Notes:
-1 for grasses and 33 g kg-1 for legumes, but the reduction was inconsistent among grass species. Calibrations were developed for pooled and separate grass and legume populations. Analytical accuracy, represented by standard error of cross-validation (SECV), was similar among grass treatments (SECV ≥ 27 g kg-1), but was higher for dry ground (SECV ≥ 16 g kg-1) than for coarse (SECV ≥ 21 g kg-1) treatments within legume and pooled populations. Coarse samples require less processing, but more replicate scans for spectral repeatability, than dry ground samples. Coarse sample analysis may be acceptable when processing is costly, rapid analyses are required, or when possible compositional alterations due to freezing or drying should be avoided.
