    This document provides instructions for a wood anatomy lab practical focusing on identifying and describing the anatomical structures of Dipterocarpaceae woods. Students are given micrographs of transverse, tangential, and radial sections of various Dipterocarpaceae species and asked to 1) identify wood type, vessel arrangement, parenchyma cell type and other features and 2) describe overall characteristics based on literature. The objectives are to identify wood characteristics and anatomical structures for identification. Nine examples of Dipterocarpaceae species are provided with labeled micrographs for students to examine, including Shorea leprosula, Keruing, Dryobalanops sp., Hopea mengarawan, Neobalanocarpus

    LAB PRACTICAL 2

    Title: WOOD ANATOMICAL STRUCTURE AND WOOD IDENTIFICATION


    (Dipterocarpaceae Wood)

    Lecturer: Shirley M. Bakansing


    Introduction
    • Wood is the product from trees, whether from natural forest or plantation
    forest. Wood resource is still an important product until now which brings high
    income to the country. Various species of trees in the natural forest provides
    wide range of choices of timber. Different species of trees show different wood
    anatomical structure, characteristics and properties. Basically, the information
    of wood anatomy helps in identifying timbers to determine the wood species
    and price, however nowadays, wood anatomy provides more information for
    many purposes such as for forest forensic, dendrochronology, climatology,
    wood modification, wood quality enhancement and rules/regulation
    enforcement for protected species.

    • In this practical, students are required to apply the scientific skill in wood
    anatomical structure study to understand and explain the wood anatomical
    structure for wood identification purpose.
    Objectives
    1. To identify and describe the wood characteristics;
    2. To identify and describe the wood anatomical structure for wood
    identification purpose.

    Materials
    • Micrographs of Dipterocarpaceae wood
    1.Transverse section
    2.Tangential section
    3.Radial section
    Method/Instruction
    1. Students are given a wood species, in the form of micrographs. The
    micrographs were taken from transverse, tangential and radial section.
    Students may copy the micrographs into the lab reports as results.
    2. Based on the three micrographs, describe the wood anatomical structure:
    • a)Wood type
    • b)Vessel type and arrangement
    • c) Parenchyma cell type and arrangement
    • d) Other features.
    3.Describe the characteristics (colour, grain and texture) of the wood species
    given. Information is based on the literature review.
    4. In your results, label the structures in the micrographs.
    5. Please refer to Picture 1 - 9 for wood species micrographs.
