Raman spectroscopy is a particularly advantageous method in plant biology, allowing simultaneous examination of various compounds and evaluation of molecular changes in plant tissues subjected to different stress factors. The purpose of our research was to investigate to what extent the differences in the physical properties of leaves of Alnus viridis, Hieracium bifidum and Platycerium bifurcatum allow us to reliably determine qualitative and quantitative changes in their chemical composition. We proved that if we employed the FT-Raman spectroscopy method direct comparison of the obtained results might be difficult or even impossible. Normalization of the spectra in some situations may help in the results interpretation. However, to study the global impact of the stress factors on the tissue we suggest preparing a tablet obtained from lyophilized and powdered leaves, that avoids the inhomogeneity of the sample. Additionally, the decomposition procedure of the overlapped peaks is necessary to obtain reliable quantitative results.
