The aim of the study was to investigate the properties of hyperspectral reflectance data of Scots pine (Pinus Sylvestris L.) and Norway spruce (Picea Abies L.). The hyperspectral reflectance data was obtained under laboratory conditions from the last season’s needles of healthy 20 year-old trees from the same site. Hyperspectral data was acquired using Themis Vision Systems LLC VNIR 400H portable scanning hyperspectral imaging camera in 400-1000 nm range. Methods of analysis of variance, discriminant analysis and principal component analysis were applied for the hyperspectral data analysis. Differences between Scots pine and Norway spruce reflection data were examined. The most informative spectral range for Norway spruce – Scots pine spectral separation was determined at 666.5 nm – 668.4 nm, most informative waveband - 667.1 nm. Reflectance variations among individual trees of the same species as well as differences in spectral response between needles from northern – southern crown exposition were tested. A significant variation in spectral response of needles of Norway spruce was detected across the whole measured spectral range (955 wavebands) for each sample tree. However, significant variation of spectral response of needles of Scots pine was detected only in 356 out of 955 wavebands for each sample tree. Depending on the crown exposition to the North or South, the reflectance of Scots pine needles differed significantly in 900 spectral bands. No significant differences were detected in 833 wavebands for Norway spruce.
