Rapid prediction of natural durability of larch heartwood using Fourier transform near-infrared spectroscopy

Abstract: The feasibility of Fourier transform near-infrared (FT-NIR) spectroscopy for rapidly determining the natural durability of the heartwood of larch trees (Larix decidua Mill. and Larix kaempferi (Lamb.) Carrière) was investigated. FT-NIR spectra were collected from solid wood with a fibre-optical probe. Basidiomycetes tests using Coniophora puteana and Poria placenta were carried out on larch heartwood (European standard EN 113), with pine sapwood (Pinus sylvestris L.) used as a reference. The relative resistanc… Show more

“…Some results have already been reported (Gierlinger, 2003;Gierlinger et al, 2003;2004a;2004b;Jacques et al, 2002). This study evaluates the variability of natural durability among larch species and among and within provenances of European larch.…”

“…The first results on the prediction of decay resistance based on colour parameters are encouraging, but colour measurement cannot be the only element considered for predicting decay resistance. It would be interesting to combine methods like infrared or near-infrared spectroscopy to improve the predictions like with Larch species (Gierlinger et al, 2003). Wood colour and decay resistance were found to be related with the extractive content.…”

“…Chemical composition of larch wood is variable, which is e.g. refl ected in variable durability of larch heartwood, reported to range from nondurable to moderately durable (class 5 to 3, European Standard EN 350-1) (Gierlinger et al, 2003).…”
