Many research activities in ecology and evolution involve the chemical analysis of tissues, soil or water. Because of natural variation in the field, proper chemical quantification often requires a large number of samples and many different chemical components. The combination of many samples, many compounds, and limited tissue mass creates a severe bottleneck in terms of money and time and this constrains the quality of ecological research. Recent advances in NIRS (Near Infrared Spectrometry) technology have largely removed such bottlenecks. NIRS systems use the entire infrared spectrum of tissues, combined with calibration curves of known chemical compounds, to rapidly, accurately and quantitatively determine chemical constituants of any tissue, soil or liquid sample. This proposal is to purchase a NIRS system and to make it available to the 45 researchers (all NSERC funded) who are members of the "Centre d'études sur la forêt"

生态学和进化论的许多研究活动涉及组织、土壤或水的化学分析。 由于现场的自然变化，适当的化学定量通常需要大量的样品和许多不同的化学成分。 许多样品，许多化合物和有限的组织质量的组合在金钱和时间方面产生了严重的瓶颈，这限制了生态研究的质量。 近红外光谱技术的最新进展在很大程度上消除了这些瓶颈。 NIRS系统使用组织的整个红外光谱，结合已知化合物的校准曲线，快速，准确和定量地确定任何组织，土壤或液体样品的化学成分。 这项建议是购买一套近红外光谱系统，并提供给“森林研究中心”成员的45名研究人员（均由国家环境研究中心资助）。
