Tropical Timber Atlas
The Tropical Timber Atlas presents the most up-to-date technological information for all professionals who process and use tropical woods. It replaces ATIBT's classic 'Atlases', now out of print. It brings together the main technological characteristics of 283 tropical and 17 temperate wood species, the most used in Europe, associated with their main end-uses. With respect to the most recent version of Tropix (v. 7.5.1, released in 2015), the well-known software developed by CIRAD to describe the properties and characteristics of tropical wood species, this new atlas contains 55 new species. Each descriptive sheet is illustrated by 2 photos of flow (dosse or quarter, false quarter), 2 macrophotographies, and for some species an illustration of use. Wood sector operators will be the main users, whether producers (forest managers, logging companies, policy makers) or consumers (importers, traders, processors, users, architects, project managers, masters of work). This Atlas is a reference tool for teaching and training in the tropical forest and wood sectors. It aims to promote the most appropriate uses for each species according to its characteristics, respecting the adage "the right wood in the right place".
