Eucalyptus globulus is an important pulpwood source due to favorable wood characteristics, including low extractive content. However, there is significant tree-to-tree variation that can be exploited in breeding. This requires screening a large number of samples, which NIR and PLS-R make possible. Models are typically developed for a specific set of samples prepared in the same way. The question is: how well these models predict samples that are different from the ones used in the model. Models developed to determine the extractive content of Eucalyptus globulus wood from Australia were used to E. globulus wood from Argentina, which differed in age and sample preparation. The main difference between spectra of the two origins was in the OH combination band, despite the fact that samples were dried identically. Due to this difference, models that included the O-H band assigned above 73% of the spectra as outliers regardless of preprocessing, whereas models that did not include the O-H band assigned fewer spectra as outliers. The differences in the OH band were attributed primarily to differences in particle size and extractive content, rather than to differences in humidity content. However, all models predict similar results for all samples, including outliers.
