemical analysis and by spectroscopic measurement (FT-NIR and FT-IR-ATR). It was concluded that trees growing in various locations have some differences in the chemical structure and presented spectroscopic techniques are sensitive enough to detect such variation.

Abstract
Within a given wood species, many wood properties are related with the site characteristics, since the tree records all the environmental factors into the wood. Chemical composition of wood is slightly different even between one wood species coming form different provenances. To classify the origin of a timber it has always been considered a difficult task and no effective techniques are available up to now. Samples collected from different part of Europe have been investigated by both traditional chemical analysis and by spectroscopic measurement (FT-NIR and FT-IR-ATR). It was concluded that trees growing in various locations have some differences in the chemical structure and presented spectroscopic techniques are sensitive enough to detect such variation.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
