Extractives in some tropical woods
European Journal of Wood and Wood Products, 2010 Total amount and composition of extractives from 12 different tropical wood species were determined by sequential extraction followed by silylation and GC, GC/MS analysis. Hexane and then acetone/water (5:1) mixture was used successively for the extraction.

Tropical forest wood production: a cross‐continental comparison [PDF]
Journal of Ecology, 2014 Summary Tropical forest above‐ground wood production (AGWP) varies substantially along environmental gradients. Some evidence suggests that AGWP may vary between regions and specifically that Asian forests have particularly high AGWP. However, comparisons across biogeographic regions using standardized methods are lacking, limiting our assessment of ...
