List of Priority Species LIST OF PRIORITY SPECIES Identification of timber species and geographic origin www.globaltimbertrackingnetwork.org December 2013 GTTN List of Priority Species REASONS, CRITERIA AND METHODS USED FOR PRIORITISING SPECIES With more than 800 commercial timber species worldwide, it is necessary to identify priorities for inclusion of species in the project. Priority species lists are needed to locate existing data for immediate use in the database, to identify gaps in knowledge and data for such species, and to raise awareness about species that should be considered in new research. The criteria considered with respect to species identification include: tree species that are difficult to recognize in the field or using wood anatomy, the conservation status (CITES, IUCN, regional and national listing) and the existence of barcodes. For the verification of geographic origin, criteria were the trade importance, management problems (logging intensity, regeneration), the conservation status, the existence of genetic tools and data, the existence of sample collections suitable for genetic and/or isotope fingerprinting, the species distribution and the geographic representation were included. Listing of species was done by participants at different workshops: The GTTN regional workshops for Americas and for Asia, Pacific & Oceania organised by Bioversity International in 2013; Two workshops (Cameroon and Germany) organised during the preparation of the International Tropical Timber Organisation (ITTO) project Development and implementation of a species identification and timber tracking system in Africa with DNA fingerprints and stable isotopes. After listing the species, participants at various workshops were also asked to assign different level of priority (Height, Medium and Low) taking into account all criteria listed above. Page 1 GTTN List of Priority Species SPECIES LISTED The global list of high (Table 1), medium (Table 2) and low (Table 3) priority timber species are presented below. Figures 1 to 3 present the number of species listed per continent, the level of priority (high, medium or low), and the conservation status (according to IUCN red list and CITES appendices). The number of species requiring the development of local barcodes is presented in Fig. 4.

  • Seasoning and Handling of Ramin1
    U. S. DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE FOREST SERVICE FOREST PRODUCTS LABORATORY MADISON,WIS. In Cooperation with the University of Wisconsin U. S. FOREST SERVICE RESEARCH NOTE FPL- 0172 SEPTEMBER 1967 SEASONING AND HANDLING OF RAMIN1 By JOHN M. McMILLEN, Technologist Forest Products Laboratory, Forest Service U.S. Department of Agriculture Abstract One of the imported woods that is finding increasing use for specific purposes is ramin (Gonystylus spp.). It originates in the Southwest Pacific and has seasoning properties somewhat like oak. Many importers, custom dryers, and users are not aware of the special seasoning and handling requirements of this wood. As a result, some firms have experienced heavy losses. This note brings together suggestions that should greatly reduce or eliminate these losses. Ramin--Production and Properties Ramin (pronounced ray-min) is the common name used in the United States for wood from Gonystylus spp., principally G. bancanus growing in Sarawak, Malaysia. Another common name used in Malaya is melawis. The trees grow 1 Partly based on information from experienced importers, custom dryers, and users of ramin. in fresh water swamp forests and have straight, clean boles averaging 60 feet long and 2 feet in diameter near the base. Principal sources are the river valleys of Sarawak and the west coast of Malaya. In the Philippines, G. macrophyllus is common in the primary forests. An undetermined species is fairly comon in the Solomon Islands, Ramin is an attractive, high-class utility hardwood having about the same weight as sycamore or paper birch. Both the sapwood and the heartwood are white to pale straw in color.

  • Biggest Trees of the World Pub 13-2
    Dendrology Series WSFNR13-2 January 2013 Tallest, Biggest, & Oldest Trees by Dr. Kim D. Coder, Professor of Tree Biology & Health Care Warnell School of Forestry & Natural Resources, University of Georgia Trees have a long relationship with people. They are both utility and amenity. Trees can evoke awe, mysticism, and reverence. Trees represent great public and private values. Trees most noticed and celebrated by people and communities are the one-tenth of one-percent of trees which approach the limits of their maximum size, reach, extent, and age. These singular, historical, culturally significant, and massive trees become symbols and icons of life on Earth, and our role in environmental stewardship and sustainability. What Is A Tree? Figure 1 is a conglomeration of definitions and concepts about trees from legal and word defini- tions in North America. For example, 20 percent of all definitions specifically state a tree is a plant. Concentrated in 63% of all descriptors for trees are four terms: plant, woody, single stem, and tall. If broad stem diameter, branching, and perennial growth habit concepts are added, 87% of all the descrip- tors are represented. At its most basic level, defining a tree is not species based, but is a structural definition. A tree is represented by a type of plant architecture recognizable by non-technical people. The most basic con- cepts for defining a tree are -- a large, tall, woody, perennial plant with a single, unbranched, erect, self- supporting stem holding an elevated and distinct crown of branches greater than 10 feet in height and greater than 3 inches in diameter.

  • Antimycobacterial Activity of the Ethanolic Extract of the Wood of Bulnesia Sarmientoi Lorentz Ex
    ANTIMYCOBACTERIAL ACTIVITY OF THE ETHANOLIC EXTRACT OF THE WOOD OF BULNESIA SARMIENTOI LORENTZ EX. GRISEB MICKEL R. HIEBERT,A MARÍA EUGENIA FLORES-GIUBI,A JAVIER E. BARUA,A GLORIA M. MOLINA-SALINAS,B ESTEBAN A. FERRO,A NELSON L. ALVARENGAA* (Received June 2012; Accepted August 2012) ABSTRACT In this work the in vitro antimycobacterial activity of the ethanolic extract obtained from the wood of Bulnesia sarmientoi Lorentz ex. Griseb and its chemical compo- sition were studied. The preliminary phytochemical analysis of the extract showed the presence of steroids and/or triterpenes and tannins, and a GC/MS fingerprint analysis identified guaiol and bulnesol as main volatile components of the extract, based on their retention index and the comparison of their mass spectra with those contained in NIST libraries. The extract showed activity against Mycobacterium tu- berculosis H37Rv strain with a minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) of 50 µg/mL, using the microplate Alamar Blue assay. These results suggest that the extract could be a source of antimicrobial substances against M. tuberculosis. www.relaquim.com Keywords: Bulnesia sarmientoi, antimycobacterial, Alamar Blue, Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Rv, GC/MS. RESUMEN En el presente trabajo se evaluó la actividad antimicobacteriana in vitro y se estudió la composición química del extracto etanólico obtenido de la madera de Bulnesia sarmientoi Lorentz ex. Griseb. El estudio fitoquímico preliminar mostró la presen- cia de taninos y esteroides y/o triterpenos. Los componentes volátiles del extracto fueron además analizados por cromatografía gaseosa acoplada a espectrometría de masas (CG/EM) e identificados por comparación con las librerías NIST 21 y 107 del equipo y además con base en sus índices de retención.

  • Changes to CITES Species Listings
    NOTICE TO THE WILDLIFE IMPORT/EXPORT COMMUNITY December 21, 2016 Subject: Changes to CITES Species Listings Background: Party countries of the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species (CITES) meet approximately every two years for a Conference of the Parties. During these meetings, countries review and vote on amendments to the listings of protected species in CITES Appendix I and Appendix II. Such amendments become effective 90 days after the last day of the meeting unless Party countries agree to delay implementation. The most recent Conference of the Parties (CoP 17) was held in Johannesburg, South Africa, September 24 – October 4, 2016. Action: Except as noted below, the amendments to CITES Appendices I and II that were adopted at CoP 17, will be effective on January 2, 2017. Any specimens of these species imported into, or exported from, the United States on or after January 2, 2017 will require CITES documentation as specified under the amended listings. The import, export, or re-export of shipments of these species that are accompanied by CITES documents reflecting a pre-January 2 listing status or that lack CITES documents because no listing was previously in effect must be completed by midnight (local time at the point of import/export) on January 1, 2017. Importers and exporters can find the official revised CITES appendices on the CITES website. Species Added to Appendix I . Abronia anzuetoi (Alligator lizard) . Abronia campbelli (Alligator lizard) . Abronia fimbriata (Alligator lizard) . Abronia frosti (Alligator lizard) . Abronia meledona (Alligator lizard) . Cnemaspis psychedelica (Psychedelic rock gecko) .

    IAWA Journal, Vol. 28 (2), 2007: 125-137 WOOD ULTRASTRUCTURE OF ANCIENT BURIED LOGS OF FITZROYA CUPRESSOlDES Maria A. Castro1 and Fidel A. Roig2 SUMMARY The anatomy and ultrastructure of subfossil wood of Fitzroya cup res­ soides from the late Pleistocene (>50,000 14C years before present) were compared with those of extant F. cupressoides trees from southern Chile, using light microscopy (polarized light and ftuorescence), scanning elec­ tron microscopy coupled with an energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy system, and transmission electron microscopy. The ancient wood showed an unchanged gross wood structure, loss of cell wall birefringence, loss of lignin autoftuorescence, and a loss of the original microfibrillar pat­ tern. The energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy analysis indicated higher than normal contents of S, Cl, and Na in subfossil wood. Ultrastructural modifications in the cell wall of the subfossil wood could have important implications for further studies involving isotopic and wood anatomical measurements of ancient wood. Key words: Fitzroya cupressoides, Pleistocene subfossil wood, cell wall ultrastructure, TEM, SEM-EDXA analysis, wood anatomy. INTRODUCTION The temperate rain forest of South America has a very rich tree species assemblage with a high level of endemism (Arroyo et al. 1993). One of the natural endemies is Fitzroya cupressoides (Molina) I.M.lohnston (alerce, Cupressaceae), a tree species that grows under a relatively low annual mean temperature and high precipitation in areas ofthe southernAndes ofChile and southwesternArgentina. Tree-ring analysis revealed that Fitzroya is a slow-growing tree and is one of the longest-lived tree species in the world, known to reach up to around 3,500 years of age (Lara & Villalba 1993).

Received 22 December, 2018; Accepted 21 January, 2019 The Kimbi Fungom National Park is reported to be relatively less diverse compared to other national parks of Cameroon. This might be due to the configuration of the landscape and habitat types. The main objective of this study is to determine the species composition, structure and diversity in the heterogeneous landscape of the Kimbi Fungom National Park defined by different habitat types. The park was divided into 20 blocks and 10 blocks were randomly selected for this flora survey. In each block, a 1 km line transect was established with 5 quadrates of 20 × 20 m. These transects were laid to cut across four major vegetation types (lowland rainforest, gallery forest, woodland and grassland savanna). A total of 2831 stems 1 cm circumference were identified and measured. This belongs to 222 species, in 54 families. Fabaceae, Rubiaceae and Euphorbiaceae were found to be the most dominant plant families. Tree density and basal area were lowest in the grassland while it was highest in the lowland forest. Species composition and diversity varied with vegetation type and landscape configuration.
