Face to the current global energy crisis, there is an urgent
necessity of searching for alternatives to fossil fuels, and this
book shows how timber is a promising resource for sustainable
energy production. Northeast Mexico represents an important forest
resource to satisfy the needs of the population in these areas. In
order to harness these forest resources, technology for exploring
these valuable resources must be developed. These technologies
(with special reference to biology and wood technologies) are
available in scattered form in a few books but there is no central,
comprehensive source for practical forest scientists for adopting
efficient forest management, practice, and exploration. This book
deals with the characterization of the vegetation, morphology,
phenological development, biomass production (leaf, litter, wood),
and bioenergy of some timber-yielding species of Northeast Mexico,
which will serve as a guide to study timber-yielding plants in the
native vegetation of Tamaulipan thornscrub and experimental
plantations. This includes morphology, vegetation cover, biomass
production in terms of volume leaf biomass, litter, and volume of
fire wood and timber. Special emphasis is given to the estimation
of bioenergy products and chemical composition (Ph, extractable
lignin, and inorganic elements). Large variations exist in
vegetation cover, morphology, phenological development, biomass
production of leaf and litter, volume of wood and various variable
of bioenergy products among the selected species. The maximum
production was found in summer and the volume of the harvestable
timber was obtained in experimental plantations. This book,
therefore, will serve as a practical handbook to characterize
timber-yielding plants, which will help to efficiently manage
forestry resources.
