Anatomical Description of Wood Species Used in the Civil Construction

ABSTRACT

This work brings the anatomical description of five wood species (Pachystroma ilicifolium, Esenbeckia leiocarpa, Cariniana estrellensis, Ocotea porosa e Cassia ferruginea) usually used in the civil construction. The presented descriptions showed that the species in this study can be sorted by their wood anatomy - what contributes not only to the safety warranties but also to the conservation of forest species.
