Timber

Four major climatic groupings predominate in India tropical wet, tropical dry, subtropical humid, and montane.

Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical dry forests and subtropical or tropical mangrove forests.

2. Further processing means the transformation of logs into primary wood products, semi finished and finished products made wholly or almost wholly of tropical timber and transformation of other forest products to give them added value

Their job is to cut up the wood.

Wood. The burning of wood in private stoves represents the oldest and still the most common form of biomass use.

Increasingly, wood is used in pellet heating systems (using pellets made from dried natural wood chippings).
