Tropical Tree Selector
Once upon a time Phred wrote:
G'day mates, There was recently a request in sci.bio.botany for info on tropical hardwoods. As the Australian State of Queensland has (or had) an active Forestry research group (now embedded in the Qld Dept of Primary Industries), I thought it might be useful to have a squiz at the DPI home page http://www.dpi.qld.gov.au/home/default.html. Of course, this was somewhat optimistic of me given the modern drive from science and extension to bureaucracy in DPI, but there was some stuff there that might be of interest under the "Forestry, timber and wood" link http://www.dpi.qld.gov.au/forestry/. Mostly advertising books and other saleable items rather than providing on-line info, and largely aimed at plantation species. Three of the four "Contents" links are somewhat repetitive, but each probably does include some items not listed elsewhere. One of the more unusual items under the "Timber and Uses" link http://www.dpi.qld.gov.au/thematiclists/2722.html is a group of up to 100 timber samples available for purchase either singly or as boxed sets http://www.dpi.qld.gov.au/qfri/9513.html. [...] + + + Since the time of writing this sale of timber samples has been discontinued. Perhaps as part of "the modern drive ... to bureacracy in DPI" ? PvR |
