ANATOMICAL DATABASE AND ATLAS OF CHINESE WOODS

■ Abstract of this Database

• The "Anatomical Database and Atlas of Chinese Woods" provides a very useful search program for the identification of Chinese woods species, as well as meaningful information for related education and research.
• The database contains anatomical descriptions and microscopic images of 1,255 species in 120 families and 470 genera, including CITES-protected tree species and endemic species.
• The database includes an interactive and user-friendly multi-entry wood identification key.
• The application of the database to investigate traditional and modern wood uses would be very beneficial to the understanding of archaeology, wooden architecture, art, design, and wood culture in China.
