The potencial of Coffea arabica leaves as bioindicators of atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO₂) was evaluated in a free-air carbon dioxide enrichment (FACE) experiment by using near-infrared reflectance (NIR) spectroscopy for direct analysis and partial least squares discriminant analysis (PLS-DA). A supervised classification model was built and validated from the spectra of coffee leaves grown under elevated and current CO₂ levels. PLS-DA allowed correct test set classification of 92% of the elevated-CO₂ level leaves and 100% of the current-CO₂ level leaves. The spectral bands accounting for the discrimination of the elevated-CO₂ leaves were at 1657 and 1698 nm, as indicated by the variable importance in the projection (VIP) score together with the regression coefficients. Seven months after suspension of enriched CO₂, returning to current-CO₂ levels, new spectral measurements were made and subjected to PLS-DA analysis. The predictive model correctly classified all leaves as grown under current-CO₂ levels. The fingerprints suggest that after suspension of elevated-CO₂, the spectral changes observed previously disappeared. The recovery could be triggered by two reasons: the relief of the stress stimulus or the perception of a return of favorable conditions. In addition, the results demonstrate that NIR spectroscopy can provide a rapid, nondestructive, and environmentally friendly method for biomonitoring leaves suffering environmental modification. Finally, C. arabica leaves associated with NIR and mathematical models have the potential to become a good biomonitoring system.
