In this study, we explored the potential of imaging spectrometry (hyperspectral) remote sensing of CNC in conifer plantations in China’s subtropical red soil hilly region. Our analysis included data from 57 field plots scattered across two transects covered by Hyperion images. Single regression and partial least squares regression (PLSR) were used to explore the relationships between CNC and hyperspectral data. The correlations between CNC and nearinfrared reflectance (NIR) were consistent in three data subsets (subsets A–C ). For all subsets, CNC was significantly positively correlated with NIR in the two transects ( 2 R =0.29, 0.33 and 0.36, P0.05 or P0.01, respectively). It suggested that the NIR-CNC relationship exist despite a weak one, and the relationship may be weakened by the si
