Section outline

  • These readings will support what we spoke about in lectures and will provide a stronger understanding of the topics.

    • Please take a look at the first two chapters of the Bowyer and Hoadley books that I mentioned today regarding taxonomy and gross anatomy.

    • Please take a look at the attached chapter regarding hardwood anatomy which we will speak about tomorrow. You will find that the information between the two authors overlaps but there are some unique points in each.

    • Please take a look at the following chapter from Hoadley regarding softwood anatomy and cells. 

    • These readings will help you make your own decision making tree and decide which species you are looking at. We will use this approach in our lab together on the 30th of October.
