Rövid leírás:

This atlas presents macroscopic descriptions, macro cross section pictures, general characteristics and identification keys of 335 wood species currently introduced in the European timber market from all over the world. Overall 292 different genera are represented and CITES-listed timbers are also included. Macroscopic descriptions are based on a recently proposed list of macroscopic features for wood identification. Macroscopic features and their codes are defined and illustrated in the atlas. Wood descriptions also include information about natural durability, physical and mechanical properties, end uses, environmental sustainability and possible related misleading commercial names. Furthermore, each genus is described in terms of number of species, geographical distribution and main commercial timbers, and details are given about to what extent timbers within the genus can be typically identified through macroscopic and microscopic analysis, if any.

The atlas will be a valuable guide for all agents in charge for timber verification, those involved in the European Timber Regulation enforcement and CITES inspections, as well as wood scientists, foresters, wood sellers, wood restorers, and any wood worker and wood passionate interested in a fast and reliable tool for wood identification.

?Ruffinatto and Crivellaro have produced a welcome addition to the ranks of must-have English-language references for macroscopic wood identification. ? this book should not be restricted only to European wood anatomists, but should extend to wood identification specialists and wood technologists across the world. ? This book belongs on the shelves, physically or electronically, of wood anatomists and wood identifiers across the world and should become a required reference for any import/export control officer responsible for monitoring wood trade in the EU.? (Alex C. Wiedenhoeft, Wood Science and Technology, Vol. 54, 2020)

?This large volume ? is a remarkable contribution to the field of wood identification. ? Continuous refinement and attention to the field since then has produced a remarkablebody of knowledge of this important organ. This volume is a great addition to it.? (Richard Keating, Economic Botany, Vol. 74 (3), 2020)
