高效提取木材特征信息从而建立科学准确的木材树种识别方法,对推动生物多样性保护、林木资源可持续利用等具有重要现实意义。然而现有遗传学、计算机视觉等方法仍难以满足快速精准应用场景下的树种鉴定需求。以构造特征高度相似的3种栎属木材为研究对象:美国白栎(
Quercus alba
)、蒙古栎(
Q. mongolica
)和夏栎(
Q. robur
),对其开展树种识别方法研究。采用实时直接分析-飞行时间质谱技术(Direct Analysis in Real Time-Time-of-Flight Mass Spectrometry,DART-TOF-MS)获取木材化学指纹图谱,通过构建逻辑回归、多层感知机、随机森林和K-近邻算法等4种机器学习方法分析木材质谱数据,评估不同机器学习方法在树种识别中的可行性,同时比较质谱数据预处理参数对识别模型性能的影响。研究结果表明:逻辑回归算法具有最高的树种识别准确率(达89.5%),性能优于其他3种模型;不同机器学习方法在处理复杂质谱特征时表现出较明显差异,合理的分箱参数设置对模型性能具有关键影响,在相对峰强度阈值为3%、分箱容差为20 mmu时模型整体表现最优;3种栎属木材在木质素单体及其衍生物组成上具有高度相似性,但在黄酮类化合物、木质素二聚体及鞣花酸的空间分布方面存在差异。DART-MS结合机器学习方法对3种栎属木材呈现出较强的识别能力,可为木材树种的精准识别提供科学依据和技术路径。
Establishing scientific and accurate wood species identification methods through the efficient extraction of characteristic information from different wood species holds significant practical importance for promoting biodiversity conservation and the sustainable utilization of forest resources. However
existing techniques such as computer vision and DNA barcoding are still insufficient to meet the demand for rapid and accurate species discrimination
underscoring the need for methodological innovation in wood identification. In this study
three morphologically similar
Quercus
species common in trade:
Quercus alba
Quercus mongolic
and
Quercus robur
which are difficult to differentiate using conventional anatomical methods
were selected as investigated species to acquire spectral fingerprint data using Direct Analysis in Real Time-Time-of-Flight Mass Spectrometry (DART-TOF-MS). Four machine learning algorithms
including logistic regression
multilayer perceptron (MLP)
random forest(RF)
and k-nearest neighbors (KNN)
were then applied to DART-TOF-MS data to assess their feasibility for species classification. We further investigated the influence of different spectral preprocessing parameters on model performance. The results showed that the logistic regression model achieved the highest classification accuracy (89.5%)
outperforming the other three algorit
hms. Distinct differences were observed among the four machine learning approaches in their ability to handle complex spectral features
and appropriate binning strategies-particularly threshold control and mass tolerance selection-were found to be critical for optimal model performance
with the best results obtained at a parameter setting of 3% relative threshold and 20 mmu binning tolerance. Although the three
Quercus
species exhibited similarities in lignin monomers and their derivatives
significant differences were detected in the distribution of flavonoids
lignin dimers
and ellagic acid. The present results demonstrated that DART-TOF-MS combined with machine learning exhibited a strong capability for identifying the three
Quercus
wood species examined in this study
providing a scientific basis and technical pathway for the accurate identification of wood species.
